How to Watch Naruto Without Filler (Complete)

IntroverTurtle said:

If someone asks you if you've watched the whole thing and you say yes then they ask how did you like the stealing Kakashi's mask filler episode and you say 'idk, didn't watch it'. Do you see how stupid that sounds? You arbitrarily picking out what is relevant. Fine if you watch anime like that, you can do whatever you want but I'm going to call you out on it on the forum. Like calling the earth flat, factually wrong.

Is episode 271 really not a filler? I don't read the manga so I can't tell for sure, but it's some sort of sakura-amnesia-other world crap.

When will the list be updated? I don't feel like going through all the possible fillers in the episodes after 428. And thank you very much for this list :D

Oh what the hell, the last episode I watched is 423, that means if I start watching again I would get 3 canon episodes and the rest would be filler again??? >.<

Watch those 3 cannon. 424-426 then skip to 451. They are telling Itachi story from the start. It's not really fillers, it's fresh content from the Shinden oficial novels. Of course it repeats some things like the Kurama/Obito attack to Konoha but they only mention those for a bit. They don't show it all again.

Worth it imo. It's awesome to watch chibi Itachi training with Shisui and all that. ^^

Episode 451 onwards it's not really fillers. You should at least put a note in there explaining it.

ariamachi said:


It is filler. Its not part of the manga and anime filler list site thing quoted also has it as filler. Therefore its filler in my book.

N1ghtShadow said:


I am just saying, a small note would let people decide better if they want to skip it or not. The Shinden Novels are cannon.

ariamachi said:


My stance on filler is always the same. I always look at multiple sourses. One of those is animefillerlist.com and if that is showing its filler then I will update accordingly. This guide is outlined for the manga only. Outside novels and stuff are irrelevant. I dont want to cite every little canonical thing cuz it would be forever long lol

Now that the war has commensed in the anime and many people think that the series is drawing to a close its funny how all these new fans are starting to watch naruto now lol.


In any case, it depends on your tolerance level of fillers of course, many people have the attitude to skip everything related to fillers and that is just their general way of thinking i guess is to say that all filler sucks, but its not always true.

I on the other hand find that some of the fillers are pretty decent and are enjoyable. I have watched all of the one piece fillers and naruto fillers and i really liked some of them. Also keep in mind that shipuuden transitions alot of the manga and filler content together, i could give you a complete list or some else on the forums can for a partial/manga filler guide if you want to just watch the canon story.

In my opinion if you truly like the naruto universe and the whole concept behind it, even though the fillers aren't directly related to the cannonical story, you may find some of them to be actually pretty interesting. The shipuuden fillers are by far better then the original series fillers.

The fillers from the original naruto series you most likely would want to skip them, i don't know if you can go through nearly 100 episodes of average filler, by that time you may even loose interest in the canon story and you don't want that. So personally i would skip those, how ever some of them are pretty decent like the "land of rice fields arc" (136-141)and the "land of sea arc (169-173). Also episode 141-142 and 220 are partial filler/manga content so don't skip those.

Looks like your list is pretty accurate though so you have done your homework.

57-70

The 12 guardian ninja arc is pretty decent, it involves a conflict with another organization trying to protect konoho from devastation and in fact their is one patiuclar episode in their that i would say is one of my favorite episodes in the series and its filler.

91-112

The 3 tails arc is pretty average, definitively not my favorite personally, but episodes 92 and 112 are partial filler/manga. The end of the 112 in fact details a pretty important event bout the upcoming next arc.

144 to 151

Is an arc that details a bit more about Utakata which is a key character actually in the canon story. It is a short filler arc, so i would just go ahead and watch it. Thier is not that much detail bout Utakata until the manga.

170-171

can absolutely be skipped.it is not consistent with the canon story and does not transition into the plot like the other fillers to. Its completely useless unless for some reason your feeling a nostalgia and want to see the old characters again.


176-196

is actually another type of arc that isn't consistent with the story and follows adventures from when team 7 was reunited from the original series how ever, it is not recap and actually goes through some different types of scenarios that they have shown, but it is a filler that can definitively be skipped if you want to get right to the story. How ever it is a tricky filler to watch. It is the one filler that has some of the most crucial manga material mixed in with the filer ark. I'll just give you the episodes to not skip for that one.


176
178-180 - These ones are an absolute necessity, you'll know what i mean when you get to that point.
181
182-196 you can skip. How ever i did find some of the humor in these episodes to actually pretty good my self and some of the episodes were pretty cool.

223-242

Is a filler arc that has to do with sea travel, i kind of compared it to One piece my self so it was kind of different to be in the naruto universe but still enjoyable at least for me.

257-260 isn't filler its recap.

So yeah it can be skipped, how ever 257 does have some partial manga material in it if you want to see it, but the rest of them are full recap. How ever at the time that this material takes place in the manga is in a very different time frame, much later on in the story. Either way its nice to see the new detailed HD animation of young sasuske and naruto when they were 8 years old.

*Note: I will update this post when a filler episode, filler arc surfaces or when the series ends. If I made any mistakes with the guide pm me/comment on my profile and I will fix it as soon as I am able too.

*Note: Filler is filler, canon filler will be skipped, the kakashi arc is filler no matter how good it is. This guide goes by the manga. Unless a filler arc is magically in the manga I don't see myself making a note of it or adding it.

*Note: Also, on the topic of a couple minutes of canon in one filler episode. I'm still counting it as filler and not making a note of it. I'm pretty sure it will be mentioned again in some other episode. If its like SUPER LIFE CHANGING OMG SUCH WOW couple of minutes then I'll make a note but other than that it aint being mentioned. If you are one of those people that want to see those couple of minutes: look through this forum post and you'll see people discussing them.

*Note that does not pertain to this guide: My thoughts on Naruto ATM

*Note: Special Thanks (To those that helped a lot with this guide) link9us, the people that commented on this forum and wikipedia

I have also constructed a guide that displays all arcs in accordance to chronology, including, all ova's, movies, specials upon release date and in accordance to the story if you would like to view this. Note: That this is from the Shippuuden Saga of naruto, not the original series. It is separate to this filler guide, but can be used together. (Credits: link9us)
