This is quite interesting. I wonder what happened to make them want to bring it back. Guess it's been enough time and they want money/viewers?
Edit: I think it's good to show fillers, so the viewers get to see the whole show and not miss an episode, despite the hate. I'm not a fan of the show but I hate missing even the stupidest episode.
I also have to wonder if they're going to start at episode 1 or continue where Disney left it?

Oh well. I heard Shippuden is better.
I think it'd still be worth a watch but it is kind of downhill and shippuden began losing me early on, its a show stretched past where it should have been
I couldn't disagree more. The Chunin Exams are so ridiculously dragged out, the preliminaries were literally episodes on episodes of boring fights (Naruto vs Kiba, Shino vs the sound ninja, Ino vs Sakura, etc). Sure it had its moments but it was for the most part boring, best arc in the original Naruto was easily the Tsunade arc. As someone who just rewatched the whole first series, I prefer Shippuden far more than the original.
On topic, are they going to skip fillers? If not they are stupid as hell.
The chunin exams were the part of the show that seemed to ahve the most development going in just about every regard, the main plot was moving, characters were developing and growing relationships with one another, we were getting backstories and learning things about tons of soon to be major characters, and we even saw some rivalries started and concluded, all tied in with the strong finale that had both a emotional conclusion that changed how the series would go as well as provided some entertaining fights(minus the one stolen from cowboy bebop)
Shippuden felt like it was dragging things out too long, not just in pacing but in story overall, it felt like it should have ended years ago and too many of the fights become too reliant on overpowered moves unlike the techniques and tactics they relied on in the first series. While the first series did rely a bit heavily on naruto's power it still managed to not completely rely on it, shippudden did and many of the characters that got good amounts of screen time and development int he first series fade to the background or become entirely pointless a whilst introducing a bunch of new characters that would also fade into the background. On top of that it had too much use of deus ex machina, pulling new moves out of their asses or reversing what should have been permanent decisions, it made things less and less interesting
Even in this final arc, without getting into spoilers, it feels way too mixed, while its good to see it kill of some actually important characters as well as have a few certain plot points i didnt see coming, its all too mixed and it feels really rushed and not well thought out, and how things have gone recently in chapters it feels like it will end with asspulls
Also while shallow, orochimaru was a pretty intimidating villain, while

Oh great, just what Toonami needs......more stupid Naruto.
I stopped re-watching Naruto on toonami after episode 15 or so. Watching the new Shippudden episodes is enough.
Aww, I was actually wanting to watch the Sasuke Retrieval Arc again.
Am I the only one who prefers the original Naruto over Shippuden?
Nope
Most people prefer Naruto actually.
Mod Edit: Double post combined.

Well in any case I have to say at least I'm not going to miss much out of this so-called "time-skip" Toonami is doing here.
I mean I rather be closer to what they have over in Japan right now then to go through all of this for a second time you know. :3

I'm glad for Shippuden...
but what about people watching Naruto for the first time? They'll have to do one heckuva catch-up!
I really doubt this:
they're just counting on those Disney Naruto fans

But Toonami will have Space Dandy so I'll watch that since it'll be out before Japan and when Toonami brings out a new show that I haven't seen, I'll go look it up and if i like it I'll watch it online. Neon Alley is really awesome but I can't get it. But when I'm in the mood to just sit back and watch anime, Toonami is there. Well...on Saturday mornings.
Holy Crap, sorry for the long message. Anime4Life xD
