First review so don't expect it to be super.
Naruto: Shippuden is set two and a half years after Naruto leaves the Leaf Village to train with Jiraiya and the overall story starts off from that after the main villain the Akatsuki were beginning to move out. This show gets a lot of hate mainly because of the ridiculous amount of fillers which is nearly half the show, some are enjoyable and give more depth to a character, others are completely pointless and totally random. But once you get past that the show is nothing short of excellent, amazing fights, beautiful soundtrack and a pretty great
...
story until the final act of the show which gets a little too out of hand. The art is nothing to write home about but it doesn't disappoint except for one episode, when you get there you'll know it.
This shows main theme is bonds and how Naruto must overall protect his bonds and strengthen them to gain allies and become stronger. The characters are well fleshed out and all given clear motives for each one and excellent backstories are put into place here. The lore is also only enriched here and everything is more developed as all mysteries were explained and answered well and the best is yet to come.
Overall this anime is worth a watch as long as you've completed the first part and can either handle filler or just decide to skip it all together. That's not to say at the end it stumbles, I thoroughly enjoyed this anime as it was my gateway into all the anime I watch now and I still come back for some nostalgia.
