[OFFICIAL] Naruto - No more new threads about this

 


meowrsx
Okay, surely people here have watched it since it's like the hottest thing right now. I personally thought it was amazing, but stopped watching at about episode 80, and i know i'm way behind now. but from what i hear the story arch isnt so great now anyways. although i understand that it's necessarily, i really hate animes htat flood you with filler episodes and flashbacks from the same episode or the last episode jsut to kill time. also it's funny how if you watch enough, you can tell when the good artist or the bad artist comes on, sometimes there's really crappy animation or the characters look out of wack etc.

I am myself listening to Naruto. Where I live, it plays like once a week so I just saw the serie until I think 25th episode. But I agree, everybody remember all the episodes just on the bridge : I calculated and it makes 4 hours Rolling Eyes ! Sometimes it gets long. But I still think it's a good serie, it's fun to watch.
mtoni
I thought it was the hottest thing around last year ago...
but then I met other anime.
its true, Naruto is cool, but omigod Naruto does have loads of flashbacks and it just becomes a little bit boring.

I still d/l it, but I watch them in packages of 5 eps.
Monkeydog
I used to hate Naruto...thought it was really quite boring, but my sister made me watch it...now I really like it. I'm only on episode 50, but I have really liked the show so far.
TonkPilz
i have all 176 Ep's so far its bean prity good im just iritated about the 59 fillin Ep's well i guess the main story will pick up soon again i hope
ultraman
I have watched them up till now also and those fillers are freaking boring. I think its only around 7 more fillers though. If they don't get back on the story after that I quit watching it. The manga doesn't have the fillers though does it. Because , I saw one about kakashi's past and shows how he got the sharingan eye and I still haven't seen that on the anime yet.
driftingfe3s
I totally stopped watching after the fillers started. I saw a few and they were stupid. I'm up to date with the manga, but I'm still not sure yet if I should start watching agian once the fillers stop.
sketteksalfa

interesting bit of info:

the reason animes usually have fillers is that if they are running at the same time the manga is being produced, they have to go at the same pace as the manga is. that means that if they start getting ahead of the manga, they can either start making up their own story and branch off from the manga, or use fillers until the manga catches up.
Monkeydog
I really, kind of, like fillers from time to time. Like in FMA(the one with warehouse 13 <3 )...but from what I heard about Naruto's fillers...bleh.
Pikokola
Yap, the Anime is crappy I think, I prefer reading the manga.

In my oppinoin it's so lame when watching the Anime, sometimes it's looks like too unreal (pardoning the Ninja ability Of course ^^). And the flashback is better to be read than watched Sad It's sometimes makes me "stupid" err i mean confuse because sometimes the flashback itself didn't have a good time flow, and the story of the flash back is lame too.

In other hand, the manga itself is good (IMO).
takercena
i like the filler very much especially Mitarashi Anko episode. It's very had to see her in action
Kafka
I had watched all episodes and fillers Smile Now I waiting for Kakashi gaiden and new story-line episodes.
NewGuyinTown
Naruto, recently, is boring and doesn't make sense.
The rich kid using money to do jitsu? WTH? It's just lame.

I especially liked it before the 26th episode. It started to rot after Gaara is defeated at the 80th something episode.
darth_revan
Hmm.. lemme make a character rewiev for it:

Naruto: silliest anime character i've ever seen
Sasuke: he's a bit charismatic but a bit cold...
Sakura: she's silly too, not as fool as naruto, though
Kakashi: oh, my character... hatake kakashi is the most charismatic character ever! he rules!
eku53ru
I saw roughly the first season before it was licensed in the States. Frankly, that turned out to be all that I wanted (and could) see of it. ^-^; As for the manga, I've been reading it as it comes out each week in Weekly Jump, but not as devoted as before.

I'll definitely agree - for a TV series, the flashbacks that occurred in battles were a pain to watch - especially if you knew ahead of time what was going to happen. The small changes that I remember seeing were all right, and I did hear the current filler arc wasn't very good. However, it seems that episodes that are merely there for humor and nothing else do pretty well (I think it was episode 101?).
ddukki
I'm enjoying the manga right now. The anime isn't dubbed very well in American, and I don't have the motivation or the patience to download them in Japanese. Besides, that's illegal ... not that that's stopped any of us before xD. jk jk

XD; I haven't heard the dub yet (I don't have cable or some service where I can receive Cartoon Network), but I've heard it argued as both a good and bad dub. But then again, I'm partial to saying it's bad because of what I've heard about Naruto's catch phrase being changed to "believe it!" Laughing
Itachi
I personally never get to watch the shows but i have read all of the mangas up to chaper 293 so i know a lot and the mangas dont have all of the fillers and flashbacks and stuff.

~Itachi
fortify
yeah its pretty cool, my friend lent me like 100 episodes and i watched it all. Its pretty interesting sometimes but it gets boring and repetitive.
diddle
I really like Naruto. Pretty nice anime, but I get to watch the crappy cartoon network version of the show and its not as good as the originals...
bluefossil

TonkPilz

Anywaaaay....
I can't wait until the fillers stop (should be somewhere in April, when this season ends). I'm still following the manga, and I can't wait to see some of the stuff that's been happening there on color and animated. Specially the *thing that happened to Naruto recently on that bridge scene* (no spoilers, sorry). And I wanna see how Cartoon Network is gonna handle the censorship when the anime finally reaches the part when Sai is introduced. XD
Demon Fox
Naruto is awesome! I haven't watched teh last 3 eps though.
HardCoreRO
I love Naruto!
Its like my favorite anime.
My favorite characters are Gaara,the evil one, and Hatake Kakashi.And a little bit of Sasuke.
r_y_e_20
im here in the Philippines and my boss lives in the US. when he heard im crazy about Naruto, he became crazy too. He actually both full eps of Naruto, and everyday he change his display icons with Naruto characters. Our world stops when the series started. By the way, is it true that the voice behind Naruto is a woman?
vaoger

Yepp actualy she is not really a woman she's still a kid 7 or 10 or somting like that if my memory is correct.but thats not unusual that girls gets to be the voice for young boys in anime. Bart simpsons voice is also made by a girl
Cthulhuman
I'm sorry everyone, I know you are going to hate me but I mean in my opinion it's another DBZ. It's getting caught up in all of the hype. Really it's not the anime but the fact that I hate Cartoon Network for ruining animes. if you watch the Japanese ones they are a lot better than the english dubbed ones (plus they are free and legal because they are fan subs) just go to any fan sub site that has them and download them with bitcomet. I mean personally i can't stand to watch it because it's going to have like over 150 eps and really i don't care at all.
Rsam
For the fansub watchers the fillers(according to episode titles) will end at episode 182. The wait is over!

The dub isn't nearly as bad quality as DBZ, it's a passable dub.
kiseki89
I like Naruto... In fact I like animes that's training-related or fighting-related.
Fav characters : Sasuke[the front epi], Naruto, Garaa, the 5th Hokage and Naruto's teacher[the very strong one not kakashi]
Monkeydog
"(plus they are free and legal because they are fan subs)"
That's a total lie, fansubs are as legal roms.

Actually I don't think there is anything illegal about downloading japanese material and watching it in North America, the only place that it is illegal is in japan. Downloading the dubbed episodes however is illegal.

That is so true. @_@ No matter where you are, fansubs are illegal, and that's demonstrated easily through how many groups have been busted and were threatened to be sued by companies 'cause they were caught in the act.

@Rsam - it's not just legal in Japan - it's legal practially everywhere in the world (if not everywhere). Fansubs have always been illegal, but when a series is licensed (especially in the US), there's a higher chance of getting sued.

Naruto has always been licensed, too, as discovered recently by various anime news sites. Since Viz is a sister company to Shueisha, they already are entitled to the rights of the Naruto anime. It's just that they don't come out officially like other companies have done.

I might be wrong (or probably am) in some of my facts, so if anyone'd like to correct me, feel free to. @_@
TonkPilz
useually companys in japan dont care if ther anime is being fan-sub'd and downloaded in other countrys coz its basecly free publicity as long as the anime havent bean licensed in the Us briten or caneda sens u can olways order the stuff from thes countrys olready subd and dubd.

on the topic il probebly stop whit naruto intill the fillers stop around ep 188 whast it ?

I really hate naruto in malay version (tranlate to malay language) but I used to watch it in original version because for me, it's more interesting in japanese.

Here I have some good website that provide direct download for naruto anime:
www.naruto-kun.com
www.narutocentral.com
www.narutochaos.com
dragonflame
I actually like the fillers, it kind of gives you a sense of their everyday life. I mean not everyday is a life and death fight right?

Besides, I like naruto and hinata getting close. Naruto is so clueless, reminds me of goku and chi chi, as well as the interaction between members of different groups. wonder if naruto ends up with sakura though...bec sakura does eventually show feelings for naruto...

What I dont like:
1) why is naruto wearing orange when hes a ninja? doesnt that make him a bit easy to find?

2) in the last major naruto and sasuke battle, they were throwing each other around like saiyans, when they should physically be like humans, and yet, it was like nothing to be thrown into a mountain. COOL fight though...

3) i hate it when naruto turns into a girl and charms ero sennin...makes me fill iffy...i mean he is still a guy pretending to be a girl after all!
diddle
im just glad that naruto didn't turn out to be a major tradegy like what they did with one piece. That was just sad... major battles with no blood or cursing?!! WTF?!!!
vaoger
well since like many people like NARUTO....
which is your flavor character in the Naruto...??

My one is... kakashi....
the look cool to me....
acually i was wandering...... how kakashi mouth look like...??? Does he got fang.... becouse he is form white fang clan... mystery.....
great guy who love Jeraiya work... come come paradise...
crazykamel
What I really hate in the anime is that as it is to advanced relative to the manga, they add useless missions that brake the ruthm of anime.

For my part, i download scan since I can't wait ^^
akaRival
While I agree that some of the fillers are slow, you always have the option to skip them! at the beginning of every episode, there is a message saying how many weeks/episodes are left before the main plot returns. If you filter out the fillers and watch the plot, it is just as good, the few things that you miss, you can figure out by yourself.

Naruto also happens to be the most dynamic and most in-depth and well-explained anime I have yet watched. The only other anime that I think is up to par is FMA. Although it is completely different FMA is good but even FMA doesnt explain alchemy as well as Naruto explains jutsu.

If you aren't interested in keeping up with the anime, the manga is also amazing. It is straight plot, no fillers, and surprisingly enough, it is just as engaging.

Cheers,

Rival
diddle
I watch all the episodes... because I'm cool like that. You are right when you say that naruto explains the jutsu system better then the alchemy system in FMA.
*off topic* but in the later episodes it explains how they are able to even use alchemy, which was pretty cool.
Dragate
Naruto really has a lot of filler episondes... It's funny and moving but after like 150 something I stopped watching... It does get repetative and sorta boring but i'm sure it's fine seeing the number of people who watch it >>

140th or 150th episodes are fillers, it just makes manga catch up with the movie.
tsukiyuuki
Actually, neither of the movies have actual concrete places in the timeline-- ie. ebtween episode 81 and episode 82, for example.

The reason for the gazillion tonnes of filler (as in pretty much a years worth-- 48 episodes so far) is so that the manga can get far enough ahead that the anime won't catch up within ten episodes. For example, they started animating Full Metal Alchemist before the manga was done and, consequently, the anime and manga storylines completely break away from each other.

Most of the Naruto filler isn't particularly good, but there has been some decent stuff; the recent filler arc with Hidden Star Village wasn't too bad, though it doesn't beat real plot-type episodes. The way I look at it is, at least the Naruto filler is better than the Dragonball Z filler. (19 episodes for the Frieza fight, anyone?)

I tend to get a kick out of the Naruto filler because you get to see more of the really cool characters (like Hinata, Kiba, Anko, Lee, etc) that you don't necessarily see a lot of in the "real", non-filler episodes. I'm a big fan of Team Kurenai, Team Gai, and Team Asuma, so I'm quite pleased that I get to see more of them, even if it's only filler.
diddle
i like when filler episodes use clips from episodes that are like in the beginning of the entire show.... its just great Smile
cparakawa
I watched episode 185, about the Onbu thing. It's really a shame. When will fillers end? I listened something about that only in next season ...
juliox
Hi to everyone, well this post has nothing to do with the episodes, it is just ideas that I have about the Naruto endings, well as we know Naruto is realesing epidose 185 and again it is a filler too, but the manga is going for the number 307, well I have thought that Naruto will be a HOKAGE but he will die trying to save his country, also Sasuke has acquire a great power i think that for some reason Itachi left him alive bc the main charactet of his organization which i think is his best friens that is supposed to be death is the leader, and since Itachi knows that he cant deal with him he left sasuke alive back then when itachi killed of the member of his village, for sure the 5th is going to kill Orochimaru and or sasuke will kill it trying to save Naruto. thats is what i think, i know that it is strange but it is what bother me...lol
tsukiyuuki
I'm figuring that either NAruto will get Sasuke to come back to Konoha, or he'll kill kim out of necessity to save people or something, but I really have no idea.
sceptileex
Naruto.... as much as its fanbase is huge... as long as it drags out for a friggin 182 episodes? tho including fillers, i think sux : / but before i start on anything else, the fillers havent stopped. But can i ask those people who watch the manga, what do you think of the manga quality? I personally cant be bothered to watch the fillers, so i dll the manga. But i must say, * in a selfish way * his drawing sux. I mean, bleach, all the ohter animes honestly own it. Seriously, is the manga even good to watch in the fisrt place?

Spoiler alert: sasuke looks really gay in the latest chapter > . >
tsukiyuuki
The manga is generally better than the anime, but there are certain bits that I like anime-verse rather than manga-verse just because they work better with literal motion, not implied motion.


Quote:
But i must say, * in a selfish way * his drawing sux.


The thing about that is that it's all a matter of perspective. For example, the Mona Lisa is world famous, but not everyone likes it. It isn't that Kishimoto's drawing sucks, but that you don't like his style of drawing. I'm sure there are people out there who think that the drawing style of your favourite manga artist-- whoever that may be-- sucks. It's all relative. There's isn't an artist out there that absolutely everyone likes.
alexcheng
what episode is the anime up to now? and what ist hat in manga equivalent? I've been watching the anime and it's pissing me off.

SO much filler/flashbacks Sad but i guess tht's just how it is iwth anime.


I hate it, but yet i can't stop watching it........ so addictive! This is the reason i like anime that goes on for only about 15-30 episodes, cuz at least there's an ending to it.
tsukiyuuki
Episode 186 of the anime just came out today (well, sort-of-yesterday for Japan), and chapter 308 of the manga is due out this Friday in the Weekly Shonen Jump. The manga is much further ahead timeline-wise than the anime, because of all the anime fillers.
Lied
I used to watch a lot of naruto when if first started, now i have abandoned the show completely.It is getting tiresome and normal episodes look like fillers to me since there is no point for thier existance.The company that had bought the license is known for its money-loving policy and does not have problem to take animes and make it in 800episode series untill thier popularity drops to 0.The same company bought the rights for Bleach as well, and am afraid that Bleach will end up like Naruto did. Sad
vaoger
well me?? sasuke will try to kill naruto i think...
it will be much dramatic if they fight and naruto shown his last tail...
that will be a hitz. where sasuke the sharigan versus the nine tail naruto.
i still waitn for it.... patient is the word..
well wat is the channel to watch naruto on japan channel?? any know...??
Pikokola
in japan channel.. hmm.. I think it's in TV Tokyo every 7:27-7:55 [next episode will be #186, on May 24th 2006 Smile] <-- if I'm nopt mistaken

hey don't blame me if it's different, what's your zone time?, of course it's different if you're in other country Smile
juliox

uhhh, i think they're different. They're living in the Western side, after all. So I'm not too sure if they have japanese channels there We have access in jap channels in here (Philippines) as well as some other asian channels because perhaps we're living in asia?? I dunno *shrugs*


Do you have wowow channel there??
Inestical
My friend gave me 2004,2003 jump festas the first movie and 136 episodes.

hmm.. I gotta dl the others soon too. I like the comedy ín it, especially the Rock Lee and his sensei. It's fun to see how Sakura beats naruto up once in a while too Very Happy
guatemaleco
I got into the anime about 2.5 years ago. At the time I was a freshman in college. I had never really got that much into anime before this show. My roommate at the time started watching the first 50 episodes then. I went from being annoyed with him always watching it, to slowly paying attention to it, finally as he got to about episode 30, I said "FINE! Just send them to me." And I've been hooked ever since.
I started following the Manga about the 89 mark. Basically I wanted to know what was going to happen. That being said, the manga is still a great sotry. I'm alwayson the edge of my seat, but the ARCs in the anime are just making my lose all respect for this show. If I wasn't anticipated the return to the storyline so much I wouldn't still download it every Wednesday. I wish they'd go ahead and just licence the escond "series". It's so infuriating.
fireydeviant
Does anyone have a good list that determines which episodes are filler, and which are not?
Sephz0r
Fillers 'supposedly' end in 2 weeks.

Anything in the last 60 episodes from 187 is filler.
xzoz92
just gotta say from what iwe seen of naruto its great (off the topic there is a fan picture of kakashis mouth if anyones interested i can look it up)
im on episode 117 and i dont know when the fillers will start and yes i watch on youtube and yes i knwo its illegal but here in sweden there is no channel that airs the "real" episodes n trust me swedish dubbed animes makes me wanna tear my ears off
tsukiyuuki
The filler will be starting really soon if you're on episode 117, and it still isn't done. Episode 191 was on last week, the filler has been going for over a year, and it ISN'T DONE! *tears clothes and weeps dramatcially*

... Okay, I'm good. I've done enough emo-crying over the filler now.

do you know wich episode it is gonna start on? just asking(just opened episodes 118-124 pages youtube ownz)
tsukiyuuki
Well, 135 is the last manga-based episode, and then the filler starts. The first couple filler arcs are actually fairly decent as filler goes, and worth watching, especially if you have nothing to do, but they aren't great.

Personally, I'm watching them anyway, just because. Especially since I got the second Naruto movie. (It has Gaara! And Kankurou! YAY! But no Temari, which is weird as all get-out.) It should hold me over until the filler stops. Which is hopefully soon.

Oh god, I hope it's soon.
xzoz92
i am watching ep 119 now who is this white-haired guy?
tsukiyuuki
With the huge hair and dressed in red and grey? That's Jiraiya, one of the Sannin (him, Orochimaru, and Tsunade). He was trained by the Sandaime Hokage when he was a genin, and he trained the Yondaime Hokage when he was a Jounin. He's a great character. ^_^ I love Jiraiya, he's hilarious.
xzoz92
yup i knwo the "perverted hermit" jiraya its not him its someone form orochimarus side from what i get he was suposed to be the next body orochimaru where going to change to
tsukiyuuki
OH! You mean Kimimaro; with the long white hair? The one who's like half-dead? Yeah, he was supposed to be Orochimaru's next vessel, but then he started dying. He has a really cool bloodline limit - he can manipulate his bones. He can make them really hard, or shoot them from his body or rip his spine out to use as a sword. Very Happy
xzoz92
ok another freakshow then hmm cant they come up with something else i mean first gaara now this? its starting to look like they play on the same theme ower n ower again
tsukiyuuki
I'm not sure what you mean, because Kimimaro and Gaara are completely different, but if you think that it's just going to be an endless stream of stronger and stronger people between Naruto and Sasuke-in-a-bucket, then you're wrong. You're getting fairly close to the end of the manga-based episodes and the beginning of the filler.
Vashni
I guess you could say I'm a Naruto Fan. Razz I only have 1-140, but have watched most of them. Where are they up to now? It's still on air I think.
tsukiyuuki
Episode 192 aired in Japan this week, but it's still filler episodes. Yes, the filler has gone on this long. If you've read the rest of the thread, you can see it's driving me insane. I want the timejump animated dash it all!

Vashni, do you read the manga? If you don't know where to find it I can link you - who knows how long it'll be before they stop writing filler and start writing actual manga-based episodes again....
Tatsumaru
I'm at episode 140 and I'll just continue watching... though the fillers aren't that cool, I still think they're enjoyable to watch.

My favorite characters are Kakashi, because he's so laid back and cool, and Rock Lee, because his hard work for improvement reminds me of myself.
tsukiyuuki
Lee is one of those characters that a lot of people don't like because he's kind of silly sometimes, and I find a lot of girls don't like him because they don't think he's as good looking as most of the other male characters.

Me? I love Lee; he's great, there are so many sides to him. ^_^
AkakoSeven
Loved the manga, hated the anime. It screws everything up, and the battles are *extremely* slow. The anime doesn't follow the manga at all in the later episodes - for me, watching Naruto anime is painfully arduous and boring. And so damn repetitive.
fangfox
I like the anime, yes the fight sequences are slow but they have to talk or else it'll just be *shutter* DBZ where it's simply flashes of light and explosions.
tsukiyuuki
I definitely have to agree with fangfox gere; at least we haven't (yet) had ten episodes for "five minutes" of supposedly actual time. Goku vs Frieza fight, anyone? *cringes*
kazoe
*snorts* why would they not love Lee? is it just because of the looks and the cheesy lines? I like him, his character is strong (im not talking about physical strength here) and he's really, really nice.

Anyway, I have the recent copies of the anime but I got lazy on watching the fillers so I found myself slowly gravitating toward the manga. Now I only read the manga and maybe will go back to the anime again if the canon story is back.

I have not completed the DBZ series (and I have no plans to) but yeah, the fight is rather long but I enjoy the technical aspect. Even though the characters are off-model sometimes, the foreshortening and the poses are good, and I enjoy picking out those things and making fun of their mistakes so I never realize that its actually long. I'm talking about the Valley of End fight. (That's me and my animator side speaking Rolling Eyes ) But on the other things, I really, really dont mind the fight, I like action and fightings and the unique fightings in Naruto amuses me. The only fight scene I have a problem of is the Valley of End one.
tsukiyuuki
People don't love Lee because he's a bit goofy, even though he's still an awesome character despite his goofiness. I think it's endearing when he acts all goofy, but some people only like characters because they're t3h prett3h!!1!1! as opposed to good, well-rounded characters. *sigh*

I've been watching the anime filler, but only because I literally have nothing better to do most of the time.

...I think you'll agree with the fact that what that statement implies is terrifying. (My town has a population of <3000, so there's never anything to do.)

I suppose I enjoy the technical aspect of the Goku vs. Frieza fight as well, though only now/in hindsight. At the time, I cared nothing about the animation or anything, and just getting it over with. ^^;;
KhoaN
I love Naruto, but I find it hard to stay interested when all they have right now are a bunch of filler episodes. I mean I suppose there should be fillers once in a while, but the ones they have been putting on aren't even that interesting.

Plus, it makes me mad that eventhough Sauske is away, no one's even trying to locate him! I mean, all the fillers don't even pertain to the story one bit. I'd rather they just not play any fillers and concentrate on working on the real actual story so that it can be finished faster than making pointless fillers that have no purpose whatsoever.

I can't wait till the fillers are finally over. But for now, at least I have Bleach to watch. Haha.
tsukiyuuki
Well, the reason for the filler is so that the manga can get far enough ahead in the actual stoyline than when they start animating the actual story, it doesn't take only one season for the anime to catch up to the manga and they have to put more filler on again.

It does actually make some amount of sense, when you think about it; one big batch of filler now so that they won't have to do as much filler later on.

I don't like the anime as much as the manga. Usually it's the other way around, with the action and all that, but I think it's because I started the manga before the anime. The show follows the manga very closely and I think I get a little ... not bored, but I feel like I've already seen everything. I guess that's not a bad thing in itself, since it stays true to form.

I have seen every Naruto episode made. there are about 80-90 good ones. too many fillers but its a great story. i really hope it starts getting back to the real story soon. db subs them all so check em out
QrafTee
Please don't take these words to me too seriously because I'm not sure myself. On some other forum (GameFAQs), some guy had in his signature that LeafNinja.com reported that after Naruto Movie 3 is released, the anime will be back on track starting with Kakashi Gaiden. However, I checked LeafNinja.com and couldn't find anywhere that mentions that part.

There have been two Naruto movies released for far-- Furious Action! The Snow Princess Ninja Chronicles, and Furious Clash! The Phantom Ruins in the Depths of the Earth!-- with the third movie, Great Excitement! The Animal Riot of Crescent Moon Island, slated for release in Japanese theatres on August 5th, 2006.

As far as the rumour that following the release of the third movie, the filler episodes will end, I can only hope. I do know that the third movie is supposed to be the last one during part one of the series, but I don't know for sure about the ending of the filler following it's release.

I don't know where the guy on GameFAQs got that, because as of right now LeafNinja.com is reporting filler episodes at least up until #199, which will be showing August 30th. I wasn't able to find anything concerning a projected end date for the current filler arcs.

Unfortunately. *SIGH*

I love Naruto. I´ve watched every episode from 1 to 194!

I am still trying to get all the manga to read it.

You can buy the manga as translated by Viz or as scanlations through sites like NarutoFan.com, one of my favourites. (And I'm totally not biased because Tazmo is Canadian. *shifty eyes* Nope, not at all. </denial> Wink )

Actually, that's why they are called fillers. The story hung up and some random crack!episodes that does not have any necessary relation to the story at all appears. The second season will start on what they have left on the original story (Naruto is going with Jiraiya to train for 3 1/2 years)

I started watching anime before I got curious in manga. And when I've learned that the story there is actually the original one (and the anime is an adaptation of the comic) I started reading them

Narutofan. I just stumbled along the site and registered to download manga. But I never go to forums. The fandoms (or rather the fans) are breaking my brains up. >,<

And yeah, let's just hope for the best. Actually, I stopped getting impatient on the arrival of the canon story. *shrugs*

I have 1-135. A friend of mine gave them to me at work, the series is quite addicting. I am on 36 now, the main thing that annoys me is that the episode starts 5 minutes or so after the video begins; all before that is background from the last episode and the theme thing...

I didn't know there were movies, I will have to look into that Very Happy
Kurosaki-Ichigo
Well i myself have only seen until episode 10 only Subbed which can be downloaded from the internet. I think Naruto is a good Anime but they are just running out of episodes. If youve seen one of the latest episodes (That has been Subbed) it sais everyone goes on a mission but Uzumaki Naruto himself has no reason to go. So you see it just cant hold up itself. Bleach is something else. It really hasnt got hot yet but when it does there will be nothing stoping it. Naruto is in the UK in episode 20 and in the Usa around 100. In the USA it shows on Cartoon Network and in the UK on Jetix.
tsukiyuuki
Everything since episode 136+ has been filler. They actually have a bunch of material left for new, manga-based episodes, but they haven't started doing them yet because they want the anime to get far enough ahead that they won't catch up to the manga in one season.

*sigh* Filler... blah....

I don't know if the Bleach manga is finished yet, but if it isn't it may end up having the same problem Naruto is: getting animated fast enough to catch up with the manga, it's source material, and then having to show filler episodes until there's enough new source material to start animating the new story arcs. This happens to a lot of animes that are started before the manga is nowhere near finished.

Im told bleach is very good, and i know people who prefer it very much so to naruto. Im on episode 100 atm, and most say the series really goes down after 120/130. After i catch up with naruto, il have to look into bleach Smile. Anyway, atm naruto is actually really gripping. Il be watching it for 3 hours at a time, thinking iv only been watching for 1 hour!! if i had better internet, i would DL the eps and watch them full screen, but i have to watch them small and laggy over youtube >.<! Naruto just managed to plant the resengan on Kabuto Very Happy. I saw both the movies before hearing of resengan, and i was like "wtf?!" xD. i hope it doesnt get as bad as people say it does. To all the people whov seen up to 195, does it really fall down that bad? Sad

You're around episode 100, which means "THAT" part of the series is coming up. That'll be the biggest turning point of the entire story so far, which I won't comment much on since I don't know if you're aware of what's coming next. At any rate, it's gotta be one of the top moments of the whole series. Anyway, after THAT event happens, if you're reading the manga, there's supposed to be a "jump" and the story progresses 2 and a half years. On the other hand, the anime is delaying that time jump by inserting episodes with small missions that rarely last more than 3 episodes. Mostly, the missions/stories aren't all that special, so after a while it starts getting old. Many "huge fans" of Naruto already quit watching the series, hoping for the day it catches up with the manga again.

I'll just tell you this: The last episode of Naruto that has ANYTHING to do with the manga is episode 135. After that, it's just filler episodes. At that point you might want to continue watching the series or not, it's up to you. But my advice is to start reading the manga and see what really happens next, after those 2 and a half years. For one, at this moment the manga is 5 times better than the series, and the story is actually progressing.
Nintendo
ohhh, i see. iv never actually read the manga for naruto, or for any anime at that. i hear that sasuke "dissapears", but my bro would give me any more info Evil or Very Mad . Okay, so is it missions like they did with haku and zabuza, or worse? Also, how much time has approximatly passed between ep 135 and 196, now that you say we have to wait for 2.5 years in naruto time for the main story line to develop again? did that make any sense? Very Happy
QrafTee
Unfortunately that rumor is only a rumor as LeafNinja has reported filler episode titles beyond the release of the third movie. That rumor came to be when it was officially announced that the third movie will be the last movie for Naruto Part 1, but that only means there will be no more movies. And for all we know the next movie will be out in four more months which would make Naruto Part 2 debut in December/January-ish.

Yeah, like I said, the "filler eps stopping with movie three's release" thing was a rumour, and wrong based on the official episode titles from LeafNinja.com

As of right now, NarutoFan.com is reporting a rumour (that is still definitely a rumour) that Part II will begin at episode 200, but it may be too much to hope for. *sigh* Until the episode title for episodes 200 and beyond have been officially realeased, I remain cautiously pessimistic regarding the ending of the filler.

Well, at least there isn't any filler in the manga. That's one blessing, at least. *wanders off to read chapter 318 since she wasn't home to read it last week*

EDIT:
Rumour is false. My pessimism was founded. *sigh* Episodes 200 and 201 are both filler episodes. Curse you, evil filler!
panacuba
Naruto anime fillers will come to an end with Episode 199 of the Japanese Naruto anime series, and the much awaited Kakashi Gaiden will air starting on Episode 200 and go through to Episode 204, and Part 2 of the Naruto series that has been over a year in the making will air with Episode 205. The episode titles for the following are: Konoha's Yellow Flash Appears!, Kakashi Gaiden Starts!!!!!, Kakashi Break Down! The Sharingan Awakens, and finally End of Kakashi Gaiden! 205 Begins the Next Generation! - whether this is true or not we will have to wait and see, but it sure sounds convincing and Naruto fans around the world will rejoice! It should be noted that this is not 100% confirmed, and may or may not be correct. So, please dont get to many hpes its a rumor

I really hope this is true, since its on 197 right now.

Oh my god... I truly, truly hope that this is true! I had been getting sick and tired of the fillers... that I stopped watching them by the time I got to episode... 178 I believe? Somewhere around there... I was really going to sack Naruto (the anime, anyway) if they didn't stop putting for fillers out... So yeah, you guys have no idea just how darn happy I am that they're finally getting back to the series! (Or actually, maybe you guys do...) Anyway, should this rumor prove to be true, well... I'm back to watching Naruto again. ^__^ I've been following the manga ever since episode 178, which I'd have to say is better than the anime... For one thing... no fillers. *cough*

Ahh... as for not getting my hopes up, it already went up when I read this. Of course, I am prepared if this proves to be false. Well, either that, or I explode. *cough* But yeah, anyway, panacuba, thank you for this wonderful information! ^___^

Well, all the world is speculating wheter the fillers going to end or not.

The truth is, NO one (maybe even the animators!) know when the filler eps will end.

Well, you see every season consists about 26 episodes (like the first season) but sometimes there are more episodes. You see, that it's nearly time for opening change. So there's a chance that with opening change we will get no filler episodes.

But, the no-fillers are ending when Jiraiya asks Naruto to go with him to 2 and a half year of training. So again, there's a possibility for another bunch of foolish fillers. And it's very possible, because it's perfect time for fillers.

Or maybe they make Part 2 straight with next season ends. There is also some episodes before Naruto Part 2 - the one when he leaves village with Jiraiya, and Kakashi Gaiden

BTW, someone faked Kakashi Gaiden on Mininova torrents with Naruto 190+ episode and mislabelled it as Jump Festa 2006 or somewhat other, what a moron, duh. I went straight to download it, but I read the comments this is fake, so I don't download it. And it was best downloaded torrent in a day! Is that a joke? Fake a top downloaded? Moronic joke...

Okay, so we got the last episode and Kakashi Gaiden, I think after this filler arc, or maybe another 2-3 episode of filler arc there will be END OF THIS DAMN FILLERS :/

Okay, I got the information from some particular source, saying, that Dattebayo concludes, that fillers will FINALLY end in episodes 200-206. I think you may or may not believe it, but it's actually very possible. And it's about time to change opening too.

And one more thing - the Naruto Movie 3 - the storyline is in Naruto Part 2! Naruto got new clothes, as Sakura and Lee, but not that clothes either.

But that's not the point, There's a fact, that Studio Pierrot said, that there will be end of fillers - the Naruto Movie 3 is the last of Naruto Part 1 piece. So the fillers will end sooner or later!

To the all fans of Naruto that stopped watching because of fillers - watch it carefully or you'll miss the no-fillers!
Temple Of Wisdom
I personally love Naruto. I love almost anything asian or to do with ninjas. lol Anyway...I love naruto, have seen then all up to 72 or something. i have all of them up to 140 on my computer, slowly watching them. i have no idea what they are up to now, but i hear that its still going.

Thats awesome. I still have to finish watching the original naruto episodes. then i have to see about getting the new ones. looks like its still a huge hit worldwide though. it such a cool show, so why wouldnt it be? lol
tsukiyuuki
votd Arrow Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm hoping that when Jiraiya takes Naruto away to train they'll end Part I right there and not put in any more filler. Likewise, I'm hoping that they'll go straight into the Kakashi Gaiden - or if they decide not to animate that (though why they wouldn't, I don't know), straight into Part II. I think more filler would melt my brain. XD

If you don't mind, please give me your source because according to my source you are wrong. The reason for this is that Episodes 200 and 201 have their titles released which would hint that it continues the "Trap master mini-filler." If you reveal your source as NarutoFan then they said it's a very rough rumor by their interpretations of what they do know.
-C4-
Well I watch Naruto every so often in Japaneese, I find it a lot better then the English version and find I can see more of the episodes without waiting! (By watching them online of course) although I can hardly understand it, I really watch the subtitles and make sure to follow it. I like the music and everything! The charachters sound different and they way the react is just awesome!
-C4-
Thats great although I'm only at Episode 55.
tsukiyuuki
I find the Japanese version better, too - dub!Naruto makes my ears bleed, and they completely trashed all the awesome opening and ending music. XP
-C4-
Yeah, I seem to not watch the English version much because of the times. Here in the UK it's only on at 8pm and it collides with my mum's soaps and it's on Sky so I can't watch it.

QrafTee is correct. Episodes 200 & 201 are continuations of the filler, as confirmed by this site. The titles for the episodes are as follows (for those who can't read Japanese):

Jpn. 09/13/06 Episode 200: "Working Hard on Active Duty, The Strongest Helper"

Jpn. 09/20/06 Episode 201: "Multiple Traps, Countdown to Collapse"

It's good that you like the Rock Lee v. Gaara part because I think it's one of the best fights in the whole series. I'm a huge Rock Lee fan and I can tell you that it gets better (that fight and the next fight way later on). During the fillers though Rock Lee seems more like a comedy relief (but in better ways than with Naruto).

I agree wholeheartedly - that is a fantastic fight. Lee kicks so much a$$. I think the only reason he hasn't got more fans is because most girls (and maybe guys, too, I dunno) think he's too stupid looking to actually be cool.

I, on the other hand, think he's adorable. ^_^ Lee is all kinds of love, as is Chouji. *loves her slightly goofy but still butt-kicking ninjas*

Hm... surprisingly enough, I'm not as, uh, disappointed or angered as I thought I'd be when you guys did confirm that the rumor was just that -- a rumor (and a very rough one at that). I suppose it's not so much that I don't care whether or not the fillers will end (I do, as a matter of fact) but, gah, I really do blame it on my day. It had turned out bad enough and I guess seeing the truth of this news is such a small disappointment that I feel indifferent altogether. *laugh* ... *cough* Anyway...

Well, seeing how the fillers will not end by either episode 200 or 201, does anybody have any clue whatsoever as to when the fillers might end so we can (at last) get back to the actual plot of the story? It must've been thirty something episodes of fillers by now, am I correct? Or is it twenty something? Ahh... I don't remember... Seems like a year ago since I last watched 'em. But anyway, thanks in advance for any information you guys may have. ^__^

Sasuke pwns Naruto in their fight, but not by much. I still like Naruto better because he's less emo, uptight, angsty, annoying, etc. I'm not much of a Sasuke fan - he's far too into himself and tends to spend a lot of time wallowing in angst and self-pity, which bugs me to no end. Also, he's very "OMG U CANT POSSIBLEY EVEN TRY 2 UNDERSTNAD MY PANE!!!11!!1!" (Spelling errors and chat speak intentional. XD)

This isn't to say he isn't a good character, because he is, he just gets on my nerves. XD

Exactly. Sasuke just makes me sigh and shake my head at his emo-ness. Also, sometimes laugh. (Hence why I just changed my icon. XD)

Well, Naruto pwns Gaara, and then (in manga-verse, not yet animated) Deidara of Akatsuki pwns Gaara really good - as in, rather more than Naruto. Then the rest of Akatsuki pwns Gaara, too.

I'm not sure what "little thing" between Naruto and Hinata you're referring to - perhaps when he gets all flaming pissed at Neji when Neji almost kills her? Not sure.
Nintendo
i was told a fling! Shocked it appears i was lied at xD. Well when you say naruto pwns him, you mean the Boss Frog vs the big monster gaara, or another time? Very Happy. and btw, loving the pic xDxD.

its been quite interesting in the beginning.
until now,the story line is not going that smoothly and it substituted with a lots of missions,i think its start to be a slightly bored there.
i hope the story will go on interesting and not watching them do all their missions only.
kinda disappointed Sad

Nintendo Arrow Yeah, I mean when Naruto and Gamabunta kick his butt. And there is an almost-something for Hinata and Naruto during the third or so filler arc, but it isn't much. Cute, but not much. ^^

sky305 Arrow Yeah, some of the recent episodes have been absolutely terrible - the most recent filler arc, however, has been fairly decent so far. I'm hoping it will stay that way.
Nintendo
xD, my mates like in love with Hinata Shocked .Awww.
Btw, i think they definitly should have kept the first music opening to Naruto from the begining, but maybe changed the vid Smile. Cos that theme was so awesome Very Happy. I think its called "Rocks"
scryoko
Well... I'd say that the filler episodes (*cough* season *cough* -- because it bloody damn hell is like a season in itself, tch...) began approximately episode... 142? I just checked it up right now. And... hot damn. That is really, really long. What with how we're currently on like episode 198... geez, that's a total of 56 episodes!! Consecutively!!

Well, I hope you enjoy watching the episodes right now, Nintendo, becuase I think you will probably get sick of the fillers sooner or later. I myself watched until about 178... but you know... I really was pretty sick of them by like around episode 156 or something. But I kind of forced myself to keep on watching it (more because I had to return the episodes to my friend -- that was my motivation, not really in that I wanted to really watch it *cough*). But yeah, anyway, you've got till 142 before the fillers begin. Enjoy.

"ROCKS" is the title indeed. They definitely should have kept the original openings and endings, though I disagree about them changing the animations. XD *is sadly in love with the all opening and ending animations*

Umm... when you say "pwn Gaara," I would have to say yes, but it won't be by any of the heroes as you'll see later on Konoha and Hidden Sand make up because of a big trickery. But I will say yes, later on he will get "pwned." And yes, Rock Lee is the best character, then Neji... then Shikamaru, Tenten, and so on.

meh as u surely can see i prefer shino ower all else hes not very cool rather creepy wich i like for that fact and using bugs is many times better than using a single dog what if shino tames a nest of flees next what will akamaru do then?

Shino is awesome, yes, but he couldn't tame a nest of fleas. His chakra-eating Kikai bugs are specific to the Aburame clan - he doesn't just use Random Bug Variety #37.

Uhhh, they didn't mean the end of Kakashi, just the end of the Kakashi Gaiden arc/sidestory.


I was already told this, but thx anyway Smile. Kakashi owns Very Happy

But yeah, anyway, you've got till 142 before the fillers begin. Enjoy.


Thx man, i dont look foward to the fillers :S. Are these eps like the Tea country episodes? they werent SO bad, but they still werent as good as the main storyline, although it did develop the rivalry between naruto and sasuke a bit more. Also building on Idate and his bro from the Konoha leaf clan. Im guessing this somehow is an important story later on Smile. Anything developed on idate yet? Smile

heh, nice ddmak Smile

Heh, i like Kiba cos he just has a funny and nice character, my fav character after Kakashi Smile. plus, he was only aggressive in the fight against naruto in the Chuunin exam preliminaries cos he had to be, who wouldnt? Smile. Therefore, he pwns Very Happy
tsukiyuuki
Kiba just pwns in general, on account of him having fangs and getting Akamaru to piss on things as part of an actual strategy. XD

tsukiyuuki
Do you mean to buy in the US/Canadian market, or the Japanese/Asian market? Or do you mean to download or whatever?

Exactly. I think there have been no less than four of five 'Naruto fillers are ending, zOMG!' rumours since the fillers started. I dunno why anyone really cares, Naruto ceased to be a good show when I realized they were going to go the InuYasha route and have a never-ending series.

what are those marks on naruto's face? wiskers? scars? whatever they are they piss me off to the point where i almost can't watch the show.
tsukiyuuki
It hasn't really been mentioned exactly what they are; most people figure it's because Naruto has the Kyuubi that he has the whisker marks. A by-product of the Kyuubi being sealed inside him, so to speak.

I'm not sure why they'd piss you off, though - they're just part of his character design. Like Sakura's pink hair, or the scar across Iruka's nose. I can't really see what the big deal is about them. *shrug*

If that was true they would have never had the "time-skip" in the manga. Do not judge the anime on what it becomes when it strays from the manga. In my opinion once it strays too far from the manga it is already dead and the rest is just greedy people wanting to milk the corpse of what could've been a great anime.
