Arrgytehpirate posted:Holy gently caress Neji too! Well, at least he got a proper sendoff. He was a major supporting character for the last arc, he got his turn in the spotlight, he influenced the plot in a big way and went down winning a badass fight. They definitely could have handled that worse.

Yeah, I always felt the same way about Kimimaro. We've already seen the whole 'could be a good person but has devoted themselves to an rear end in a top hat' thing.

JazzFlight posted:Naruto (& Shippuden) would make for an excellent series if they revised it down to between 50-100 episodes at the very max. Then it would be worth sharing with people. They could probably cut like 50 episodes off the current count if they just eliminated flashbacks of Itachi's stupid little speech at the massacre.

You can totally just skip episodes 136-220 and go right into Shippuden, by the way. Every single one of those episodes is filler.

I have no idea what episode I'm on. Sakura, Pervy Sage, and Naruto are off looking for Sasuke in the Land of Rice or some poo poo. Also, I only have 15-20 episodes before Netfix is out. Last recap for the day, going out tonight - Oh great, another "I'm a burden no more" speech from Sakura - PERVY SAGE #1 - Ramen guy #2 - Oh, great, Sakura 2.0 has joined the party (SASAMAE?) Bitch even has an S name - PERVY SAGE #1, and 3-20 Arrgytehpirate fucked around with this message at 22:57 on May 13, 2015 |

If that's all Netflix has, then you're good to get out. Any more would just be disappointment. Filler by definition cannot advance the plot and rarely flesh out the characters well, and that's all naruto will be after the rescue sasuke arc until the time skip finally happens.

You're free to watch the fillers if you really want to, just understand that none of them will advance the plot in any way. Naruto spends that entire time stuck in limbo, flinging rasengans at filler villains and failing to find Sasuke. Nothing important changes; nothing of value is lost or gained. Really the only upside of the fillers that comes to mind is that they're your last taste of the golden age of Naruto's peers as meaningful supporting characters. A lot of people say that was one of the best parts about Pt. 1, and once you move on to shippuden, everyone has kind of graduated supporting character school and has gone off to do whatever, which in most cases is 'nothing -- not even anything that you hear about indirectly'. Out of the nine genin not in team 7, only two really get their proper moment. Two more kind of get theirs in that the story pays solemn attention to them on a few occasions, and the other five are nigh totally out of sight and out of mind. Then again, they do get their dues in other, later filler, so hey.

Just to be clear - Naruto is split into two series: Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Naruto ends when sasuke buggers off and Naruto promises to get him back. I think theres like 3 minutes of material in episode 220 that is canon - and its basically pervy sage and Naruto leaving town. Naruto shippuden starts with Naruto coming back after three years of training. The plot advances again. http://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/naruto-shippuden is a list of filler episodes. They're not bad (well maybe? I didn't watch most of them) but they don't advance the plot and you can skip them entirely and still understand whats happening (they change literally nothing, you get maybe one line after a filler arc that you will instantly recognise as 'oh that happened in the filler'). Episode 175 of shippuden is a good place to stop. Kakashi story is episode 119-120 and rules. Although if you get to 175 you will probably want to finish the series. I personally dont think its too bad. MrFlibble fucked around with this message at 00:55 on May 14, 2015 |

Just in case anyone cares, the filler arc that's been going on in Shippuden finally ended and the show will be returning to the main plot next week.

I assume the war ended with no major consequences to the major and minor characters? Or is that what is going to happen when whatever the filler ends? (I haven't watched the show in over a year, as soon as the war was boring me.)

(I haven't watched the show in over a year, as soon as the war was boring me.) Some people died, some more major than others. When the filler ends it'll go back into it, but no one knows if it'll go straight through to the finale.

I think the concept of the Hidden Waterfall Village that Kakazu and Foo came from originated from an anime filler as well (specifically in one of the first OVA's made for the series).

They're really trying to stretch this out as much as possible. I read the manga a bit again, and were halfway through chapter 666 of the manga. Yup halfway. Theres a couple of flashback panels in there, and those are being expanded into entire filler episodes. The good news though, i doubt itll be much more then a couple of episodes of filler, and when thats done were really close to the Madara vs Gai battle
