i'd like to offer the perhaps controversial suggestion that naruto is, in fact, good and as we know, anime is good, so therefore naruto anime must be good. QED

If there was a Naruto Shippuden Kai that dropped all the filler (and I mean ALL of it), it would be pretty good. I think that's why people were recommending the recent video game?

JazzFlight posted:The second PS3 game (Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2) covers the start of Shippuden all the way through the end of the Pain arc and cuts out any story filler (aside from natural video-game filler like fetch quests and crap). That's arguably the only part of the series that has a good plot anyway. Which is the one with Robo Naruto?

Just something to put out to add a few characters that weren't in the last game but without having enough progression in the show to make a game with a full story adaptation. They had a similar filler between games 2 and 3 called Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations. ...and of course I bought all of them, wanna fight about it?

I just went to Mecha-Naruto's Narutowiki page and found out that Orochimaru created it. I bet in this world Orochimaru also invented the laptops and skyscrapers. He's ninja Steve Jobs.

Since last post and now there have been a few filler episodes and Guy opening up all the gates!  That poo poo was loving awesome, and now we are nearing the back end of the final arc. Next week is a filler ep though so they are really padding this poo poo out.

Eh, after all this time, only the tail end of the Gates bit seemed all that well done---I was expecting more of a dramatic, one at a time buildup in the first place as opposed to just starting at 7 with relatively little fanfare. That said, the finale of it this episode was awesome enough to pretty well carry the rest!

JazzFlight posted:I just feel like watching the canon content drip out like this in-between long flashbacks of filler material drains all the tension and weight of major fight scenes. Every few weeks you have to think back and say, "Wait, what's going on? Where are we in this fight?" I didn't really feel anything from Guy's attack, especially knowing that it certainly wouldn't do anything to Madara. Unfortunately, the show is popular and they seem to want to drag it out as long as possible, hence the reason why we're still getting filler long after the manga is over. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to make a sequel series afterward without much involvement from its creator similar to what they did with Dragon Ball way back when. Granted, GT was terrible but I doubt that'd stop them from trying. Larryb fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jul 31, 2015 |

I'm like 80% sure the big announcement they are making before the Boruto Movie launches is that they are going to be making a full time Boruto anime with maybe some story outlines from Kishimoto. Kinda like what Toriyama is doing with Super.

426 is out, the infinite tsukoyomi has started, and indeed were getting filler. Well, at least the next episode looks like it'll be a tenten episode.

While a filler arc, today's episodes were actually kind of neat in that they revolved around Tenten being trapped in the world from the Road To Ninja movie, this time including alternate versions of Naruto/Menma and Sakura as well. Is this the first time one of the Naruto movies was actually referenced in the series? We'll probably be getting these little dream episodes for a while at least, next up seems to be a Killer Bee focused arc. Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Sep 3, 2015 |

The killer bee fillers were fun. Those were worth watching. But now poo poo is going downhill fast. Just saw 431, which was loving horrible. It's karins whole backstory, where she gets bit by hurt ninjas, and then screaming loudly over and over and over and over and over and over again. I watched the whole ep at like 20% volume because most of it is karin screaming. Not really sure how that was her infinite tsukoyomi dream. And from the preview, the next couple of episodes are going to be a loving recap. It was all old footage from the loving start of naruto. I guess all the animators are on vacation or something.

drat, I was just about to do a lazy Saturday marathon catch up having left off at about episode 426, when I realized we were still in filler at episode 453. Anyone watch the recent Tsunade Dream World Arc that just ended? I read a little bit of it and it sounded like it might've been halfway decent. I need to find some other anime to watch. A friend recommended the following: One Punch Man Tokyo Ghoul Blue Exorcist 7 Deadly Sins Gangsta These any good? -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Mar 20, 2016 |

One Punch Man is fantastic, the rest is optional depending on taste. Tokyo Ghoul (IMO) Sucks, Gangsta is good for like 4 episodes, 7 Deadly Sins is alright if you like shonen, never watched Blue Exorcist.

Cool thanks, guys Also, I just wanted to say that I agree with a lot of other folks that the Pain arc feels like the best natural ending to the show for a lot of reasons: We get what is probably the definitive discussion on one of the major themes in the show; how to avoid conflict given individual human being's inability to understand one another. Naruto and Pain's debate on this, both on the battlefield and in the cave, is for me, some of the best writing on the show. We get the student succeeding the master. And we finally get the town accepting Naruto. When it all came together like that it really felt like the perfect ending.

So for a change i checked the naruto anime to check if fillertown was over yet. And it was, well 458 starts with 1/3rd of sasuke recap, but then actually goes back into canon. Kaguya actually shows up at the end of the ep. Next episode preview looks like canon as well. Might we be getting to the end of the naruto anime finally?

Remember how i speculated we might get into canon until the end of the anime series? Man was i foolish. 460 was the start of an arc about kaguya's history. It's not really filler as its backstory we never had in the manga, but it ain't canon either. Are they trying to stretch shippuden to 500 eps or something? If so this will be horrible since i think theres probably less then 10 canon eps left.

Kaguya's complete lack of backstory prior to arriving on the ninja planet in the manga was one of the big problems with her (though I haven't seen The Last or Boruto yet; maybe she gets some backstory there?) Edit: Started watching the episode, and so far it amounts to "Kaguya never talked much and there was always war." The most notable thing about it is that it shows Naruto's world before Kaguya arrived as relatively technologically primitive, instead of going with crazy fan ideas about how the Naruto world is our own world millenia in the future or something like that.

They are probably gonna try and stretch this series until they can get the Boruto manga(if that does well anyway, it probably won't...) in the same time slot.

More thoughts on the episode: The backstory does at least justify actually calling her Kaguya, as opposed to the Kaguya in the manga, who's really just Eve. In the manga the only connection was being a rabbitty-looking alien (not even from the moon; her son created the moon!). rear end in a top hat rapist villain is super cliched but, weirdly enough, I think this is the first time we've gotten a character like him in Naruto, maybe even in filler. Edit: Finished the episode. While the tragedy is pretty contrived, and Kaguya's lack of emoting doesn't help, I did feel a little sorry for her. The "make war for peace!" stuff makes somewhat more sense if she's personally seen appeasement turning out badly. A few things that confused me (but may make more sense when I see The Last and Boruto): Did Kaguya have chakra from the beginning and just got a lot more powerful when she ate the fruit, or was she used some unrelated telekinetic ability inherent to rabbit aliens? How did she instantly figure out how to perform Infinite Tsukuyomi; is it because the fruit gives full knowledge of how to use chakra along with the chakra itself, or because she already knew about what the fruit's power could do? Why was she able to eat the fruit without being instantly killed by the Ten-Tails the way the humans who tried to eat it were? (Maybe it was emitting a poison that only worked on humans?)

I dared to check upon the naruto anime again, and with episode 468 seems like the extended backstory "filler" arc of kaguya, the rikudou sage, and indra & ashura are over. What was really dumb was that Indra at the rikudou sages deathbed just straight up says "gently caress you dad, if i dont get my way im going to reincarnate until i get what i want. Then Ashura is like well gently caress that poo poo then i will reincarnate as well to stop him. Thats the whole explanation we get. Man if reincarnation was so easy why didnt kaguya just do that? Anyway with that done, the anime could move back into canon and actually get to the finish right? Haha, no of course not. Next week seems to be a straight up rerun of the "whats behind kakashi's mask" episode.

In 473 They did it, they finally beat the rabbit lady Were at chapter 689/700 of the manga now. So close to the ending. Next week looks canon to.

Not sure what they'll do after that though as, unless they adapt the Gaiden chapters, Boruto doesn't have nearly enough material yet to justify starting an anime adaption.

I haven't watched this poo poo in forever, and now that it's actually ending, and I'm a bit bored, I feel like catching up. For some reason. The last episode I have downloaded is 437. The last thing I remember is they're all in the cocoon things in dreamland. Which episodes after that are canon and/or worth watching?

Personally I liked the Itachi adaptation. The two backstories were crap though.
