Naruto Shippuden

I started watching Naruto since I was little, and in my eyes it will always be THE BEST ANIME EVER. Naruto Shippuden is even better. It has everything incorporated in it. Starting with comedy. Naruto always makes me laugh. There is also action, tension and even romance. It just keeps you watching, it's like you can't stop. I like Naruto so much as a character because he never gives up,and he is my role model for everything I do. There is so much I could say, but this is enough. XD ;D <333 http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/11700000/Naruto-Uzumaki-naruto-11778402-1024-768.jpg

Naruto has hands down been my favorite anime since its anime release. All the character depth and story depth is perfect. You can't help but laugh, cry, and love this anime...or at least I can't. I've been told by multiple people that it's a "kids anime" and that I'm immature for loving it. I stand strong for my love of it and for the anime itself. There is nothing childish about a character growing on his own from becoming someone you despise to someone you praise. His impact on the world is beautiful. Truly the light of a dark dark world.

You do have to have a great deal of patience for this anime though. But once you absorb the characters and the story itself you dont really mind it. You appreciate everything you see and love it nonetheless.

Naruto in general is amazing and as I'm a lot older than when I first started watching, I'm happy that the shows characters have also aged with Naruto Shippuden. It's honestly a show I think I could watch for the rest of my life, if they continue producing it.

Sometimes the music, drawing and fillers drive you a little crazy, but honestly with so many episodes and characters you can't expect to like everything.

A lot of people say not to watch because of the fillers. Er, hello! It's better then nothing? They're only doing it to give their fans something while more of the manga gets released. Even though I don't particularly enjoy the amount of fillers there are sometimes, I do appreciate that they create them instead of just saying 'no naruto for four weeks' or something.

I loved this show when it first started up. I guess that was the original Naruto. Interesting characters, interesting world, and really fun fights. Then it got the same disease most anime's get when they're running concurrent with a manga: "uh-oh, we caught up with the manga. I guess we'll do some filler episodes." BLEHH! I find the filler episodes repulsive. And I'm extremely angry with the creators. It is irresponsible to do what they've done: they started a good story, got me invested, and them milked it till there was nothing but blood and ashes coming out of the udders, then tried to milk it some more. The story is needlessly drawn out with pointless power creep and pointless battles.

"Oh, look, a new enemy, hah, I can beat you with my new powers"
"No, I'm even more powerful than you thought"
"Haha, but I'm ALSO even more powerful."
"But now I'm even MORE powerful"
"Oh god just shoot me now"
"NO! I will repeat this formula for the next fifty thousand episodes"
"WAAAAAAAA my level of bordom and irritation, IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!1"
"Blarg one of us is finally defeated."
"Ok, now lets become best friends because your really just misunderstood, as explained in the obligatory series of flashbacks before your final power up."

Vomit.

So. Starts off with interesting characters, cool power system, fun fights, even a pretty good story, and very good animation. Makes you invested in it, makes you want to know how it will all shake out in the end.

Then holds you down and poops in your mouth.

Also often even the non-filler episodes are filled with filler as they desperately try to not catch up to the manga so quickly.

If you want a tight story, go somewhere else.
If you've got 300 hours to burn, come here.
I got fed up and switched to the manga, which I check a few times a year to see if the dude has finished it yet. It's still horribly cliche'd and repetitive. But no filler at least. Just cliche'd fight after cliche'd fight. Very well drawn. And somehow, despite it all, I still check in occasionally to see if there's an ending. If that isn't an endorsement for the compelling story, I don't know what is.

In summative statement: A few nuggets of gold so awesome that your willing to eat the pile of excrement they are incased in to get to them.

If I could go back in time, I would warn myself emphatically to never read or watch any of it. That it would be like a horrible drug. Meth maybe. So addictive that, despite the obvious serious negative effects it has on you, you just can't stop.

I Love This Anime.. I've Kept Up With It Since The Very First Episode.. The Story Has Become More Developed, The Characters Have Overcome Both Internal And External Struggles.. It's Great That The Creators Have Maintained Such Ingenuity And Imagination To Maintain Our Attention Thru 285+ Episodes.. The Fillers Can Be A Little Bothersome, What With So Much Anticipation, But Then Again It's Nice To Relive A Moment We've Seen, Or Never Seen, As It Adds To The Complexity Of Each Characters Role With Our Main Hero Naruto.. I Can't Wait Til Sasuke Is Reintroduced Into The Action, And How That Will Affect This War.
