What do U think of the quality of naruto lately

[Kirakun]

sucks.....nuff said


EDIT: P.S. Love the sig Psyke!!

My interest for Naruto is also very low currently. It's always been that way with this show, sometimes you just can't wait for the next episode, and sometimes you have a hard time bringing yourself to see it. As someone already said: it's the effect of fillers.

[Hikyuu]

Naruto is definitely low on my anime priority list... the filler eps just ruin the story for me..

[DeluxSkillz]

yes naruto anime is sucking badly lately, the fillers are the main reason it's like a 3 year old was allowed to write a story and they used that to make the fillers, i haven't even watched the last episode i think i'll start watching when they get back to the original story line it's what every sane naruto fan would do because these fillers are beyond crap i wouldn't even show these to lil kiddies who only watch pokemon because these fillers are even more stupid then all of pokemon, bayblade and yugiooh combined

[The Heretic Azazel]

Wow, that's a bit melodramatic.

Funny enough, I did the exact same thing.
Also, it's seems pretty ironic that the filler only exists so that the anime doesn't lose its fanbase (I still think they should have dropped it for a couple of months), but because it's so bad, it's creating threads like this one. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

i must have rewatched the rock lee - gaara fight (ep 50ish) about 20 times since i first got it. and that hasnt stopped almost 2 years later

[Chibbas]

I agree with everyone !!!
I'm disliking Naruto because this filler realy sucks !!! I even stopped to visit the forum...
Misuki wanting to get acknolegde was the worst thing someone could think and write !!!
The Sasame arc wasn't so bad because I laught a lot when Jiraya summoned Gamakichi and Sakura got scared.
And I don't think the fillers is to keep the anime's fan... For me is the main reason to they stopp watching the anime.
At least I know a lot of people who stopped to watch and isn't only naruto.

[Assertn]

it alternates....every anime has their high and low points

You have 3 posts, I'm sure you had 2 prior to the one I'm quoting. My point is, you haven't made an impact on the forums for anyone to realize that you've stop visiting. So become a regular.

Well, looking at all the episodes of Naruto so far, it's an excellent show. But there's only one episode a week, and looking at fillers for like 2 months straight now has really dropped my interest. Though even after the fillers will be gone, there doesn't seem to be anything interesting going in the (real) story, before it's always kept me psyched up waiting for the next (real) episode. Will see if Naruto is ale to return that mood quickly enough when the next arc begins.

The anime has gone downhill thats for sure. I'm actually one of the few who aren't impatient about AONE's slow subbing because I'm sure by the time they catch up the anime would be back on the storyline once again. As far as the show like VA and Art and so on. It's okay. I'm not that nitpickey about those things. I mean unless it is really that bad its obvious you won't see me complaining about the art of it.

[masamuneehs]

The filler sucks, as anyone with even a shread of taste can tell for themselves.

But I was also quite disappointed by the end of the last arc from the manga. The entire final showdown with Naruto and Sasuke was too broken up by flashbacks for me to really enjoy, and it ended in a Dragonball Z esque "My special energy attack vs. you special energy attack" clash that I found quite anti-climactic. The flashbacks themselves were good and showed alot about Sasuke, but I felt like they were sometimes repetitive and were clumped together too much. I'd have liked to see them played out over time or even earlier, when Sasuke makes the decision to leave Konoha.

oh well, I complain about everything...

[Naruto_Fan]

yea i agree...
naruto is becoming the dbz of this generation. it seems to drag out things like past sequencs and dramatic thinking sequences way too long and always end battles in pretty much the same way. it's like a routine that has been going on for way too long..

i hope the anime starts getting a lot better..

[Deckz]

yeh...i used to not be able to wait for the next episode every week, but starting from the "chasing sasuke" saga, the "Naruto" feeling started to gradually wear off...now i dunno really giv a flying f about atm for both the anime "and" manga

the really great naruto times was probaly the chunnin exam & and Sand/Sound's attempted invasion over Konoha and these 2 sagas was one right after the next...

...ahhhh....the good times.... =p

Since you mentioned it, I started doing it too, and you know, although the quality of the fights has gotten better, with most of the "chasing sasuke" fights being the best in the series, I really think that the storytelling has never been higher since way back in the Zabuza arc. That story really does have an emotional impact that, while existing in later arcs, seems to get less and less with each new story.

At this point, I'm starting to think Kishimoto maybe should think about getting away from Naruto's character, that, or having some new badguys with some real depth to them.

[ChiaCheese]

if memory serves me correctly (which sometimes it doesn't), filler is what killed the rurouni kenshin tv series before its time. But that's what happens. They produce the anime so quickly it catches up to the manga and they have to start putting filler in til the manga can build up a bit of a buffer again. Just ride it out. With all the build up, there's inevitably some great stuff to come.

[DarthEnderX]

Unless, like you just mentioned, the filler blows so much dick that the series gets cancelled and we don't get to see whatever good stuff might be coming.

Atm the quality is really really bad. I don't read the manga, but I know from ppl saying how awesome it is and just because I trust that it will be awesome, the next arc is hopefully gonna be amazing. Lots of ppl said they stopped after chouji in the last arc, but I think the whole sasuke chase was one of the best things in naruto. It was when the whole thing started to go serious, shows a sense of maturity in all the genin.. makes it seem like they're all growing up and starting to understand how serious missions really are. Then Sasuke vs Naruto, well 133 was just the best episode ever. So having filler directly after such an amazing episode... This is my theory into why everyone.. REALLY.. hates the filler atm. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if naruto hadn't gotten so interesting all of a sudden. When I think about it, the Orochimaru castle filler wasn't that bad. The animation was pretty good towards the later episodes. They could have done so much with the Butterfly girl thing, that was an interesting idea. however the stupid brothers and Mitzki, really is just the worst thing ever.
But when the next arc starts we can all just delete these filler and forget about them completely. It's a pity they added stuff that wasn't filler into them unlike the tea saga, because then you really could just delete them and no one would ever notice if you showed it to someone new.

Exactly. They should just go back to Russia.

I stopped watching the filler after the first stupid brother episode. I now refuse to aknowledge they exist [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
