... if you saw it before the original series?
With the latest incarnation of shit in the form of "Clone Wars" in Shippudden, it is clear that many fans of the original series are dissapointed with what is happening with the anime right now.
To highlight my point, consider the following. We are currently at episode 28 of Shippudden, and essentially still in the first arc. Not that the length of such an arc would be a problem in itself, but in this case it is as a lot of the episodes have been stuffed with fillers. This comes hot on the heels of over one and a half years of Naruto filler.
In comparison, with the original series we were by now in to the second arc (Chunnin exams) which had followed on from the Zabuza & Haku arc. This arc had action, story with depth and kick ass music. We all know what happened in the Chunnin arc so no need to talk about the levels of action there.
So vote and state your opinions. Personally, I wouldn't watch Naruto if Shippudden was introduced to me first.
