First, when you get to the fillers in Naruto (about ep 100 i believe...its the tea country arc) STOP. Either completely stop watching and wait about a month for the series to get back on track or go read the manga. If you've just gottne into anime, i'd suggest waiting and watching the series instead of reading the manga. If you watch the god awful fillers, you will undoubtedly hate naruto and it will ruin what should be an awesome upcomming arc.

As for subbed being better then the english version, its mainly cuz dubbed versions are almost always bad. No matter how hard they try, the english VA's (voice actors) can't really portray the character as well as the original japanese VA's. Not that it isn't possible, but there seems to be some unwritten rule that says all english VA's must ruin a series as much as possible.

Also, due to cultural differences, sometimes the companies (like funimation...the evil, evil funimation) will edit out the violence/nudity/other "inappropiate" material which makes the series what it is. They try to cater to a younger crown, even if the series is meant for an older audiance. So by watching the dub, you're not really getting the full experience. Its like choosing to watch a Cam rip of LOTR instead of going to the theaters and getting the full experience.

well thats enough talking for now...heed my warnings, and you shall do well.
