Too much of everything

Disturbing yet enthralling

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

An absolute masterpiece for the very first episode of the initial series Shippuden and its later setting is one of the ways the "brand" has had such a period of success giving compelling characters and arcs as well as showing perfectly the growth of many of the individuals that create the cast. For all it's flaws (particularly related to pacing and filler) there's a thousand reasons which solidify the shows status as a deserving modern classic amongst the greatest of all time

It would be a shame if you went through life not experiencing this story, especially if you've seen the original Naruto. This is the best storytelling I've ever witnessed. I can think of at least 5 characters, protagonists and antagonists, this series could have been named after. The plot and characters are masterfully interwoven, the rules of the universe are carefully and interestingly imagined, and the social context is the perfect backdrop for the telling of this most human of stories. Beneath the glossy exterior lies an unending series of heart-wrenching tragedies, conveyed by characters you can't help but care for. The plot justifies the hundreds of episodes it takes for the telling (though not nearly the full 500, more on that later). And the show is adequately punctuated with frequent stunning moments (some I can't imagine I will ever forget) such that this very long take never gets boring. Adding to that, the plot slowly, but surely, progresses to increasingly intense crescendos which further prevent monotony, where many other epic stories fail to do the same. And yet it doesn't feel contrived or forced, the story flows very organically and for the most you'll never want it stop watching. I can't recommend this show enough, it's probably the best I've ever seen.As mentioned, there's one possible problem with the show, and that's with filler episodes. From what I've read online, the show frequently caught up to the manga such that they had to slow the show's production down by inserting a lot of filler episodes (something like 40+ percent in fact). Many of these episodes are phenomenal anyway, but many of them are filled with overly sentimental flashbacks and stories unrelated to the main plot and characters that you might or might not care about (and my recommendation is that you use the characters they concern to decide if you should watch them or not). There are easy-to-find online resources you can use to find out which episodes are filler (as opposed to canon, or those that were actually printed in the manga), as well as lists suggesting which filler episodes are worth watching. I haven't skipped very many, but there are a few I passed by.If you have the time, do yourself a favor and watch this show, but start with the original Naruto for the best experience (and possibly skip all the filler there, which can be quite bad).

Naruto, or Naruto shippuden. The whole story taught me so many lessons for life. This series got everything inclusive. Epic fights with insane strategies, combos and designs. The creation of so many different characters with different abilities. Heartbreaking moments. Also comedy is found in this story line. Don't judge the series only by its Filler episodes, you can easily skip them. Everything else is a 10 outta 10. Amazing plot twists. Watch this series without spoilers. İts difficult by this long story line, but every second worth. Evolutions of so many characters, getting there history to know. Also the openings or the backgroundmusic. Don't miss this anime.Even though the full story (incl. Naruto classic) has got over 700 episodes, İ wish there was a way to continue it. But sadly the breathtaking series got its end. Im not so excited about the next generation boruto, too much things have been changed but even though, for the sake of Naruto and the will of fire İ have to watch this too.

i love noruto, i was a die-hard fan go onThis is one of the best anime I have seen so far. The plot is brilliant like the previous one. The animation is much better than the previous one and the dialogues are simply amazing. The battle scenes and the way Naruto and the rest come up with tactics are marvellous. The new characters are 'awesome'(can't think of a better word). There are loads of emotional moments in this series, some that make you laugh, some that make you angry and some that make you cry.Just watch it if you have watched Naruto because you will miss the best and exiting parts of this anime.There are loads of surprises and loads of excitement waiting for you.On the whole I'd say Naruto: 10/10 Naruto Shippuden: 10/10
