One of the absolute greatest pieces of fiction I have ever watched - genuinely from the bottom of my heart from the plot to the characters to the emotion to the fights absolutely everything was perfect and was one of the best journeys I’ve ever had - the fights in this were absolutely jaw dropping and nothing will ever top this in fights or choreography for years to come - the story aswell was genuinely so emotional - Naruto is tied with gintoki as one of my all time favourite protagonists and a rare breed that never did a single thing that would annoy me that many characters have failed at - you really just resonate with Naruto so much as a character and it truly makes you route for him - in my opinion this clears of Naruto so easily it’s laughable but obviously to each there own - overal…

One of the best animes oat. A whole generation grew up with Naruto and I am one of them. This anime is close to my heart. I will it with all my heart. The characters are iconic and there are many iconic moments throughout the whole series. The ending is beautiful. Studio Perriot gets a lot of hate for what they did to Tokyo Ghoul and Boruto but they definitely cooked with Naruto. There are filler moments in some episodes but they fit the narrative. For example Shikamaru and Shikaku playing shogi after that major event. The fights are also insane.

My last long-delayed anime. I watched it in 2022 and after 44 ep. put it aside for 4 years, since I thought of a lot of other anime that I wanted to see at that time. But I would still watch it this year, since the last volume of the manga was released only this year.
Naruto is one of the few shonen that I managed to read several times over as a manga during its publication in Czech and always finish it until the last current volume.
Personally, I didn't grow up on it like most, so I don't consider it nostalgia, but I knew about its existence, mainly through AMV on YouTube and when I got to it I was already at an age where I no longer belong to the shonen group, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
There were parts in the story that I liked, but also those that I deliberately skipped, (mainly len…

Naruto Shippuden is one of those anime that I can't judge without letting nostalgia interfere, and honestly, I don't even want to. I spent way too much time with these characters for them not to become important to me. Watching Naruto grow from the annoying kid everyone underestimated into someone capable of carrying the hopes of an entire world was genuinely satisfying.
Of course, the anime has its problems. The pacing can be absolutely painful, there are fillers that test your patience and the war arc sometimes feels like it simply refuses to end. But when Shippuden is good, it is REALLY good. The Akatsuki, Pain, Itachi, Jiraiya and so many other characters gave us some of the most memorable moments in anime for me.
And let's be honest, there is something special about an anime you grow…

Coming from Naruto and the way it ended, I had some hopes for the next major part, Shippuden. If I had to describe it briefly, it has much higher highs than OG Naruto but also had lower lows than it as well.
To start with the characters, it was a bit of a downgrade for me. Some of the main cast I still enjoyed, Naruto and Sasuke were good. Kakashi got much more development here, and I loved it. Other characters like Jiraiya and Tsunade were also still great. So what was my issue here?
The side characters were completely washed away and felt like the side characters that did have screen time in the OG Naruto were just sidelined. To give two examples, Neji and Lee were just blank here. There are many more instances of side characters being boring and just being a major downgrade, especial…

Naruto Shippuden is the best anime ever,its above even on Naruto the classic since it has 500 episodes there are many memorable fights in it,here Naruto develops and grows much stronger than in the original series,and in Shippuden are fights like,Naruto vs Pain (my favorite),Itachi vs Sasuke,Madara against the allied shinobi forces etc.
The animations is great somehow,i mean there are some parts where the animation is off but even with those animation mistakes is still a great memorable anime from my pov.
The story,i cant talk more about it,its just GREAT,it has backstory's,every backstory makes you fall in love with that character,and the Akatsuki organization,i cant lie but is the best villain organization from all anime and you cant argue with me with that,just accept the reality lol.…

Uh, I don't even even know where to start. Honestly, I’ve never seen a more beautiful anime in my entire life. I just know that Naruto Shippuden is gonna stay in my heart as my absolute favorite forever. I’m already so hyped to start Boruto because I just need to see how everyone’s lives keep developing.
Shippuden hit me so hard emotionally that I can’t even put into words how I feel right now. If I had to break it down, I was basically crying 80% of the time, laughing 15%, and the other 5% I was just straight-up mad at Sasuke (sorry not sorry, lol).
I haven’t read the manga, but I’m actually so glad I watched some of the filler episodes, especially the Kakashi and Itachi backstories. They helped me understand the world so much more. Though it kinda sucks that they skipped one super impo…

i remember watching this as a kid and also the first naruto anime i have many memories of talking about it with my friends and doing the jutsu hand signs with them absolute peak cinema
i think everyone should watch this show atleast once in their life and especially if they have children they should show them this series it would benefit morals and development of their kids for sure while being one of the best stories ever made with the art on point
but watching it as a bit older some of the characters can get very annoying and a bit corny

Man… Naruto Shippuden is such a rollercoaster. I’d give it an 8/10 — it’s amazing in so many ways, but there are definitely parts that make you groan, especially the fillers. Let me tell you, the main story? Absolutely insane. Naruto coming back after training, finally starting to take on the Akatsuki, the war arc, all those big emotional battles — it’s epic. Some fights legit give you goosebumps. Naruto vs Pain? Legendary. Kakashi vs Obito? Heartbreaking. Even smaller team fights can hit hard emotionally because you actually care about the people on the field.
But then… filler. Oh boy. The filler arcs drag SO. MUCH. Sometimes you’ll be in the middle of a hype arc, expecting the next battle, and then boom — a whole arc about some random village mission or Naruto helping a kid find their l…

Naruto is one of those unique anime you don't really find elsewhere, it's combination of ancient Japanese history, ninja etc is a masterclass in itself. What started off as a story if a kid with aspirations to become hokage ended up shaping and entire world - even though it's over 700 episodes, near all characters have enough breathing room.
The MC himself? Man it makes me feel nostalgic at how far he's come which sometimes makes me reflect on myself.And while it has a bunch of filler, it's still nonetheless a great anime I'll fondly look back on and rewatch.
What even are you doing with your life if you haven't watched Naruto? You're missing out.

I'll keep this short and sweet.
Loved Naruto back in the mid 2000s when it was hot on Toonami. Decided to pick it back up when Crunchyroll and Funimation were two separate streaming services. Managed to get through the first Naruto series, but man... after so much hype from streamers, word of mouth, and the blatant popularity backing this show, I should have been entertained, not bored stiff waiting for the story to pick up. I love a good time skip story, especially with a roster of amazing characters, but thats the major downfall. The character writing for this show is downright rushed and might as well be nonexistent with the female characters. There is an insane amount of filler and flashback that comes off as unnecessary, but the average normie would tell you that its "character deve…

Naruto Shippuden, being one of the big three, is not so good yet not so bad. It has some good sides and bad sides too, so I can't tell it a 'must watch anime' like most people do. Here's a breakdown:
Good sides:
1. It contains flashy action, especially Naruto vs. Sasuke fight, which makes this incredible.
2. Good Character development, many characters has grown better than the original series.
3. The backstories of the characters will make you cry, especially Naruto's parents and pain's backstory.
4. The animation is also good, compared to the era.
5. Naruto has the best opening songs of all time, you must check them out.
Bad sides:
1. The female characters is the biggest problem that was disturbing me. While other anime especially modern anime respects women and make them as strong as…

I remember watching this when i was 6 years old with my older cousins right after watching shonen jump, and it really lives up to its predecessor i what really got me was the ninjas and the jutsu's and chakra. My favorite thing abt it is the shargingan and the whole lore behind the uchiha clan. I've been a fan for over 12 years and this is one of the main animes that got me into anime. The plot and story are so interesting and unique along with the dynamics there are so many characters but they are so easy to differentiate all of the abilities are also unique. Out of the the big three its my favorite, but i just might be biased for it. The only bad thing is the filler and that is all the studio's fault for doing that. I plan on reading the manga to get the full raw experience overall this…

Shippuden fails in everyhing Part 1 did right; most characters have no purpourse, no new clan is presented, most hand signs are gone, the story is contradictory and Orochimaru is now fodder.
The part where Shippuden excels at are the villains and the fights. The Akatsuki is one of the best and most copied concepts in anime; Danzou has extremely interesting story and powers; and Shikamaru’s arc is very beautiful and well done.
Itachi and Pain's simultaneous arc single handedly carries Shippuden. The story, character development and fights in these 2 arcs are top-notch and rival with the best arcs in Part 1. Too bad the ending of the pain arc sucked.
Naruto Shippuden is an enjoyable show with amazing fights and villans, but with countless holes, and most plot point and characters feel was…

I have to say, when you strip away the fillers Naruto Shippuuden becomes quite a great work!
While it is not without its flaws (mainly how Kishimoto writes women and how the "final boss" is introduced way too abruptly), Naruto Shippuuden is a story that makes you FEEL about its characters. Most characters are relatable with clearly defined objectives/strengths/weaknesses, and its very enjoyable to see Naruto both grow as a person and as a ninja while his journey progresses.
As stated previously, the main drawback of Naruto Shippuuden (as with the base Naruto anime) is its fillers, and to a lesser extent its flashbacks (how many time do we have to see Ob*** being late to his academy orientation ceremony??). However while this issue takes away from the Naruto Shippuuden experience, it is e…

Immaculate vibes, childhood anime that grows up with you. At any point of your life it has a different reading key.
It has a little bit of everything and it's well done, great villains compared to other shonens, great depht. The end it's a lot of fanservice and many people don't like it but i personally don't mind it, it's not that serious. Note: LOTS of fillers and aren't exactly light and fun to watch, you can just skip it and go back to them when you'll crave more naruto in your life.
I've said enough this review that forces me to keep writing is dumb, let me just post ittttttttttttttttttttttttt. Do you guys know if there's a more normal website that works like this one? thxs

so im kinda baised towards naruto since it was my first real anime, and was that anime that got me into the culture.
Sasuke one of my fav characters in anime, i love the story and the designs, the villians are one of my favs in anime as well.
The fights are so good and badass, if you just started watching anime, pls watch naruto IT will get you hooked.
BUT..., the pacing issss kinda poor, This isn't about the filler arcs. While they certainly did contribute to the poor pacing, they could be skipped by viewers who weren't vibing with them. No, the real problem is the pacing within the actual canon material.
It's common for fights to be interrupted by flashbacks. This is fine when it's new material that's related to the conflict at hand. It's not fine when it's the same information that we…

I've watched first 15 episodes of Shippuden like 4 years ago and then 20 days ago I've determined that I will watch the whole shippuden while skipping fillers.
Naruto Shippuden is in my opinion generally underrated anime, I mean story is very simple to follow and characters are kinda well written. Visuals are good, but fighting scenes are in my opinion amazing, also all different powers you have in this anime are really interesting and well thought of. I can't speak about quality of the filler episodes because I didn't watch them.
In general this is really fun anime to watch.

Its a great and amazing story to be seen. An outstanding feeling to view the characters, their lives, emotions, decisions, etc. The whole story as suggested, revolves around the main character Naruto. Shippuden means hurricane, that symbolizes the strength Naruto gains over the years of training. He is supported various friends, teachers and other characters who are even strangers to him. Being an underdog in the early years, desperate to be recognized, works harder than anyone. Due to certain internal powers, he creates magic every time, he is tested. By deeds, he shows the others the way to be chosen i.e., not by tradition, etc. but by your heart. Even the psychology behind the friends' behavior, enemy behaviors are explained in such a simple and emotional manner that you also believe th…

Naruto: Shippuuden – Spoiler-Free Review
Visuals (Animation & Art): 7/10
The visuals throughout the series are hit-and-miss. At their best, they’re unbelievable; at their worst… not so much. But given the show’s massive runtime, that inconsistency is expected. Still, some of the fight choreography and action sequences stand out as some of my favourites in all of anime.
Sound & Music: 10/10
Naruto absolutely nails it here. From iconic OPs and EDs to background tracks that still give me chills, the soundtrack is unforgettable. The ambience sets the tone perfectly, and the nostalgia only amplifies its impact. A perfect score in this category.
Story & Writing: 6/10
Setting aside the plague of filler episodes, the story does what you’d expect from a shounen: it entertains, keeps you invested…
