Am I the only Naruto fan on CAA?

I wonder this a lot. I can't help it, I actually like the filler! Especially since it often focuses on the minor characters. I don't mind it nearly as much as I did in Bleach, because it doesn't veer off in Shippuden nearly as much as Bleach does.

Where's the options for "I never watched Naruto" and "I read the manga... occasionally"

I fall into I read all of the pre-timskip arc, then read bits and pieces of the post-timeskip, and feel that it's absolutely ridiculous. I've given up at this point.

I've watched a few episodes here and there. I find myself becoming a little more interested in Shippuden because I really like Sai and how his relationship seems to develop with Sakura and Naruto through the time-skip era. I never could stand Sasuke, but now he's pretty intolerable though. :lol:

I read the first few volumes and only watched about 3 episodes. The anime drove me up the wall. It dragged terribly.

I remember when it first when on Toonami, watched one episode and I personally did not like it.

A Naruto game was my gateway into anime, years ago. I was into it for a long time, reading much of the manga and watching a sizable chunk of the anime(s). I read fanfiction and drew fanart.

Buuuut I'm not into it anymore. Not because of any one character or arc, but a bunch of things that eventually made me impatient and apathetic towards the whole story.

I'm a Naruto fan, but really only of the manga and the first half of the series, before the gigantic filler block started, and it switched to shippuuden.

I thought the first series was really good, and actually an improvment over the manga, and they averaged like only 5 episodes per volume of manga, so it wasn't that slow. But then they give us like 2 years of solid filler, and then shippuuden comes along and suddenly the ratio is like 11 episodes per manga volume, and they keep throwing in these long filler arcs all the time ><. And it seems like the animation took a dive too. I'm still watching the show, once a week on crunchyroll, and reading the manga, but I think if I ever watched the anime again, I'd probably skip all the filler except the ones I happened to like, or just stop after the Sasuke retieval arc back in the original series.

Sometimes I wish anime creators could just be patient enough to wait for a manga to be finished before doing an anime. They only end up being this long because the anime has to make stuff up to keep from overtaking the manga author. And for the shows that didn;t follow the manga, they end up going back and making another version thats more faithful (FMA, Hunter X Hunter, etc.)

Yea, it does seem like the Shippuden anime takes it's time. I've only watched a few episodes of it. I'm way more into the manga for shippuden.

Bleach is one of the most annoying animes when it comes to filler. It takes too many breaks out of the main story. Out of the 300 episodes it took to finish the major arc, I bet almost half of them weren't even related or are easily skippable. Even DBZ didn't take that long.

I used to be a legit Narutard. I had a ton of merch and was horridly obsessed with it (ask anyone who knows me well). I haven't watched it in an eternity. I still do like the characters.
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

I was in to Naruto for a while, kind of fell away between all the filler and CN dropping it.

I still follow the manga, but that's just because my library gets Shouen Jump.

It's an okay show, but I can't see how it got so big.
