I can’t emphasize enough how good the Pain arc is. We’ve got some incredible highlights in this show! The Hidan and Kakazu arc, Sasuke VS Itachi, the entire Pain arc, the Five Kage Summit, Shippuden has some killer arcs! While I still think the original Naruto anime had the strongest arcs in the whole series, the arcs in Shippuden are still really solid. Will Naruto be able to stop them and save his friend? All the while, Sasuke strides further and further down the dark road he has chosen. The Akatsuki are making increasingly bolder moves for the Tailed Beasts, moving closer and closer to their mysterious goal. But things are more dangerous now than ever before. Two years after the end of the original Naruto anime, our young hero returns to the Hidden Leaf Village, rejoining his friends and teammates to resume his work as a ninja and rescue Sasuke. Question is: how does Shippuden stand after all this time? Is it still watchable? Or should you just go read the manga or wait for a potential re-edit, ala DBZ: Kai?
Just a few episodes at a time, putting them on my second monitor while I took care of other things. It is all available to binge at your own discretion, filler and all. Multiple, in fact! If you’ve never been caught up with a show only to end up stuck in filler hell, then I envy you it’s a special kind of torment! At that point, I gave up on the show completely and just read the manga.īut now it’s several years later. Right at the climax, what do we get? A filler arc. Once I was caught up with the show, things got really bad. The further in I got, however, the more glaring these issues became. Back when I first started it all those years ago, I was so enraptured by the story (and so used to skipping filler thanks to the original Naruto show) that I could live with its problems. Naruto: Shippuden is the perfect encapsulation of everything I love and hate about shounen anime all in one package. When I say that, you might assume I’m talking about my first girlfriend. I was part of a very unfair and abusive relationship back in high school.
