Have you stopped watching Naruto Shippuden?

Stopped watching Naruto, Bleach & One Piece about a year ago but continue downloading. Hate waiting a week for new episode, so just gonna collect about a year's worth before resuming.

Still watching although im getting more and more annoyed (like many people here) by all the endless flashbacks and filler episodes not to mention the decreasing production value but i find it hard to drop after watching for such a long time. So usually i just skip through the new episodes.

just a fyi.. it's not always the same people who do the animation even for fillers so some arcs/eps it's much better in naruto or bleach.

Man some of ya'll stopped watching a long time ago and have missed some really great episodes especially if you know what was coming from reading the manga.

There aren't always endless flashbacks in every episode.. I think that's being exaggerated a lot. I know there was a span like 3-4 eps lately with a lot of flashbacks but that is not always the case at all.

I don't get how people can just stop watching knowing what's coming up in the manga. I'm a Naruto fan and I watch 'em all. Some eps I skim through if they are filler but the canon stuff I watch it all. I don't get what the point is of stopping half way through just cause of some filler and flashbacks.

Filler is inevitable because they catch up to the manga so there is no choice. Just skip it. It seems some of ya'll don't understand why they do filler and if you haven't watched Naruto in over 9months to a year then honestly you aren't a fan of the series period.

There was filler in the old series.. a lot of it.

Filler arcs also tend to last anywhere from 6months to over a year in Bleach and Naruto. Always. So that shouldn't be anything new. Just look at the wiki pages for ep listings. Also, if you are pretty much a pro manga reader over anime then the reasons you don't watch the series now is pretty much excuses you had made up in your mind a long time ago.

I do both but I want to see the chapters animated so I keep watching.

Whoever said they quit watching back during Chiyo and when Gaara was taken.. you have missed so many good episodes. The whole Sasuke vs Itachi, Pervy Sage vs Pain, Killer Bee vs Sasuke, Hidan vs Kakashi.. subs are much better than dubs as well.

I think the majority of ya'll are just mainly manga readers and never gave the Ship. series a chance or weren't fans in the first place.

I in no way think Naruto is the best series by far and the latest Movie blew balls but I will still watch the series until it is over with. Now Bleach.. that has been boring me for a long time. Ichigo vs Aizen in the last arc was cool to watch and the manga is pretty cool right now with what they are doing so we'll see what happens once this lame filler arc ends.

But don't let some flashbacks and filler be an excuse to quit watching. Any series that lasts this long and catches up to the manga will ALWAYS have filler arcs and there are always flashbacks especially when the filler arcs last a long time.. people tend to forget where the canon left off and they want to remind us.. just sometimes they overdo it.

I watched all the fillers and I actually like them, a lot of my friends stopped watching the anime too and just read the manga but I didn't want to so I just watched all of them some of them are interesting. After a while though it did start to bother me with the amount of fillers their were but I'm still watching them.

myuanime · 11-13-11 at 10:42 AM

Of course I stopped watching. Who can Stand these annoying fillers?

**purehatred** · 11-13-11 at 10:42 PM

Sorry - i am a hardcore Naruto Fan but i can't stand these stupid Fillers...i post naruto episodes in the "anime section" but these fillers are such turn offs that i dont even like posting them anymore

**Drifterx** · 11-13-11 at 10:46 PM

Nah i'm just reading the manga instead.

wisteria · 11-14-11 at 12:39 AM

Yes I've stopped watching it. I rely on reading the Manga instead but it will never be the same when its in action but sometimes it gets so dragging in the videos. And I'm impatient.

duperstar · 11-14-11 at 01:00 AM

I havent watched in a long long time. I am upto date with manga and I am really excited to see all this madara action. Every single time I feel amazed at how much they convey with just black and white lines.

Zero_Desu · 11-14-11 at 03:28 AM

nah imma rewatch it once the filters are finished otherwise ive stopped

Toolman2021 · 11-21-11 at 06:36 PM

**Oamey** · 11-21-11 at 07:25 PM

windheaven · 11-22-11 at 05:40 PM

Manga: hell no

Anime: fillers hell yes, main plot noooo

Scooby_WRX · 11-24-11 at 01:41 PM

yeah.. can't watch the horrible filler anime episodes.. the manga is awesome though so I keep up to date with that. the fight scenes aren't as awesome when on paper though of course, so I go back when the fillers end and watch.
