Jesus Christ. How muc filler did Naruto have?

>>153447143
>>153447143
They had entire seasons worth of filler if I recall. Especially when Shippuden first started.

The original show was like 1/3rd filler. I wouldn't be surprised if Shippuden was like 60% or more though

>>153447314
They TV studio is paying them to continue making more Naruto Shippuuden filler even though the manga has ended.

They can't just let their cash cow die peacefully.

>>153447143
Both the original and shippuden are around 45% filler

Great tea race was the best.

Shippuden episode 409, it was part of the Chuunin Exam arc hosted in the Sand Village that explained how all the Leaf ninja ranked up while Naruto was away training with Jiraiya.

>>153448153
Holy shit.

>>153447143
It was my favorite anime once upon a time, but "Filler hell" was enough for me to utterly drop it and never take a single look at Shippuden. After a while watching it felt like a chore rather than fun.

Maybe I should pick shippuden up.... maybe.

One of the animators probably ran across some footage of Turbo Teen and decided to incorporate it into the Mecha Naruto episode.

And it became a playable character in ultimate storm.

Is this thread about stuff that has been introduced (early), but dropped hard immediately after for whatever reason?

If it was just a filler episode here and there that you could skip itd be fine, but since the episodes themselves are filled with looong dragged out scenes that take 2 seconds to read in manga but take 5 minutes in anime its pretty unwatchable.

Kakashi's copy ability.

But the filler is what makes the anime interesting, where Kishimoto spent 2 seconds on something that needed 5 minutes.

Fighting destiny

>>153452028
Well to be fair, most of the shit later on either costed huge amounts of chakra or was a kekkei genkai which he can't copy.

>>153447767
which one did it worse?

Naruto basically ended on a cliffhanger and then it was nearly 2 episodes of straight filler. When I first noticed the series, it was during this time period and everyone seemed to be referring to it as filler hell.

Shippuden had a filler arc after every 1 or 2 arcs and then started putting it in the middle of the war arc due to it being so fucking long and the ending of the series. Plus they were also doing filler well after the manga ended AND there was plenty of material to animate, only some of which they've done and announced thus far.
