Is it worth watching the naruto fillers?

Question

I'm a about half way through them, so far they are pretty good. But, I am really looking forward to watching Shippoden. Should I wait the fillers out, or skip ahead?

Answer 1

in my opinion, not really... some fillers are entertaining simply because of how stupid or creepy or random they are... like the one titled "shino laughs"... i mean, it is way hard to picture that... besides, after you have caught up with shippuden, you can always go back and watch the episodes you skipped. i was way desperated to get to shippuden, but i had to watch all the rest of the naruto episodes just because there was a slight chance that sasuke might show up... which was disappointing because he only shows up for like 6 seconds in episode 170, and naruto doesn't even see him... so you should probably just skip to shippuden, and then if you want, you can just go back.

Answer 2

Personally, I skipped a little over 1/3 of them. They were much better in the beginning and after a while when you're soooooooo looking forward to Shippuden (I watched the fillers as they were being made and nobody knew when Part 2 was going to start) the fillers eventually start to wear on you. Eventually they're all basically the same story just retold in different ways. The animation also deteroriated. I'm on a popular Naruto forum quite often to get the newest magna chapter and most of the people there skipped a good deal of them too.

Answer 3

all of the naruto fillers introduces a character with a sad backstory and then the other characters help them out, or some of them are just funny. The fillers are actually great, but because they nearly dominate Naruto, it gets annoying. But a lot of the shippuden fillers are just random flashbacks, so skip those

Answer 4

Well, some filler arcs have secondary character development, like the Bikouchuu or whatever thing where Hinata uses that really cool jutsu and Naruto sees her naked (which really is beside the point but...), but other than that, they really don't affect Shippuuden at all. I would say watch some, like the "Shino Laughs" thing, because some of them are funny, but others are just a pain in the butt to watch, because they drag on forever (hey, just like the series! but we love it so...).

So...hmm...most of the filler arcs/eps are fine to watch, but you'll find yourself stopping by the download page and staring longingly at Shippuuden and thinking, "I wish these fillers would end!"

Answer 5

i've got watched all of them and that i inform you, there have been some aspects that have been boring. i think of that the Shiitenshounin arc which replaced into the arc in the previous Naruto area 2 replaced into the finest as a results of fact I have been given a very sturdy view on how lots Naruto replaced Gaara. i think of it incredibly is the only filler arc which you will atleast get a top at

Answer 6

Some are really funny, especially when Naruto, sasuke and Sakura try to find out what is underneath Kakashi's mask. meanwhile, 3 ninjas, bent on revenge, come into town.

You don't have to know crap about naruto in general to laugh at that episode

Answer 7

no its not worth watching the fillers after the sasuke rescue arc.

i watched shippuuden and the fillers didnt affect the series.

Answer 8

i would skip a few fillers but don't skip too much. even though skipping them would not affect shippuuden.

Answer 9

This topic is worth more attention

Answer 10
