   I agree Narutard. Ive just been reading Manga so long, i might not even go back to watching the anime. These fillers are cheapening it so much, they are losing so many fans. I dont think theyve ever been smart with this.

   Fans should dump the anime and switch to manga. The anime has some good stuff, but mostly at the beginning of this neverending nightmare.

   Eh. This recent arc isn’t too bad–haven’t seen today’s episode yet, though. I’m still holding out that the fillers will end when the new season starts. I want my chibi Kakashi! -shakes fist-

   well they cant let the anime catch up with the manga or else they’ll prolly have to end the anime series soon so i think fillers are better than no anime at all

    But for a whole year of fillers? The Kakashi Gaiden was good for two, three episodes. The arc with Suna could easily last for half a season, if not more. They could have started the anime back up after the first filler season ended. >_> But.. meh. It’s up to the animation studios, not us.

    well.. yeah right, “a little more patience”… but we’ve been saying this through the whole year of fillers… I mean, oh come on.. it’s very tiring ya know…

    Fillers have caused the suicides of 546.5 naruto fans within the past year.

    How many more lives will they take

    man forget the problem u all should be happy that there giving naruto some fillers are fun to watch anyways the point is u have to have patience.if naruto is losing fans is because there to retarded to wait until the fillers end. naruto will always be the best anime.

17. Rashka Says:

    The fillers are there to entertain. They aren’t doing the job.

    For the most part, they aren’t fun to watch; enough people can tell you that.

    If you’re going to rag on those of us who are getting sick of the stupid plots and oneshot episodes.. Honey? It’s they’re, as in “they are”. Not there, as in “over there”. And too.

    And it was the best. Before the fillers.

    lol, i bet you that everyone that isnt watching the fillers will still come back once kakashi gaiden comes on :p and i bet they will all say they stayed faithful and watched all the fillers etc…

20. kakkouii Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 2:13 am

    i know i won’t say ‘i stayed faithful and watched the fillers’ i refuse to keep watching them, because to complain about the fillers and still watch them makes people look like tools, no1 is forcing them down our throats. They’ve managed to tarnish a good series, and i just hope they end sooner rather than later because from the quality of the fillers i have seen, which were quite a few makes me think that the studio is using monkeys to write their storylines and do their animating for them Zzz

21. Rin-chan Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 2:26 am

    Totally agree with you there, kakkouii. I can safely say that I have stopped watching them, because they have gotten…scarier. They can’t blame me when the Kakashi Gaiden comes on.

22. UcHiHa iTaChI Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 3:52 am

    We just need to wait. If the filler end then the anime will quickly catch up with the manga. If you all want to complain, you only can say that the manga is very slow. They should come out 2 or 3 chapter per week. Then there will be no more filler. Masashi Kishimoto you just have to stop thinking of making money and think about the NARUTO FANS.

23. Uchiha Andre Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 3:57 am

    Eh, those who left probably weren’t that into the anime in the first place. And if the episodes pass the manga like said earlier, then no more anime. Fillers arnt that good, we all know that, but not all of them were hoplessly boring. The wait will be worth it im sure

24. Ninja123 Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 5:24 am

    Does anyone know when the fillers stop??

25. Scarecrow Ninja Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 5:35 am

    Just Seen the new episode this is actually becaoming a pretty good story arc and my Gurl Hinata is stepping out answerinng questions and all that im proud of her

26. Hidan Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 6:08 am

    The ANBU team, is the team that watching Sarutobi’s dead !! :O

27. TheOne Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 6:43 am

    for all that are crying about fillers….CRY MORE. there is such a thing called character development and some of these fillers provide just that. I am sure that some of you can just accept things at face value (sleeps) but there are those who want to know why things happen. For shame good sir for shame

28. Uchiha Itachi Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 6:59 am

    Theone, I didn’t see any charachter development besides Hinata’s. And the fillers aren’t for charachter development. We know for what they are.

29. Scarecrow Ninja Says:

    Shikamaru the new Comic is funny as hell shawty please more just like that

30. Kibate Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 8:30 am

    It’s just that, that there is no need to do fillers NOW! Instead of pulling 100 episodes of fillers right now, why not do like 30 now, 30 after the first new arc and 30 after the second arc and so on. Or they should do the same thing as onepiece and dbz did(even though onepiece does it good!) 1-1,5 chapter = 1 episode, no catching up there!

    But the sad truth is, in japan naruto(anime) is even more popular than ever since the fillers started, dont ask me what wrong with the kids in that country

31. Firestorm Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 9:10 am

    I actually enjoy the fillers. I have seen every single one and I’m still here. Just give them a chance!

32. rico Says:

    i got something off the new title on epi. 202… its just me though.. here it goes

    they’re announcing who the best genin are.. then they looked back at what happened during that sasuke chase arc… i gues its shika, kiba, chouji, neji, and naruto (lee might take a place there, dunno)… im thinking that its like in the manga were they reminisce and train harder so they’d become strong or watever… but it wont be exactly the same but a slightly similar plot…

    just a thought though, i like to keep myself happy by speculating things like this to make me feel as though fillers will end at epi. 204..

33. Andrew Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 11:33 am

    Not that I don’t like the fillers, but because they are staring to get redundant, I would like to see them end. Unfortunately, I haven’t watched this episode. When I do, I hope I’ll be happy. The fillers aren’t bad, I agree with Firestorm. It’s just that waiting week after week for nothing important to happen gets annoying. Like the Youroimusha (I forget how to spell it) Saga. That chapter was really good. The only problem with it was waiting all those weeks for it to get good.

34. Firestorm Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 11:41 am

    Yeah I guess I am a little tired of all the fillers. But this one is pretty good.

35. Brendan Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 1:44 pm

    I stopped watching the fillers right after the star arc. I got so sick and tired of the fillers.

36. Naruto Dattebayo Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 2:14 pm

    Well…this filler is more like an episode of scooby doo without the obvious villain in a mask. Though it’s still a damn filler, it’s actually getting my attention…sort of. But come on…it’s still filler!! DX

37. 9thGate Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 6:46 pm

    i dont get how ppl complain bout fillers and still watch them >_>

38. 9thGate Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 6:56 pm

    and if we they do somethin similar to your plan kibate pretty soon ppl will have something new to complain about, the slow rate of new naruto anime, but i still think thats a better idea than wat they’re doing now

39. boho Says:
    August 24th, 2006 at 7:59 pm

    say, was that shibuki from that scene at the waterfall village?

40. 9thGate Says:
    August 25th, 2006 at 2:40 pm

    yep that was shibuki
