i watched it as a ~17 y/o with absolutely no nostalgia (i never watched the series prior to then) and i very much disliked the series. the reason being filler, flashbacks, recaps, single dialogues spanning episodes on end with no actual progression, etc.

if you know you're into battle shounen, then go ahead and give it a try and just drop it if you don't end up liking it.
if you're not into battle shounen and/or you're old enough to be considered not within the age demographic then there's a good chance you're not going to like it.

i would never personally recommend watching naruto, but everyone is different and there certainly is a a lot of people who do like it and that's not for nothing.

bro if you watched it for first time of course it will not be nostalgic

Is it even a question??? Off course go for it

It is easily one of the greatest iconic animes of all time imo (not saying it as the best anime of all time or anything like that)

Yeah it's worth watching. I was in the sane position like you are now. I used to get Naruto edits on my YouTube randomly. So I got more curious to watch. And you'll get into it pretty quick. As for the fillers just skip em. Search on google for filler guide. And your good to go.

Like others have said I was a big dragon ball fan and refused to watch Naruto because of the rivalry. However I got over it and just wanted to watch some of the classics that everyone knows. Naruto itself was alright nothing remarkably but worth the watch because of Shippuden. Im just about at the halfway point of Shippuden and I am loving it alot, I would really recommend watching. When it comes to the filler I watched all the filler of og Naruto and honestly it was like 75% enjoyable and 25% boring but obvioisly you can skip it. Shippuden filler I just found boring aside from the tweleve guardian shinobi which is the first filler arc of Shippiden.

skip the fillers with a filler guide online. there's also ultimate Naruto kai which is a fan made project which removes all fillers and useless flashbacks.

yes, but maybe skip the filler.

just look up naruto filler on Google, should tell you what not to watch.

or if your lazy, you can read the manga.

I am dragon Ball fan so I made myself not to watch Naruto . But at some point during lockdown I gave up and started watching including with fillers. I won't say it's bad and at the same time so good either
I haven't watched it at the right time bc at present there are many great shounen animes
yeah my only regret is if maybe i have watched before I may have liked it.

That's what I felt when as an recent viewer


wait, what does being a dragon ball fan have to do with naruto? are the fandoms at war or smth? lmao

During my childhood it matters to me, somehow and I am pretty sure that i have come across a fan war on Naruto and DB

no. it's not the way ppl say it is. I had to force myself to watch it fully ( with fillers) and overall it's a pretty mid show. am now watching shippudden and it's not any better either ( till the ep I have watched)

come on ..... it's one of the big 3 so apart from Sakura you will enjoy each aspect of the show😊😊😊

nah there are more trash characters. the main 3 characters are so bad it was so hard to force myself to watch it. naruto's character in a bit annoying. sasuke is literally a fucking annoying emo guy and sakura is straight up trash. apart from this the side characters are so good like rock lee.

It is.

Rule is that you don't watch the fillers and you treat OG Naruto as a prologue to Shippuden, which is absolutely astonishing. As a person who's into shonen genre I must admit that it has its own sort of "spirit".

It's great at times I believe the whole series is as easy 8/10 but the fillers.... Hear me out. My experience of watching Naruto was challenged by lots of unrelated fillers. Simply animating scenarios that we fans might or might not wanted to happen like What if situations. It's not all bad but it was confusing and become more of a mere business than art. I don't know if you get me but that part of the production Naruto is what threw me off a little. Hey but IT IS DEFINITELY worth watching. About skipping fillers... I'm not quite sure which part to skip, go look up a proper guide.

Naruto is the best, and what really got me to like anime. He started at the bottom and worked his way to the top, and the time it took for him to become a good fighter made him legit. I really got bored with the random animes that had the unbeatable main characters that somehow got strong with no training or effort. I also like the world building and the random goofy stuff that happened. Naruto had several scenes were I did tear up, but I shouted for joy when he finally married Hinata! Yes, the recap episodes are a little tedious at times, but schedules had to be kept, I suppose. Also, the openings and ending songs I’ve always enjoyed, in fact I still listen to them long after I finished the series.

As long as you skip the filler, yes. Has some amazing fights, a lot of great moments and is overall just a solid series. Only complaint i really have is that the war arc is waay too long and pretty boring in the beginning

Yeah i watched like 35ish ep of Boruto and couldn’t force myself to keep going. Maybe i’ll read the Manga so i can witness the death of Naruto once that inevitably happens, instead of hearing about it on YT (like what happened for me with the most recent big event which i’m not mentioning so i don’t spoil anyone, just in case)

Bruh how are you comparing Aot and Steinsgate to Naruto when they are such different shows? If you say Naruto sucks go watch this other Battle Shounen id get it but like AoT? Great series but has literally nothing in common with naruto

I watched Naruto and Naruto shipudden as a kid and loved them both dearly. When I rewatched it not too long ago as an adult I kinda struggled through it and didn’t find it as enjoyable sadly.

Meanwhile, I never watched One Piece as a kid and just started watching it a couple of months ago and I’m hooked into it.

I’d say Naruto and Shippuden are worth the watch since it has some of the best characters in all of anime (no cap) but I think One Piece is more satisfying to watch.
