I don't think it's a horrible series, but it takes them too damn long to get to anything that I just eventually lost interest in the show.

I more or less made it through the first series (I skipped A LOT of the goofy random stupid ones towards the end) and just stopped during Shipuuden (somewhere in the late 30's). It got to a point where it to them five episodes to get past the amount of time it takes to mutter a short sentence and I just stopped caring.

For a 20 minute show it's retarded that they spend the first 5 on recaps and then another 5 doing the same thing that happened the show before. There are much better things that I can waste my time on, like Gossip Girl, or The Hills, or Family Guy, or some other random pointless show that you feel just as stupid for watching.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice that they tried to do so much with developing the characters and did a decent job once they actually got somewhere, but just so much fluff. For a show that has like 300 episodes, they really could have done it all just as well or better in 100.

My advice to you is to read the manga. Its FAR better then the anime and MUCH more to the point.

Yeah, but then I would be one of those people that read manga.  That would be like one step away from being one of those people that camp out in the manga isle at Barnes and Noble and I would have to kick my own ass.
