I got too watch a few episodes of actual content and then it was back and forth between filler and actual content. The part that frustrates me about this is that for some casual joe watching naruto...they will think that this is how the anime is actually pogressing. Sometimes theres no clear distinction between filler and actual content. I dont see why they need to do that. Yes the manga releases slower than the anime...thats fine everybody knows that. But they can time the release of filler and story line in a structured way that doesnt detract from the actual story of naruto. Not to mention that the animation is sometimes appauling. And i'm not even talking about filler... It just feels like the people making the anime don't really care about the quality of the show as a whole. And thats a shame because Naruto for me is one of the best animes of all time. And the only reason this is even argued is because of how the anime diverges from the manga. I have faith though that at some point in the future the anime will be remade sticking close to the manga. Similar to what happend with Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and a few other animes that have been remade. |
I really don't see it ever being remade, since it has been the most popular anime worldwide for almost a decade now (so clearly whatever they're doing, it's working) and the manga hasn't even finished. The only thing I can see happening is something similar to Dragonball Z Kai (or whatever it's called), which was pointless in my opinion.
I'm fine with the anime diverging from the manga just like tv shows and movies do with books. Most of the fillers we've seen recently actually make sense as side stories even though they never happen in the manga. I too wish they had a big filler storyline instead of this mess, but I still find myself excited every Thursday for a new episode. Because of the fillers, Naruto has gone from a 10/10 to an 8/10 for me, but that's still pretty darn good. In other words, they're hurting the franchise, but not ruining it (yet). Can't say the same about poor Bleach :(
