How tf did you guys put up with all the filler back when you were young and not get bored?
I 100% understand Naruto is slower paced compared to other anime and I am totally fine with that. I am watching the OG series rn and when it’s good it’s damn good. HOWEVER. The amount of filler even in episodes based on the manga is atrocious. For example, I am sure you are all familiar with the Monster Gara vs Sasuke fight?
Well they keep cutting back to this other fight with two characters that I don’t give a damn about. The bug guy and the puppet dude. Don’t know their names and can’t be bothered to find out. And I was starting to get irritated by virtue of the fact I wanted to see if Sasuke could find a way to beat Gara. Why couldn’t they just wait for the mangaka to get far enough ahead to where is wouldn’t be a problem? These guys have no backstory nor devolpment they are just two randos
I am an adult and this kinda annoyed me I cannot imagine being a hyperactive child and having to deal with this nonsence. In DBZ (my favorite anime as I grew up with it) is there filler? Yeah of course. But the majority of the fights are not (I think, hard to tell), and when it is there it’s just a little bit of fluff to pad between the action that’s super funny. Or is just as entertaining as the source material. How did you put up with it, not even watching the filler episodes btw. I genuinely can’t be bothered to do so for my mental health
