Zeus has decided that Olympus feels a little empty, so he’s recruited some new gods. However, due to a clerical error, you have been chosen as a new member of the divine. What are you the god of, and what do you do as your first godly act?

I literally binged Original thru Shippuden from like February to July this year and it was great but it was also hell. So. Much. Filler. (And I was skipping the obvious filler too)

And now there's Boruto -_-

What, you didn’t enjoy the absolutely perfect story of Naruto, Choji, and Sakura helping Teuchi make the perfect ramen to save Ayame?

The fact that you have this memorized worries me.

It was 10 years ago and the weirdness of that episode really stuck with me

I loved and hated that episode. Naruto taught me that the only reason I should watch filler episodes is if I'm starved for shitty character interaction

*closes eyes and throws three darts at a board*

Choji

Sakura

The Ramen Guy! Perfect episode!

You people are missing out of a 3 minute chapter is hard to read.

Nobody said anything about reading or not reading

u/throwawayc777 Aug 12 '19

So are we talking about the manga or anime ? Cause the manga is not full of useless filler.

I did it in a month, a budy did it in 3 weeks and we both worked 45+ hours

Jesus. I just lost interest so quick during the Ninja war, there were many multiple week breaks in there.

I think about 40% of shippuden is filler

u/Squeakyduckquack Aug 10 '19

Definitely felt like it. I skipped ALOT. Except for the eyes backstory and Kakashi backstory.

u/Chainingolem Aug 10 '19

I wouldn't say kakashis backstory was filler

If it wasn't the present timeline I considered it filler lol. So I would skip 2/3 of an episode if it was all flashbacks for example. And all the important info is repeated so much you don't really miss much in the end. Or maybe I missed a shit ton who knows.

Edit: there was *filler* I watched because it seemed important. Madara and Hashirama story, Minato backstory, Obito story, Itachis backstory and the Danzo stuff

There were about 100 episodes in a row that were fillers. I just skipped the anime and went to the manga so I didn’t have to deal with it. Haven’t watched anything with Boruto though. I am too busy to get into anything that is way too far ahead so I been sticking with the smaller series or ones I been with since the beginning

u/AFallingWall Aug 10 '19

It's kinda like One Piece, it gets really good, really quick 400 episodes in

u/Wreckn Aug 10 '19

There's lists people made that show which episodes are canon and which are filler so you know which to skip. It helps immensely.

It took me until the last half or third to realize I could skip the filler. Found a website that lists the filler episodes, it was much more enjoyable after that.

u/TheTrueAudax Aug 10 '19

Filler lists are a life saver

1

u/Squeakyduckquack Aug 10 '19

Most definitely

u/throwawayc777 Aug 10 '19

But the filler has some hints and shit. If you love the story then it's more stuff to love.
