But once you know what to skip, you’ll be on the right track to enjoying one of “the big three” anime of our generation. However a huge chunk of this series is filled with filler episodes that add nothing to the story whatsoever. The original Naruto anime focuses on the young days of the titular character from him becoming a ninja to his iconic battle with his rival Sasuke.

The list also reveals viewers can safely skip over the vast majority of Shippuden season 11 which is also known as the "Paradise Life On A Boat" arc and is one of the series’ most disliked arcs. 431)Īccording to u/EmperorPHNX’s list, only 64 of Naruto: Shippuden’s 500 episodes are filler which is a good ratio for any long-running anime series.
