Naruto: Shippuden

An absolute masterpiece for the very first episode of the initial series Shippuden and its later setting is one of the ways the "brand" has had such a period of success giving compelling characters and arcs as well as showing perfectly the growth of many of the individuals that create the cast. For all it's flaws (particularly related to pacing and filler) there's a thousand reasons which solidify the shows status as a deserving modern classic amongst the greatest of all time

I'm sitting here hollow and sad that there is no more episodes! To be honest, I cried at the END! Without the best anime overall! It had everything! (And I've seen a few!)

Wish I could forget everything I SEE the show again for the first time!

Well the story starts with typical story start lines introducing us to the Naruto universe telling us the story of a boy. Whoa but when it goes on it completely turns into a thrilling nail-biting, heart-touching, mind-teasing epic series taking us deep into humanity through the imaginative Naruto universe questioning our view on the world and people.

This was one of the most influential stories I have ever witnessed. I wanted more, so I looked for best anime around to see if I can find something even better. What I found was, most of the other anime are bound around power, adrenaline rush, love and sacrifice, .etc . But in Naruto, apart from the all the things that I mentioned above it mainly focuses on what humanity is, where can it go wrong and what it might take to fix it.

That being said, don't misunderstand, the battles are epic. When I mean epic, I mean EPIC!!! For me the best part is, no matter how powerful opponents are, the one with the sharp mind comes on top with mind-blowing strategies. For nerds who watch Anime like me, this is the best part.

And oh! to see the maturity of the characters in the series from the childhood of being total knuckleheads to genuinely matured full fledged Shinobi(Ninja) is surely an amazing journey to take. One which must not be missed by the genuine minds around the globe.

I love this anime so much. The story is surprisingly well-planned and everything is just sooo good. Some characters might be neglected but that's tolerable. It's still my favourite anime.

Just fed up with fillers, quit so many times watching this series. Back in 2011 I had to stop so many times because there were 1 manga canon episode on 4 fillers. Now, almost 9 years later when I can skip all that crap, feeling is amazing! High quality production, amazing emotions, deep story, characters that bind with your soul, amazing! Skip fillers and its 10/10
