Naruto has become the most popular and well-known anime series ever when it comes to start watching anime for beginners. My first anime was Naruto too, it’s strange – maybe it appeals to a wide variety of young teenagers. No, doubt you made a great decision to start watching anime as from Naruto. You’ll be impressed with the story, characters, and plotting – all thanks to Masashi Kishimoto.
You would have heard a lot of people call this the most overrated anime of all time. Is it really? Well, that depends on who you ask. Most people love this anime and I’m one of those guys because this is the anime that got me into Anime in the first place. The story of Naruto is too complex to think where would it end, I’ve never seen such a great story in any anime yet. When you’ll start watching Naruto Shippuden, you would come to start to understand why this Anime is called the best anime series for all time.
You would surely have noticed there are many mostly filler episodes throughout the series where episodes have some flashbacks of characters. I would personally suggest you watch all Mostly filler episodes of naruto if possible watch Mostly filler too.
Although it has very few Mostly filler episodes but very important. Also, filler episodes are nothing to do with ongoing stories, these episodes not adapted from the manga. So you can skip these episodes and watch storyline episodes such as Canon and Mostly Canon.
However, there are also some filler episodes where you’ll find snippets of the original story and you wouldn’t like to skip these Naruto filler episodes – such episodes names as Mostly filler.
