    Okay finished volume 64. I read 60-64 today so I'm basically caught up on the Manga since I read them in volumes although thanks to the morons on the internet a occurrence that happens later is spoiled. Volume 65 is out in April so yeah time to just wait...

    I've been watching it on hulu plus for a couple years now. They stopped with the subtitles 7 episodes ago, so I guess I'm done.

    Read volume 66 last week. Of course I might have been spoiled on what comes next because people on the internet love to talk.

    Watching Shippuden on Toonami. Man does that first story arc take FOREVER. I think it was a solid 32 episodes. Ive watched it before online years ago with subtitles but decided around the 75th episode to just read the books to skip filler.

    Also random question do people consider fillers 100% canon since they are not in the magna. Or would you consider them two different realties?

    Well Sakura role in the ninja war arc has been really small until
    Sasuke came back
    So its not like Hinata had not had a lot competition.

    Watched the filler arc before Sasuke leaves when they escort the runner for the race. Really enjoyed it since I have not watched it in 4 years and its nice seeing Team 7 all together (well almost) in a mission I don't remember as much since Ive reread the magna many times and watched it too. I wish there were more fillers before Sasuke left to see those three interact more and fight together.

    Finished the Manga last night and after almost 10 years since its debut on Cartoon Network the story has concluded for me. Still need to watch The Last Naruto Movie since I think that takes place between chapters 699 and 700 which is interesting and fill in the gaps.

    Well Madara turned out to be nothing but a bitch because the mother thing ended up becoming the final villain which was a bit over the top but I was at the point of not caring about the story too much anymore. I stayed invested because how much I am attached to the characters. That would have been a perfect final battle to have Team 7 battle together again but of course we needed the pointless Naruto vs. Saskue battle which basically meant nothing besides losing an arm. The battle looked cool when reading it but to me Saskue could have had his redemption without that.

    Well even though I wanted Naruto and Sakura since the beginning and had lots of debates with my friends back in the day who he should have ended up with I was not as angry when he ended up with Hinata. Probably because (I am over thinking it and am getting way to emotional about a fictional story but I can't help it) I don't have a crush on the same girl when I was 12-13 years old and moved on and matured along the way. So I come to the point in my life I matured passed the old feelings and moved on to someone who is a better match for me. OK sure I am not with that girl thats abetter match for me but I am working on it. Like Naruto. Hinata just ended up being a better match for him and although if I was writing it I would have paired him with Sakura just because Hinata works for me I guess. What does not though is Saskue and Sakura. That complete bullshit right there! So Saskue just comes back bangs Sakura and leaves? Maybe its explained in The Last Movie but for now that is the most forced fan service love story ever! Even tough Naruto and Hinata was probably fan service at least it was natural. This is just forced! Sakura works so hard to become a worthy ninja next to her teammates and says "screw being a respected ninja I am just going let Saskue stick is Kunai in me and call and become and single mother!" Well thats a waste of her becoming like Tsunade. There nothing wrong with being a house-wife. But to become Saskue sex toy is sad. The other pairings were cute like Ino and Sai. All together I liked the ending even though seemed like a big fan service.

    After 10 years for me the story of Naruto has ended. I hope to watch The Last Movie soon to see the gap between 699 and 700. I hear there will be something done with
    his son
    . Only time will tell and hopefully there will be more little stories to come.

    It already did in Japan. Its probably online somewhere on the internet. It will probably take forever to put in the the english dub so I am probably better off with finding the english subtitles.

    I still can't believe it finally died.

    Makes me wonder what the next 200+ anime is gonna be...Though I doubt we're gonna get anything like that in the next decade.
    Anime really seems to limit itself lately.

    Naruto lasted 220 episodes

    Naruto Shippuden is around 400 episodes and will still go through the year.

    So the question what will be the next 620+ anime be and there suppose to be a little spinoff sometime later on.

    I watched all of Naruto when it came out on Cartoon network. The 11 episodes they didn't air I watched online. Shippudden I wastched the first 70 episodes subbed but decided to just read the manga to skip the filler. Which works out because if I only watched I have another year to go and I doubt i could go that long without spoliers ruining it.

    So what kind of plot did Naruto have to warrant 500+ episodes?

    Well a good amount of that was filler just so the show didn't catch the manga.

    I know it continues the tradition started with Goku in DB as far as retaining a voicing role for the life of the character regardless of age but I really wish Adult Naruto had gotten a new seiyu(voice actor) and that Junko Takeuchi had been retained to voice someone new.

    Id like to watch this movie when its available. I read the spinoff and it was decent but pointless hopefully this gives us something.

    I still need to watch the Last.
