Original Naruto Anime's Brand-New Episodes Premiere on September 3

[And that still does not really warrant a good reason to make a remake out of it. It's just milking and nothing else.

Yeah, well, sorry that you still haven't learned about this, but people REAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLYYYYYYYYYYYY love money.

For as much flaws as you could find in regards to fillers, pacing, animation, etc. The anime as it stands still holds up greatly. Save re-adaptations for series that got actual poor treatment.

Plus some of the filler was actually pretty helpful when it came to fleshing out Team 7's relationship pre-timeskip. Something that was pretty poorly developed in the manga.

As someone who's...let's just say not a massive fan of the franchise, I've never understood why it's so eager to go back to the pre-timeskip well again and again. Even Shippuden sets a substantial portion of its (copious) filler episodes there. For my money, a good chunk of the cast was straight-up insufferable as younger kids, Naruto himself above all else, and it's only after they got aged up and matured in Shippuden that they became tolerable. (Well, Sasuke was always terrible, but you can't win 'em all.) Going back to young Naruto shouting his head off at everyone isn't my idea of a good time.

They need to make Naruto Kai with all the filler stripped off

Good luck attracting the new fans with 20 years old animation.

Fillers are least of its problems, especially nowadays when people can just skip them easily.

First of all, watch this video, educate yourself:

Secondly, we are talking about animation and not outdated video game graphics. Good animation is timeless, the last time I checked the principles of animation are the same they were 20 years ago. A lot of modern remakes have arguably worse production values despite looking more shiny, all thanks to the poor state of the industry. Your attitude towards art and animation is quite problematic.

Well, for people who actually like Naruto, part 1 represents not only very strong nostalgia, but the period when the series was lighter, simpler and more upbeat, before the series became more somber, complex and generally more of a downer with part 2.

Going back to young Naruto shouting his head off at everyone isn't my idea of a good time.

You can say whatever you want, but Naruto will receive a remake in 2-3 years, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Pierrot doesn't give a shit about whether some of their old animated titles was good enough of adaptation, they know that ancient anime will never print as much money, as fresh new modern one.

For the filler part 1 just lends itself to filler better. A lot of the post timeskip stuff is just one story beat after another with little downtime to go off and do their own side adventurers without a bunch of caviats like it being a dream world or flashback.

Better that than him constantly droning on about being Hokage, wanting Sakura to notice him, and the equally one sided tension when him and Sasuke.
