I remember reading somewhere that the real Naruto arch would start sometime around March. Since we are already mid-March, and I haven't watched Naruto anymore since I was told the atrocious Naruto filler arch would last that long, I was wondering if anybody knows if it has finished already or not.

Has it started showing spoiler[Kakashi's past]? Anybody? Anybody?

Check out this thread.

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22325

Your question is quite moot at this point. Seeing as the series is not showing for what like a month. There is a month of miyazaki, and naruto is a show that gets bumped to make way. After the month is up there is supposed to be a naruto marathon.

Other then that I am unsure as to what you mean by arcs, and quite frankly I do not want to know. I am enjoying the show without knowing where it is headed, and I am sad that now I have a little idea of it.

Please guy warn of spoilers. I thought this was a thread about quality. I was thinking well the last 2 or 3 episodes did have alot of filler in them. It wasnt too bad, but now I know a detail I could of used not knowing.

Anyway where the series left off spoiler[They are just getting to the second test of the chunin exams. The forest of death. I would assume there will not be any real kakashi developement for awhile. He is only getting like 2 minutes a episode right now to comment on the exams. You have to be the judge on whether thats where you want to start back up or not.]

Opaquescum I'm terribly sorry for not using spoilers in my first post. But I was not talking about the Naruto episodes currently airing in the states, but the ones airing in Japan. ( Episode 170 something)

What you are watching right now is really really amazing true Naruto content.

What I meant by filler arch was the spoiler[last bunch of episodes (more than 30) that are nothing but filler because they are waiting for the manga to catch up. ]

Again sorry about that.

According to the prominent fansub group for this series, not to say they are the authority though:



That is from last week, so should be only 3 more weeks until they go back to the manga storyline.

this much crappy filler would have ended any other series. it wouldve just killed it, naruto is lucky that is has as many loyal fans as it does.

poor kenshin, right before the sexiest arc of all

Hmm only 3 more weeks? That can be good or bad. the current available manga can only make about 21-25 eps. it looks like there is no where near the end yet. I still haven't see Sasuke on the manga yet, spoiler[after he ran away]

Ending the filler in April has always just been speculation that the filler would end at the end of this TV season. However, episode titles going into next season suggest that the filler will continue probably for at least another month.

Don't know if it's a joke, but this week's episode's "message" was that there would be there would 26 more episodes, meaning one more season of filler.

Err, no. Wrong series I think...unless Naruto gets really ridiculous later on...(I stopped at episode 20...shounen with a story I thought...nope.)

Maybe, but then again maybe not. Squirm, Naruto fans, squirm! Twisted Evil Chances are if they are going to do more filliers, it'll be after after next main story arc, but who is to say... execpt the people that actually do the show.

Sigh,... true true to true! if they didn't Kenshin canceled it could have been the greatest arc in all of shonen Anime!,..
yet we get stuck with a Cult of Christians,German Knights taking over japan,and then anicent Chinese magic trying destroy japan..then Refections!!!? ..well at least the first OVA makes up for all the filler

The biggest problem i have with fillers is that they use the same soundtracks again and again. When i keep hearing the same music again i get sick of it. I loved the soundtrack of Naruto so i am trying my best to keep my self away from it as much as i can. Can't wait for the series to get back in.
But another 26 episode Filler stunt is just horrible but hey who knows they might write better this time around.
