[NOT DRAMA] Watched Naruto + Shippuden

So I finally did it, here are some observations

• A lot of people told me to watch only Part l and not to bother with Shippuden but I really wanted to know more about Akatsuki, overall I liked Shippuden a bit more

• Shippuden had a nice beginning but after the Pain arc I feel it went a bit downhill, tbh I was already starting to get bored by the time they killed Hidan and Kakuzu, however it got a bit more interesting when the real Madara appeared

• The filler, omg the filler, I had heard about Naruto's reputation with filler but I didn't expect it to be that bad, literally half of series seemed to be filler and really boring filler at that. I only remember a few I liked: Kakashi's face (from Part l), the don't laugh at the funeral one, the one with Raiga (I liked his character) and Mecha Naruto, there's probably a few more but I can't remember atm

• Is it just me or Kishimoto seemed to like femboys?

• I liked Sai and Kaguya and am indifferent to Danzo, they seem to get a lot of hate but I think they all were neat in their own ways

• Yamato was great and it sucks how everyone forgot about him after he got kidnaped lmao

• The Sharingan was cool at the beginning but then it got a ton of bullshit abilities and it became annoying

• Guy should've died instead of Neji

• I don't particularly care about pairings but Naruto x Sakura would've made more sense than Naruto x Hinata

• I really like Iruka, he's pretty wholesome

• I liked Sasuke's development, a lot of people seem to hate him because he comes across as an edgelord but he wasn't really that bad until after he found out the truth

• I also like Sakura, she's probably the character that matured the most compared to her child self, it sucks that she didn't get that much relevance after the fight against Sasori. Also I can see why people say Kishimoto doesn't know how to write female characters lmao

• My boy Tobirama did nothing wrong! Jk, but it was pretty funny how almost all the characters that caused major problems where Uchihas lmao

• Also there's something wrong with Konoha's children, like, excluding the main cast, literally all the kids in the flashbacks were absolute peepees and not only towards Naruto

In general I don't regret watching it but it didn't really meet my expectations, it was okay nonetheless tho I skipped a lot of the filler, I'm not strong enough

Also if you have some funny Naruto memes post 'em please 🙏
