Kakashi anbu arc is pretty good .

HELL TO THE NO.

Sometimes they're boring

Nah

I would say no, and they actually contradict things in the manga and give you the wrong impression. They are best to be skipped in my opinion.

While the filler doesn’t add to the story and can be skipped I’d advise not skipping them. The filler can be fun and can help you grow to care about some characters more.

I skipped them all because there are no key events or characters in the fillers anyway. I find them boring for this very reason,

Skipping filler is like skipping leg day, you might regret it later.

The filler really ruins the pacing of the series in my opinion and is best to skip.

They occasionally reference events that take place in filler, but it has absolutely no bearing on the overarching narrative or plot of the show.

Here is a list for Naruto.

Here is a list for Shippuden.

Are they fun to watch? Some of them maybe. But it’s filler. It has nothing to tell storywise, nothing manga related. So yes, you are very save to skip them. But only the full filler episodes. There are some mixed canon/filler episodes.

I’d give them a watch once, some of them are really good, some are really bad, but you should find out for yourself. If you really like Naruto, I don’t think you’ll regret it.

No, go back and watch the ninja ostrich and mecha Naruto please. After that watch the one piece parody ones and watch Naruto and Guy fight high as hell on mushrooms.

if it is your first time watching i say watch everything bc imo you end up understanding more

I've watched through Naruto 4 times, including OG and Shipudden, I haven't seen a single episode from those last 3 seasons of OG Naruto lol.

Some of the filler in Shipudden you should definitely watch; the main two being Kakashi's backstory and Itachi's backstory.

Skip now. Go back to later, maybe you’ll find a gem but slogging through them on a first watch is not pleasant when you have so much story to get to.

At episode 160, you have 60 episodes to go. Would you rather watch 60 episodes of filler or 60 episodes of Shippuden?

don’t even think about it watching the filler will 100% ruin your experience especially in shippuden

You have to watch only the anbu black ops ones they’re like in 400 something episodes the other skip

160 episodes are enough you can skip to 220 and then start shippuden

Someone should just pin to the top of this group that its okay to skip narutos filler lol. So many newcomers to the series ask this question that it should just be outlined on the groups description or some shit. Some naruto filler is pretty good, but I personallt think a lot of it is better to watch after you finish the series to decompress a little bit.

The fillers arent even important. Why is this a question? Why are so many unreasonable people telling you to watch crap?

Dont push yourself if it's going to burn you out on the anime. I suggest skipping to Shippuden and watching Naruto filler when you're bored or just feel like it.

They aren’t awful. They are at least fun to watch. You get to see what goes on in the world besides Akatsuki and Orochimaru

They’re awful, 100% don’t recommend. I watched everyone before I knew what “filler” was. It was not a good experience tbh. Skip to the last half of 220 and then on to Shippuden. It’ll save you a lot of time and you can engage with the much better canon content.

I skipped all the fillers. And I would advise everyone to do the same. Once I was done with the entire show, I watched a few fillers. Fillers has literally nothing to add to the story. So go ahead and skip

Skip all filler arcs, EXCEPT the one about Itachi’s past. That one’s good

No bruh all the good itachi stuff, kakashis origin story, it’s a lot more not necessarily important but important stuff

There’s a bunch of good Filler arcs, tbh

Kakashi ANBU Itachi ANBU Suna Chuunin exams 6 tails Unleashed 12 guardian Ninja

But you don’t have to watch them in order to understand the story. They just expand the lore or are very entertaining 🤷‍♀️

90% of the filler is straight up dookie, but some of it is genuinely amusing and interesting to watch.

Only a few, especially the kakashi anbu arc

It’s only funny if you acknowledge how dumb most of it is, like the Mecha Naruto one or the fake Naruto as well.

No

There’s a few I found pretty good, but for the most part a lot aren’t. I love that filler episode where the team tries to find out what’s under Kakashi’s mask lol.

Only Naruto the last movie is canon, you can skip the rest and as for fillers, you can skip everything except Episode 347-361, it maybe a filler but it perfectly tells story of Kakashi and Akatsuki.

It's better to watch full cause the time will come that you want to watch more naruto after it has completed

The fillers are optional. As are most of the movies. The Last is really the only really important one that is canon

I honestly like the fillers for character development lol but that's a hot take apparently

You can use my detailed filler list.

Don’t skip episode 101 in Naruto part 1

Don’t skip any episodes. You won’t feel the emotion everyone else here feels when a character dies or gets sad ect. because you skipped all of their character building scenes. Just watch the show, you have time.

Mixed canon eps have some manga panel adaptations but also filler stuff (not in manga). So just skip those listed as 100% filler

I had a list here with recommended fillers if you want to check it out.
