Show Summary

  • Returning Series

Naruto Shippuden (a.k.a. Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles) takes place two-and-a-half years after Naruto leaves to train with Jiraiya. Upon his return, Naruto finds out that everyone in his age group has surpassed him in rank, and he's fallen behind. With only six months left to rescue Sasuke, however, Naruto must face even more dangerous enemies. As Akatsuki's plan unfolds, and Naruto slowly loses himself to the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, it becomes clear that more dangers await Naruto than ever before.

    Continued from Naruto several years later after his battle with Sasake. This part you watch Naruto friends start taking leadership roles in the villages basically passing the torch over to them. You watch as they experience loss and suffering of war and the choices you make. This is a huge development from the first saga and you must watch to experience the true essence of this anime.

  • One of the most impressive legendary anime.So why is it not perfect? Read on.

    Shippuden is the sequel to the internationally and immensely popular Naruto series.

    Pros:Well developed characters after the time skip. Very Very Well developed and diverse story,and so is interesting.Characters have their own signature personas,helping some to identify with others.Splendid,flexibly built Fight sequences.And good quality animation creating the perfect anime.
    So,why not give it 10/10?,Well,
    Cons:Seriously boring overuse of filler arcs.Sometimes quality is forsaken for flexibility(ep: 167).Still,if more than 3 people are present,talks are frequent between fights.
    This is the one of the top 3 anime i have ever seen,and would be first,if fillers were less.moreless

  • Good show, bad dub

    Naruto Shippuden is a contineation of the manga and is good, the only problem is that some of the filler stories fall flat most of the time and the dubbing company VIZ should not be dubbing it as they have not done an overall good job with there license. I hope that Funimation obtains the rights someday:)

    well i can honestly say i watched a few episodes of this and i was not at all interested in this show.i found it to be quite boring.to think that people say this is better than ninja turtles.the characters are bland an most of them seem to be carbon copies of Dragon Ball z Character like Naruto who seems to be a copy of Goku insome and orochi maru or what ever his name is seems to be one of the biggest and dumest cliche villains in this entire series i would like to see Naruto and Ninja Turtes go at eachother so that i could watch the tmnt kick this shows ass back to the place were Inayasha is at.moreless

  • A series that takes a simple idea - ninjas - and portrays it with action, drama, and sometimes even depth.

    "Superb"
    I am actually a little surprised the overall score is just 'fair'. Naruto: Shippuden is a huge improvement from the first installment of the series in virtually every way possible. The animation style is so much more simple, yet it retains a look of artistry. A percentage of the fillers have some depth and aren't as terrible to watch (a few detailing the history of Konoha can be amusing). Although some viewers will probably complain because the entire plot seems driven on 'just rescuing Sasuke', I mostly disagree. True, that's why Kishimoto created part 2 of the series at all, but Shippuden has given the characters a chance to grow, change, interact with each other more intimately, and discover new things about themselves. Sauske is just one part of the bigger picture.
    Strong points: better animation; excellent new villains - introducing the rest of the Akatsuki members, and giving many different characters besides just Naruto a chance to interact with them; good character development - Sakura becomes stronger, Sai enters the group, Sasuke faces multiple decisions about his future/ his plan, and Itachi's past is revealed; Naruto significantly matures and makes huge strides in progress through well animated fights/arcs; the concept of companionship and bonds throughout life is really focused on, without being corny.
    Weak points: the poorest fillers, obviously; some episodes that are extremely drawn out for the sake of lengthening the series, making some episodes entirely boring or lacking action - this is something Naruto in general has always struggled with; melodramatic moments that we could do without.
    Overall, this show is a definite improvement from the first part of the series in so many ways. The story right now is extremely interesting and full of action, and hopefully the animation will live up to it!moreless
