This 'news' is like 2 weeks old...

It will not be filler anymore. But then again, I'm hardly excited since I've been following the manga every week, which is at chapter 334. The anime will take up the adaptation from chapter 238. So there is going to be a really long time, till the manga catches up (around 2 years or so)... I wont be watching the anime anytimesoon. I'll most probably wait till around 50-60 episodes get stacked up, and then I'll go in a marathon. Shonen should be seen only this way.

[jutsuri (#26170)]

uh... my goal wasn't to spread the 'news,' i merely wanted other people's opinions as to whether it seemed like the current naruto would continue with filler and the second season would be the continuation of the actual storyline.

i mean, seriously, how could i possibly think i had seen something before someone else on this forum?

[Daizengar (#99576)]

[Goth (#115302)]

Well as far as i heard the filler will stop this spring (Feb i think)

but who knows they said is to often

[Friday Hefler (#4995)]

Well... it's not Season 2... since Naruto Season 2 was long ago.

It is technically a "new series", but not really. I've seen rumors that the productions numbers are starting back at the begining.

It is supposed to start, from what I've ready mid-February, but I also read that the seasons start at the equinoxes/solstices which would be mid-March.

It is as started above, not filler, it will return to following the manga, at the begining of the "Naruto II" arc. Starting after the 2 year time-skip.

Ep.216 of Naruto proceeded with the Anime only, mini-arcs last week, so I assume it will be until pretty close to the new Series, hopefully they will tie them together somehow.

[domond123 (#79905)]

Feb.11 is supposed to be the date it comes out, that's what i've seen from the trailer for the new series or whateveer it's supposed to be the fillers will end really soon then.

[digital (#118430)]

i am really confused , why would they make asequal when the first one in not finished yet,

btw, i posted ur link to a few other anime sites so if i get any additional info ,will post it here

Well about my Quote...

The Filler Arcs were written by the Studio and their writers, they are not taken from the manga. The Anime departed from the manga, at the point they had ended - Sasuke Retrieval: Episodes 107–135, Chapters 172–238. All episodes since have been Anime only arcs written by the studio and the manga continued differently.

There is a short Manga only arc (Kakashi Gaiden) ch. 239-245

Naruto Shipuuden Anime starts with Manga 245 (Naruto II arc). The manga is currently at ch 342.

So to answer your question, No, the Anime is not skipping anything from the Manga, except the Kakashi Gaiden side-story (history of Kakashi). The Anime created it's own arcs and stories to fill time so that the manga could get ahead of the anime again, and to a safe distance.

That is why the filler arcs are generally considered inferior. If you'll notice no one makes any progress personally, no new things are learned or revealed, nothing grows or changes with the story, just little episodic events happen with no long term impact (to avoid future conflict with the manga storyline).

That is also why Naruto is such a weak-ass 'tard since ep 135, using the same moves and tricks over and over again, in the same order with an increasing failure rate, and decreasing strength. The anime showing him losing to ninja of lower rank and with lesser skils and power than ninja he kicked the crap out of before.

He has beat or participated in beating Jounin and a demon in the past, but cannot beat bandits, thugs, chounin and genin lately.

So now, we return to the actual manga. And yes... The Manga has a time-skip. 2 or 2.5 years passes unwritten between ch 238 and 245. In ep 1 of Naruto Shipuuden and Ch 245, Naruto is suddenly 2 years older.

Naruto II (Shipuuden) starts the day he returns, 2 years older

If you saw Episode 135, you are ready for Naruto Shipuuden, as far as the manga storyline is concerned.

I'm glad I waited to see the second series (should say that since it's technically not the second season): I watched up to episode 159 of the original Naruto before I decided to leave it be. I just finished watching the first episode of Naruto Shippuden. I didn't really notice many differences in the animation to be honest, so to say it's consistent is hitting the nail on the head, and all of the characters have grown up nicely.

So Naruto the first season was 220 episodes? For some reason it seemed a lot longer, but I didn't realize I didn't skip too much in terms of the number of episodes (well...I'm used to watching longer series, so that isn't a big gap for me).

My thoughts on the first episode: it sets up the story well, and gives an abbreviated view on some of the characters in the 2 year passage. Decent OP/ED themes and sequences, but they haven't caught along to me fully yet. For those who have been following the manga (I haven't been...I stopped reading the manga a while ago, around the aftermath of the confrontation of Sasuke and Naruto). I'm on the fence as to whether I should resume reading it. For those who have read the manga, is Naruto II shaping up to be an interesting read?

[Ch1pPy™ (#106014)]

And a Naruto fan was revived.... (kinda... or maybe not a fan, but a watcher, anyway)

I waited for this for 4 days, 4 efing days! Now I finally got to watch it, they left a HUGE, HUGE CLIFFHANGER! AHHH! I hate you guys!

Still not happy about the 85 epi fillers, that's 85 weeks for fuck's sake! how can someone forgive that?

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

85 weeks? it felt a lot more than that to me. 85 weeks of shitty episodes, 85 weeks of crappy stores, with only 2-3 of the arcs actually being interesting. (i liked the star country one, the recent gaara one, and the one with the kid that lost his memorys.) It really was enough to make any naruto fan, wonder why the hell they sat through that hell.

They should learn from the creators of bleach on how to make an interesting side story :-p

[Avalanche (#92065)]

I read ur posts and I have decided to wait it out till 10-12 episodes get collected. don't think that I'll be able to contain myself after that. Its a pity that the animation hasn't been upped - it could have used that. Kinda getting retro is you ask me.

@lost
I too left the fillers ater the 3rd story arc. The one in which Hinata and the group go out to find the bug which could help find sasuke. Hinata is that arc was just too cute.

Anyone read the lates manga chapters? Naruto has become amazingly strong . And something sinister seems to be brewing up....

[digital (#118430)]

the third arc will be even better that the first arc,more and more fight ,no more training only fights, also i am afraid that a few of good characters would die
=====================================
in opening scene ,demon fox mentioned something about a member of uchiha's family which i haven't heard of him before ,dos anyone know anything about it??

[Friday Hefler (#4995)]

Actually he was mentioned... in the family shrine, the hidden message about how to advance your Sharingan that Itachi found...

Kyuubi mentioned the ancestor who wrote it... I believe

[digital (#118430)]

[vicious (#32847)]

It's a shame we didn't get to see Kakashi's story which was in the manga. We could've atleast see some 4th Hokage in action. Still it's a promising start ^^

[Drake (#118991)]

yeah sry bout the spoiler.PM me if you want one though.

[Daizengar (#99576)]

[Alfredo87 (#117843)]

Shippuuden

[Drake (#118991)]

How the hell is my spoiler incorrect!? I'm almost absolutely sure that I'm correct.If not then what would the correct spoiler be then smartass?

[Ch1pPy™ (#106014)]

[Daizengar (#99576)]

[Stick (#5576)]

Daizengar and Chippy: There's really nothing i need to tell either of you, since there really wasn't anything wrong with what you did.

Drake: i don't need to say anything to you either because i think you got served a little.

But i will add, it wasn't called for to call him a smartass especially when it's obvious you didn't even bother reading his spoiler tag on how his version was different from yours. Keep your attitude in check.

[Rosepetals (#42525)]

I think after seeing the first three episodes of Naruto, I'll make the decision to continue with the Naruto II manga. (I'll retract my question from early on ^^; Sorry for the trouble).

It's working out well thus far, and the progression works well with the older characters.

[Drake (#118991)]

KEEP MY ATTITUDE IN CHECK?!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!? I KEEP NOTHING INCHECK 4 ANYONE AND SO WHAT, MAYBE I WAS WRONG BUT I'M NOT GONNA STOP BEING COCKY AND ARROGANT CAUSE THESE PANSIES GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT! AND PM ME ON WHAT THE ACTUAL SPOILER WAS.PANSY MOFO'S

[Ch1pPy™ (#106014)]

[Rosepetals (#42525)]

@Drake, you are seriously on the route to being either getting a warning or banned with your level of disrespect and language. Your attitude really isn't called for in this matter. It's one thing to be corrected on a matter, but if you don't treat others with respect, you're violating one of the main rules of the forums. Please take this message very seriously, because you are really pushing the envelope on a matter that is quite trivial in most veins.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Drake, I'm giving you a warning for your bad attitude. There are rules in this forum and you are required, like everyone else, to follow them. You have been warned by stick. Yet you chose to ignore his warning. Thus, an actual warning against you is warranted.

If you want to continue visiting this forum, follow the rules. If you think you can continue having things your way and acting like some immature little prick, then I'm shipping you out.
