How many Naruto episodes are there? Also the Shippuden. I've asked this question before but then I forgot and the topic somehow disappeared (in another forum).

268 episodes.

(220 Naruto, 48 Shippuuden.)

Oh, okay, thanks ^^

You're welcome. :3

It has SO many episodes. xD I just skipped all the fillers.

kaitlyn - April 6, 2008 03:24 PM (GMT)
I watched all the fillers.

Heheh.

Now there's 276 episodes, methinks! (Morning math skills are NO GOOD.)

Inu-Ske - April 7, 2008 01:04 AM (GMT)
I actually watched a couple... like the WEIRD one where Naruto and Ino meet this really creepy guy, it was well...weird.

You mean, 'Ino Screams! Chubby Paradise! (or switched around)' in episode 195 (?) or something? Awww man, that one is WEI-RD. At least we get to see what Ino would look like if she were fat. Very fat. As quoted from this review of the fillers I found:

The Decent Fillers:

The Bikochu arc; listening to Kiba exclaiming that an identical but particularly gigantic bug couldn't possibly be the sniffer bug is priceless. Some of the Kamizuru bee-users' jutsu are interesting, and Hinata's anime-only Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō is an awesome offensive-defensive technique to behold. Everything else about this arc is crap.

The Na-no Country Arc: Some interesting filler baddies use magnetism, water manipulation and sonic air jutsu, and there are also shinobi that use flower-like jutsu. Everything else is rubbish. Moreover, the young-princess/noble/heiress-hates-Naruto-at-first-ends-up-liking-him-anyway plot technique is already worn out to oblivion here. One movie using this is satisfactory enough; don’t overdo it, Studio Peroit.

The Yagura’s Revenge Arc: Watching Gai and Lee go red when they open the Third (Life) Gate of their Eight Gates Taijutsu is always memorable, at least for me. Like the other decent filler, the rest of this arc is garbage.

Konoha 11 Arc: Watching the kids predict and uncover Gennou the Master Trapper’s plan is quite satisfactory, but Shikamaru’s meditation stance is used to heck here. Watching Naruto cry over a dying old man he barely knew is rather fake and annoying too. You get to see Naruto’s uselessness at realizing genjutsu too, but this is not amusing at the least. Moreover, there are some repeated scenes, namely one where the same animation of Rock Lee training on his thumbs is used both in his (filler-only) training dojo and while the genin were waiting for Chouji to arrive at a rendezvous. This was parodied to great humorous effect in Dattebayo’s self-made omake episode that rubbished the fillers.

The Star Village Arc: This is palatable. There is even a hauntingly beautiful lullaby track made for this arc. Unfortunately, the Star Village shinobi have forehead protectors with the symbol of a simple but ridiculous five-pointed star. I know that some villages have even simpler symbols, namely the Otokagure with their music note symbol, but the Hoshi Shinobi (the phrase itself doesn’t sound right) could have used kanji but no; they go for the more easily drawn star. And Naruto just has to go around making rivalries with every top genin of other villages. These elements ruin an otherwise good filler.

The Really Bad Fillers – DO NOT WATCH:

The Ocean Country Arc: Despite having the appealing Anko and always cool Shino in this arc, there are so many off-model drawings (as noted by Dattebayo fansubs in their parody episode), including a really bad one of Anko doing Gaton breathing jutsu, watching this arc will sicken you. Add in an ugly former associate of Orochimaru and an even uglier mutant mermaid girl, and this arc is elevated to bio-hazard status.

The Mizuki Returns Arc: Baddie Mizuki from Episode 1 of Naruto comes back, all pumped out with steroids and an ugly fashion sense. He has a (defective) Orochimaru seal to boot and turns into a supremely hideous parody of Tony the Tiger (Kellogg’s breakfast cereal mascot). In addition, there’s a flashback of Iruka and Mizuki’s past as former best friends. This is okay, at least until you saw the scene of teenage Iruka and Mizuki running off into Konoha’s meadows holding hands like gay Mary Poppins. This is SO WRONG. The worse part of this arc, however, is the inclusion of the Legendary Stupid Brothers Fuujin and Raijin, who look like they were designed using pens held with the artists’ butts (definitely not even worthy of Naruto filler). The WORST part is that these genuinely horrendous dolts did not die.

The Laughing Shino Arc: This arc is total sacrilege of Shino’s coolness. It has him laughing Dr. Slump style and there was even a scene where you can see his blood-shot eyes (also in Dr. Slump fashion) after having laughed too much. Avoid at all costs, if you consider yourself to be a true hardcore Naruto fan.

The Bird Country Arc: You get to see just how useless Samurai are after having watched Shinobi kick lots of ass. Then you get to see the ever-naïve Naruto believing that a young daimyo is a guy when any anime buff could have guessed that she’s not at first glance. The Seiyuu’s for Naruto also get butchered left and right in this arc. There’s also a baddie with bad choice of tattoos (worse than Kankuro’s; no offense, Masashi Kishimoto), as well as a rock (or dirt) using baddie whose eyes are drawn quite badly, and worst of all, made as Kakashi's enemy for this arc. Good thing he got owned good though.

The Kurosaki Family Arc: This arc introduces Raiga Kurosaki, one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. This guy is so badly designed that it’s hard to think that he was once Zabuza’s and Kisame’s acquaintance. Also, while both Zabuza and Kisame use Suiton jutsu, Raiga uses Lightning Jutsu. For a shinobi coming from the Mist Village, this is crap. In addition, we get a curry cooking oba-san that is Sanshou, and her hopeless (and equally badly designed) grandson whose name I DON’T want to, not can’t, remember. And there’s the Inochi-no-Karai. If Neji eating one spoonful of this curry and invoking Byakugan involuntarily wasn’t enough to be sacrilege of his character, then having him faint after Ten-ten force-fed him several scoops must be. This lame Neji is so not the Neji we know and admire.

The Princess Fuku Arc: I have always thought that including modern stuff like can drinks, video games and hand-phone culture into Naruto’s world was a bad idea, since it leaves the saga vulnerable to cheap technology gags and bad present day fads. I am proven right in this episode, where one of the characters is a fat-assed hairy Elvis Presley impersonator who tap-dances with a rose in his mouth and his massive belly bouncing with gusto all the while as his retinue of servants sings a ridiculous chorus. Yes, it’s that bad. Ino’s expression of suppressed rage and disgust doesn’t even come close to describing the absurdity of this scene, which was repeated TWICE again later in the episode. You also get to see Naruto abuse his perverted Henge no Jutsu again, making a tramp out of Ino (and the princess she was supposed to impersonate). This is where the excess budget for animation of previous episodes went. The only interesting thing about this episode is you get to know how Ino would look like if she is fat. VERY FAT.

I've watched about half of 'em. Yeah some of the bad one's ARE pretty bad x_X

lolita - April 8, 2008 04:12 AM (GMT)
I watched all of them. x__x

I think among my favorites were the one about the bomb in the village, and the laughing Shino! xD

I hated the Ino one... and the one where Shino, Hinata, and Naruto [I think] had to go find this bug in the forest, only to waste their efforts in their end...

My favourite is curry of life. It's just so stupid and so funny. Personally, I think of the fillers like a fanfiction, but but in the show. I bet they got fans to send in ideas! THAT'S WHY THERE ARE SOME MARY-SUES!!!!

kaitlyn - April 8, 2008 07:02 PM (GMT)
NO SELF-INSERTS. TURNED MARY-SUE!

I loved all the fillers.


menchi - April 17, 2008 01:08 PM (GMT)

I love them too. Though it gives me no faith in the writers for the anime, they do make me laugh a whole lot. :3 I need to getting around to watching them more.

kaitlyn - April 21, 2008 11:16 PM (GMT)
Yay for watching all of them!

When Naruto farted on the bug, I wanted to punch myself in the face.

kaitlyn - April 24, 2008 11:13 AM (GMT)
I hope you didn't, that would hurt.

NARUTO YOU SILLY BILLY! YOUR FARTS DON'T SMELL LIKE SASUKE.

. . . I hope . . .

sangorules - April 24, 2008 03:46 PM (GMT)
Ew... if they did, then Sasuke would be one stinky kid.

kaitlyn - April 26, 2008 12:11 AM (GMT)
Maybe Naruto farts a gay, flowery scent.

((Ewwwwwwww. I'm reading Hiashi/Neji. And EWWWWWWWWWWWWW, I'm liking it. The story is like, Nejihina though.))

sangorules - April 26, 2008 03:30 PM (GMT)
But wouldn't his farts be ramen scented? Maybe Sasuke soaks in ramen so Naruto likes him...

((Oh my Kaitlyn, you dirty dirty child.))

kaitlyn - April 27, 2008 11:19 PM (GMT)
Well, that would explain a lot. That's why Naruto is chasing him, because Sasuke smells like ramen.

((Naruto/Hanabi is so pimpin'.))
