I still have quite a bit of the anime to catch up with myself, but I just read that the final episode aired today. Finally! Been a long ride (a good 15 years or so) and gave me (and many) lots of great childhood memories lol, truly the end of an era.

Spoiler

Now let's see how long until they announce the Boruto anime

 

[TheGamingBox]

it already was. should start airing next week

 

[Ogodei]

it already was. should start airing next week

Yup. Japanese TV never stops. Soon as a show ends something new needs to be brought up to fill its slot.

What i never get is, if you do want to see reruns in Japan, what are your (legal) options? Streaming services and DVDs, or do some of the broadcast anime ever re-air on cable?

 

[sixteen-bit]

end of an era

 

[Puruzi]

end of an era

I mean it's basically continuing so is it really the end of an era

 

[frontovik]

Should've finished a long time ago.

 

[Ray Down]

It will still technically be going on though.

Naruto shit anyhow so no big lost.

 

[Einchy]

Wait, they just played filler after the Sasuke and Naruto fight? These guys are honestly the masters of filler.

 

[caliph95]

Not to be a dick but i'm surprised it took it this long to finish was it due to the fillers especially.

 

[Oblivion]

Today?

Wasn't this shit finished a while back?

 

[caliph95]

Today?

Wasn't this shit finished a while back?

The manga did the anime didn't partly due to fillers

 

[Cindres]

Posts in here are confusing, so it is ending or it's not? Some sort of spin off series or something continuing?

 

[phalestine]

Today?

Wasn't this shit finished a while back?

That was the manga I believe.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Today?

Wasn't this shit finished a while back?

The manga ended in 2014, but the anime kept going with filler on top of filler.

 

[Pein]

crazy, shippudens tenth anniversary was last month and I still remember how crazy the anticipation was for the original series to end and for them to move on.

 

[Oblivion]

Wait, what? They were still making filler episodes even after the manga finished?

Naruto's story is ending, but the continuing adventures of his son Boruto will be the new series, to my understanding.

 

[Lmo911]

Great, now someone get a machete and par this whole thing down to something I can watch relatively quickly.

 

[Desmond]

Wait, what? They were still making filler episodes even after the manga finished?

Plus they adapted some of the novels for the past few months.

 

[Einchy]

Wait, what? They were still making filler episodes even after the manga finished?

Yes but the craziest part is that once the anime got to the end, they didn't end it there, they still made more filler.

 

[Brandon F]

Was it a filler episode?

I'm pretty sure it has been announced yet.

The manga .

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Yes but the craziest part is that once the anime got to the end, they didn't end it there, they still made more filler.

And they didn't even get to end until last September or so.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Wait, what? They were still making filler episodes even after the manga finished?

Yes.

This should give some idea of the actual quality of Naruto Shippuden as an adaptation.

So Japan doesn't have general TV 'seasons'? US always has some kind of new programming on, but it's pretty much fall-spring that the bulk of new stuff is on w/ a lot of summer being re-runs or random summer shows. That's really interesting.

 

[Trojita]

There's been a shit load of fillers this whole time.

Wow. Garbage series is even more garbage...er, than I thought.

 

[Ray Down]

It has been, though I think not in the same time slot, I think Snack World is taking Naruto spot.

 

[metsallica]

Or they animated the canon light novels, but whatever. Has been great, sorry you're not a fan.

Again, HAS NOT BEEN FILLER since they ran out of manga material.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Finally, shit should have ended sooner imo

 

[Desmond]

Wow. Garbage series is even more garbage...er, than I thought.

Novels are canon, though.

YUP !

[Fj0823]

Was it a filler episode?

Kinda, it was Naruto marrying Hinata.

And of course, it focused on Iruka...because who the fuck cares about the newlyweds and their feelings?

 

[thiscoldblack]

I like Naruto, but there were so many problems with it. The anime had so many fillers. Not even good ones. In the manga, Kishimoto loved to do one to two panels per page to show emotion. To me it seemed more like filling pages quickly to slow down the story-telling. Lastly, the flashbacks plagued the series so bad. This constant drag about Sasuke, adored like a god by almost everyone. We all knew he was a subpar character.

What's TokyoTV airing in its place?

Iruka is great though and for how much he actually shows up is extremely popular.

Snack World

The most recent 'filler' episodes were often novel adaptations, rather than actually anime original.

Animax reruns a lot of different shows.

 

[Fulminator]

[kewlmyc]

COMING NEXT WEEK: BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS.

 

[CadetMahoney]

The manga ended in 2014

Damn. I don't follow Naruto only what I read on GAF and it feels recent lol.

 

[Savitar]

Good riddance.

Boruto, such a stupid name.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Used to love this show, but I feel nothing now. Feels so hallow now.

 

[Numb]

NOW it ended?
Fillers are too op

 

[Brazil]

About 15 years after it stopped being worthwhile.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Nothing of value was lost.
