So the final fight in Naruto (anime) has concluded. I actually thought it was brilliant. Not sure if it improved on what apparently some people considered lackluster in the manga since I haven't read that beyond half of part two. The series isn't completely over, guess one or two episodes to tie it up (hope they don't pad it out with filler and embarrass themselves one last time) but it's basically done. Some of the ending I had spoiled for me, some of it I did not.
The series had its ups and its deep, deep downs - but those downs were 99% to do with filler. Never really felt the story falter, unlike with Bleach etc.. Can't believe I've been watching it for 12+ years.
I hope one day they re-release it along the lines of DBZ Kai, improve the poorly drawn and animated parts, cut out all the filler. That could be a pretty special collection.
