I Look forward to aot & Naruto Fridays 🙏🏾😭

adabooo

thank you for the early drop!!!!!! much appreciated 🥹

Gyt

Those places they go in the fillers does exist but its just not canon . The filler was about student and master bonding too and when I watched it first time I didn’t even know filler was a thing lol so the death reveal to Naruto hits a little harder .

DiPo

Just right to enjoy with my lunch =)

Earthshatter

thank you all so much for an early drop ♥

Goatchis

Still can't comprehend why that chose sub, every one I've met in real life has watched it in dub

Zipzzty

Peakruto

Karlsefni

11:56 - Pain being the one to capture the 6 tails was never in the manga, you guys technically didn't have to watch that last scene of the filler but I guess it can be considered "anime canon"

JD Galbraith

Naruto has an inferiority complex? 😏😏😏

Alex Ramirez

Patreon player back for the GOAT

Kite

Geezer sage got his backshots leaked 😭😭

Yagami Light

I get not liking og Naruto but honestly you wouldn't have enjoyed these eps as much if you didn't watch everything before it

bondbond53

Sometime Jack asks questions right the middle of an emotional scene which derails the whole vibe of the moment that I wonder if those questions can't be asked latter

Riley

he loves to listen to himself talk

Vlad Blue

Carters take about the Jiraya/Naruto episodes is not that out there. There are plenty of people who think the Jiraya/Naruto episodes are way better than the Itachi/Sasuke episodes.

GooberM

37:41 "Shikamaru's cooking rn" "That's Iruka bro" killed me, never change guys lmao

jessiefungirl

wasn't expecting this one, but thank you

Kite

Jack bro look at the screen 😭

Nami Swannn

PEAK INCOMING 🗣️ I don’t think Carter’s take is too crazy tbh. I think the Itachi stuff is better in hindsight once you’ve seen everything there is to his character. Also lots of ppl watched the series as it was ongoing so the hype was there since we’d waited YEARS for this confrontation and to see the extent of Itachi’s powers. Even then tho, imo the Jiraya stuff hits slightly harder because it pulls at your heartstrings. We spent so much more time on that journey + seeing the impact it has on Naruto and his mourning makes it even more sad.

Dakota

broooo yes, the beginning of peak. lets go

E

Best arc in the show!!

Mitosdomain

Thanks so much for this great reaction! I couldn't stop bawling watching these episodes idk how yall held it together. 🤧🥹

Shon

Oh my god an early upload 🔥

JayCnY

Non-manga readers, beware before joining Gek’s Discord. Unmarked spoilers for ongoing anime are common, even in unrelated channels. The moderators don’t enforce spoiler rules, so don’t expect any action to be taken. It’s disappointing, especially given how much the Gek’s hate being spoiled themselves.

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Yes Brig, you really need to binge some parts of this arc, atleast watch entirety of THAT fight in one sitting!

ether

"Naruto has beat me into submission so now I'm... dormant" Carter I'm CREASING

Kite

Not a diabolical take by Carter, Itachi kinda overrated if you ask me 😶‍🌫️

Shon

There’s wayy more to the fight with the six tails, its cool and they show it later on. I think they just didn’t wanna spoil the other pain’s abilities early on. I hate that the cut off makes Utataka look like a scrub :/

Sdat1guy

Don't worry carter I felt the same way! Not a crazy take. The Jiraya/naruto eps hit way harder! And now that I have done some rewatches I do understand what you mean when the beginning beats you down into submission 😂. It's really all over the place. The next few arcs should make you feel good again like these eps yall just watched! And again great reaction boys! Excited for the next vods.

Cannon Andrus

My favorite batch of the whole show!

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Jack:"Damn, Shikamaru is cooking rn". Cannon:"Bro, that's Iruka". Lmao

Fujiie

I still remember balling my eyes out the first time i watched this Jiraya episode 😭😭😭

ether

if yall are planning on doing that binge….. hope i dont die before then fr

Vallll

The Jiraiya/naruto episode is so good! One of the best things Naruto does is the emotional moments.

jemmy

EARLY DROP

Jeff

The anime intro discretion xDDDDDDDD

Michael H

“Sasuke lives rent free in my head, man…in a bad way.” Cannon freakin kills me lol. Somebody could compile an entire book of random Cannon quotes, and I would read it.

Coach

he could be more concise and to the point but he is a yapper you need

Rohan

W early drop 🙏

NINJA SWORD

The problem is these old shows are 2-3 chapters behind when released weekly so they have to drastically slow it down so they don't overtake the manga. Thats why og was like that, this arc definitely picks up the pace.

Kyle

I still think about him saying Naruto would buy Sasuke's of 😭😭

Ashley K

Thank you for the early drop!! 🫰🏻

Ashley K

This was one of the best reactions if not the best reaction to shippuden from you guys! ❤️‍🩹😭🤧 me throughout this entire batch

Denzel Mwandha

That's why I really want a naruto remake. It would fix so many of these issues and make it easier for newcomers to get into it

JayCnY

Yall have really given up on not reading episode titles and watching openings lol

ether

it’s either he’s saying the wildest shit or he’s under the sleep genjutsu 😂😂😂

Cannon Andrus

I’ve been locked in no sleep genjutsu recently 😭

Merry

My cousin brother passed away two days ago and I'm still in shock. The first two episodes reflected my pain. Because our bond was so strong, the news of his sudden death came as a shock. Sometimes, it feels good to vent in a strange place where nobody knows you and you can unload your heart. 😭😭💔

e riv

Watching these episodes again hurt and made me cry, remembering when Jiraiya bought Naruto the new suit he was wearing and when they shared the popsicle. Carter, you made my day knowing that you enjoy these episodes more. Cannon, I liked seeing your excitement about Naruto getting into training mode. Jack, I always enjoy your reaction, even with all the yapping and comparing it with DBZ's spirit bomb energy. You need to watch Dragon Ball. Mckay and Brig, that intro ending was a lovely little gem for the Geks, and that sight eye makes me want to join you two. I can't wait for the next couple of episodes. Thank you, Geks, for this early drop.

Hero3life

The binge talks at the end got me hype. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE haha

Shon

Personally i like a lot of the filler arc, some of the stories were written and animated pretty well, plus we get members of the side cast fleshed out. There are definitely pretty bad filler arcs but i think people are too biased when they hear filler, its just overshadowing the good

Ashley K

🫂 So sorry for your loss. May he rest in eternal peace 🙏🏻

Shon

Also, I wish they watched the movies :( Minato is in like 2 of them and they are so freaking good

bearuber

mecha naruto best filler 😂

Guy

Justice for Jack

jemmy

Carter lmaooo. GOATED

Shon

Where’s the link to the discord

Riley

Carter, I don't think that's a hot take, but I do definitely love Itachi and his story more than any other character in the show. You guys still have more to see from him! Also, if you binge again you should post the entirety of it, because I'm also wanting to binge!

Mysterious Figure

What made death feel slightly more bearable for me was turning towards people I love that are still here with me and taking every possible opportunity to acknowledge and show them how precious they are. In many ways life is about creating memories and giving something true to each other. What we give, the memories, they live as long as there are those that carry them along. So giving the most precious thing to each other - our time, is a beautiful thing to remember.

Shon

Absolutely not😂

Andy tee

Let's just all agree that these few episodes, the sasuke v itachi fight AND the jiraiya v pain fight are all GOATED episodes.

holyfuckingobito

Bro I'd literally PAY for some extra episodes 😭😭

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

I think that they don't NEED to start binging it with the next batch. Of course it would be better that way but it's not like it will cut off a fight or something like that. However, there is a big fight coming up that should definitely be binged

Michael H

All three of the OG Big Three (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece) have some serious peaks, and I’d still say One Piece is my favorite of the three, but I think Naruto has the biggest chunk of consecutive peak episodes out of all of them. This portion of the show is just so good, and it doesn’t let up for a long time.

Ante

If this was One Piece, Jiraiya's pulling up next ep with a band-aid on his throat LMAO.

Freja Holmberg

Lets aprecitate the goats Shikamaru and Iruka sensi who always are there for Naruto.

Billie

im so sorry merry and I hope you can heal but take your time grief is different for all <3

Billie

mods actually do great on that and the rules are pretty clear. whoever breaks it is on them, and its not common rn and anime specific channels people can spoil but thats your experience.

adabooo

yeah you can't spoil stuff on their server, maybe you were in some unofficial fan-server instead?

adabooo

i forgot how good these eps were. I am so happy for Jack that Killer Bee wasn't captured, Jack was about to die on that hill 😭❤️ Also, I think the Itachi & Sasuke episodes are better on a rewatch. The first time, I probably preferred these episodes over them too, but seeing the fight with hindsight, knowing Itachi's truth, makes a huge difference.

adabooo

😂😂😂

G

Glad you guys upgraded the subtitles

Audreyldo

For jiraya and itachi it hits way much more when you rewatch the scenes imo

iEnjoyReactions

PLEASE GIVE US ANOTHER BINGE (as mentioned at the very end). The next 4-5 batches are absolute cinema anyways. It would be the perfect time!

G

30:05. Wtf jack😂🤣

Kesendo

If you had been watching OG Naruto and the beginning of Shippuden with Naruto Kai, you’d be enjoying it much more since you guys struggle to stay engaged when the pacing is slow. I hope you at least switch to Naruto Kai later on when the pacing becomes an issue again, especially since you're using one pace when it drags.

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Agree! I somehow didn't cry for Jiraiya initially but rewatching it I always tear up. I was CRYING for Itachi though

Ayomide Salami

If we're debating, I support the hypothetical binge of this arc

Stanley Snyder

The convo between Madara and Sasuke is basically a straight up mirror of Cannon and Sasuke lol 😂 I’m lowkey glad Sasuke is literally answering his every questions there haha. One thing I like the most about Naruto series is how good they portrayed the villain’s pov. They always cooked with their reasoning, whether it’s right or wrong thing idk. Btw, appreciate the early drop thank u 🤩

J

Not a hot take at all, this show can be grating before it starts to narratively come together and earlier arcs get redeemed or are more enjoyed in hindsight.

Nathan

The storm is brewing

Sandi uchiha

That one time he said he asked his mom if she was in a genjutsu😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂CANNNON WHAT????

Sandi uchiha

Jack is our goat. Leave Jack alone

Dale Tucker

since when have they been watching One Pace?

MermaidMan

Carter, I completely understand what you mean bc my best friend kept harping on me to keep watching (Naruto was my first anime so it was weird to me) and there were lots of times where it felt stale but I don't regret it at all. The way I look at it now is you really just get to see Naruto grow up until this point and his development more so in a way where you cant just jump to this point yk? Like if you just imagine starting from any other point than where OG did it just wouldn't hit the same, and obv yall haven't gotten too far yet, but I'm glad you're starting to see the appeal lol that's what I've been waiting for.

adabooo

since Skypeia started (they watched few One Pace eps before that too tho) And yes I agree, Naruto Kai is a MUST for War Arc in my opinion, especially since Geks already had issues with the pacing in OG Naruto

adabooo

sorry for your loss. I hope you find some comfort, even in small ways, during this time. Sending you strength❤️

Shockbile Gaming

What are you talking a out they have been paying attention. Naruto Kai ruins the pace. The cuts are too bad and janky

Richie Sour

Not a hot take Carter, although I do really love the last two arcs, this current arc is my favorite in the whole show, and tbh it’s my favorite in all of anime This arc Chimera ant arc (Pick your favorite aot arc I would say beginning of season 4) The promised day All of vinland saga (my goat) A one piece arc I won’t say All are GOATED

Riley

vinland saga is literally the best thing i’ve ever read/watched

Usaid Munir

I'm so glad Carter has become a lot more invested in Naruto after these episodes. Need him locked in without thinking about the slow paced OG and initial shippuden. This is where the PEAK begins. This is where we start to get all of the pay offs from everything we've watched till now.

lololol

LMAO THE INTRO SKIP IS SO DUMB, SOLD THE WHOLE BAG

kuza

we are getting close to 162...

Kesendo

They’ve made it clear that bad pacing takes them out and even now in this batch, Carter is saying the show was "beating him into submission" throughout all of OG Naruto and the beginning of shippuden lol. Also I don’t think the naruto kai cuts were bad and people in their discord who have been watching it recently are advocating for it too, so I think it’s worth a try for them

Richie Sour

I think peak started at the shikamaru arc

Nami Swannn

unfortunately very true 😭

atseku

After this arc i think a dub vs sub comparison would be sick

studiogek

I totally agree I just mean everything up to this point could’ve been done a lot better and that’s what took me out but that points been made already. Obviously I think Naruto’s story should’ve started where it started and I would never want to just start here in the thick of it. A lot of og and shippuden beginning was just not too great but it’s really good now

Secretly

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion... but was OG really THAT unbearable. I really enjoyed OG even though first 2 arcs of Shippuden had a lot of flaws.

Secretly

Honestly it's less of a problem with the story and more a problem of how the Studio handled the weekly releases. 90% of the issues of OG Naruto and even early shippuden are not in the manga and have to do with a few pages lasting minutes for air time. Naruto manga is actually as fast as some fast pace anime like JJK.

MermaidMan

Well yeah I wasn’t talking about non canon lol I should’ve said that

MermaidMan

Yeah they definitely could’ve done a better job with the quality for sure

Richie Sour

I like OG it’s just inconsistent and the pacing was really tough at times, still enjoyable though

MermaidMan

Yeah and all the recaps oml 😭 but weekly release is what made that a problem idk why they haven’t just edited a lot of them out too

Matthew Valentine

when OG eventually gets remade in a few years the main criticisms I had with it will go away. And I’ve rewatched OG like 4 times, it’s really only the awful pacing at parts that ruin the long format watches.

Luke

U right but Substitution jutsu it’s literally that for Naruto tho 😭

Richie Sour

That’s fair not quite peak but it was definitely really good

dancc7

2 more weeks till PEAK

Shadow

There’s a large chunk of people that prefer OG

fay

oh my gosh im so excited for next week!! i hope they decide to binge itttt :)

llB0JANGLESll

The only reason you feel this way is because you didnt watch it during the period it aired. All comparable shonen during this time were like this. OG Naruto during this time was a cut above and it wasnt really close. You not watching older style shonen first, as your intro to anime, has affected your experience. You really should of started yout journey chronologically for the full effect but you had to live really.

MermaidMan

Lmao this is just a really bad take tbh I don’t think it matters that much at all. If everyone had the same experience the exact same way then we’d all think the same, like npcs and that’s just not plausible💀

Aden

Let’s gooo thank you guys

joe

you like the arc because it goes back to naruto. It ties up the jiraiya pain

Chiefzys

post the whole binge if you do another one please. you will be goated

Sloth

It was the start of peak. Everything from there was pretty much upwards. It pretty much set the standard for the rest of the series too.

O

Is there a reason why you don't add the video when you watch the non canon parts I notice you do it when you rewatch scenes too

Jc

Og naruto is incredible idk wtf this guys talking about. It’s better than shippuden

Liptrouski

it's good but shippuden clears

Karlsefni

think they’re still watching on crunchyroll - the sub script is just better for some episodes than others - wish the translation/dialogue was better up to this point but I think around this arc is when they become more consistent

Juan Avila

IMO idk how people can say OG is better than shippuden

Marcus D

Yes! imbedded videos are back!!!

JAN NARUTO

for me it's equal to shippuden, enjoyed it a lot. I even rewatch the OG fillers from time to time, they are hilarious

JAN NARUTO

og and og fillers are peak

JAN NARUTO

Such depressing first eps, hard to see my boy Naruto so sad

Kiyoh

dialogue in these episodes cooked if you read this carter, FWIW, you don't need to "feel bad" about disliking earlier parts of naruto. personally i hold the show in really high regard despite enjoying the first ~200ish episodes only marginally better than it seems you did. the peaks really hit for me and ended up outweighing them. but i didn't think much about it until i finished the show. probably reading too much into it, but i hope you don't feel at all like you can't hop on and off the metaphorical bandwagon. if anything, i feel a series with this many episodes makes that especially valid. as a rewatcher - i've been surprised in both ways. some episodes were rougher than i remember and some are even better than i remember. just my 2 cents

Marcus D

Most people I’ve come across like OG more but a lot of them grew up with it.

Karlsefni

@Brig Andrus - For the next two weeks - 4 episodes each are literally perfect stopping points - 159 being the stopping point for next week & 163 for the next - The week after I think is the best time to do the 10 episode binge so you guys can watch the climax of the arc all in one batch & yk what doesn't get split up into different reactions

Marcus D

Might be the most spoilery last 5 seconds of any opening 😂😭

JAN NARUTO

Cannon said in the discord they've already binged 8 eps after this

iEnjoyReactions

Oh word? Did he say whether or not they’ll post the whole 8 episode binge next week?

Karlsefni

@Jan Naruto - oh okay - that’s a good stopping point at least

Halo3

Goat

JAN NARUTO

@iEnjoyReactions He didn’t, and I don’t think they will but who knows🤣

adabooo

i feel like the boys might be slightly overstating how unbearable OG was for them. If you go back and watch their reactions to Chuunin Exams, Search for Tsunade, or even the big moments of Sasuke Retrieval Arc, they did seem to be enjoying their time a lot. Sure they had issues with pacing (especially in Sasuke Retrieval Arc), but during the highs of those arcs (Lee vs Gaara, Naruto vs Neji, Sasuke vs Gaara, Naruto vs Gaara, Naruto's Rasengan against Kabuto, Sannin deadlock battle, Itachi moments, Lee & Gaara vs Kimimaro, Naruto vs Sasuke..), they seemed hyped

Gyt

I do love his questions and yap but I agree his timing is not right and he have a habit of turning his head too so bro just missed the whole dialogues 😭

Xoul

So glad these episodes are finally to your pacing tolerance. Just a small question: Carter is dormant as in he doesn't want to get hyped up after all these good episodes because he's afraid of being let down again?????

Xoul

Absolutely, not even movies or series now a days can get emotial scenes to this level 🤧

Xoul

I think it's time to take that 2nd mic away from him like in the beginning of their reaction careers 🤣

studiogek

No not at all these last eps we watched almighty push and i was definitely hyped lol

Juan Avila

Oh dang, is 162 the last eps yall watched

Juan Avila

Well obviously, you said last eps I’m stupid lmao

Yugi

I feel Carter. For series with huge fan bases that praise them as the "best ever", it's often hard to understand why at first. Poor pacing, slow storytelling and plot holes etc.. With One Piece, I agonized through the first 300 episodes, gave up, gave it another chance later and i loved those eps. Expectations play a big role. Without the pressure and big expectations you might even have liked OG Naruto. (First 2 Shippuuden arcs would be a case for a remake). „One’s reality might be another’s illusion. We all live inside our own fantasies.“ - Itachi Uchiha

llB0JANGLESll

It's not about having a shallow or uninformed opinion—funny that your mind jumps there. It's about understanding the context of its time. Back then, this was simply the norm. Now, things have changed. Modern anime, having learned from the mistakes of their predecessors, tends to handle these elements with more care. So naturally, watching an older shonen with those outdated tropes can be a tough experience. But I feel like Carter is a smart enough guy to understand this context and give a more nuanced take, but he hasn't yet.

Juan Avila

@Ron Jackson Jr Sakura obviously

llB0JANGLESll

It's not really his fault, it's more of a "you had to be there" kind of thing. When Naruto was airing, most kids had grown up with DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Digimon, and Rurouni Kenshin. All of these shows had common anime tropes like slow pacing, flashbacks, and drawn-out storytelling. So when Naruto came along, we were already used to it. You either liked anime or you didn’t, so it wasn’t a big deal. What made Naruto special was that it brought a big, cohesive story with it. OG Naruto felt like a complete thought by Kishimoto. Hot take, if you remove the Pain Arc from Shippuden, OG Naruto tells a better story overall. It's no surprise that people who are introduced to anime now, starting with modern series and then working backward, struggle with older shows. They’re not used to the slower pacing and storytelling style of the time. It sucks that people play Monday morning quarterback with these trailblazing shonen. Holding older anime to modern standards just isn’t fair. That being said, Naruto, just like DBZ, has episodes that are timeless and can stand up against anything new. I just wish more people understood that and cut older series some slack. But I get it, you can’t force yourself to like something. I just think it’s important to have that context before saying, "If I had to rewatch OG right now, I’d..." That’s not a fair comparison. You don’t get the moments people love in modern anime without OG Naruto paving the way. It was phenomenal for its time.

JAN NARUTO

@IIB0JANGLESII Bro, your message should be pinned, and thanks for mentioning Rurouni Kenshin. That goat and GTO were the reasons I started watching Naruto. And you're right - Naruto is phenomenal, not just for its time, but even now when compared to other anime. Some of my friends started watching Naruto in their late 20s and loved it. Naruto truly transcends time, its themes are still so relatable today. I’m forever grateful for Naruto, it shaped my childhood and gave me that weekly anticipation for shonen episodes. I cherish every part of Naruto, every chapter, every filler, every ova ona movie etc. It's not just a show it’s a whole culture. Naruto is what made me love Bleach and OP and many other shows. NO NARUTO NO LIFE

Osvaldo

Delusional.

Osvaldo

I need a Naruto Kai version. As a kid and teen I could tolerate the flashbacks and needless yapping somewhat but now it’s much tougher.

KrisSto

Man i love how much Cannon loves Naruto the character it’s an easy highlight of these reactions

Yugi

That was my point, it's not his fault but our perception of when we watched OG Naruto. You hit the nail on the head, Land of Waves, Chuunin Exam, Sasuke Retrieval arcs are like the holy book of all new gen shonen. A remake for example would open up the world of Naruto to so many new people

jrnoodles

Thank you! I like how Cannon's obsessed about the 7 tails when they said they were only missing the 9 and 9 tails a couple times.

n Ferrante

How can carter say that Naruto Is for him now good but og is Not good 😂🤯

studiogek

I do understand this take and obviously it makes sense. Unfortunately even understanding that, it still exists and im just talking about what is in front of me. At the end of the day it is what it is

BleachWhenPlzzz

I mean just take double or triple money from me and drop the binge already lol

BleachWhenPlzzz

When that one person speaks out loud what everyone is lowkey thinking LMAO 🤣 (jk)

Lydia

Carter giving Naruto the golf clap am i dreaming? 🥹🥹🥹

Lydia

i will be here like a crazy person waiting for almighty push 🧎‍♀️‍➡️

Michael H

@BleachWhenPlzzz Bleach still has my favorite single arc of any of them. Soul Society will never be toppled 👍

Michael H

lol it’s sad how true that is

Gokū Burakku ゴクウブラック

yeah it totally makes sense for sasukes character to do that. he cherishes itachi more than the village, but he wont just go along and listen to what he says. hes been programmed his whole life by tsukuyomi to come back when he has that hatred. sasuke has been slowly falling into it, but he wont just do it as his brother said, he's going to do it his own way, but its fueled by his love for itachi.

Juan Avila

Who is bro bribing 💀🙏

Lydia

1000% agree 🥹

Marcus D

Cannon contributed to the opening’s “woah oh woah” but not because he was vibing 😂

Amare D.

Naruto and one piece about to cook with these arcs

Marcus D

OG has a different and nicer vibe to it but all of shippuden is clearly above it

Marcus D

Give a hint to the One piece one?

Renaldo Allard

Once you reach this ark everyone eventually loves Naruto cuz now it’s like you got an attachment to the characters and now the writing and everything starts to pick up and story lines connect. the topic of hate and peace is always so good coming from different perspectives

Yugi

Cannon stonks ↗️↗️↗️

itachi813

Why are so obsessed with my brother. Itachi. Narusasu Forever.

Kytan

what do we have to give for an extra drop ill do it 😭😭

itachi813

The crow scene so good.

Lydia

🫂

Kytan

one of the greatest arcs in all of anime i cannot wait to see you guys react to this

Melizé

LMAO! :caught:

Nick K

I do want to emphasize that anime openings lie all the time. Sometimes there are just plain spoilers, but a lot of the time it's just action teases of things you expect to happen anyways (even if they don't end up happening or not that way) or symbolic or out of context visuals that are only spoilery in hindsight.

Karlsefni

10 episodes of the arc left after your guys binge - (170-171) are filler - assuming you guys haven’t watched past 163 yet - if it’s not to much to ask - think a lot of us would recommend watching 5 & 5 the next couple of times you guys get together to react to Naruto. Its perfect in terms of good stopping points & not splitting anything up

eiden

I’ll slide the geks $20 to drop it NOW

Ordinary Guy

I can't believe we're almost there! A little bit more and we're PUSHING!

Kytan

they said they watched the next eight episodes which is a great stopping point

Karlsefni

yeah I mean the 10 episodes left after the 8 episode binge they just did 👍 - edited my comment so its more clear

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

@goatchis: Everyone I know watched it subbed. I’m personally happy they watched it subbed because I struggled to find reactioners who did, so I’ve never been able to watch a Naruto reaction before. To answer your question though, they prefer watching everything in its original source material. They also tried watching two episodes of Shippuden in dub and Carter and Cannon hated it so much that they ended up watching just one episode in dub. (I was immensely happy that day because I tried watching it with them and kept agonizing over the thought that they might enjoy it)

Nashi

Which one is promised day

Nashi

Nothing beats having grown up alongside Naruto. I watched OG when I was the same age as him, then reconnect with shippuden as a teen, again being the same age as Naruto and at the end of Shippuden I was 16 which I believe was his age at the time. It was a life journey

Nashi

YES

Nashi

I literally almost ripped my ears out with the "vessel" crap with Itachi, it almost messes up his whole thing with Sasuke

Richie Sour

One piece I’m not done with yet, or even close for that matter but it’s marineford so far The promised day arc is the last arc in full metal

MissJodles

For real, I was 8 when I first watched Naruto around ~2005 on TV and it was the last show on at 8:30pm every night before my bed time. I would BEG my parents to stay up to watch each next episode. Then I reconnected with anime in my teens and was watching Shippuden and keeping up with reading the manga all the way through to 2015 when I was 18. I felt like I’d grown up with him :’) The last few manga chapters had me crying just from the fact that a decade of my life was finally over with the characters I’d spent most of my life at the time with. That’s the magic of growing up with a show in real-time! Obviously the experience of watching the same show in 2025 as an adult is going to be a completely different thing, and that’s totally normal! Anime has come a long way and is so different and better paced nowadays. It’s just great that people can still experience this story, regardless of timing or nostalgia. Am really just happy the Geks are here watching shows from the Big Three all these years later :)

Nashi

For sure. It's awesome to have some moments in the series be so connected to a certain time in your life. It's a privilege not many people have

I love certain elements of OG a lot - the final fight at the valley of the end has some of my absolute favourite animation and direction; I love the Sasuke retrieval arc and the Chunin exams for highlighting the side characters in meaningful ways that I think gets a bit reduced in Shippuden (I wish more side characters got their arcs continued or completed better in Shippuden with the ways they were set up in OG); I love that in the early days, regular villagers and smaller missions and towns could get a lot of in-depth development (Waves arc for example); and of course the dynamic with Naruto and Sasuke still interacting with each other every episode and the excitement of that rivalry and them pushing each other to be their best is really satisfying. Shippuden expands the world and story so much and is absolutely fantastic, but sometimes it’s nice to go back to the small stakes and familiar small world of OG and those tightly written, meaningful character moments. All that said, Shippuden still has the highest highs that’s for sure.

the resolution quality is much worse this episode

Nice, both great arcs. MF is my favourite and I’m up to date but there’s plenty of great arcs to come so don’t worry.

No they spoil almost all the time, they suck

Thankyou everyone for your condolence😭 Sometimes, a single moment in life can completely change a person's perspective. A single moment in life can completely change a person's entire life. That single moment taught me how to forgive. It made me understand the true meaning of forgiveness from the heart. 😭😭 I was always afraid of the future. I used to worry about what would happen. But that one moment showed me, as if someone had placed a hand on my shoulder and said, "Look, you don't even know what will happen in the next second, and you're so worried about the future?"I can never forget that day's journey. The world was moving, but I was lost somewhere. That night, the moon was shining brightly, completely free from the clouds, and I kept looking at it with blurry eyes, searching for it throughout the entire journey. I kept thinking, "My dear brother is buried beneath the earth."😭💔

brog.

i dont think there is any reason to feel bad. this is by far the best stretch of the show so it makes sense that you like it far more.

I feel you Carter … this is the beginning of when I really got connected to the show. That last scene with Naruto and Jiraiya always sticks out in my mind when I think of the show.

Ari

one of the reason i love Naruto is we didnt see him as a strong character instantly. We see him train, we see his hard work. The more reason it's so special when he gets stronger. And yeah, i would have to agree that I actually didn't like OG that much as well, but I liked Shippuden since the beginning.. but as I've watched more episodes, and really go deep in the Naruto world, damn it's all worth it, it all make sense, it's a perfectly imperfect story and i honestly forgive all the bad episodes. It's just me.

Marlon

I'm confused about what's so bad about that intro... were you under the impression that naruto isn't going to fight the main antagonist of the arc? lol

Billie

Mason Schutz

Our main character fighting the main antagonist?? WHO WOULDA THOUGHT?!?

SilverB

Ya, with the complete mastering of sage mode more than jiraiya and the new outfit spoiler. Who would have thought Mr. Mad caps lock man?

Riya

What I love about naruto is how they show the actual training saga like when naruto learned the rasengan and now the sage mode

Half_-Face

Brother it literally spoils his sage mode drip

Ser Dunk the Tall

When Carter asked, "if you have the whole village take Pain, would they win," I thought, "would all of the NBA win against 6 LeBrons?"
