For those of us that follow the animated series on Youtube in Japanese with sub-titles, we all know that there has been an endless amount of filler episodes. It seems we are supposedly supposed to go back to the story time line after the Kakashi Gaiden airs (rumors have it that it will air this spring in Japan). With the way that Cartoon Network has been pushing replaying the series and airing newly English dubbed episodes in the last month or so, does anyone else get the feeling that the American broadcast of Naruto will skip the filler episodes? Post if you agree or disagree. If they do decide to skip the filler episodes, how does that make you feel? Do you want to just move on past the time lapse or did/do you enjoy the fillers? Explain how you feel. Personally, I get the feeling Cartoon Network might very well skip the filler episodes. I really hope they don't though. While I would like the story to follow the manga closely, I also enjoy the fillers as a way to get to know some of the secondary characters. Naruto has so many secondary characters, that their presence can at times make them a main character as well. Skipping the fillers would take away from the fan that likes Kiba or Chouji and would like more chances to see them go on missions.. or just interact with other characters. ... Your turn now.

I hope that for the fillers cartoonetwork show like 2 or 3 every weekend so they move by faster Hey 4, would not even be bad.... I want them to come on cn but don't want to be stuck on them forever like the people in Japan were.... I have hope that they will come but by very fast so Cartoonetwork gets to the time skip before the Japanese version is totally complete or at least in next year....

Yeah.. I would hate to have to watch month upon months of filler episodes (that I already seen lol)
It would be nice if CN can release the fillers as a special.. play an entire arc in one marathon. EX. Play the whole 'Curry Of Life' arc in one night. I think that took up a good 7 episodes to complete. It wouldn't be so bad to watch them in a block like that.. too much of each episode is wasted in re-capping and can be cut down a bit smaller to move the story along.

If CN does show the fillers, I hope they show 2 or 3 on the weekends instead of one. It'd take them forever to get past the fillers if they were only shown once a week.
I've just started getting into the fillers. To what episode do they go to? Somewhere I heard episode 215 and somewhere else it said 220.

I am currently up to waiting for Episode 218. It's in the middle of yet another mini arc. I can not see it being rounded up in two or three episodes either... They just got into it, so I am guessing at least 5 more episode for that to end.
I am HOPING the Kakashi Gaiden starts after this. I am looking forward to see that mini series animated and know that it's arrival will be followed with Part II.

The time skip (I guess that's part II) is supposed to air February 15. So, it shouldn't be too long before the fillers end. The Kakashi Gaiden sounds really interesting, though. I really need to start reading the manga.

I just cartoon network decides to be kind to American Naruto fans and give them the fillers as fast as possible maybe in marathons like you said girlundergrandi..... Because otherwise Naruto will seriouslt get dull in America...

That is why we have youtube! ^__^
So we can watch Naruto soon after it's aired in Japan.

Well seeing how it's going to be awhile till the new manga chapters are converted into anime episodes I wouldn't be surpised if they play them to fend off rabid Naruto fans. Though CN might surpise us all and skip all of that much like the skipped the filler arcs in Rurouni Kenshin.

That is exactly what I was thinking Tungsten. They totally railroaded the fillers to RK and I do not believe those ran even remotely as long as the fillers for Naruto.
Not to get into too much business/production talk, but I am sure you all have taken note to the fact that the toy company Ban Dai has been advertising like mad on CN. They manufacture toys for Naruto and Ben 10. I wonder if the pushing of toys sales is to help the cost of releasing new episodes in both English and Japanese at the same time.
I know it's such an off the wall theory, but I am sure within merchandise sales and ratings, the creators have to see that Naruto is at an all time popularity in the US. Might as well ride the wave while the going is good.

I really hope that they don't skip the fillers entirely. I enjoy the "curry of life" arc. A marathon like GUG suggested would . But how are they going to explain Lee getting drunk to the small children?

I think explaining Lee having an adverse reaction to alcohol is much easier than Konohamaru doing a face dive into Tsunade's breasts... or Jaraiya constantly boozing and having young women draped all over him.

I'd like to see how they're going to edit Konohamaru's run-in with Tsunade's chest, drunken Lee, and just about Jiraiya's everything. XD How many episodes do you think it's going to take the sub to first show Sai? He'll probably first appear at the end of one of the episodes. The first episode of the "Bug Arc Thing" was funny. The rest of it wasn't really interesting. Was episode 101 a filler, too? (the episode where Naruto and everyone try to find out what Kakashi really looks like)
