    I used to enjoy Naruto, it's a fun show. Now I can't stand it. There's just way too much damn filler - all the time with meaningless crap that does nothing for the story, which is actually interesting. With the beginning of Shippuuden I wanted to get back into it but I could not.
    So I'll go with orginal, I guess.

    From what I've seen, honestly, Shipuuden seems better.

    I'm going to have to go with the original series over Shippuden.  It could just be I'm starting to tire of the story, considering it has been going for so long, or possibly just my taste changing.  I don't know what it is but I just don't care as much anymore.  Don't get me wrong, I still like it and everything, but I no longer consider myself "obsessed".  Even so I genuinely believe that the original series was miles better than Shippuden.

    Oh, and how many times can you stand hearing Naruto scream "Rasengan!" before you want him to just shut up?  --I know I've reached my limit already!

    The original version was complete shit. Shippuuden is at least a lot more mature, but is still a crap show to anyone with taste.

    Shippuden is better.  New techniques, more details into the storyline, etc.  At least this one doesn't have seasons of fillers....

    Jayge+BigBoss1911- Says the people who for some unknown reason decided to look up Naruto then say they hate it, sounds fishy.

    Saw it on recent topics list, decided to weigh in. Never said I hate it, fanboy. I read the manga every week. Much better than the shitty cartoon.

    I read the Manga a bit, i'm gonna start reading it every week once i'm waiting for the next Shippuuden to come out. Btw the Anime is not shitty, it's certainly better than all the other crap on TV.

    The anime is definitely shitty. I don't know where you have it on TV, but if it's the English dub, and you think it's some form of good cartoon, or anime, or both, I pitty your lack of experience with the medium.

    Well i have to say Shippuuden the orignal has way to many dumb fillers thats just the same story over and over again Naruto meets someone without any hope and are just jerks until naruto finally changes them.

    Shippuden has it's ups and downs, but it's ups far surpass it's downs...
    the original series started out awesome and then just went into one big downslide around episode 85
     
    Shippuden is better, miles better.

    Why in the holy mother of ass did this get bumped for?
     
     
    On Topic:  Shippuden is hell of a lot better then the first series.  Either way, read the manga.  It's a lot better.
