Im in the middle of the Chunin Exams - Episode 33. I expected different of this show.... but Im pleasantly surprised. I also havent noticed any filler except for the recap episode at the end of Part One. I guess theres a few minutes of flashback most episodes, but its really not too bad.

The only complaint I have is my suspension of disbelief is not buying how the whole ninja system works. The villages are cities within nations, basically military, and theres constant espionage and suspicion between villages (and so I assume also between the nations), but they allow children to take these dangerous exams in other nations to keep peace? And every nation has the same ninja hierarchy and graduation process? If Naruto had failed the exam in episode one, would Team Seven be short a person? And how old are these kids? I think Im one episode they mention Naruto was 12, but hes also 2-3 years older than his teammates, so are Sasuke and Sakura 10 year olds?

But I just ignore all that stuff, mostly. Im really enjoying it. I appreciate Netflixs skip recap feature.
