Yeah probably.

So after reading the topic and asking about a couple of recommended shows she started watching Tiger & Bunny last night on Netflix. Only watched a couple episodes before switching back to Naruto but I think she enjoyed it. She felt bad for Wild Tiger being called old all the time when he isn't that old lol.

I don't think I've ever heard of a person who didn't like FMA.

But it's cool your wife loves One Piece. It's probably my favorite along with FMA.

I definitely understand not liking FMA. I actually think the character designs are pretty bad/boring. It took me a long time to get into it because I thought Ed and Al were dumb looking and everyone else looked dull. Once I actually forced myself to watch Brotherhood I recognized its greatness though

We finished Tiger and Bunny. She got really into it when Bunnys plotline got going and was a bug fan of Tiger.

Just a good enjoyable anime. Hopefully it gets a season 3 some day.

Makes me so nostalgic for when Naruto was actually good. I used to love that series so much and that part is either the best or second best part of the series to me.

Not sure what your library system is like, but you can sometimes request materials from other libraries in the same system and have it sent to your local one. It's convenient and less people use the service than you'd think. In the US, you can also go to public libraries outside your system and request to become a 'reciprocal borrower', if you're in good standing with your home library [i.e., you don't have any fines to pay, etc.].

Oh, so you don't have Funimation. That's a bummer. What's on Crunchyroll that I could recommend?

Uhhh, maybe the Ace Attorney anime if you're into that series, too.

If she liked that, then you could try Double Decker. It's on Crunchyroll, and it's by the same staff as Tiger & Bunny.

She might as well finish it because when that plotline gets resolved, it gets fairly close to the end of the story.

Just google the list of filled and skip it, everything else is great.

Or download Naruto Kai.

It cuts out all filler AND flashbacks.

Oh, Im talking about the Great Ninja War arc, where that plotline comes back and then fully gets resolved.

Thats more or less, the final arc of Naruto.

She is in the Sasuke retrieval arc so I warned her about when Filler Hell starts. But here is the thing, she often enjoys filler. Like she was really sad to find out the kakashi mask episode and Tsunade bathhouse episode are filler cause they were some of her favorite episodes.

She loves silly one shot character eps.

There's an entire season in Shippuden that's filler, the boat stuff.

It has to be skipped.

one off filler episodes can be entertaining on their own. the issue comes when you have entire arcs that are entirely filler. these are written by people other than the original author and usually have much weaker writing as a result. or, at the very least, different from the writing in the rest of the series. this is the main reason filler gets a bad reputation. the other issue is that these filler arcs or even standalone filler episodes taking place between events can disturb the flow of the plot.

for example, the arc you're currently talking about: in the manga sasuke wakes up from being attacked by itachi and he immediately freaks out and challenges naruto to a battle. he was in a mentally unstable state because of what the tsukuyomi did to him. this is what leads to the falling out of team 7 and sasuke leaving the village. in the anime, however, there's a short arc where team 7 goes to the land of tea and helps some guys win a race. sasuke is goofing off and, on top of that, is completely healthy... just going off on a mission and doing stuff. then when he returns from the mission he gets back into his hospital bed and starts freaking out. it makes a lot less sense for a multitude of reasons, but it also diminishes the main point that sasuke's behavior was a reaction to him waking up after being defeated by itachi, tortured for 72 hours, and then in a coma until the very next plot relevant scenes. instead, they have him wake up, go do a bunch of other stuff, and then come back and freak out.

Oh yeah I am well aware of why filler tends to be awful.

One Piece has the notorious filler episode where they find a Poneglyph (before Poneglyphs were introduced to the story) then never mention it again or tell Robin about it when she joins.

Shikamaru is now up there with Kakashi as her favorite characters. Still just finds Naruto annoying.

Is also very confused about Itachi's motivations.

She also finished the Kawaii Comples manga and really enjoyed it but wished it kept going. Really wished the anime kept going.
