The Naruto anime series first aired on 3rd October of 2002 in Japan. Based on the original manga created by Masashi Kishimoto, it is one of the most popular anime series of all time.
What are fillers?
You are on this page for a reason, and that is to understand what parts of the Anime were based from the Manga. Because when you are watching Naruto for the first time, you might think “hey, this is very different from what I saw before.” The reason for this might be that the episode contains “fillers”. A filler is when the Anime episode is showing a story that is not based on the original manga. It is created to fill the gap, because sometimes the Manga is getting too close to the Anime episodes, giving more pressure to the Manga editorial teams to work harder.
This is why fillers exist, especially on extremely popular anime series, where a break is impossible to do, due to the big audience that demands a new episode every week.
Skip filler episodes
Some people dislike fillers and see it as a waist of time, we understand that, especially when you are binge watching a series you might become irritated by a slow-paced filler episode. In this case it is worth to skip fillers to watch the episode that are worth watching.
We made a complete list by analysing each episode and comparing it with the Manga. Be aware that some Episodes may contain partly filler content, and we have mentioned this as well in our episode list.
