2. Because everywhere you go anime related all people talk about is that show (and stuff thats even more annoying such as Melancholy of Haruhi). I'm tired of hearing about it and how its supposedly gods gift to anime. Its like those same people who blindly praise Halo 2 as being the best thing to happen to shooters when PC shooters have already done it all and more. Is it a decent shonen and enjoyable for the most part? Yeah. But theres nothing it did that shonen before it hasn't already done, and to me its vastly inferior to Dragonball, Yu Yu Hakusho, and One Piece. Also for the most part Naruto filler isn't very good at all, especially with over 100 strait episodes of it. I'd take One Pieces worst filler over the majority of Narutos.
yes your are so Freaking right
