I recently watched Naruto to the very end, after wandering off from the series for over 7 years.

It was good to come back but boy am I lucky that I lost interest for those 7+ years. They really milked the end of the series to the max. So. Much. Filler. I never watch filler because of its poor quality and insignificance but I can imagine how it must have felt when you watched the series week by week.

That said, since the series has ended, the filler didn't ruin the experience anymore. I was able coast through the end of the series comfortably with a filler guide in hand. With the ability to ignore the filler now days, Naruto is a good anime to watch. Yeah. I liked to see how it all ended.
