It was crummy, that's all I know. I've tried to watch it twice. It didn't get any better.As for "quality always causes success", I say bollocks to that. It should be true, but it isn't. Mediocrity and simple, thoughtless enjoyability create success in most cases. If that's quality to you, by all means, take your Big Mac and Naruto episodes, and enjoy them. That's clearly not quality though, it's meaningless drivel providing temporary escapism/entertainment (Naruto being a prime example).Quality and success can go together, but your insistence that they always do is true nonsense.As for "originality", well, Naruto may be original, but to a pathetic degree by anime standards. It's certainly no Cowboy Bebop of FLCL now, in originality terms, is it?Now you're just making stuff up <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />It seems you have fallen victim to my Inflammatory Agenda, and gone off into a universe of your own, where you argue with things I've not said, but you can imagine I might say <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'm saying real bottom-of-the-barrel crap rots the brain and stunts the imagination. Not typical anime. Not even NGE or .//hack/SIGN, I admit, but Naruto's filler episode? Every minute of those you watched, are minutes that would have been better spent doing ANYTHING else, and you know it!On the contrary, as I've directly stated, lots of anime is great. Lots is trash. 90% of everything is crap, and anime is no exception. Do not agree? In the 1990s most anime reaching America was part of the 90%, not the 10%, do you not agree?</blockquote>
