Solid ride overall. Time skip Naruto is way better, and the Itachi/Sasuke stuff and the Pain arc are honestly some of the best shonen ever. Those arcs hit hard. War arc is long and gets a bit much with the power scaling, but the payoffs are worth it.

Characters are goated too. Sasuke, Itachi, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Obito all got great moments. But the other teams barely got any spotlight, like Team Guy, Team Kurenai, and Team 10 felt way too underused for how much potential they had. Sakura sucks.

The OST is amazing. Epic, sad, and it all hit just right. The music alone carries a lot of the big scenes and the openings clear the other Big 3 anime OPs, no contest. Animation is hit or miss, also lot of fillers, some are good tho.

Not perfect, but very good nostalgic for me as it is my first childhood anime and love it until now. Would recommend if you can commit to the long watch.
