    Don't confuse Nick's stupidity with the show.
    Then don't confuse fillers with the actual Naruto.

    Completely different. If Cartoon Network did some screwy censorship or poor marketing or did what they did with Avatar, I'd be like "Aww, sorry " We accept fillers are part of our show, why can't you accept yours?
    Fillers in Naruto don't count because they're not from the manga. If it's not from the manga, it doesn't count.

    This topic is about the shows if I remember correctly. Not the manga.
    There basicaly the same thing, are you mad because avatar doesnt have one.

    They're not the same thing, you just said the anime has 160 episodes of filler And in fact I'm EXTREMELY EXTREMELY happy Avatar doesn't have a manga, because this way WE don't have to sit through filler.
    Ya and instead you get to whine and complain about Nick.

    How long has Avatar been around?


    It's been airing since around 2004 I believe. But, the two creators were pitching the story around couple years before that.

    85 episode's and that was to get ready for Naruto shippuden. Avatar does have fillers it doesnt have as much becuase it had no time to waste because it's such as short show.

    They're actually pretty fattening, and are very sugary which is bad for people who suffer from diabetes. So, No. We can't agree on that.

    I don't think Naruto outdoes Avatar when it comes to character development or progression.

    The characters in Avatar are all well developed and focused on. It has been 200 episodes and two series and Naruto has hardly developed even half it's cast. Instead they spend time developing dead people or characters with no point (see Zaku), and the character backstories are far too melodramatic and often downright cheesy.

    Bleach hardly has any character development, and the story itself virtually disintegrates after the Soul Society Arc.

    Death Note is a completely different genre and has no relation.

    Since you keep asking...three years.

    However, what does length in timeline have much to do with it?

    You should shorten your posts.
    Heh, my fault for thinking reasonable conversation and discussion would occur here. What was I thinking?

    I find short and simple phrases to be the best way to get your point across. Observe:

    Quality > Quantity

    Sob story =/= better show (Naruto characters' pasts may seem more tragic because the show likes to emphasize this to drag out the story. Even 1-episode characters get backstories. Boring, irrelevant, cheesy, and a waste of time.)

    While Avatar has small faults (I'm big enough to admit that), I have never seen a single Narutard admit to their show's fallacies (there's quite a few). Instead they cover it up by either diverging the convo, insulting the accuser, or my personal favorite: blame it on the filler. It's like they have a filter that only sees the good and blocks all the ugly....or they could just be doing it to annoy Avatards.

    Those last 2 weren't simple phrases but here's one that is: which one has more awards?

    I hope you realize we're currently in the worst slump this forum's ever seen. There's our normal intelligent discussion elsewhere, but it's not like we don't have a right to complain anyway. Almost all the best users are banned, almost all of us moved onto another site. I did too, as a matter of fact. I was just checking up on the foruma and saw this and joined in.

    Ok so it takes them 4 years to make about 50 episodes? Seriously filler is better than nothing its a good time to give less important characters some screentime.

    Some of the best anime(I don't consider Avatar anime btw) were some of the shortest. FLCL was what? 6 episodes? FMA ran about 50 eppies. Bebop had maybe 25ish. Samurai Champloo was about 15 or so episodes.

    The phrase short but sweet comes to mind, right now.

    Because the manga is more informational and cuts out useless stuff. Btw the anime is great to I guess yoor story comprehension is too low o understand that.
    I never said I didn't like the show, I said I like Naruto but not more than Avatar. And I don't have the time to sit and read Naruto like that when I'm not too much of a fan of it in the first place. Also, I guess you place insulting people's story preferences over correct spelling. And you act like Naruto is college-level reading.

    Either way, its still fattening, and sugary. Cookies are the reason why Americas youth is so over weight. I blame the cookies

    So you admit Naruto wastes time.
    I said they had to prepair for shippuden thats why they put unnecisary fillers in there. Plus the anime was catching up to the manga.

    Avatar forums: usually just 5% but this week, I've had to shut down 10% of my brain just to deal with this Fail Week.

    The Naruto Forums on a basis: 7% but during the spamming of my thread, I had to shut down 15% of my brain

    The Spongebob Forums on a basis: 110% of my brain is shut down, I submit to mental retardation, in a thread full of misspelings and unreasonable rants, I sumbit.

    Correction, February 21st, 2005.

    Hey, it was well worth it.
    Also, it probably would've probably been over if Nickelodeon wasn't such a horrible program- they didn't even call back orders on the books that were supposed to arrive after the finale.
