    Sorry but I can't just ignore the fact it takes 4 months for 1 episode to come out despite whose fault it is.
    one GOOD episode. Your Naruto fillers suck.

    Exactly. At least what we have is worth waiting for. And don't you dare blame the hiatus on the show itself.

    Meh, a mere difference in opinion.

    I personally don't mind fillers from any anime.

    Sorry, but that's just shallow.

    *shrug* That's the kind of thing that gets to some people.

    Believe it!

    Sorry, I couldn't help it. Nobody said it yet.

    Probably because it's been over a hundred episodes since that's been said.

    Coming to another show's forum to gloat about your own is kind of shallow, isn't it?

    Not really? 1 episode then 4 months waiting? I would rather have a few filler than possible 30 episodes in a row no filler.

    Prove it.
    They are able to spend twice on much to make the show that should say something.

    Here's a change of pace, how about we hear the Naruto and Bleach people talk about what they DON'T like with their show? I'm not afraid to say what sounds corny, nonsensical, or whatever in Avatar. Are the other fans real enough with themselves to do the same to their beloved shows?
    Personally I don't like friendship speeches and fillers. What about you?
    One of the points of Avatar is friendship, and since you don't like fillers you don't like the majority of Naruto.
    Less than half, if not less than a quarter, of Naruto is filler.
    And Avatar has only about 2 episodes in the entire series that are total filler.
    Ok but Avatar takes forever to release episodes. At least Naruto releases episodes even if they are filler.
    The episodes were done long ago, Nickelodeon just isn't airing them b/c the executives are stupid. Also, Avatar doesnt have a manga or previous source so all the episodes need a script first. Thirdly, each episode of Avatar is its own piece of work. Animation is also more popular in Japan and its probably cheaper to produce an episode.
    Um...no Each naruto episode costs about 2 million. The reason it gets away with such a stagering cost is because the fanbase makes up for it, and the studio has TONS AND TONS of money, plus they have the manga that offsets costs.
    Its a bigger industry in Japan then.

    Quality>Quantity

    Ya large quanities of money produces the quality that is Naruto.
    Money doesn't equal quality. Thats why big blockbuster summer movies usually do poorly in the Academy Awards compared to independent and smaller budget films.
    Really now? Then what about those high budget comedy films. Superhero films. Saving Private Ryan. High budget, won every award it was nominated for.

    Nah, he said it again last Saturday in filler #22 or something. But anyway, it's just jokes, man. I do that from time to time.

    I tried to watch Naruto once or twice but I couldn't get into it. But I've fallen in love with Avatar. I consider it one of the best shows I've ever seen. And I'm sure that you Naruto fans feel the same way about your show. And while I've just skimmed most of the posts on this thread, it seems like the Naruto fans tend to take fault in there only being three seasons of Avatar. Well, I'd have to say that I'm very glad that they didn't try and milk this series into fifteen seasons. Because of the limited time frame the show has a sense of urgency throughout and this helps to draw you into it. And while I haven't seen much of Naruto, I grew up watching Dragonball Z and I simply cannot handle any more fight scenes that last for several episodes.

    As for nitpicking the hiatus, come on. Grow up. Naruto had a manga to draw from, and so they could pump out episodes. Avatar kept it amazing production values and has suffered from delays, as well as being plagued by being broadcast on a horrible network. If you can't find a better fault than "it has too long of gaps between episodes," then I'd say that this debate is about over.

    In all honesty, though, the idea of this thread is stupid. Because going in to this debate I knew that I couldn't be convinced that Avatar is inferior to Naruto, just as Naruto fans will not be convinced that Avatar is superior. I did get a few chuckles out of it though, so I guess it wasn't completely pointless. Just be glad that we have shows that are good enough to fight over, right?

    Not shrill. Like other characters voiced by women, like. . . oh maybe Katara and Toph.

    How is it shallow Naruto's voice is annoying and I'd rather listen to Barney singing the "I Love You" song. His voice is that bad

    No, we've already established that in Japan, animation is a much larger industry. It's like us being able to spend $60 million dollars for a guy to throw a round ball through a hoop. Different primary enertainment focus means money goes elsewhere.
