This is an alright show, Characters are okay, setting is pretty decent fight scenes are nice but, there are two problems I have with it. (I'm at the Chunin exams with Sasuke Vs Gaara and it's good.)
1. The Flashbacks: Now, don't get me wrong, it is good to have them at specific times when they explain some their past but when it comes to combat ah hell no, like for example when someone is doing a move, a flashback is always present and it draws me out of it.
Fix:only use it when someone is monolouging about their past and leave for about a minute or so.
2. Fillers:they add nothing to the story and just feels dull, even the villains don't work and takes me out of the main storyline.
Fix: Only use Fillers to build up a story and just try to at least reference them when necessary or just cut them out entirely.
Overall: it's a good show with good storylines and well written Characters. Just skip the fillers and you'll be fine
