Naruto question

[timepiececlock]

If I've already read a considerable portion of the manga, is it worth it to start watching the new anime? If so, when should I pick it up again to skip all the boring re-introductions?



And, on a random note, things I wish I got to say more often in conversation:

Everyone loves a happy medium.
You anti-semantic bastard.
But now what do I do about the bubbles?

I don't know.

I do think that anime and manga are kind of incompatable, in that I'm reading Shippudden right now, which is (the only) place I was watching chronologically, and now I'm trying to read that in the manga and being like, 'oh, god, do I HAVE to?' about it.

How can you be reading both?

For the first several seasons Naruto was directly from the manga, scene for scene, then it had an insane amount of fillers. I was hoping the new series would be in the same vein follow the manga, but others have told me it has filler as well.

I like to think of the anime as manga+filler most of the time, since they don't usually change anything, just add. At least in the old series.

I don't get angsty about reading the manga, because it's so quick. I read 20 chapters yesterday, and I'll read even more tonight, and I'll probably be caught up 70 chapters by Monday night.

Oops. I mean, I WATCHED the beginning of Shippudden, and now I'm having trouble getting into reading it. *blushes*
