It also cuts time so you won't have to waste your time watching an episode if it's going to be a stupid filler. Now summaries like this, I have a problem with. That's way too long. Such summaries are too long indeed. Omnibender wrote: SuperSajuuk wrote: Watching the original Naruto episodes online to watch is trivial at most. No it isn't, because most of the sites have been shut down or the files removed from the respective hosting sites. Crunchyroll also does not have the original episodes available to all regions, so the recourse for many users is to purchase the DVD's.

Either you're extremely unlucky, or I am extremely lucky then. I don't have to look up old episodes often, but I honestly do not recall the last time Google failed to find me a site where I could watch the episodes, and those usually have the episodes in more than one hosting site. In the same boat. It's not that difficult to find such episodes on the internet.

Another thing: Who in this thread explicitly said (i.e. said, not implied, as people interpret things differently based on implications) we have to cut down episode and chapter articles like Wikipedia does them? I've read through these comments and I don't recall anyone explicitly saying such a thing. We just need to find a middle ground between articles that are too detailed like the Writhe article Saru and Rachin123 linked, and articles that are too short like Wikipedia's coverage of them. In other words, neither too detailed or too short. I applaud Murali9395's work and effort in creating original episodes summaries. Those are much better than what Wikipedia does. They just need to be trimmed down a bit, but not too much.

Also: are we going to decide on "synopsis" or "summary"? Because this just appears to be a debate as to how much information should be shown in chapter and episode articles.
