I'm not talking about the movie just the shippuden anime.

the reason I consider this the worst year for the shippuden anime is because of both the ridiculous amount filler and the horrible execution of the canon (Madara vs Might Guy). nobody can tell me the Madara VS Guy fight wasn't the most disappointing naruto fight in recent memory. the reason I think this is because of how much the fight was slowed down, in the manga the fight was epic because it was a rush of action, it was fast paced however the anime adaptation of this fight was awful. I think the best way to see how disappointing this fight really was is to play the rock lee vs Gaara fight right next to it, Rock Lee felt fast, agile, impressive, his attacks felt like they had actual impact. Might Guy felt sluggish, slow and stiff for most of the fight.

Naruto and Sasuke VS Madara wasn't much better, well it wasn't as bad as the might guy fight it still felt pretty disappointing. All the attacks lacked the impact they had in the manga.

and then there's the filler, I'm not even going to talk about this as we all know why they suck by this point and I have nothing new to say about the filler that hasn't been said a million times before.

I used to have a lot of passion for this anime, it used to be my favourite anime of all time, but the filler and the poor execution of the canon has nearly completely drained me of a lot of the passion and love I used to have for this series.
