How many episodes in the Naruto series are there exactly?
∞
What a stupid thread.
I stopped watching Naruto & reading the manga when they started with the filler episodes.
I stopped watching Naruto when the first fight began in episode 1.
I really don't give a damn when you all stopped watching it, I just asked a simple question, and was expecting a simple answere. And before anyone says," Then why don't you find out yourself how many episodes there are if its so simple", I just thought that I would have gotten a more accurate answere here......haters
naruto should have ended after season 3. i stopped watching once i realized around season 2/3 that they would reuse plot and recap and use stock footage
Naruto more like dumbuto am i rigt
stock footage? explain a bit,this is new to me.
I stopped watching at 105 or so (just got behind) and never felt like starting back.
naruto getting too childish i rekn... same thing over and over.. compare it to other anime like bleach.. naruto is nuffin ! :P
i still watch it now and then when i get bored.. but not that much into it anymore like i used to
Naruto childish? Inconceivable!
Honestly?!! Till now no on replied to his question... and do you guys even know WHY there are fillers?!! I bet you don't... go figure it out and then you will understand the use of fillers. As to the number of episodes, I don't know, and would like to know.
Someone answer... please.
I dunno, it just doesn't seem to be a good idea to start a thread with a very specific question. Either people will answer it or not but if any discussion takes place (happens rarely in these cases but does), it usually significantly diverts from the original, very specific topic.
I just wanted to know how many episodes there are because, one site I went to had about 150, another 200,another had even more, so I was just curious.
Right now there are 154 episodes but there is going to be ∞ episodes.

Filler episodes are used to strecth the source material so that it takes up more screen time. A filler episode is usually lighter in tone and contains more "fan-service" than the regular episodes but has no real effect on the major story line.
There are a couple major reasons for filler episodes. 1: to lighten the mood of the show. If things get too dark/emotional/tense the audiance grows tired of it and stops watching. A comedy/fan-service break will keep the audiance's attention. 2: To fill the contract. Series are licensed for a particular number of episodes (or episodes/season). The shows are paced so that the big moment of the show happens just before the contract runs out.
Episode 51 of Bleach (another long running series) is a good example of a filler episode.
Flashback episodes (a particular type of filler) reuses old footage and has little (if any) new animation. This is to give the animators a little break.
Long series like the Dragon Ball series and Naruto tend to start feeling like Great Expectations. Dragged out to point of being very tedious. I know I've reached my limit when I wish one of the main characters would die so the story will move on.
