YOOOO~ I started Naruto weeks ago and there's tons of chapters that are fillers. Did you watch em all? Are they worth to watch? Still currently watching it and almost finished and imo, they ain't that bad like everyone else sayin'. I guess maybe most ppl just wanna continue the original story already but i might just watch all of em cuz im pretty curious, might find good or funny scenes in them kkkkkkk
Mod Edit: Megathread for Naruto filler discussion/which fillers are worth watching
well depends on which arc you're on . there are quite a few fillers in the pain are, but holy christ The Ninja War Arc was lined with them all over the place . but then again it might be becoz i watched them when it was ongoing (so weekly ) .......GOD it was painfull.......but most of the fillers are memories all it does show is scenes from past eps so for me it was hard pass, but you do you.
I'm speaking for the fillers pre-Shippuden here, since I just completed a second watch of Naruto (not Shippuden) without the fillers.
I actually enjoyed the fillers myself. It does get boring and draggy half the time because thats how shounen anime kind of end up becoming, but they did contribute to a great deal of character development especially the other side characters.
tldr: Watch the fillers if you want to see more of the other characters/teams/genin in Naruto but if you just wanna focus on the main quest of Naruto himself then skip it.

Im huge fan of naruto, it was a big part of my childhood. So like a month ago i started rewatching it for some nostalgia, than i remembered that almost half of the show is filler episodes, and i don't like fillers. So should i watch naruto fillers? I heard a lot of people saying that some filler arcs are actually good, but i also wanna hear you guys opinion on naruto fillers.
This is how I personally deal with fillers. If it's my first time watching an anime, I'll watch the whole anime fillers included. Then if I do go back and re-watch the anime I'll skip all the filler to save time.
Since you are re-watching it, I'd say it's ok to skip fillers. But since you haven't seen it in a while, there are some fun filler arcs that you might enjoy re-visiting. That being said, finding and distinguishing which filler arcs are actually enjoyable could be a hassle. An example of a good and enjoyable filler arc (which I personally really like) would be the 3-tails skirmish.

I watched every filler from Naruto and Naruto Shippuden and I'm not proud of it and I'm never going to get those days of my life back again
You should probably think about it differently. Since you kept on watching more movies, that must mean that you did enjoy watching them at the time, even if you perhaps wouldn't enjoy watching them now, and would consider them to be generally bad animes. Most movies are a form of fanservice, you watch the main series but crave more, so you're willing to sacrifice some of the quality in order to spend that little more time with the characters you love.
I did, but that was years ago. I wouldn't do it now. The OG Naruto fillers are awful. I remember the Shippuden ones being a little more bearable. Either way, I can't believe I would watch 10 - 15 eps of a filler arc just to finally watch Naruto shout and use Rasengan/Kyubi as plot armor to beat whatever poorly conceived bad guy.
I used to watch the filler arcs for most of the longer running shounens, and distinctly remember Hitman Reborn's being the absolute worst.
