This season was a training arc where nothing really happened. There some funny moments here and there and character exposition but it really felt like Naruto filler. All of these episodes but the last one are almost parallel to the filler stretches of Shippuden that were pretty forgettable. That’s fine when there’s going to be an entire canon arc of action in between these filler stretches of a weekly anime. But this season is only 8 episodes and almost all of them are like this and one episode feels like it pushes the story forward. It’s kind of an insult to the viewer when their time feels wasted. I saw people saying this could have been a special and that for sure can be case. I think people would like this part of the story way more instead of padding for the final episode.
I don’t think the anime has fallen off or anything but this was disappointing.
