An anime noob, an anime moderate, and an anime adept watch Naruto every week and try to decide if they even like it. (Spoiler: they do. Except for some characters.)

The hosts dive into Naruto Shippuden episodes 110 and 111, focusing on Mirai Sarutobi's mission alongside Kakashi and Guy. They recap Mirai and Tatsumi's search for a mythical hot spring to contact the dead, which leads them into a trap set by a follower of Hidan. The episode details the cult's deceptive reanimation ritual, Mirai's clever counter-strategy, and the timely intervention of Kakashi and Guy, concluding with reflections on memory, the future, and the surprising truth behind their mission.
This episode dives into Naruto Shippuden episodes 108 and 109. The hosts discuss a mysterious haunted inn where Mirai investigates peculiar occurrences alongside Tenten and Guy, featuring Tenten's hilarious prank and the truth behind the 'ghosts'. They then cover an episode where the team encounters a giant boulder blocking a hot spring, requiring help from Choji and recalling Asuma's teachings, culminating in a surprising reveal about the hot spring's true nature.
Episodes discussed: 106 & 107 They're fighting like cats and dogs! Mirai goes on an adventure with Kakashi and Guy as they take her on their 20-day long vacation/date. They try to relax, but she can't just let her guard down, can she? Especially when Kiba and Tamaki show up leading armies of cat and dog lovers in a war to prove who has the best pets. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 93-95 Finally, a nice little reprieve from the badness of the last arc. It's Family Day in the Leaf Village, so we follow the kids and their parents around for fun antics! A Jingle All the Way-esque toy hunt, an eating contest, and the return of a certain one-armed absentee father. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 88-92 Sometimes, you just gotta finish the arc you're not enjoying. So, we sprinted through five episodes, just to get mad at Onoki! It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 84 & 85 We're finally back with the new and improved Narushow! Or, just the continuation of an arc none of us really like. It's fine. Naruto tries to find a rock, helps another guy find a rock, and they move on. It's a pair of episodes, that's for sure! It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 82 & 83 So, sometimes Em doesn't watch the episodes until right before we record. And, sometimes, she runs out of time to watch them at all. This is one of those times. Good thing nothing important happens, like, oh, a former kage turning evil or anything. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 80 & 81 Honestly, we recorded this episode very late at night and I don't remember what in the hell anyone talked about. So, enjoy. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 76 & 77 Like yeah okay, Boruto and crew are off fighting a big snake. But the important thing to know is that we talk about horrifying "salads" for like three hours. It's NARUSHOW!
Tim is out this week, but good news! Taylor watched all of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Em is here to talk through it with him. Turns out? Heck of a TV show. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 74 & 75 We start with a fight between friends and end with a bunch of friends going on a mission to find their other friend. In between, there's some okay combat and a bunch of weird snake ladies giving strange missions to children. All in all, It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 72 & 73 Do you guys think that Mitsuke betrayed the village because he's evil, or he's just a normal character we're going to continue to love and adore for years to come? Guess we'll find out! It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 70 & 71 We may be back to the Leaf Village after the big good fight, but don't think that means the Boruto crew is going to be caught lacking! Metal Lee deals with the same brain issue as 2/3 of the Narushow cast, and then Boruto tries to figure out what's harder than diamonds. It's NARUSHOW!
Em is out this week, so it's time for Tim and Taylor to do one of their favorite deep dives...into the forums! This time around, the stalwart myanimelist dot net has become old news, so it's off to Reddit, where the most Reddit people of all time congregate, of course.
Episodes discussed: 63 & 64 We gotta go on a mission to save Naruto! The Hokage has been taken by the evil O...clan and are draining him of his chakra for their own evil needs! Good thing every Kage (and Sasuke (and Boruto)) are on their tail! This is some good Naruto right here. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 61 & 62 Finally, we get some action, baby. But first, Boruto has to feel bad (rightfully) about cheating and his dad needs to publicly shame him. But then, the big bads show up and it's time for things to get extremely real. It's NARUSHOW!
Well, here we are. 250 episodes into Narushow. So, we figured it'd be a good time to stop, take a breather, and look at how we're feeling about Boruto as a whole! Turns out we could...use a few improvements here and there. But it's not all doom and gloom! There's a lot to love. Back next week with a fully new episode of Narushow! It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 59 & 60 The tournament arc continues! We get Chocho vs. Shinki, we get Boruto vs. Shikadai, we get Sarada vs. Araya, we get Mitsuki vs. Shinki! All in all, a pile of excellent fights leading up to an...interesting finale. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 57 & 58 The Chunin exams are out in full force this week, first with a very poorly designed capture the flag match. But then! It's finally time! For! The TOURNAMENT ARC!!! Sure, it's gonna be short and not all that interesting but STILL WE'RE HERE BABY. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 55 & 56 Oh baby it's time for the Chunin Exams! The kids get ready to fight each other in extremely fair warfare, Sai and Shikadai unveil the beginnings of their dastardly testing plans, and the guys from the moon come down to Narutoland (which has Australia, by the way). It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 53 & 54 Finally, things are getting moving in Boruto. Naruto fails to show up to his daughter's birthday (kind of), Boruto gets mad, Sasuke shows up, and Boruto tries to learn the Rasengan (with not great results). It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 50-52 The thing about Sasuke is that he tends to bring plot progression with him. Which is fine, we guess. But until then, let's see how the new Team 7 deals with a mission they're not entirely prepared for. White Zetsu is back, baby. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 44-47 This is the most disappointed we've been in the Naruto universe in quite some time. After spending three full episodes setting up a really interesting, uniquely political premise it just....dashes it away. Classic. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 42 & 43 Turns out Boruto (the show) is kind of anti-capitalist! Not only is it pro-labor, it's also got thieves stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. But Boruto (the guy) probably has to learn that lesson. Will he do it? Find out! It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 40 & 41 Finally, Boruto gets its very own bridge arc. This time, it's not QUITE as cool as the Haku and Zabuza stuff, but hey, we'll take some actual plot progression while we can. At least Honorable Grandson got to do some cool stuff. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 284-286 Our little detour comes to an end, as Sasuke and Sakura figure out how to deal with the dinosaur army. Or are they dragons? Pretty sure they're dinosaurs. Either way, Sasuke makes friends with one of them. It's NARUSHOW!
Episodes discussed: 282 & 283 We decided to take a lil bit of a detour this week to talk about, well, Sasuke. And Sakura. And dinosaurs? Sure. Either way, this is all part of Em's plan to convince Tim and Taylor that Sasuke is somehow good. We'll see if it works. It's NARUSHOW!
