Lol funny because I'm the opposite. Shippuden is just ridiculous right now
At least its more entertaining to a certain degree. The fights are pretty cool. Not the best Ive seen but ive enjoyed watching them. OG Naruto had to much of the older ninjas coming in to save the day, or Naruto accidentally beating somebody because Kurama was all "Fuk u i wun be free".
Where as in shippuden:
Naruto actually advances of his own accord. Sage mode, Wind style rasenshuriken. He's less of an annoying child now.
Sakura is useful
They dropped the whole trying to save Sasuke theme. I know its still there but its not the center point anymore
Orochimaru is no longer the go to bad guy. Thank god.
Pretty much all the characters can handle themselves now and dont need saving. Shit even Hinata can beat the shit out of a good number of enemies. Choji, Ino, and Shikamaru are all just about on par with their parents.
The whole re-animation of all previous ninja is good and bad at the same time. Its good because it's a metaphorical manifestation of trying to fight the ghosts of the past to begin a new world where ninja wars arent a thing. It's bad, because you can tell when the writers get desperate. "Shit these characters are all out of tricks and were running out of named bad guys. What can we do!??"
"How about..........we give them a sharingan.........AND A RINNEGAN!"
Then Masashi Kishimoto is all
