This anime is much better then the first series (naruto) the story is much more interesting and the fight scenes are much better also. The fillers do get annoying in Shippuuden but not nearly as annoying as Naruto's fillers did. Naruto Shippuuden is a typical shounen anime and I don't think that any of them should really get 10 overall. But Naruto/ and Shippuuden has just a warm and interesting story that you just cant help but love. One of my all time favorites for sure.
