If there is an anime which destroyed its potential then Naruto: Shippuden will always be on top. Even though it had a fantastic start, they just ruined it completely in the end. Pointless sad backstories, fillers, way too much visible and major plot holes just destroyed this anime. I rewatched it 3 times but still dont get the point of 4th great ninja war, Madars ambition, and the point of Making itachi a hero, and making every villains a broken hero etc. It would have been great anime if the author actually put some thought and love into this one. I really like the og Naruto but no matter how much i try i cant like shippuden. I wont recommend watching it.
