A solid and very enjoyable series when it's adapting the manga content, and even improves on some of the manga's rough edges in some places (E.g. Removing the scene where Naruto intimidates Kawaki using a show of strength when he arrives at their home for the first time).
The animation in major battles and usually at some point in the 'anime canon' arcs make up for a less detailed art style than in Shippuden, and I find myself rewatching these clips (Naruto and Sasuke Vs Momoshiki, Sakura Vs Shin, Team 7 Vs Deepa, Kawaki Vs Garou etc.)
Unfortunately a lot of the 'anime canon' (which is mostly filler content, let's be honest) is often so uninteresting and uninspired it really brings the overall quality of the series down.
I find myself dropping the series every time I know there won't get manga content adapted for some time (judging by these episodes' scores this isn't a decision I regret) and picking up the episodes/arcs that score reasonably high in between (Inojin Vs Houki, for example).
I think this series will be enjoyed better in retrospect when the story is complete and people can choose whether they want to watch the 'anime canon' content rather than have to wait months at a time for good, high quality content.
