It has provided valuable information and some really good power ups. We've also got to see the characters progress. Is it really that bad ?

A lot of potential fights didn't happen how they wanted them to or didn't happen at all.

Well for me, I don't mind it much, but it started in 2010. I guess it feels a bit dragged out, despite the peak moments in between.

It took four years. There were potential fights that could have been covered instead of having to use excessive fillers.

I still can't believe it was really that long ago. I triple checked before I posted anything.
Wow I hadn't even noticed, this arc is prehistoric

lol I know, I really couldn't believe it myself. When I first got into it again (life got in the way) it was at chapter 614, so I had to go back to catch up, and never checked the actual date.

Frankly speaking this war arc is 'good written arc' from Naruto, but it pales when compared to war arcs from few other mangas, with which Naruto is compared usually.
Where it fails, here is a list of points from my side.
1. Very few known characters died: When it is war, people expect sacrifices and death of secondary or major secondary characters, and that's where this war arc failed. The only character which died during this war is Neji, and Kishi missed 'giving nice ending' to two main characters, Gai and Tsunade.
2. Few panels were just unnecessary: Common example being the panel where everyone pushes them bijuus out. It was completely unnecessary, rather Kishi would have reduced the length of many chapters if he would have taken out few panels and avoided repetitions.
3. Inconsistency in roles of characters: Many characters wasn't able to deliver when it is expected that they should at least give a try or were completely off-panel for number of chapters. Common example being Killer Bee going off panel for number of chapters.
And many other reasons, currently leaving these few points.U_U

First off, the war arc has been going on for too long. WHen it began, I was still in high school.(now I am 2nd year uni). Second of of all, it basically became 2 men vs 1000s, and most shinobis are currently doing nothing. basically it's now a simple fight not a war. And the business with obito and rin was disgusting.
