Naruto is not cool.

that is hardly the reason why we hate it. they can do whatever the hell they want, as long as they do it well. TMNT, for instance, is done well. naruto is a giant piece of crap.

the anime is only so-so, even as japanese subbed. the manga isn't that good either, with the exception of a few arcs.

i can see how you'd think that, alot of anime and manga is like that, but not all of it.

 

Well, I used to be a deathly loyal servant to the English Naruto Anime. Then I realized that it existed in Japanese format on the intraweb. So then the english sucked in comparison. Then I realized that the story existed in manga format on the intraweb as well. Then the Japanese anime wasn't as shiny anymore. Then Shippuden was realized, and now I don't like the Japanese anime at all. And to top it all off, the manga has gone south with its current 'UberSasuke' arc, so I'm not liking it that much either.

Was 10/10. Now 3/10.

 

What is Naruto?

Could someone explain to me what it is in some simple sentences that i could understand even if i don't know what that kind of stuf is?

 

Long story short: Yellow haired ninja boy has a demon inside him, he wants to be leader of city/town/whatever but everyone thinks he's a douche and won't amount to anything and the whole series is devoted to him showing he has worth even though he is the host of a demon fox. While at the same time, has friend/enemy who is pissed off because his brother killed his clan and ends up going to the dark side to seek his revenge

 

And subsequently gets powers so amazingly defiant of the laws of a manga, he can survive explosions that obliterated everything in a ten kilometer radius. I can't stand that emo-kid's resistance to his own death. It's why the manga is heading south.

 

because if they don't base it on the real thing, that would be a different thing. if the creators chose to let them fight face to face and make those hand signals, they should not be called ninjas because their personality and fighting styles does not match those of the real ninjas.

 

Explain how two ninja would stealhily dispatch of each other without the two knowing that the other was there. Kind of a pardox, eh?

 

Ohh now I know a bit more of what it's all about.

 

wrong, if you ignore everything after episode 30, then it's good. chunin exam was crap, the part with jariya was below average, and everything after that was retarded and horrible

you exagerate too much. two ninja in the dead of night using silent and deadly moves on each other. instead of spending 5 minutes explaning a move before you use it, the ninjas would explain to their employers how they won, after the fight.

 

BELIEVE IT!

 

Well I just wanted to post a link to a website I found if anyone is interested in some of the animes they are talking about in this thread. Youtube keeps deleting anime due to copyright shananagens so this is a nice alternative.

http://www.narutowow.com

It has all the Bleach and Naruto Episodes released to date. Theres also Eureka 7, Full Metal, Samurai Champloo and some others in there.

There are definitely some better written animes out there then Naruto, but its still a pretty entertaining series.

 

www.crunchyroll.com is good too .

 

Sigh poor naruto I like him. and yes I am going to say, this Garaa kicks total ass! I don't like Susuke at all however and I hope he dies like the fourth did. Selling his soul and still losing. Why does everyone bash on Naruto BASH ON THAT STUPID BO-BO BO BO-BO-BO SHOW! OMFG I HATE THAT SHOW! DIE BO BO-BO-BO DIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!! So please every time you bash on Naruto your mother is killed by karma and then cloned again waiting for you to bash on Naruto then comes your Dad. Why does god have to be so cruel to Naruto bashers? (thats why Naruto kicks ass!)

 

Bleach is much bettter

 

yea, i agree, i prefer full metal alchemist anytime

 

i still watch it, just for the fact that im waiting to see naruto do some real damage and whip out some crazy move

 

I like naruto, I watch the new shippuden episodes ever week online. The anime is great except for the filler empire that started after sasuke left......idiot. DARN THE FILLER EMPIRE, YOU WIN AGAIN!

I wonder what happened that the naruto show didn't air last week, and took them forever to air the last one, even if it was an hour special.

When it comes to anime, we American's are royaly boned. The english naruto is 2 years behind its Japaness counterpart, wtf American censors. I also hate the fact that censors ruin all the good stuff found in anime shows, they ruin the whole episode by airing out all the violence and swearing. How is that fun?!?!

 

I like Naruto. True, it's unrealistic, what with ninjas in orange jumpsuits and kids running aroudn screaming "omfg i'm teh 1337 awesome", but the show has a good plot and I, personally, like the insanity. It's good to see variety, and I suppose that's really what naruto is. Bunch of kids runnign around fighting older, creepeir ninjas with the obsession to kill/maim/torture their way to the lead. Yet, there are [obviously] better anime shows than Naruto. Bleach, for example, is pretty well rounded. Death Gods are cool. Haarvesting souls, killing evil spirits and invading a pompous society of people who think you are just a rouge deathgod=win. But, let us not forget the fillers [that's why i stopped watching...even though Bleach fillers are far superior to naruto fillers]. The best anime I have seen is Deathnote. wheras Bleach and Naruto center around kickign around foes with ungodly, at-the-las-minute-obtained powers, deathnote is skill and intelligence. Still, don't get me wrong. I AM a narutard.

 

Bleach is a cool show, but I can never shake the feeling that it could be MUCH better if it was made in a darker, more serious tone. And everytime I rewatch any of the Soul Society rescue arc episodes I start wondering why the hell do they need such a big city for a couple of death gods that you see. Not to mention that it's full of contradictions.
It's still cool to watch though ;D

Yeah, death note is a really good anime. I got tired of it after the first season though (when Light manages to kill off L) because the plot got kind of stupid. But the first season was simply amazing.

 

SPOILERS

^-^ I liked the last episode of Deathnote. I though Light was cool, though he was seriosuly acting weird when he got the deathnote. Still, i wanted him to win...

Yes, Bleach needed to get a bit deeper. The problem with Bleach and Naruto is that that both ichigo and naruto gain powers at the moment they need it, like DBZ. not that anything is wrong with DBZ, only that thqat kind of plot has already been introuduced, and it showed tht even loyal DB fans will stop watchign because of the series being redundant.
