Growing up, all the kids around me were into Naruto. Being the insufferable faggot I was, I refused to try and get into it because it was popular. I was really surprised to hear when it ended, I was under the impression it was going to be One Piece tier in length, since I didn't know better. I finally gave in, and decided to read it to see what it was all about.

I really enjoyed the heck out the first part. Some really memorable arc were Chunin Exams and Sasuke Retrieval, which were engaging the whole way through, but all the arcs were actually pretty good. I was pretty surprised with how entertained I was.

Shippuden started of pretty strong too, I remember specifically really liking the first chapter, and the Jiraya's fight against the Pains. To me, it's around when Naruto started training with Jiraya's shoulder frog things that I felt the series started declining in quality. The story just got less interesting, and -here's by biggest gripe- a lot of interesting characters were thrown away, and forgotten. Personally, I wanted to know more about the rest of the ninjas in Konoha like Rock Lee, Neji, Shino, Gaara etc. to be more involved in the story. Kind of like how Kishimoto handled Shikamaru's level of involvement. I thought one of Naruto's strengths was its strong cast, so that kinda ruined it for me. I mean, There are some good moments in Shippuden, like the Sasuke's final fight with Itachi, the arcs where they introduced Izanagi and Izanami, and especially the backstory of the First Hokage and Madara- all of those were great. But overall, Shippuden just got worse and worse, then ended in one giant shitfest with the Shinobi War and ultimately, Kaguya. It really felt like Kishimoto was rushing things.
So overall, very strong start with Naruto but it slowly fell off with Shippuden, though Shippuden did have its moments. At the very least, now I understand the hype behind Naruto. , and I admit it does deserve a lot of the praise it got.
>>
>>133737390
First couple were decent when it was actually about "ninjutsu." But around the chunin exam part it just became a ridiculous clusterfuck of superpowers.
Protip: Read the manga.
>>
>>133742843
There's no denying it, by the Pain arc Kishi was just growing tired of the whole thing. People call him a shit writer, but I think the reason Naruto stopped trying to develop characters outside of Team 7, Akatsuki and a few other heroes and villians was because Kishi stopped giving a fuck.

How else can you explain characters he had once invested so much time and effort in like Rock Lee and Neji getting sidelined? He just stopped giving a fuck about them. It could have ended on a much worse note though, at least the characters he chose to commit to were more or less well written
>inb4 >implying Sakura and Sasuke were well written

the naruto vs sasuke fight at the valley of the end(or more specifically episode 133) was the thing that got me into anime. even now it is one of my favorite anime episode ever.
i never hear people talk about it, so what did you guys think of that fight?
>>
>>133744542

One of the best fights in anime but still second to Naruto vs Pain.
>>
>>133737390
Naruto is actually pretty fucking good. Shippuden in the other hand... I would recommend to stay away from it.

not him, but it always bothered me that naruto is about superheroes fighting supervillains who all just call themselves ninjas for some reason

I mean of course they're going to have special abilities and whatnot but I would have enjoyed it more if the fights were a kind of spy vs spy type thing where its all about layers upon layers of misdirection. The fights that focused on that over random super power asspulls were always more fun to me.

I remember enjoying it.
Than it became a cancer.

I'm talking about high schoolers in public with Chunin vests type of cancer.
Than Cartoon network canceled the show and all of that started to disappear and was therefore confined to only conventions then.

Basically Naruto then is KnK now, except luckily I hopped off of both trains during the rush hour.

>>133737626
You can skip the filler now that it's over. And yes OP, do skip the filler, and do yourself a favor and don't watch Shippuden.
>>
>>133745456
Naruto had potential, and with the short battles and innovative abilities at the beginning, it had potential. I don't think that they realize the reason why people enjoy HxH, FMA, etc. more is because the fights are quick and rely on thinking as well as power. Then again, it outsells all of those pretty much except for maybe One Piece, so I guess they do still attract an audience even when they're critical failures, and that's all that really matters to a company.

>Naruto continues as an adventure series visiting all of the different regions of the Ninja world.

You like Masashi Kishimoto? His early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Naruto came out in '97, I think he really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole series has a clear, crisp plot, and a new sheen of legendary storytelling that really gives the subplot a big boost. He's been compared to Togashi, but I think Kishimoto has a far more intelligent, nihilistic sense of humor.

In '07, Huey released this, Naruto Shippuden, his most accomplished series. I think their undisputed masterpiece is The Pain arc, a storyline so awesome, most people probably don't read the subs. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of peace, and the importance of friend, it's also a personal statement about society itself.

I kind of wish a boruto series would try and become its own thing instead of a sequel to naruto. I like the world of naruto and think it has a lot to work with,so maybe having kishi try making a story that's more like pre chunin exam naruto using boruto would be cool. The older characters should just make rare cameos and shouldn't be too heavily involved in the plot
>>
Zabuza arc was probably the best one. Chuuni/Sasuke arc was okay but then everything went to shit starting Shippuden.

Because of filler and bad pacing. Unless of course you skip all fillers but it's kinda hard since the Anime adds filler in the same episodes as manga content sometimes.
They repeated Obito's flashback like 10 times, if Kakashi remembs Obito in 1 panel the anime would make it 10 minutes.

Also Kishimoto's arc is great.

The only parts i remember enjoying were when the edgy guy with glasses clogged some guy's arms with bugs while he was talking and when he couldn't stop laughing at a funeral or something. I'm pretty sure the second one was filler though.

Your life takes place in the US.

You apply for a profession in the army

You get the job.

You only ever work with the same people who took the test with you (except sai) and the instructors that worked at the time.

All the guys that work with you are from important families and inherited important names.
When a war happens there are a bunch of no names that you never met before but none of them are famous. ALL of the famous guys are from your generation.

All of them end up married with each other.

Wow this makes so much sense, sorry for being retarded how could I not realize all od this is perfectly believable.

>A manga which only focuses on the main character and people around him

Yeah, never been done before

Also, more character in Naruto is exactly what we needed.

Naruto is shit, but you're a such a fucking strawman right now.
>>
>>133760772
No you're the strawman. Focusing on a few people is okay but you want to make me believe that all the important sons of the main clans in konoha and other villages just happen to be all the same age, and they never meet anyone else from an important clan, and once they start actually working they're never paired with new people (except Sai) and they even end up all together as adults just because they happened to be in the same class once.

Dude.

What other manga does this?

A random shonen
In One Piece they keep meeting new pirates. They're not all the same age. The main crew sticks together because they are a crew, they're not part of a bigger organization that puts them together all the time for no actual reason besides "they're popular"
Another random shonen
in GTO all the students are roughly the same age, because they're in a fucking school.
This makes sense.
Except for Kanzaki, no one is special in any regard. It's not a class full of important names.
Once they stop being students they will likely live their own life and not marry each other
This is how life works

In Evengelion Shinji works with the other children. They are all the same age because that is the required age to pilot eva.
They are all of special status because they're chosen, as only a few people in the world can become pilots. They're part of a huge organization but they are the elite (or the victims, whatever) there aren't enough people in the world that can relate to them This makes sense.

Naruto - all the important names are the same age and they only work together even if there are obviously a lot of other same-level ninjas
that could have worked with them.

Sasuke is kidnapped? Only people of his age can chase him.
Wow.

Why don't you send the guys that took the test when Rock lee skipped it? Where are those guys?

Who cares, naruto is well written and I'm only being autistic, right?

Nice denial, fact is this doesn't make sense, deal with it

They also meet various ninja from other villages, and yeah it's so fucking weird for people who grew up together to work together later in life

>in GTO all the students are roughly the same age, because they're in a fucking school.

and ninja academy is what?

Also important clans, sasuke is the only uchiha, neji is a shit tier Hyuuga, Hinata had literally no character development until the end of manga, and has a younger sister who is more superior to her.
About the pairings, if you didn't notice, they are not random, there's a lot of tradition and shit in them, like InoShikaChou. third trained Jiraya, Jiraya trained Minato, Minato trainded Kakashi, Kakashi trained, Naruto.

That reminds me of one of my first critics about naruto

The central ideal at the start was that you can overcome your "low-born" and talentless status through hard work and dedication

Later we find that naruto is not some punk ass kid, he is the son of the fourth. It kinda diminishs this idea but whatever, lets roll with it

And then, he is now actually a fucking descendant of an god, destined to fight and be heroic

What the hell man, why did the autor pissed on his own storie

I don't think so. It's way too long, and the added scenes are bad fights or useless stuff most of the time. They even added shit in the fight themselves (like a whole scene between two hits with an awkward cut) and it just doesn't work. And the drawings as well as the animation are shitty.
Basically it's the opposite of the manga, since the manga excels at fast pacing and showing fast and brutal fights scenes that seem kinda real.

The anime adapted pretty much everything in the manga, then ran with it and made all those short cool one-page scenes last seemingly forever while adding new shit to make it last longer (and then proceeded to add straight-up filler episodes on top of that.) The slow as fuck pace makes it kinda painful for me to watch after reading the manga.

It was entertaining enough all the way until after the kage summit arc. All the jesus bullshit and fated reincarnations as well as mandatory juubi revival was too much. While shippuden is generally considered to be the beginning of the decline of the series it still has it's saving graces. Akatsuki were interesting and personally I found Sasuke psychopath shenanigans as well as his team to be entertaining. Then it all just kind of got tossed away in favor of big bads and muh prophesies. If anything series should've stopped gaining in power levels after the kage summit and ended with a climatic fight between new team 7 and team taka.

220 Episodes
127 of them are canon, 93 are filler.
Part I had 244 chapters.

>Naruto Part II
438 episodes so far
257 of them are canon, 181 are filler.
Part II had 456 chapters.

One episode is ~ 20 minutes.
There are less than 50 episodes a year due to Golden Week, breaks etc.

Most canon episodes cover about 2-3 chapters.
Going by this (and including all the pointless flashbacks in canon episodes), the anime should have taken less than 350 episodes to cover all 700 chapters.

There are 658 Naruto episodes out right now, 384 episodes are canon (which still contain flashbacks and some minor filler extended fighting scenes) and 274 episodes are filler.

274 episodes equal ~ 6 years.
We had 6 years of filler episodes in total until now and they are still doing more even though the manga ended over one year ago.
