Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

Naruto is a gateway anime of the best kind. It's a good series, a cohesive vision of story and characterization that is very well done by all aspects, and which attempts to capitalize on its strengths by adding in parallels and visual storytelling. The normal anon can enjoy its themes which appeal to most for being universal. It isn't perfect but its good moments outweigh its flaws.

Not only that but this series serves as a breeding ground for passionate fans of all kinds - artists, analysts, cosplayers, kids and adults alike who engage in fun discussions both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all looking so damn cool, the jutsus, the unique snd memorable character designs, the whole ninja system and world building. Evetything about Naruto brings fans together, while the deep backstories, emphasis on the cycle of hatred, and overall relatability of the series make it fit right in with almost anyone and their sense of trying to find their place in the world. Exactly the kind of themes that invite people to share their experiences and have fun with the series.

Naruto is basically THE anime series that most people got into as kids and it shows by being so beloved here.
Keep sharing your love for Naruto, Anons!

Kishimoto stopped concerning himself with the consistency of power levels by the end.
Sasuke shouldn't be anywhere near Naruto's level.
If it was truly consistent, a single bijuudama should definitively take out a continent and he should practically be able to sustain Chakra infinitely.
>>
>>272579757
Toyotarou started working on Dragon Ball manga in early 80's, the manga quickly gained popularity and anime was announced. Toyotarou sensei suffered depression and writer's block, which lead him to take a 40 years long hiatus. Toyotoro suddenly appeared in 2024 and continued working as a mangaka. Needless to say, it was the happiest moment for any DB otaku

Boruto is the biggest proof of the dead internet theory.
It's clearly appalling dogshit, but for some reason it seems people like it (only) online.
The reason bots fake liking Boruto is because Naruto was popular, so they thought Boruto was gonna have a following. Being AI they aren't good at understanding how bad something like a manga is so they keep pushing and pretending there is a big group of people that reads and likes Boruto.
Only good thing was Sarada but they ruined her.

Couldn't you argue that Sakura needed the time to become mini-Tsunade? She doesn't have the prodigy excuse to pick it all up in a few weeks. Though you could probably just say she learns it in a matter of months thanks to being such a good student.

I never really considered Searching for Tsunade and Itachi and Kisame's arrival being part of the same arc even though the latter was basically the introduction to it.
>>
>>272585030
I liked the Kawaki/Kara arc for the most part. That is still the biggest highlight in Boruto and officially establishes the kind of story it wants to tell, even though people say the arc goes by too fast.

He was by far the best written character in the series until Itachi died. Then he became a fucking schizo who constantly flop flopped between antihero and a villain with no rhyme or reason like the author had no idea what to do with him.

He had some enjoyable bants at least.

>Pain wanted to be the only one with a nuke to maintain peace
No. While he did plan to ignite it himself the first time, the plan was to release the nuke into the world afterward for anyone to use. Of course, the plan was that peace would last for decades after the first use because of the overwhelming resulting pain, but eventually that would be forgotten, wars would yet again start, and the next time, and every time after that, it would be one of the warring nations who would end up using it again, starting the cycle over. His plan was for humanity itself to take charge of this cycle, not himself, beyond the first use.

Gaara was Kazekage at 15, only a 3 year age difference. I don't think actual age matters, just qualification.
>>
>>
>>272610093
and it's still an age difference.
and the kazekage position is inherited

but again, it's more naruto's immaturity for why i don't think he should be hokage at 12. i'm just saying there would've had to be a timeskip eventually so naruto could mature enough to become hokage.
there were 2 timeskips before naruto matured enough to become hokage
>>
>>272610457
You don't need a time skip to show maturity, that's the lazy way of doing it. Maturity can come from experience, not just getting older.
>>
>>272610517
>Maturity can come from experience, not just getting older.
sure but it also makes sense to say people gain more experience and maturity the more they live. people do mature with age since they have more experiences the more they live.

i'm saying this weirdly...
i'm pretty much saying the same things as you here.
i just think a timeskip would've made sense for naruto's goal of becoming hokage.
and you don't think it was necessary.

what does everyone here think?
should naruto have become hokage at 12?

Yeah it's just a matter of opinion / preference really. I think timeskips are just kind of lazy in general unless they actually have big / meaningful changes while happening. But then that's also kind of bad if we don't ever see them and it's all just off screen development.

can i ask you some other stuff too?

would you prefer if part 2 happened exactly the same but with no timeskip?

>>272610769
>the end, just like with 700 chapter, show teen Naruto in hokage attire
i'd be fine with that.
naruto matured in part 2 and showed he was capable of being hokage since the pain arc imo.
the war arcs were just icing on the cake.
especially since it's not like the hokage rules alone. he would have advisors too
>>
>>272610819
They should've had months pass between arcs with scenes throughout those months for those chapters. A time to breathe and expand on the world a little. Let the characters be their age.
>>
>>272610783
that's fair.
i honestly don't think much happened in the timeskip to warrant it.
naruto didn't get much stronger.
i will give you that.
>>
>>272610830
KibaNaru sexo!!!
>>
>>272610783
The timeskip we had was basically nothing.
>>
>>272610921
that would work.
thinking about it, the only real thing that happened in the timeskip was sauce getting stronger and leaving naruto behind.
and gaara becoming kazekage i guess.
is the point to make naruto feel left behind?
>>
>>272610968
It was to age everyone up. That's all it really accomplished
>>
>>272610819
Far as I can tell most if not all of Part 2's events could have happened without a timeskip, just thinking about the initial jump into Shippuden and I don't think the Kazekage Rescue changes at all if ages stay around the same but still have their new abilities, which in Naruto's case don't matter because he barely learned shit in like 3 years.
>>
>>272610647
Maybe not 12, I can see all of the events of Shippuden taking place in like a year in which case he'd be 13.
>>
Naruto should have aged Goku style. Kid-teen-adult with kids-grandpa. In the span of 700 chapters. Have him become hokage in the middle of manga, with badass flame coat, doing hokage stuff, getting respected by the villages, interacting with other kages, etc. Showing Naruto getting serious in a dosed way, learning the world, yearning respect, training. Have him alongside with Boruto to keep young audience entertained.
>>
>>272611001
>Naruto's case don't matter because he barely learned shit in like 3 years.
yeah.
so i guess the timeskip like a weird thing that didn't really accomplish much but it did slightly advance the world off screen.

This is why you have months take place between arcs. Have the training trip with Jiraiya take half a year, one at most.
>>
>>272611134
There is really nothing offensive about his character after he gets over his daddy issues, but he doesn't really tread new ground. At first, he was just a smarter version of Naruto, now he's just Sasuke.
>>
>>272611134
He is a flat character. Nothing from Hinata. Got spoonfed being an entitled brat. No struggles, manga doesn't even bother showing him training he just get it....because...ummmm...he is the main character

Lying is aggressive. The entire Boruto is Naruto movement is dripping with dishonesty. When you tell me to tolerate your posts, you are telling me to see Naruto when I look at you. I don't. I see your poor writing, I see your cash grabbing, I see your asspulls, I see your lower-than-fanfic trash concepts, I see your poor art style that reeks of a sub-par creators work, I see your taste is nothing more than unrepentant trash, I see your imitation of what Naruto fans find palatable, but more than this I see unwarranted aggression. I see the demand to dominate. I see acts of assertion and imperialist reeducation. You demand that I tell you 2+2=5 and when I refuse you become angry, aggressive, and seek my removal or destruction. You are bullies that want to assert yourselves over others but have no field in which your competitive except in social manipulation. You demand Naruto spaces, you demand Naruto aesthetics, you even demand the Naruto label. You even take this from the Naruto fans from which you wish you could take love and acceptance. You have gone beyond faggot. You have entered into pettiness and barbarism. Pastiche. Fraud. Imitation. Ersatz. You are dishonest, inauthentic, and aggressive. You are not, will never, can never, and should never be considered Naruto. You are the aggressor in every space, turning the conversation towards your hatred of Naruto and your poor writing, towards your lust to be better than Naruto. Your insistence on being called Naruto is your demand to be given the quality you were denied through your roleplaying as Naruto. You are the fan of glorified fanfic, and that is how you will die.

>>
>>272611134
I'm 50 episodes into the anime and Boruto is by far the worst aspect of the show. He's such a fucking twerp.

I only read Boruto manga, but HOW THE FUCK IS THE FIRST 60 SOMETHING EPISODES FILLER
LIKE WHAT
>>
>>272618472
It's not filler apparently, it's canon backstory that's only in the anime.
I don't know why or how it happened, but I guess Kishimoto gave it his seal of approval.
>>
>>272618472
The Boruto tries to establish the setting and characters by showing Boruto and his peers' time in the academy, when they become ninjas, and missions before adapting the Chunin Exams from the movie.

There is also the fact the Boruto manga is monthly, so it has to make loads of filler to widen the gap to not catch up.

Sakura was never getting off the Sauce dick. It's best that he moved on.

>He is obliged to marry Hinata because she believed in him or whatever.
Better than dying alone or going with someone who only liked him because of his war hero status.

>Hokage work backfired.
He preached and preached about the position throughout his childhood and finally got it. Being Hokage was never about chilling at a desk and looking powerful.

>Kids hate him.
Actually, his kids love him so much that they get angry when they don't have his attention. Even his adopted son loved him so much he sealed him in a another dimension because he was too precious for this dangerous world.

Hinata did nothing when Naruto was bullied by the whole village she started to show affection when Naruto was earning respect after the war. Now come to think Sakura is kinda shitty too, she only cried to Naruto because she was too weak to stop Sasuke herself. They just wait until the food comes on their plate not working on the relationship. OK.

Hot take but you can't enjoy Naruto when you're a stable adult, you need to be a little retarded or have a not developed brain yet. Or having some mental illness

Yes. Main self-insert for women is Sakura or Hinata.

Boruto teached us that we should never adopt kids, they are emotionally unstable cunts who will ruin your family. Kawaki destroyed Uzumaki family. Even worse, everyone will forget about it in the end. Ninja means to endure, I guess.
>>
>>272626226
Remember when in some novel it was stated Sakura had established the mental health clinic for kids. Where is it. Kawaki needs to be jailed in there for 24/7.

>>
>>272627117
It's worse because Boruto is canon, Kishimoto projected his problems on Naruto, a fantasy character whom can create copies of himself. Kishimoto projected his desire to be acknowledged on Naruto and it worked with zoomers, but how many zoomers are parents now? And gen alpha can't project themselves on Boruto, he is 12 and wants dad's attention. At this age most of kids focus on their hobbies, friends or studies.

I love Vegeta and Hiei, and they killed more innocent people than Sasuke. Vegeta's redemption actually felt natural and earned, while Hiei has his own moral code where he doesn't kill those weaker than him and is loyal to his allies. Sasuke has none of that and comes off as an unlikeable douche as a result

is the "aki" a cut off "akira"?
akira was a very influential film.
i could see naruto even being influenced by it.
both have superhuman children being used as weapons by the government/ruling system.

both contain a storyline about someone trying to put a stop to their old friend gone bad.
i could definitely see naruto and sauce's friendship being inspired by tetsuo's and kaneda's.

there might be some inspiration with gaara too outside this picture.
tetsuo became a power tripping cunt after gaining control over his paychic powers. he enjoyed killing. but he also has a moment (in the movie) where he shows fear after becoming a flesh monster and asks kaneda to save him iirc.
gaara was a power tripping cunt who got off on killing but also had a fear of dying.
he asks naruto to stop coming closer to him after losing. he's afraid naruto will kill him.

what's up with this uncanny picture of goku anyway?

>hiei doesn't kill those weaker than him
aren't most of his opponents weaker than him? and he kills them.

Kishimoto has confirmed that he's a big fan of Akira so it's a possibility

Interestingly enough, Gaara's voice actor is Akira Ishida.

And no, Sasuke/Naruto's thing is more like Rukawa/Sakuragi from Slam Dunk, if anything.

Gaara is literally Tetsuo but with red hair. Kishi also used stuff from Batman TAS and probably other influences as well.

He got so much from this character. The monster made of clay Gaara turns into, a crazy alter ego that makes him more powerful. His powers are literally a copy of Clayface's powers, he even got the fake death and the spiky ball shield that reacted to electricity.

I don't really like the way the eyes are drawn and placed there and I don't like the 5 tails design either with the red contrast with the eyes. It looks very unappealing to me

Just had a dream that:
>We get another Boruto era novel.
>This one stars Ino, but Naruto is also an important character.
>It's during Kawaki's time in the village.
>There is more history/backstory on Amegakure.
>The novel is overseen by Kishimoto.

I don't usually have dreams about this franchise, but I thought this was a bizarrely interesting and coherent premise. Thoughts?

I like that Jiraiya knows Naruto must be hurting but he also knows what's gonna happen in the future with people trying to come after him so he's trying to teach him to be independent

I concur, please upload your stuff somewhere

why are so many characters, especially females, unmarried and alone in Boruto?
>>
>>272641597
Because Kishimoto didn't marry them off in the last chapter and SP and Ikemoto don't want to step on any toes.

Both hiei and Vegeta (nowadays at least) are cliched as fuck. Introduced as villains and didn't have any necessary baggage to have any morality which is why people liked them initially and then turned them all good while keeping their personalities one dimensional. Vegeta especially after frieza saga is just a jobber to make Goku look better. Sasuke behaves like how an angry teen would in his situation which is exactly what he is. There is more to him that just the edge and his writer saw that potential in him and never relegated him to a secondary role like Vegeta and hiei were. Gaara is more similar to hiei and vegeta, except much milder.

That's the trope. The bait shonenturds always bite. Make a cool character a villain then turn them good so the low iq shonenturds can call that character development, without knowing what that word means. The main reason why Vegeta and Hiei are not as polarizing is because the MC self inserters don't feel insecure about them. Everybody knows that they are at best support characters and usually just jobbers. Similarly more people root for them because getting a good moment is rare between all the jobbing they do. They are either villains or fandom underdogs.

On the other hand, Sasuke is practically just as important to Naruto as the eponymous character is. If the show was not named Naruto it'd be difficult to tell who exactly was even the MC until 4th shinobi world war. That's exactly why Sasuke works, and exactly why shonenturds hate him. He doesn't provide the same comfort of the anti-hero that they have been conditioned to like.
>>
>>272652420
People strangely hate Sasuke for being emotional and call him emo as an insult when that's the most rational thing to do in his shoes. LIke his world is flipped upside down so many times and he's got such a heavy burden on his shoulders. How else is he supposed to react to those kinds of information? It's insane.

He's a brilliant character.
>>
>>272653260
The most emo character in the series is Nagato. Like the dude literally named himself PAIN and works through pierced corpses of his friends/enemies. but he isn't hated because he didn't carry any moral baggage in the audience's eyes because he was a villain, and later they gave him a sob story before killing him and shonenturds like that trope.

The only thing that I didn't like about Sasuke was that he was perhaps a little too cold while and after killing Danzo. For example, I would have him tell Karin that he is going to do anything for justice, instead of telling her that she was a burden and make it more obvious that Sasuke has guessed that Sakura is here to kill him when he goes for the kill. But those are the only changes i would have made to the character.
>>
>>272653982
I think the way he reacted to Karin signified that drastic change in his personality and how he had lost everything so he was forced to become like that and react like that. that's how I saw it
