It's a good series.
Yea for like 8-12 year olds just getting into anime. I think it's a fantastic start, but you should grow out of it and something as plotless as this shouldn't be any adults "favorite"
>>282853465I liked it but no it's not very good
>>282853597I'm an adult and my favorite series is One Piece
>>282853626You wouldn't like it if it wasn't good
>>282853639Yea One Piece fans tend to be mentally stunted so I'm not surprised.
>>282853639That's just sunk cost
I can appreciate it sometimes but the many flaws that keep rearing their head, like the repetitive characters, and strange world building make it harder to read each time.
>>282853597OG Naruto is actually a rather decent series.Shippuden is shounen trash.

>>282853657Unfortunately that's not how it works
>>282853465If you believe it
>>282854036Wait a minute....say those last two words again...
daily...
Chapter doko?
He didn't fucking get banned again, did he?
>>282854811I checked desuarchive for the last thread but I don’t see any ghostposts, so I think he’s just late, Kakashi-style
I was trying to go to sleep last night and my brain said 'didn't everyone in the infinite tsukuyomi shit themselves'The war was two days and then Naruto and Sasuke fought for a day and slept a night at least before performing the rat sign together. Your favorite character got yanked out of their ideal world to find that they had pooped themself. This should have been the villain origin story for a sequel.
>>282853465it's outright great for what it is
>>282855331I think a proper reaction to experiencing a perfect world then being forcibly removed from it could have set up some interesting character arcs if it wasn't the end of the series and if Kishimoto wasn't the writer
I’m too lazy to go on a real criticism about it but the Infinite Tsukuyomi making a perfect dream world never made much sense to me, since it should logically only be as developed as someone’s imagination can go and what they’ve experienced, like if you were stuck in some shittly-made video game whose world you’re basically boxed into forever But then again Edo Tensei zombies also completely break the setting by having infinite chakra for no real reason so who knows, maybe it really does just magic up a perfect world right from the aether
>>282854212Naruto? Naruto?
I can't tell if Naruto is actually that bad or if /a/ is just really harsh on it for some reason
>>282855749It might have the most wasted potential of any shonen, really
>>282855749it has a lot of bad writing and dumb setups but ultimately it doesn't matter because it was still interesting and landed the plane well enough. Could have been much better but it still stands out compared to majority it's peers and the general concept is a never ending mine for fan stuff
>>282855852God Itachi is so fucking cool
>>282855924Hashirama...Sasuke...Fugaku...Hiruzen...Kishimoto...
FRIENDSHIP!!! SASUKE YOU ARE MY FRIEND SASKE DATBAYO!!!!! SASKE !!!! FRIENDSHIP!!!!!!!!!
>>282855749it really depends what you want out of it.But part 2 goes really hard into retcons, asspulls, excessive concept retreading, erratic and sometimes incoherent plot, and deflating all the past series deaths with bringing back everyone as zombies.And kishi genuinely had no idea what to do with sasuke, before and after itachi's death.
>>282855749It was bad for its time but it's a masterpiece compared to all modern anime
>>282855852i casually stopped watching Naruto when the writers killed off Akatsuki for no good reason, to this day i don't know how that great war ended and i don't want to.
Nobody mattered outside of Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi and the rest of the Uchiggers.
>>282855749It's good only up until the 5 Kage Summit. Then it becomes shit
>9 bijuu and their humans>let's only meet 3 of them until the very endgenuinely wonder what kishi's editors thought about this
What do you think he did?
>>282853465Kishimoto kept the train on the tracks, while also finishing the plot. That's more than what most Shonen writers can say. And as much as contrarians won't admit it, the worldbuilding was good.
>>282858122>The worldbuilding was good How low is your bar?
>>282853755>Naruto gets a cool demon fox>everybody else gets dumb shit like a fat retard tanuki and a slughe really phoned it in with the design of the other tailed beasts
>>282853465in retrospect yeah it was. especially compared to battle shonen nowadays.
>>282858331kurama isn't even the coolest one, i'd even put the 8 tails at second.it's retarded the powers scaled off the tails though, instead of every beast being ambiguously stronger or weaker on context.
>>282858521>ape with tails>daruma face8 tails having pink skin, comedy eyes, and octopods tails makes it look silly
>>282853465>villain lays out his plan>naruto is in shambles>villain gets cocky>insults and threatens his friends>this bad boy kicks in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcshz4lBJPQ
