Why the hate?
>>284640049It's too old and too long
>>284640049It's kinda just not very well written That's the whole of it
>>284640049still better than one piece
>>284640182...No
>>284640049/a/ hates anything that's popular, Frieren, SnK, JJK, MHA, etc
>>284640049I love to hate Naruto.
Naruto is most searched(on Jewgle)and most popular Anime of all time(Along with DB,ofc) and OP wonders why it is hated.
>>284640049bleachfags seething that their anime got canned while chadruto got an improved epilogue
>>284640049It’s genuinely bad.
It's not well written and was hard carried by the editor. You can pinpoint the exact chapter Naruto totally shits the bed and then lays in it and continues to crap itself.

>>284640909SAW SOO KAY, IS SO COOLSAW KOO RUH, DA BOOTEEFUL
>>284640155>Naruto>OldSigh...
>>284640049Probably because it's the first anime recognised as an anime in the western world that got extremely popular. At that point DBZ, One Piece were also quite popular but they were perceived as cartoons which one would consume through dubbing. Naruto started opening the gates of Japanese anime to the broader public alongside Bleach, and oldfags didn't like that at all
>>284640049because it's popularanything about how it's not well written or that it's juvenile or anything like that is just smoke from people who wouldn't give a single shit about the series if it wasn't popular
I wrote off Naruto 20+ years ago because of its popularity/narutards of the era but I never gave it an honest shot. Maybe I'll download the first few episodes today and see how it is.
>>284643226Just read it instead and then check out the cool fights/scenes you liked in the anime.
>>284643226>I wrote off Naruto 20+ years ago because of its popularityYou sound mentally ill. Please don't read or watch the series, we enough schizos in these threads as is.
>>284643498Fandoms of big series absolutely affect how people see series. I'll never watch or interact with bnh for much of the same reasons
>>284640674Thank god its been in development hell for the better part of the last two decades. Unless they do a "light version" like the one piece live action, I don't have a clue how it would work otherwise.
