Opinions on Naruto
    #19606568 - 02/22/14 10:46 PM (10 years, 1 day ago)

What the hell is the deal with the anime Naruto.
I'm up to episode 283 of Shippuden. If you haven't seen up to this episode then i may divulge some spoilers, you have been warned.
I say this because i've noticed i can't look up anything Naruto without people giving away spoilers and it pisses me off there's no warning.

Seriously, the series had so much potential. There's so many interesting character that were introduced in Naruto season 2 for the chunin exams. Once Shippuden continued the series, it seems like all those characters seemed to have just been thrown aside into redundancy.
This really bothers me, because characters which were hyped up to be really strong are pretty much worthless now, such as Neji and Rock Lee.
These characters get almost no air time, and yet Chogi continuously gets a lot of air time for a equally third party charcter. Choji is perhaps my most loathed character (Konohamaru would be up there though). He's so boring, and adds little to no value to the story. He should have died in the third season of Naruto when he took that third pill, but in a strange twist of events, the consequences of that third pill didn't apply to him.
What about the women characters. Most of them i dislike. They're all so terrible. Hinata is perhaps the only one i think is remotely likable, but she annoys me too for doing so little. In Shippuden, Terumi is perhaps the first female character to appear whom seems to be actually strong and cool. While i'm talking about female characters, what about Haku from the first season. Was Haku a boy or a girl? They wore a dress and had long eye lashes consistent with the other female characters of Naruto except everyone (even once the mask was removed) refereed to Haku as a 'him/he'.
Sakura. By god she annoys me. Her love for Saskue is nothing but a school girl crush, and yet it is blasted out of proportion like it's a serious feeling. I find it unbelievable at the very least, especially after Saskue tried to kill her. WTF, it simply isn't believable.
Saskue. He simply doesn't make sense. There's no logic to his decisions, or Madara's for that matter. Madara would not have told all that stuff to Saskue because anyone/everyone would have left then and there. Saskue is a dumb arse though, he's going to do the opposite and destroy things and reverse all that his brother sacrificed for just for funsies instead.

Madara: 'Hey Saskue, have you heard that Nagato destroyed the Hidden leaf? What are you going to do now?
Saskue:'I'm going to destroy the Hidden leaf!'
Madara:??

Naruto, he's almost as bad as Saskue. Willing to let many innocent people die so he can bring back Saskue, despite the two of them never actually being friends, only rivals. It's dumb. When Saskue called Naruto his best friend in season 3, even Naruto was shocked that Saskue referred to him as a friend. They're not friends, they never have been, and a bond that Naruto apparently had/has with him was never there, so he shouldn't be so determined to retrieving him back.

I can't help but to think that the writers are making up the story as they go trying to drag it on for as long as possible for the revenue. It's insulting. I can tolerate so many flash backs, but many of them i don't need to see, like all the Chogi crap, god why can't they at least do flash backs of the interesting characters instead of squad 10 constantly. Shikamaru is the only interesting character in squad 10 and even he's pushing it at times.
I say this by the way after skipping most of the filler.
The filler, by god, seasons of it. It's simply pathetic. Why doesn't the English dub skip the filler? Speaking of the English dub, why do the mouth movements of the original Japanese episodes not accurately correlate with the Japanese words, but the English dub adaption does? that makes no sense either.

In case you haven't realised, i'm very disappointed with Naruto. A lot of original potential was abandoned when Shippuden was created, but at least it was still a good show with constant cliff hangers and decent things occurring. After Itachi's death, in my opinion the show has become a convoluted, abstruse piece of crap.

I would like to know if others feel the same or have other opinions about it?

Thanks to those that had the patience to read all that.

Is that show still going on? I stopped watching it in sixth grade or so. I'm in my sophomore year of college for reference.

I don't know what Sophomore is either lol. Anyway the flashbacks in Naruto are fucked so are all the filler episodes that have absolutely no relevance to anything and are not in the Manga.

I like Naruto , it was the first Anime i ever got into and I'm upto date with it at the moment but its not overly impressive. I never liked how alot of the other characters that are shown earlier on have very little significance, without getting into to much detail I agree with you and think he drops the ball too often in his writing which is why I'm going to recommend to you the same thing i do to anyone i know that likes Naruto, which is ONE PEICE.

Based off what you just told me in your OP you are bound to enjoy the writing and world much more than that of Naruto, as it is much more rich in terms of plot lines, character development, and the overall writing style , in which everything is connected, everything happens for a reason and the characters that are shown at one time or another have their own relevance to the overall plot which also means no filler.

The quality of drawing is not as good in the earlier episodes but should you get past that you are in for a treat.

One peice, oh no; i rememeber watching that in the mornings before school when it first aired on tv here.. back when i was 17. I'm 24 now. I remember thinking that for a world where those fruits that give you special powers are rare, a lot of villains have obtained them.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm getting quite frustrated with Naruto, so perhaps i'll give it a go and see if it's better than my initial impressions.
p.s.
Zoro from that show actually inspired me to get three lobe piercings in a line, in my left ear. I got them last year, despite not watching the show for a few years. I wear studs unlike him, but they're still super cool. :grin:

When i was 17 i wanted nothing to do with Onepeice despite someone burning me 300+ Episodes i thought it was for children and refused to watch it.

Just don't watch any dubbed versions the meanings often get translated and they censor alot of things.

Trust me man

I don't watch tv anymore but I was surprised to hear that a show that I watched as a child is still continuing. Don't be so pissy.

Edit: I see that wasn't meant for me now, I thought you were both the same poster. Sorry.
