Don't have the pasta but it is at least 2 posts long and not worth it. Pretty much the story is terrible, the character awful and the ending rushed as fuck. So in conclusion it is shit once part 2 was started.

I used to enjoy it until Shippuden got into all that power up nonsense with fucking giant spirit bomb rasengans and toad eye sage mode. I also didn't like how Naruto became Ninja Jesus.

Why the FUCK was the sharigan almost indescribably stronger than the byakugan?

I mean wtf. I mean were talkin beginning of dbz goku vs cell saga goku in differences in power.
Shit doesn't make sense.
>>
>>145600268

Oh yes because for all of part 1 and part 2 they were hyping up 8 gates to high hell only for Naruto Jesus to heal him up and the only repercussion is a fucked up leg.

Some of them. Like I said, I lost interest once all that power up nonsense started going. I mean did he really need to have a "Sage Mode"? He couldn't have just gotten stronger or learned new, more powerful jutsus? Like in one of the very first episodes when he learned the Shadow Clone jutsu from the scroll that he stole.

Characters suck ass, it's a babby's first anime with WE GOTSA FITE DE BAD GUISE. The main character is some sort of fucking fox demon with nine tails because go FUCK YOURSELF and lets not forget the immense autism around the show. Does that make the show bad? No. But it makes the show about two times more off putting. We get to watch Naruto try to become the super speshul Naruto become hokage, a title that sounds like some sort of off brand sausage, and scream about believing it when he cums on the villain. characters feel bad, the story feels bad, red and black edgy Sasook eyes make the show really cool apparently. Naruto is a cancer that needs to die off and the only thing that even slightly redeems it are the fighting games that are average and not really super fun. I hate the premise and I probably always will.

Because it got turned from your regular fighting shonen about friendship and underdogs into some sort of epic fantasy saga with religious undertones.

And even the first part only worked because Kishimoto literally ripped off Hunter x Hunter. I don't know why people don't talk more about this, there isn't ONE original thing about Sasuke in Part 1.

Along with Haku, Neji, Gaara, Sasuke, and Nagato.
>>
>>145603318

The supporting characters are pretty great and the setting is interesting enough.

The manga suffered from the protag being a literal halfwit who won everything by spamming two special moves and the rival being the definition of an edgelord.

If you removed these two dipshits from the narrative the manga is 9/10 easy.

Also another problem was the whole POETRY angle where every decision or event is echoed in past generations' decisions and events and all generations having similar groups of friends doing similar things with mildly different results.

Well anyone who thought that was retarded because that was clearly not going to be the case. One of Kakashi's most quoted lines is about the existence of kids younger than them and stronger than him. That's literally just someone talking bullshit because the setting didn't line up with their head-canon.

To take it even further the power gap wasn't closed until after a three year timeskip.

It started to get really bad after Pain. It was never that good to begin with, but it was still tolerable in my eyes until the ending of Naruto's fight with Pain and Nagato revived everyone out of nowhere. Almost every facet of the story after that instance became pure dogshit.

The worst thing, though, is probably Kishimoto's obsession with giving literally every single character some pity-party backstory that's supposed to make the reader feel sympathy for them. That was just downright insulting, especially with Obito. This mass-murdering, war-mongering retard committed all these horrible, unspeakable crimes because some stupid girl he liked died, and the author actually tried to redeem this character when he deserves no redemption at all, and everyone was supposed to forgive him because he wanted to become Hokage. It was almost as if Kishi was trying to justify all the atrocious shit he did.

>Don't make fun of the guy who killed my parents! He was the coolest guy!!!

>>145604299
No, he wasn't. I associate him heavily with how bad this arc became. He was so goddamn bland and boring with not an ounce of charisma or personality, and his motivation as a villain was pants-on-head retarded. Power fantasy at its absolute worst;.

It's a contradictory fucking mess of values.

The power scales went a bit too bonkers.

Some characters go full retard. Talk no jutsu is a thing. DEM uchiha and madara. Tobi = Obito was actually a thing. MASS REVIVALS. Strange personality changes/team swaps (orochi, fox, nagato etc). The retarded power up chain for eye hax. Lineage is everything.

It needed to focus on the background lore better. Some how in only 200 years since madara vs the first everyone forgot so much background lore and rules of their fucking universe.

Simply the scale was wrong. It needed to show us the rest of the world, more from other nations, the true relationships between hidden villages and their ruling houses, basically more politics/agendas. The hypocritical nature of the fire cunts being all peace loving but still using child soldiers.

The weird level of tech that bounces around so much. Lots of electronics (radios, recording devices, cameras etc), even some more modern 90's~ tier tech, but severe under use in situations it would help. Yes it's about wizards in funny outfights who swing from trees, occasionally throwing a dagger, but why have all this technology and experimentation capability and not use it to the full extent?
>>
>>145599770
>Why do you people shit on naruto?
I actually enjoyed the beginning.
But right when the barrel arc started, I realised that things are going down hill. And we see how in the end the story degenerated to the point of talking about how your genetics determine everything, and hardwork means nothing. And any talk about a ninja team was annihilated when fights become solo affairs.

If only that shit with 4 tails didn't happen.

If we'd never seen glimpses of such huge terrain destruction from akatsuki members vs bijuu then the series could have been kept low key in terms of scale.

But no, that fight with orochimaru at the bridge showed us that the fuck huge scale was just beginning, that was 4/9 tails and it was destroying the landscape and fucking orochimaru was only just starting to think it was a bit too high.

It's fucking worthless writing all the unique skills and low key abilities if everything ends up resulting in beam spam and swinging an arm that causes 100m diameter craters.

The glaring problems started the arc before that but for me that was the point everything just broke forever.

>>145605075
I first assumed the show was going to leave small scale fighting when jiraya and tsunade fought orochimaru in part one, when gaara and naruto did it with their tailed beasts it was cool cause at the time we thought they were only ones who could do it, and under extreme conditions, but after the sennin summoned their frogs and shit, it became obvious that that was gonna be the way of fighting
>>
>>145604182

Bit of both.

Lineage + being a vessel = 2X the norm base level + fox on the side.

What I recall was basically that vessels naturally get a bit larger supply because they have to suppress/use their own mana instead of relying solely on their beast (or else they can turn out like gaara).

>>145604239

Rabbit was foreshadowed though right? At least when using tradition folklore as the basis. The whole rabbit - snake thing we all thought was going to happen towards the end with orochi finally getting his immortal body, his attraction to individuals who had stronger lineage powers that were less diluted etc.

Because it retconned the story hard, the characters acted terribly throughout the series and it would not end even after it had more than enough time to. Plus it had practically as many bad arcs as good which makes it basically a coin toss of quality.

Bleach did better due to having 2 arcs being bad while 4 arcs being good. Better concise storyline, better characters and isn't going to go into spinoff spawn hell like Naruto.

Why does everything have to turn to shit? I mean, I guess we can't talk. They're probably saying the same thing after watching Jurassic World and Terminator Genisys. Still, all four of those anime/mangas I mentioned are insanely popular. You would think they'd be treated a bit better. Isn't Japan supposed to be a country about work ethics? Don't they feel shame for degrading in quality so noticeably?

Byakugan can easily reach rinnegan levels with Teisengan and then some.

It's just the hyuuga's weren't mentally deficient enough to keep killing each other for power like the uchiha did. Or kill people because their waifu died. There's a reason their clan is still active while the uchiha's went extinct

In One Piece's case that work ethic is what fucked it all up.

Oda usually only gets 3 hours of sleep per day. It's clear his brain has been fried.

I would have really, REALLY enjoyed Naruto if they SLOWED down the fucking story after Naruto defeated Pain - after he learned Sage Mode.

It would have been cool if they had Naruto actually have to be a jounin in fact, if not by name, and actually do a few high end missions for the village since he was the only powerhouse left in good condition while the village was repaired.

The anime had a good idea,stretching it out- but those fillers are so fucking bad- getting him on a boat was pointless.

They should have focused on the fact that Naruto had become one of the village's mightiest, and you could have written pretty good storylines about Naruto having to deal with it.

Sage Mode was amazing. We didnt have to immediately get Jinchuriki Mode Mk2.

Manga writers dont know shit about pacing.
>>
My biggest issue is that Naruto never really learns any jutsu. He has about four different jutsus and just does a couple of variants on them. He went on a two year training trip with one of the Sannin who knew hundreds of jutsu and is one of the strongest ninjas, I learned how to use a bit more of my tailed beast, a bigger Rasengan, and a little taijutsu. Then they do that whole section about him learning to use his wind chakra and they don't teach him a single fucking jutsu.

It was ridiculous.
I just simply dont understand how the writer could make the main character completely waste 3 years of training with a master, but the secondary character becomes some god tier master.It was mindboggling, and to this day, reeks horribly of Sasuke masturbatory fantasy.

I dont mind if you want to keep Sasuke ahead of Naruto, sure, whatever, but Naruto looked like some chuunin random waste of space, while Sasuke was kage tier.

Then, he trained to do the Rasenshuriken for a WEEK, and the writer was so fucking dumb that he sincerely wanted us to believe Naruto had gotten a massive upgrade.

Really? From learning elemental manipulation, and maybe improving his chakra control a whole bit?

Fuck Kishimoto, man.

Honest answer?

Because after all that hype, all that character progress, the awesomeness that is Madara, and every dream brought up from watching it when you get home after school and practice the jutsu in front of your TV, it ends with a fucking ripoff of The Matrix. I mean fucking what. Uchiha Madara final battle with all the strongest jutsu they've learned throughout the series and we end up with a fucking Goddess and complete change of theme with the literal fate of humankind depends on Naruto and Sasuka being able to kill said Goddess.

I mean what the fuck.

SWJ know that serie like Naruto/One piece/Bleach have that much success because the reader is feed with a chapter per week. Weekly release is just an addiction and SWJ flourish because children and manchildren want their weekly escapism.

Consider also that some of their mangakas wouldn't produce a better story just because they are given more time. Though it would definitely be good for their health.

It's easy to believe Orochimaru is a much more implicated teacher than Jirayia is. Plus Sasuke had been several times pointed out as the focused and hard working student type pre-shippuden, while Naruto is mostly a slacker that kick is arse when he is strictly supervised, and only then.

>>145612487
Not when it is introduced 10-5 chapters before showing how fairy tales are real. If naruto was a 40 chapter serie it wouldn't been much of a problem, but it's not the case. Kishi should have think of his universe there and there before dropping it on us just to justify a twist and a villain.

Dunno if you'd count the tail stages or the beam spam/bombs.

He was always more a melee fighter, the kids too fucking stupid for hand magic, it's why his signature moves were basically limited trickery, punching and punching with mana balls.

I don't get the hate for it.

The biggest problem with Naruto in Part 2 was how the Uchihas completely hijacked the story after Pain's invasion. There were just too many of them, and it indeed became all about them for too fucking long. Itachi should have absolutely stayed dead after he died fighting Sasuke, although that's part of a bigger problem that I have with Edo Tensei altogether. Sasuke himself should have quit his boring edgefest after fighting Itachi; if he had to remain a villain, then that would have been the perfect time for Orochimaru to come back and possess Sasuke's body. But Kishi dropped the fuck out of that ball.

Obito and Madara weren't needed at all. Fuck them both. But if you insist on them being part of the story, then it should be either one or the other, because these two heavily oversaturated the plot with their silly plan and inane flashbacks. Alternatively, just have it Madara possessing the body of Obito, at least that way Obito's character doesn't get completely destroyed like it did. But like I said, neither of them were needed and Tobi being the true leader of the Akatsuki was stupid, as was he identity as Obito, as was his story to Sasuke about Itachi wuz a gud boi.

Basically, fuck the Uchiha - Madara, Obito and Itachi specifically. Sasuke should have been the only obstacle left for Naruto after defeating Pain. Just have their final fight and be done with it; maybe even utilising Oro for one last time. Naruto basically accomplished everything he wanted, he saved Konoha, earned the village's respect and pretty much guaranteed himself the Hokage seat at some point in the future. With only Sasuke left, the series should have been wrapped up inside 30 chapters, and I'm still mindboggled that Kishi dragged it out for 300 more.

Sot6P name drop was only with the first nagato flashback, so like Ch. 350s? My issue with the lore was that if it was intended to go as scaled as it did, it needed to really delve into it way earlier and explore that 'all the unique clan specific powers are just heavily diluted powers of "the orginator"'. But we're introduced to the world like it's the norm. Madara shit really only happened 200 years prior, their tech is above or on par with ours in some parts and badly utilized and we're not really given a decent look at the world at large, the origin of magic until right at the end.

Just a mess when I try to think about it.

Because they probably realize this is the only time they have a spot in the limelight. They look at the glories of the past like Hara and Kurumada and see that after your popular batlte shonen it's done you'll be forgotten and all your other work ignored. Which is why Hara and Kuruamada came up with the "expanded universe" for Hokuto no Ken and Saint Seiya 20 years after the original run: it's the only way they can be popular and make money again.
The only one I can give a pass is Toriyama, since Dragon Ball was a worldwide phenomenon who still hasn't faded into obscurity, it makes sense to have a go at it one last time before death.

I let the people who like it mind their business, but for me it suffers the same fate as every anime having several hundreds of episodes. It drags on and on and the intensity thus decreases, making many people here become disinterested. I watched it up until this point where naruto lost his master and learns this giant frog technique and fights against the black guys in this village that gets wrecked. How many episodes were there until this point? A hundred? And I remember next to nothing. Meanwhile I remember every detail of a couple standard animes having 24 episodes.
It's all in the density, man.

And Naruto didnt?
basically everything after the Pain Invasion arc was turd tier shit.
>>
It would've been an actually great story if it had ended at the Pain arc with a few minor changes.
>mass revival didn't happen
>naruto convinced nagato to change his mind with something other than "because idk lol"
>tobi/obitobi kenobi didn't exist
>have sasuke find out about the planned uchiha massacre somewhere else

Then just have Sasuke return to the village ready to destroy it, edginess and all when the village is trying to recover. Naruto then has to fight him, but tries to convince him to turn his ways throughout the fight, but he then realizes that there are just some people he can't save, and that a Hokage needs to make choices. He would then realize who his real friends are, like Sakura, Shikamaru, Lee, and the others. Then he kills Sasuke and upon witnessing him reaching this decision for the sake of the village, Tsunade crowns Naruto the Hokage. Then it fucking ends.

Ok Anon, since Naruto is probably your first anime, and you are a summerfag. I will humor you.

Naruto and Shitpudding both suffer from extremely bad pacing, poor characters and character development, and a lack of pre planning.

Nardo stole all its greatest concepts from superior anime such as DBZ and Hunter X Hunter.

Naruto is an extremely bad Goku parody. In fact, once you take away his goal of 'I want to be the Hokage' his character is incredibly shallow as that is his only real motivation. He even has multiple little Gay Super Saiyan ripoff transformations

Sasuke is nothing more than a Kurapika ripoff with Majin Vegetas Character arc

Chuunin Exams were a poor mans Hunter Exams.

Last Arc was incredibly bad and drawn out.

The ONLY thing Naruto had going for it was the absolute badass big bad Madara. BUUUT! He gets killed by a plot device known as Kaguya who is incredibly weak for a god.

So, please, someone defend this shit. I spent well over 10 years reading this bullshit for it to end on a shitty note.

One thing I will gove credit for, is Naruto and Sasukes final fight was pretty satisfying, at least for me.

Naruto has never been a murderer.

In fact, throughout the entire series, he only killed one person. Sasuke didn't either until he went full "REVENGE" during the 5KS arc
>>
>>145599770
Because about halfway through the only thing that mattered was that it continued to produce as much content as possible with no resemblance to the original story or artstyle.
>>
>>145636153

Since you faggots clearly never read the manga I'll tell you.

Tsunade explains that Orochimaru experimented on Sasuke, which is why he grew so powerful in such a short time.

Experimenting is LITERALLY WHAT OROCHIMARU DOES.

Because after the Infinite Filler arc, we got like one or two episodes of actual story progression before entering yet another filler arc.

though admittedly this arc with Indra and Ashura was better than most arcs because we at least got some relevant backstory on less familiar characters

Then we got a filler episode flashback of trying to unmask Kakashi. again

Then we got an episode that was about 70% Obito flashback we've seen a million times and 30% actual story progression.

>>145641408
Nope, the theme of that rivalry/friendship was recognition/respect.

And the early main theme of the manga was the "Protecting your precious ones is what gives you true strenght" that Haku tells Naruto and that finally drives him to his victory in his -arguably- first decisive battle (Gaara)

>>145600369
Black Zetsu, Aka, the whole reason behind the "Uchiha are a cursed clan" idea; cultivated the Sharingan in the users through generation after generation by haunting them like a ghoul. In the case of Madara it got so powerful he couldn't even anticipate its full power anymore.

The Hyuga clan was free from this probably because either, A. They are obvious closer to Senju and thus would sense out the presence of Black Zetsu, or B. Couldn't be corrupted as easily as the Uchiha.

First arcs: "there's no fate, I'm the master of my own destiny, we can do anything we want through effort and hard work"

>>
>>145599770
Well a lot of it is just teenage rejection of childish things style shitposting done by underageb&s or people who were teenagers when naruto became popular and never had the insight to realize there's nothing wrong with stupid children's entertainment just because you don't personally have nostalgia for it (dragonball, anyone?)

The only real problem is the same problem a lot of shounen have, power creep meaning fights stop being interesting and tactical and just become paint by numbers, where they just pull out increasingly absurd powers and that's supposed to keep the audience interested.

>>145641666
Did you miss the part where Neji worked harded than everyone else?

Did you miss the part where Rock Lee said he was being cocky and Sasuke was able to get his speed with training and raw talent in much less time?

Good premise but bad character development overall. Main characters typically made irrational choices usually when Sasuke was brought up in the subject (including Sasuke himself). Other characters barely got any time to do anything significant and were typically left on the side lines.


Early battles were pretty solid but got stupider overall due to the power-ups. Furthermore those powerups were usually only designated to the mc and rival which left even more characters on the sidelines.

And god help you if you watched (or still watching) the anime.
>>
>>145649707
>added note:

Overall, it's shit because it was a bit of a disappointment in hindsight.
>>
Because Kishimoto set up several themes in the story that he contradicted as the series went on, rendering the dramatic impact of the earlier arcs wasted.

Because Kishimoto created a world of five great competing ninja villages alongside many smaller ninja villages, but then focused 80% of the story inside one and made their founders the actual descendants of the first ninja.

Because Kishimoto can't draw or write women. I'm not even a SJW or anything, but reading Naruto actually made me feel bad for its female fans. Also, his most attractive girls were actually dudes.

Because Kishimoto has the worst sense of humor of any mangaka.

Because when what all the fans wanted to see all along was high-level ninja fights and covert missions with all the secondary characters he introduced in the second fucking arc, the entire series eventually became solely about Naruto's undying boner for Sasuke. His relationship with one dude became more important than anything else in the series. He was forgiven for attempted murder on multiple people from multiple villages and even banged Sakura in the end. Kishimoto's homolust for Sasuke was so strong, that he managed to survive a point blank city-sized explosion with no chakra left by summoning a giant snake, hypnotizing it, and then hiding inside its mouth before the fucking explosion reached him. Sasuke couldn't die because the entire Narutoverse ACTUALLY revolved around him and Naruto's relationship. The rest of the world could fucking die so long as Naruto got a chance to try and save Sasuke. Even the top four or five antagonists of the series were revealed to all be trying to achieve the same stupid shit of recreating the first ninja, which I can only imagine Kishimoto first envisioned as being Naruto and Sasuke's gay love baby.

That said, I still think the first ~30% of the series is good and I also like how Kishimoto adds inconsequential details to his scenes for the sake of realism. I still feel bad for this entire fanbase.

Why does everyone assume Naruto's theme was about hard work and going "fuck bloodlines"?

That's Rock Lee's theme, not Naruto's. You started this series with "I HAVE A DEMON IN ME. I CAN CHANNEL THE DEMONS ENERGY TO USE TO MY ADVANTAGE" and see Naruto use it in probably the only fight where destiny is ever mentioned in contrast to hardwork.
>>
>>145652552
Because Nardo was also supposed to be the hard put upon underdog who has to scrape his way to the top through guts and willpower. Then we find out just how absurdly talented he is, and his shit skills are all his fault for not paying attention in class, and then to cap it all off we find out his prestigious bloodline and ghost power him up even more; making him the most powerful man in the world at age sixteen.
>>
>>145653014
He was supposed to be the under dog for awhile and he was. No one ever said it was going to be like that the entire series or even half of it.

And yeah he was overall just pretty bad in the first part of the series. Which is why the time skip with Jiraiya was focused on fundamentals and pulling out a bit of Kyuubi chakra.
Don't know why you're bringing up his age either to be honest. Just seems like an attempt at hyperbole
And is he really talented? Pretty sure Naruto is/was just really creative when it comes to accomplishing things, at least when it came to Part 1 and spamming Rasengans (Translation: He spams Shadow Clones). That and just having massively obnoxious amounts of chakra. Also almost everyone in this series has a bloodline to the point where it's pretty inconsequential. Plus it at least explains where his massive amount of chakra came from since part 1.

And ghost power up was just Kishi being Kishi. It was only for the war anyway iirc. Not saying that doesn't make the war any less shit because it was.
>>
>>145649707

>Main characters typically made irrational choices

Kind of the point? Naruto's an immature overly emotional teen, playing ninja jesus/god/savior/child soldier 'that's perfectly fine with being a child soldier' in a world where war is the norm. I don't think his immaurately and bad decision making is wrong, it fits the character given his personality traits and past experiences. He simply was never a level headed/combat/job orientated kid. He was a brat with god mode capabilities.
>>
>>145653765
>And is he really talented?
Yes, more talented than even Sasuke. He
>learns shadow clones in a few hours despite not knowing how to do even the most basic clone technique
>learns tree walking at the same rate as Sasuke, despite having only a fraction of his practiced control
>impresses Ebisu at how fast he's learning water walking, despite having a seal that disrupts his control stuck on him by Oro
>learns rasengan in a month even though it's meant to be the pinnacle of difficulty in shape manipulation
etc. etc.
>>
>>145653930
Yeah I can see what you mean more clearly. I could only remember his Rasengan and Sage Mode training in which he used really creative methods to learn the techniques
