Is Naruto the "smartest" shonen series of its time?

>>160925661
Obviously

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.

No, Bleach is way smarter. Its characters are actually smart and say smart things.

Seriously, is there anything in Hunter x Hunter that is even close to this philosophical dialogue between Pain and Naruto?

>Pain's whole motive was due to how small nations got trampled in the wars between the 5 great nations
>Naruto promises to bring peace to the world
>In the epilogue, everyone but the 5 great nations are still unrepresented in world councils
Kishi sure shat the bed on this one

No, please tell me.

I don't give a fuck what anybody says. Naruto up until the Pain arch and the death of Itachi was good shit. This is where the series jumped the shark. It was still "fun", but the series lost itself in its own autism. Just like DB, Bleach, OP, and all of the other long running shonen.

Do you really think he gave a shit in the end? The series was running on fumes and WSJ probably pushed him to shit out the last 100 chapters.

Both Naruto and Bleach has a point where you know that the author is just pushed to continue.

Heck, i even think that One Piece will reach that point in the end.

I'd say World Trigger is smarter, but that might just be because of it's almost sports style leanings.

>>160928956

>We are on different sides, but we have our own justice.

Not that much deeper since that is the state of war. There is no such thing as Good vs Evil in war since both sides have their own idea of justice.

Only when you deviate from your own justice are you evil. Evil acts in the name of justice are not evil since in your own idea of justice those acts are for the good of the world.

If you can find a real Good VS Evil war i will eat a bag of dicks.

None of those are smart.
You probably couldn't pass Philosophy 101 writing an argument with any of those.

I remember when I completely decimated any attempt to have Naruto threads on eightch's /a/ by spamming the fuck out of this.

I dropped Naruto at the start of the Ninja War. I realised everything I used to like about the series was nowhere to be seen and I had no interest in continuing. From what I've heard from friends, it seems like it got no better.

Fuck off, narutards.

Mods should consider placing the /adv/ robot filter on /a/.

That way, cancerous spamming Narutards like OP would be blocked from posting.

Reposting is a bannable offense. Lurk more, Narutard.

>>160925661
That would be Ashita no Joe for being antithetical to shounen protagonist character development and with a truly high level of emotional maturity, not to mention the sociological and historical depth.

>Reposting is a bannable offense.
No it isn't

>>160925661
Naruto should have ended at Pain. What followed was the worst, most disgusting and blatantly obvious cashcowification of the series.

It HURTS to read Naruto after Pain, that's how bad it got.

Naruto is still a 6/10 series for me, but I won't deney that this was a solid momment in the show, its his often these moments happen that tells a shows quality
