Do the games tell the story better then the anime?

Yeah

>>389610796
Storm 2 specially pretty much "Kai'd" the anime. To the point and gets you up to speed on the story so far.

no, the fights get crazy in the anime

Yes and no. The presentation is great especially for the big fights, but pretty much only the major events and scenes are adapted so you miss out on a lot of the smaller details and things that were going on on the side. Bit if you only care about the central storyline the games are fine. Kishimoto himself said he thought the games were the best way to enjoy the story.

>>389610796
The way I described to a friend who was interested in Naruto is that watching the anime is like reading the LotR books (yes I know about manga but who the fuck likes to read) and playing the games is like watching the movies.

The recent Storm 4 game totally fucked it up though. 99% of the story mode was anime stills.

>>389611219
This. You'll get the general story but there is a lot of nuance and world building lost.

Not Storm 1 and not Storm 4, the others are fine.

What a shit writer he is

than the anime? yes. Are they the best telling of the story? no. manga's still the best. I don't know why naruto had so much fucking filler. it's well over 80% of the animes. It's pretty ridiculous. boruto is taking the db super approach and having the manga and anime tell separate but probably intertwining at some point, stories.

that's good advice except they occasionally stuck canon content in the middle of fucking filler episodes.

might as well read the manga.

Is Boruto popular at all? I never hear the Narutards talking about and it seems like a really lame attempt to keep the cash cow going to me. The porn with Sakura's daughter is pretty good though

>>389613305
I just wish she survived instead of that slutty Sasuke slut

It actually isn't that bad. Though it seems to be focusing on demons more than jutsus and shit.

Thank god

I don't care if this is a TWD normie meme, but if Nardo dies we riot.
Never watched an episode, just speaking from having seen the first pages from the manga

Well that's fucking stupid. Kishi isn't writing it anymore, right?

Even then the anime is still garbage full of filler

>BRB watching a fight that lasted 5 chapters in the manga

The anime is complete and utter garbage that intentionally kills any pacing the manga had.

It's actually surprisingly good. starts in media res then flings you back to joining the academy/the chuunin exam arc depending on if you're watching the anime or reading the manga, respectively.

Anime has more about boruto learning to utilize his doujutsu (a unique power that's not the byakugan, but has similar god-like tendencies to the rinnegan).
It's got a good balance of wildly powerful retard shit like the end of shippuden, and the fun childhood slice of life nonsense that made naruto's early seasons so fun.

>>389613987

Yes. World building or not, there's a metric asston of filler and flashbacks in the show. 3+4 is pretty much the only sane way to experience naruto after pain arc.

>>389614136
You've already watched the best parts of the show, drop it now.

>>389614098
nah. It awakens as he joins the academy because of the otsutsuki (mama kaguya's clanmates/children/relatives) infesting people with demonic energy to try and track boruto's growth. Probably due to it being 10 tail chakra related, since everyone seems to forget naruto inherited all that god energy, so did salad tosser.

Everyone shits on it and the only praise I ever hear for the series is the beginning up to the Chunnin exams.
>annoying as fuck
Naruto remains that way the entire series, part two focuses on him and Sasuke almost exclusively and even more edge and Naruto and Sasuke wanting to fuck is thrown in.

Naruto and Sasuke also do all the work for the rest of the series and every other interesting characters is regulated to doing absolutely fucking nothing except Guy and Shikamaru

>>389614517
Technically? That first picture I posted, kawaki, references the "end of shinobi" and destroys konoha. The newest chapter of the manga references a cult-like group that work with the curse seal equivalent stamped onto boruto's hand, planted there BY the ayylmao, but so far, no, the kaguyas are dead. I think that was just to give everyone that closure like "yeah naruto's not shit, sasuke's still a badass, now it's boruto's time to shine". The first arc of the manga was about a protection mission where boruto fights against some big hulking cannibal dude. It's really good. The anime is going through the academy and fighting off demon-possessed people (including shino, which is a badass fight, would absolutely recommend).

I'd say give it a shot. The manga and anime are pretty much entirely separated right now, so give it a try if you have an hour to spare one day. read through 5 or 6 chapters and then watch the first couple episodes of the anime.

Yeah I read that today and was disappointed but it was a nice read regardless. I personally can't get enough of Naruto and Hinata just being a couple.

reading the manga wont have the same feel as watching them fight

Bort is fairly decent. Both the anime and manga. The manga is moving pretty slow since it's monthly instead of weekly but it's been getting interesting.

Most people agree that Jiraiya was the best character he wrote. Specifically, his death, and the decision he made not to bring him back for the awful zombies saga/plot device whatever the fuck that shit was.

Yes, people thanked him and praised him for not writing more about a beloved character. Let that sink in.

>>389617604
That doesn't make it less sad, faggot ;-;

>>389617817
It does. It's not jiraiya dying without seeing naruto coming to fruition, it's him literally saying "you're stronger than I could have ever hoped, you're already the best, naruto." It is him placing the efforts of his life in naruto's hands. Same way naruto does for shikamaru.

No I meant everyone I have ever seen discuss it. Regardless of website or in real life. Seemed pretty agreed upon.

4chan is actually one of the places I see it discussed the least. The war boosted it being discussed a bit but otherwise, just from all over the internet.

>>389618350
A lot of people shit on it but it's still one of the most popular anime/manga in the West. The "haters" just happen to be very vocal.

>>389618350
I dunno overall I think it's been widely accepted as mediocre with some great high points and good characters, even people I know who used to be fanatical about it say that overall it has some terrible writing now that they look at it in retrospect.

>>389620837
there is no ninja storm on ps2. Just the PS4 collection will do. the ps2 games are separate entities, they're party brawlers.

>>389620837
No, PS2 games are Ultimate Ninja only. What you want to look for is Ultimate Ninja STORM, for PS3 and now PS4.

>>389620934
So this still confuses me because of >>389620578

Do I only need Storm 2 or the trilogy?

>>389621059
Shippuden is so long it's divided in three games. I'm guessing anon was saying Ultimate Ninja 3 for Part 1 because it was better than Storm 1 in terms of telling the same story being different games, which I can't confirm because I never played Storm 1.

>>389621180
Okay so Storm 1-3 don't overlap significantly then?

>>389616190
Not really a plot device when it was introduced way early on.

>>389621249
What do you mean "overlap"? You finish one and the next one takes off from the exact point the last one ended.

>>389621490
I see, no overlap then.

My impression was formed based on cash-in tie-in games that just adapt whatever they want. Didn't realize they actually are contiguous in story.

Storm 1 is pretty much like MGSV. You do a story mission every 10 missions that feel like they are all side quests with mini games. Zabuza fight is also not present in Storm 1. Ultimate Ninja 3 is better in terms of story

>>389621702
>Zabuza fight is also not present in Storm 1
So how does it start?

Not that one.
Storm 1 just gives you the story in mission form with practically no cutscenes until the third chapter. It's all told in the fucking loading screens. You don't even fight the whole Sound Four, it's just Kimimaro five times with the Sound Four as support. The fucking Ubisoft game managed more than this. There's also no Land of Waves arc which is one of the most popular in the series. I don't know who directed Storm 1 but they were absolutely beyond retarded.
>>389620934
I liked the Ultimate Nina ones. I was kind of annoyed when they changed to the 3D battles that all felt exactly the same.

just think less effort went into it. QTEs aren't involved anymore, less real boss fights, half the story mode is a bunch of stills ripped from the anime, no proper overworld stuff like 2 and 3 except for postgame. like sure if you just want to cut to all the fighting and prefer wobbly low quality anime stills to full in-engine cutscenes it's probably a better experience, but you miss out on shit like pregnant woman walking simulator and there are no boss fights on par with 2 or 3's

Naruto is a trash series and the only reason the side characters seem 'so good' is an illusion due to how bad the MCs are that any comparison works wonders in the side character's favour.

>>389625110
>Naruto is a trash series and the only reason the side characters seem 'so good' is an illusion due to how bad the MCs are that any comparison works wonders in the side character's favour.

Naruto has themes that are forgotten in today's post-modern atmosphere. It has a wide cast of side characters that are at least partially fleshed out. The villains have real motivations. Also, the fighting is varied and interesting because there is multiple-layers to the system of combat that the magic martial arts creates. There is a lot of possibilities for how a fight progresses.

3 has all the cool stuff with the giant ninja war and all the old characters getting brought back for new fights, fighting the other mist swordsmen, and all the hero characters getting power-ups or doing cool stuff to stop these impossibly strong opponents. 4 has like no content left to talk about, 50% of the game is fighting Madara as other characters and the rest is against Tobi or generic enemies in the flashback sections. Also it shortened the ultimate/super jutsu animations like 100% and that might make it better as a fighting game but it almost makes everything super lame.

Anyone else love the OSTs of all 4 mainline entries?
