Its 2020 and I'm unironically watching this for the very first time and my God, it's so bad. Even by shonen standards. I just finished episode 20 and so far the characters are all cliches. Which is to be expected for this kind of anime, but their such cliches that it almost seems like a parody. How the hell is the main character so fucking unlikable? The only character I kind of like is kakashi. The pacing is all over the place and the dialogue is just lazy. Some of the episodes have recaps that take up literally half the runtime of a new episode. Why is this allowed?
>inb4 what were you expecting hurr durr
I expected to somewhat understand why it became such a phenomenon. dbz and bleach have pretty bad writing too but at least their entertaining and not a boring slog to get through. I will say I like the world though. And the ranking of the ninjas and everything seems pretty cool. Everything else has been extraordinarily bad. I dont get it.

Well, at least it gets better the further you get. But if you haven't found any enjoyment so far, it's better to just drop it, I guess.
ok newfag
DBZ had a TON of filler, what the fuck are you talking about? Were you even alive back then?
>DBZ had a TON of filler
Most of the dbz filler that I've seen was better than the first arc of naruto.
Yeah, I'm doing the same thing and Land of Waves is pretty awful. Very soon though, you'll hit the Chuunin Exams, which are significantly better in every way.
Based
Watching older anime doesn't make someone a newfag.
it gets good 300 episodes in
you just have to speedwatch until the final fight
once you to make it to shippuden you're in prime territory
>dbz and bleach have pretty bad writing too but at least their entertaining
bait
It does. You're either a newfag or a cringe underaged zoomer if you haven't seen naruto yet.
Chuunin exam and the Sasuke Retrieval arc are the only good things about the original series honestly. Even LoW is overhyped by a relatively short final battle just with great antagonists
Exactly right
You say that as if shippuden has anything besides Pain
don't waste your time and watch naruto in 18 minutes instead
I watched like 80 episodes over a few months and then gave up. It's complete dog shit edgy muh NINJUTSU trash. It was painful trying to push through until it gets "good". I realized eventually that it never gets good and the people who like it are too young to understand what makes something good.
>I will say I like the world though. And the ranking of the ninjas and everything seems pretty cool.
Don't get attached to those things too much

You've made a huge mistake. You're not intended to watch Naruto, only to read manga.
I dont know i just like Hidan man
Your zoomer logic doesnt make sense.
>tfw naruto was after my time
Why do you say that? The hierarchy aspect of it is the coolest part so far to me.
>doesnt make sense
You're retarded.
Because Naruto forgot it's a ninja manga right once the timeskip happens.
Lmao i am a zommer and i am 20, i drink and i fuck nigga,i grew up with naruto.
For how many times have you made the exact same post user?
Kill yourself moeshitter zoomer
>Well, at least it gets better the further you get.
Not after the timeskip. Nope. Not even the few good things it had saves it.
should've read the manga instead
Yeah but it's still better than MHA.
What a shock that a series trying to copy as much of Naruto as possible is worse than Naruto.
you sound like a retard bandwagoner
I haven't seen Naruto and i don't plan on ever seeing it.
Hell yeah
