Why was Naruto ever banned on Zig Forums? It's a good story. It uses a protagonist with clear flaws and goals to get its feet and then transitions into a narrative which effectively elucidates the nature of cyclical conflict. Kishimoto's been accused of just giving all his villains sad backstories, which is true to an extent, but the point is that there is no one who's just "evil". In Naruto, today's conflict was caused by yesterday's generation, and that generation's conflicts were caused by the previous generation, but they are not blamed. They simply have to acknowledge their responsibility and work to ensure their mistakes are not repeated.
My favorite arc was the Pain arc. The way it resolved Naruto's greatest plotline about love conquering over war, by demonstrating it, and subsequently the fruits of peace when Pain used his (plot-backed) Rikudo Rebirth jutsu to revive the village that he had just assaulted; which Naruto still remembers when Obito uses it and is why he doesn't try to stop Madara with Sasuke (that's what you call A-Grade detail). It all came together perfectly.
I especially like how it comes right after the Shikamaru Revenge and Sasuke-Itachi arcs, to kind of contrast how Naruto is different from other ninjas. I like how at the very beginning Naruto's the same. I like how their first mission took them to a country where ninjas don't exist because the ocean offers natural protection. I like how Shikamaru's dad's death and the Chakra Tree happen exactly 400 chapters from the moment when he and him are playing chess and he tells Shikamaru he will one day learn who the "King" is.
Your favorite author couldn't out-write Kishi if he had a lifetime to do it. Believe it.
>Why was Naruto ever banned on Zig Forums? 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 user 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 Zig Forums, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every user 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.

Why hasn't EVA been banned on Zig Forums yet?
Garbage series. Garbage characters.
All it has going for it are good animations. That's it. Anno ain't worth a lick of dirt.

>Why was Naruto ever banned on Zig Forums? It never actually was. Why do newfags believe this? Mods only banned gaiafags etc. for a while nonstop, it wasn't about Naruto specifically. Moot loved it.
Easton Baker
Truly, all of us past the age of 14 can agree that it's HxH than needs to be banned?
Josiah Green
I think we should ban Isekai
Adrian Nguyen
Sasuke did way more good than bad, retard.

>hidden leaf village goddamn stealth canadians

The quality of a story has nothing to do with being banned, it's the obnoxious fanbase. On that note HxH should be banned.
Wyatt Morris
do we really need three threads for an anime that ended six years ago
Jaxson Gomez
All the OPs were outing themselves as underaged and homosexual
people who had a mental siezure at the sight of people enjoying entry level anime made it a meme to shitpost the threads so hard they'd hit auto-sage within 30 minutes of being made. that was back when the bump limit was 200 rather than 500
it was never banned it was pushed to page 10 with the use of
sage
which it's desactivated globally atm

>It's a good story. It's not a good story but it had it's moments but that's not what matters the reason Naruto was banned was because of the kind of fanbase it attracted.
People here didn't like it. Threads were derailed by the doubles police and then deleted by the janitors.
Anthony Gutierrez
BNHA is the only manga that should be banned.
Samuel Brooks
somebody post the text wall about why sasuke did nothing wrong
Jacob Clark
It's wasted potential that by the end was half pandering to a western audience and half creating new uninspired characters just to sell more fighting games. From chapter 450 on it had zero soul.
