Despite having a ton of flaws and being grossly overhyped Naruto is actually kino and one of the better mainstream big dumb action/shonen series. If it ended after be beat pain it would literally be better than Dragonball

Fact if only they stick to the world building with sage being the strongest thing that ninjas can controlled

Every anime girl should wear a thong

Osamu Tezuka is a terrible writer, regardless of whether he is trying to be serious or lighthearted. It's not even a "it was a different time" issue, he's just genuinely subpar.

His big redeeming trait is his willingness to experiment with all sorts of genres and stories, setting the stage for future manga to not be as tied to a single type of story or audience.

I'm not really averse to battle shounen but Naruto is after my era, I'm in my 30s. And I'm really not interested in ninja. I've never read Naruto or seen it. Having said all that and my ignorance of Naruto, I'd say that title belongs to Gintama.

This is not an unpopular opinion. Hating Naruto became a meme but if you actually have any taste you know that the only shonen that is better is Hunter x Hunter. And that's because Kishimoto clearly read it and took the best aspects put of it but created a world and characters way more compelling. Part 1 is amazing, and part 2 is also great before the war arc, then Kishimoto sella himself and forces himself into continuing it but and it became a mess. But even with that it's still better than everything else but HxH.

What title?

There was a thread on Zig Forums years ago that was talking about some old manga that was basically the first example of a typical shonen series. I can't remember the name but whenever I ask on manga updates people say it's Tezuka's phoenix. Anyone know what I'm talking about

What doesn't hunter only have like 1 or 2 years on Naruto? Besides chuunin exam what was copied? Also remember when you literally couldn't discuss Naruto on here? How did that start and when did it stop

>What title?
Best big dumb action shounen series.

Oh ok. Gintama is my favorite manga but idk if I'd label it as that. It's gag first and foremost. When I think of big dumb shounen action series I think of stuff like bleach, one piece, dragon ball, reborn, etc

If Gintama is too much gag and not enough action, then what about Ashita no Joe? It's entirely about fighting.

Naruto wasn't allowed at all on Zig Forums until about 2010 or 2011 when the manga was allowed, but the anime wasn't allowed. New chapter threads of the manga were permitted. Before that posting anything Naruto would lead to thread deletion and ban. Not sure when the anime became allowed to discuss, but probably a few years later.

It's because at the time, the Naruto fanbase was largely underage and acted like it.

>One Piece (although this one is way better in this regard but it has plenty of other issues I don't want to discuss)

Do it user

>Another thing, kids actually act like kids,
YYH does this even better than Naruto, by like a lot

>The protagonist just seems to become stronger without any explanation aside from "spiritual power bullshit"

There are a few times where Yusuke gets a powerup out of nowhere but the same's true for Naruto. The bit where Yusuke has to get the spirit wave orb implanted is no joke one of the best powerups I've seen in anime.

That's because m00t knew what he was doing.
Narutards should have never been allowed on Zig Forums, the king made it clear that they weren't welcome, but the naruthordes did not know when to give up.

I'm not saying it was copied (though some earlier arcs were a little bit but) it's more like the style of storytelling, that puts both of these way above every other shonen, it's hard to articulate exactly what it is but I'll try. I was recently watching Yu Yu hakusho for the first time and even though it has a lot of good things it doesn't have the elements that make HxH and Naruto so great, it's good but it's clearly inspired by DBZ a little but too much and that's not a good thing. The protagonist just seems to become stronger without any explanation aside from "spiritual power bullshit", gives you the impression that the world revolves around them, this happens with Bleach, DBZ, and even One Piece (although this one is way better in this regard but it has plenty of other issues I don't want to discuss) and basically most other shonen. In Naruto you can see it in the first arc, the difference between let's say Naruto and Kakashi or Zabuza Is so big is not even close, and this constantly happens over and over, it's constantly reminding us that Naruto is just an idotoc kid with guts, but just that or being the protagonist won't be enough to win against real ninjas (even though in part 2 all of this goes to shit a little bit). Another thing, kids actually act like kids, Naruto is an idiot, Sakura is a horny teenager, Sasuke is edgy af and keeps getting BTFO every time he faces real ninjas, unlike other shonens or anime in general where they forget kids should act like fucking kids. this happens in the entirety of part one and a huge chunk of part 2. And Don't even get me started with the fights, Naruto and HxH are so much better than everything else it's actually ridiculous, I fall asleep watching any other shonen fight (I hit you, then you hit me until one is defeated) there's no nuance to it at all...

I don't have anything against Naruto fans. The people that were shitposting against Naruto back then were just as bad, if not worse than the underage horde (which wasn't even present on Zig Forums, but instead on gaia and other places). That's all moot now though since Naruto fans are adults now.

Anyone that doesn't spam narutard threads with kill yourself, narutard is giant dick sucking faggot. Anyone seriously discussing naruto on Zig Forums is a flaming retard that likes to suck dicks of all shapes, sizes and colors with his mouth and ass.

I added some things to my explanation because I realized it was too shit

I was watching the Zabuza arc the other day and just the first fight between Zabuza and Kakashi is better than everything I've seen in Yu Yu Hakusho 40 chapters in, there's a huge tactical element and we have 2 incredibly powerful and charismatic characters displaying a shitton of cool techniques, no bullshit, Zabuza wins but team 7 is able to free Kakashi with strategy, then Zabuza loses his chance and Kakashi gets a second chance to shine. It's not actually about who is the strongest but who outsmarts the other and who hits first, you know, like a real fucking fight would be (real fight the first one who lands a good punch wins, regardless of who was actually the strongest) hunter Hunter x Hunter is also like this and it never declines so that's why it's the best.

It's very childish to get upset at people liking things that you don't like.

It's also very childish to keep coming to a place you're not welcome to. You have other places where you can discuss your cancer.

The Cell/Android is the worst arc in DragonBall. Is is only liked by Gohan self-inserts that cant even get his age right. And also the Gohan v Cell fight was trash.

People that think that Code Geass s2 was well written are retarded

Modern sports anime is vastly improved over classics like slam dunk, ashita no joe, hajime no ippo, cpt tsubasa, etc.

Olympia Chadklos is a much better comedy series than Cringegichou and is far funnier than every other anime of the 2000s.

Not really. Haikyuu has nice animation, but that's about it. The Diamond no Ace manga is good, but the anime is a horrendous slideshow.

Its very childish to try to cling to old rules. Naruto is now allowed on Zig Forums
Crying about it only makes you a faggot.

>If it ended after be beat pain it would literally be better than Dragonball
Not exactly a high bar there, my man.

And comparing Slam Dunk to Ahiru no Sora is not even fair when Slam Dunk is superior in every way including animation, even though it's over 20 years old.

Most modern sports shounen are still living in Slam dunk's shadow.

Anime and video games was a mistake, really

You're the one crying because your faggot ass is still treated as cancer for obsessing over a piece of shit that ended years ago.
