I started Naruto this year and its mediocre. The pacing sucks, the fights leading up to the arc finale are forgettable, and the secondary cast and greater ninja world is underutilized. the MC especially is annoying, he prattles on how his friends gave his life meaning but he sasuke and sakura barely get along or hang out, the only time team7 is together is the bridge arc in the beginning of the series. Naruto also talks about hardwork but the main reason he can do the multi shadow clone jutsu, summon the giant frog and beat Neji was because he had the ninetailed fox in him. And people say part2 is when the story get worse jfc. Some of fights are pretty clever though like shikamaru vs the wind fan girl or, and lee/naruto vs gaara was pretty hype. And kishi's art is really great but his overall his storytelling sucks.
Naruto is overrated
>Dragonball rip-off
the sky is blue.
>Naruto is overrated
This isn't something new or unknown, user.
Naruto should have married Sakura, it makes zero sense she ended up with Hinata.
>the fights leading up to the arc finale are forgettable
>the entire Great Naruto Bridge fight from Sasuke and Naruto vs Haku to Kakashi vs Zabuza to ZABUZA KILLING THE ENTIRE MAFIA WITH A KUNAI IN HIS MOUTH
>the Forest of Death with side characters finally getting some fleshed out fights, Sasuke vs Orochimaru, Anko before fat, Garra meatsploding people
>EVERY FIGHT IN CHUNIN EXAMS EXCEPT SAKURA VS INO

you are batshit crazy. OG Naruto is nonstop kino apart from the filler and anything with Sakura.
naruto should have married sasuke*
This, Hinata has zero charisma and barely any development with Naruto.
Zig Forums a few years ago would shit on every Naruto thread. Nowadays they mostly don't care.
Either way you are correct, the storytelling was abysmal and someone saying their a fan of the manga immediately makes me question their judgement of writing
and the fights are boring as shit literalllt 1 minute fighting and the rest is just talking and naruto evangelizing the villains pfhaha
>t.Self inserter
Shut the fuck up and move on already, nobody cares about who a bunch of fictional characters fuck.
Like most other shounens I watched I thought it was really good until the few main characters became far more powerful than anyone else
>Hinata has zero charisma
Objectively false. She’s far more popular and beloved than the whores from Bleach or Huan Piss.
>Naruto also talks about hardwork but the main reason he can do the multi shadow clone jutsu, summon the giant frog and beat Neji was because he had the ninetailed fox in him
The Ninetailed Fox was more of a curse than a boon for him, he was a hated outcast with like 2 friends period. it took until the Chunin Exam finals for him to finally earn respect.
He also absolutely worked his ass off, chakra or not he trained so hard he bled, created techniques, learned to use the techniques he had in clever ways to outwit his opponents, Naruto fought a big uphill battle.
Also to say Naruto was only special because he was born with gifts is nonsense, the true prodigies of the cast outside Lee and Shikamaru all have bloodline bullshit or a Jinchuriki anyways.
this is of course going by original Naruto, in Shippuden it's revealed that Naruto is the reincarnation of Ninja Buddha Jesus so he was destined to be amazing
if I had the free time to watch anime I would give naruto a chance, it's not that bad
What a brave and stunning opinion to hold on Zig Forums!
>>EVERY FIGHT IN CHUNIN EXAMS EXCEPT SAKURA VS INO
Most of them were shit too, besides Rock vs Gaara, only Neji vs Hinata is decent and that can barely be considered a fight.
>>EVERY FIGHT IN CHUNIN EXAM FINALS
Naruto vs Neji fucking SUCKED and the rest were ok-decent.
>>Third Hokage vs Orochimaru
Shit in the manga
>>Naruto vs Gaara*
>>Naruto and Sasuke's final fight
Not that good
>>Lee vs Kimimaro
Gag match, funny but nothing to special.
This but Zig Forums's taste is shit.
>reading the manga
oh shit what are you doing, just watch the anime while skipping filler dear lord. the manga fights are underwhelming.
Found the Naburofags
The chads have spoken.
Naruto is underrated on Zig Forums
user it doesn't fucking work like that. Naruto is a complete story you have to take into account what happens in Part 2.
If it wasn't for Sasuke, the Uchiha's and Occular Jutsu this shit series would have been canceled back in 2004.
Sasuke did nothing wrong by the way.
>I started Naruto this year and its mediocre
You make it sound like Zig Forums loves Naruto or something. Preaching to the choir here
I will never move on, fuck you. It's been mire than a decade since i dropped this shit, and im still pissed. I will nver move on because it makes zero sense, it is illogical. Sakura was right there, they have go through so much and then boom Hinata comes im beacause the hacl writer wants easy drama. Fuck you, fuck naruto, fuck Hinata and fuck the writer. I won't move on, you move on.
Naruto is overrated by ACTUAL fans of Naruto. Because they don't understand the finer points of the series and believe Sasuke is a shitty character who ruined the series.
Naruto is underrated on Zig Forums because user has realized Naruto is a story with subtle Kino moments and amazing foreshadowing. They have also realized Naruto is the worst character in Naruto and Sasuke is actually the main character.
Now Kneel before Chadsuke Narutards and thank him for saving your shitty manga.
>If it wasn't for Sasuke, the Uchiha's and Occular Jutsu this shit series would have been canceled back in 2004.
and that would have been the best outcome, Shippuden is trash.
Not really Hinata's fault that Hackishimoto didn't developed the reletionship of anyone in the manga.
Zig Forums, how would you rank One Piece, Naruto and Bleach?
>Naruto is the worst character in Naruto
lmao what is this 2003 opinion get this shit out of here.
>Hinata
>More popular than Nami
Delusional Hinatard.
Madara is the best
But if that happened we wouldn't get 5 pages of ENTER kino or the reveal that Suna is a village of jobbers who's last 3 presidents were kidnapped and murdered one of them being turned into a puppet.
Seriously Suna should be happy Konoha is willing to protect them from the mean Iwa nin.
Naruto > Bleach > Wan Piss
