I think Naruto was good, even though it started to fall apart at the end. I watched alot of Naruto shippuden, but I got bored of it pretty quickly and stopped somewhere in the middle of the great War. Instead, I quickly read the rest of it because it's faster and I was glad when it's over.
I think the reason it started to fall apart at the end of Naruto and the most of Naruto shippuden was Naruto's change of character. I think the writer did the mistake of giving people what they want. Naruto was this annoying character, but you loved him because he would sometimes show us his nice side and that's how we tolerated him. Of course, people, including me, liked the parts where characters would feel bad for Naruto or impressed by him. But at the end of Naruto, he becomes this emotional mess and he felt like a second Sakura. His character stayed like that and in Naruto shippuden, the writer just had to make everyone pitty Naruto and also get impressed by how cool and strong he is. It was fun at the beginning, but it ran dry quick.
I'm also annoyed by how Naruto acted when it came to Sasuke; the Naruto I knew and loved would get angry and look for Sasuke and kick his ass to teach him a lesson. But for the majority of Naruto shippuden, he gets all depressed and sad at how he couldn't save his friend. Which, again, was pretty out of character for the character. I feel like Naruto abruptly turned from a kid to a mature man. It was not gradual. I know he spent three years away, but we didn't see him transition.
I haven't watched the show in ages, and I'm relying on my shitty memory.
I'm probably just retarded, but idk. Can we discuss?
Nothing, it was a mediocre battle shonen turned soap opera what went wrong for everyone else who happened to watch anime? The naruto fanbase

We already have like 3 Narutothreads and this is such a generic question and thread too. We have this all the time. Naruto was always great so ofc contr/a/rians would disagree. Mods remove this post. We have like 3 Naruto threads going on rn

I meant part 1,it was not flawless, but an overall good show
Henry Davis
Only Naruto and Sakura cares about Sasuke. Naruto wanking is the worst and it ruined the series. He went from some underdog dude from the child of prophecy.
Aiden Gutierrez
You watched the anime lol what were you expecting???
Lucas Green
It really wasn't, everything after land of waves was mediocre at best
Charles Brown
Fuck u, it took my sausage fingers 10 min to write this shit. Don't try deleting it
Juan Lopez
I also read the Manga years after. same problem, I didn't even bother to finish it

It's a pointless thread with predicable replies, user.
it was more than just about Sasuke, is was also about Naruto proving he could actually accomplish his ideals . "how can I become Hokage if I can't even save a single nakama?" is his mantra. Naruto conflated "save sasuke" with "be hokage material"
Wyatt Jones
Naruto's whole schtick was about never going back on his word and never giving up so it would also be really strange if he...gave up on saving him
Kayden Williams
I know, but don't u think it should've happened with a different attitude?
Eli Clark
Naruto should be in Sage mode forever, he was much smarter when he was like that
Kayden Bennett
True.
Jackson Wright
He was always a child or prophecy.
Henry Evans
most of the story bits where not bad, the problem is the connection, I blame the weekly schedule, it is not enough time to create a good story.
