Kill yourself narutard

they ran out of ideas to make a compelling story. naruto started to grow and improve too fast towards the end of part 1 and they had to nerf him and shift focus to his rival to milk the story as long as possible

Naruto is still hands down one of the best shonen ever. Great characters, great fights, good story and in general the anime is good quality.

Naruto got hurt but the ungodly amount of fillers. You can safely ignore then nowadays but it's still one of the main critiques the anime gets.

Now, talking about the actual anime, I believe Sasuke is the weak link. The anime does a poor job portraying him as a compelling antagonist. He mostly looks and acts like a fucking asshole and it feels like there's no real motivation for what he does. Failing to understand Sasuke and the Uchiha's place in the story really hurts its development.

Naruto is a very romantic and poetic anime in many senses and it would benefit from making it easier for the viewer to understand what Sasuke stands for in the story.

>Did Naruto's obsession with Sasuke ruin the series?
The way he expressed it anyway, if he'd have been more lowkey about it like Sasuke then there would be a lot less people cringing about how pathetic and possessive his obsessive love affair with him is

Was it the kiss that made him obsessed?

Yes, but so did the plot armor & infinite ass pulls kishi gave to susky

Fashblacks of them being even younger shows Nard was already obsessed with him

You can't ruin something that was already bad, but sure, the series became worse because of it.

p2 robbing itself of the Naruto/Sasuka dynamic and completely robbing Naruto of a compelling narrative (seriously, he plain isn't participating in p2) hurt the series the most.

For some weird reason, Naruto and Sasuke really aren't part of the p2 story.

Basically

He’s really not that hard to understand. I feel like the manga was better though honestly and I think every fan should read through it at least once to see what actually happened and what was shit the studio made up.

After witnessing the story threads, i am sure that Kishimoto has some surpressed homo complex he cant deal with.

Not as obsessed as later.

Yes

I would say not making Sasuke the MC post-Pain ruined the series, as well as Kishi's inability to handle more mature, heavy themes

Naruto was a hating ass nigga with no male guidance in his life, due to this he grew up to be very effeminate and emotional like a female theres an old saying that theres a VERY THIN line between love and hate and Naruto proves this, he stalked and hated Sasuke from the shadows because he was better than him and that eventually turned into homosexual infatuation like with all men who hate on other men, once he got to know Sasuke and saw he was just a confident charismatic cool bro dude it was over, add in the accidental kiss and pic-related, Naruto was in love and chased him ever since, eventually he turned off his gaydar and had sex with a woman once he became a chad and bitches started throwing themselves at him and realized being gay is degenerate and disgusting

Naruto should've fucked Sasuke

It was the only notable thing about the series post-chuunin exam.

He wasn’t obsessed with her? It was just a childish crush he had because he wanted to show up the dude he wanted to surpass. It was always about saucekek. He is his obsession.

I guess, we will have to agree to disagree

Homolust was the core of the narrative

If he was more low-key about it then there would be a ton of people complaining about why he didn't just kill Sasuke.

>Implying Naruto ever stopped being gay.
You've heard of beards, right?

Or you could make your case but alright. He was over it post timeskip.

you already said that you see it as just a crush, we would be discussing semantics at that point.

He got married.

Yes.

>Fujo coping
Both Naruto and Sasuke had a crush on Sakura. The kiss was accidental and they both puked when it happened, holy kek you cannot be this delusional

Yes, and?

>Sasuke had a crush on Sakura.
>being this delusional

Holy shit user, I hope you are trolling

It's in the manga, speedreader. He seemed to have gotten rid of it in Shippuden though.
