why were you /a/sexual fucks bad-mouthing Naruto? The manga and anime are based as fuck
>features realistic political conflict between feudal states (sand ninjas hate having their military budget cut and their work being outsourced, so they try to drag the sand and leaf village into a war to get properly funded again)
>that is also why they created a child soldier fused with a sand demon
>interesting world which blends tradition, mythology and modern technology selectively in a way where aesthics and vibes are more important than comprehensive lore (get fucked, nerds)
>girl ninjas are literally taught how to be feminine, gentle and kind and how to pick flowers in girl ninja school
>every character is distinct and interesting, despite there being so many of them, somehow it's not hard to remember them
>edge-core characters, who aren't cringy
>characters like the toad sage would be considered pedophiles by overly sensitive modern standards today (forced Naruto to train in his sexy girl form)
I really don't know WHY I am supposed to hate Naruto. I am currently watching the chunin arc. It's great. Fuck you, you cynics.

It's not a crunchyroll exclusive anymore so Sony hired some israeli shills to hate on it. Just like the frieren hate threads, they're all noise and no arguments.

ftfy
zoomers love frieren because of the relative lack of fanservice.

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 anon 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 /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon 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.

I don't get it. The anime introduced hundreds of characters, but they are all distinct visually with distinct characters. Edgyness isn't bad. At least it's something real and honest, not cynical or comedic. And there really isnt a lot of shipping going on. Ino and Sakura are having an open fight, but it's more about their rivalry between each other than their crush on Sasuke. The only other "shipping" incident is Hinatay which is mostly one-sided admiration. I don't know why that is already bad. Maybe your memory of the anime and your hatred of the fanbase back then has completely replaced the anime for you.

Fucking kikes, man

>>279852615
Frieren is overrated Isekai slop and deserves the hate.

i used to say i like naruto to a dude who i asume watch anime and that dude keep saying thing like naruto suck and it turned out hes one piece fan and try to get me onto one piece i was not really a fan of both just wanted to be friends the dude lmao you anime tard hate each other so much

>>279852506 (OP)
All of Naurto's supposed realistic political conflict is superficial reasoning to set up the next fight with everything about being disregard by the end of the arc.

Hoodweebs and shipfags ruined Naruto. Aside from its fans, it's a pretty decent show (if you don't count the godawful fillers which are seemingly made to entertain 12 year olds with down syndrome)

>>279853002
Like I said. The anime favors athmosphere and vibes over an autistic literary canon. And the anime is about Ninjas. Not Ninjas, Samurai and Daimyos. So it focuses on the ninja perspective like it should. But it still takes place in a world that makes sense.

>>279853053
Good thing I can just watch it now without noticint anything about the fanbase.

>>279853254
You expect people to laud Naruto for substitute world building with vibes? And naruto's setting is about Ninjas, more specifically the one or two ninja clans from Leaf. It's world is far larger and less sensible.

Tell your boss to update your talking points please, it's getting ridicolous.
Also your contract is not getting renewed and no amount of astroturfing will make horrendous gookslop competitive. The IDF needs more grunts, by the way.

>>279852506 (OP)
The show focuses too much on its worst characters. It gives Sasuke and Sakura too much screentime despite them being awful in every way, while characters like Shino, Kiba, Ino, Tenten, Rock Lee, Neji and Gaara are shafted at every turn. If I wanted to read about the sort of disgusting Stockholm dynamic that Sasuke and Sakura have I'd just read Twilight.

How does /a/ do it?

>>279855664
You almost had some credibility until you opened with Kiba, Ino and Tenten out of every possible choice.

>>279852506 (OP)
You just described Naruto pre-timeskip, which everyone loves. You'll change your tune come Shippuden.

uhhh ok

>>279852506 (OP)
Yeah, Naruto pre-timeskip in particular is a great Shonen manga. At its best I consider it to be equal or sometimes better than One Piece (my favorite Shonen), entertainment wise at least. Post timeskip is where Naruto gets worse. There are some cool moments, but the lows are so low and the story gets so overwrought that I couldn't help but drop it. I wonder if zoomers see Part 1 and 2 differently than millenials, having the whole series available from the start.

>>279855838
Nta but the reason a lot of the side cast sucks is because kishi didn't bother building their character beyond giving them one quirk as a personality and zero character motivation to focus on just more Uchiha power ups

>>279852506 (OP)
Naruto has objectively the most highs in the history of fictional story
