Why did people in America get so butthurt about Naruto being inspired by HxH?

...and being better than it as well as somehow less pretentious despite the talk no jutus moment
>muh hiroshima and nagasaki... best arc evah!

no one in america noticed that until the 2011 adaptation concluded

It's called a rip-off.

>>279970572 (OP)
Who cares. Kishimoto is a hack anyways. Samurai 8 flopping pretty much confirmed it.

>>279970572 (OP)
Right is cool left is cringe

>>279970863
It's pretty rare for a mangaka to get more than one hit series. Authors like Takahashi or Toriyama aren't the norm, to say nothing of human gods like Tezuka. Most authors are only known for one, singular huge series they poured their life's work into and everything else they make is obscure.

left is cringe right is cool

Togashi?

>>279971945
no one knows yyh

>>279970572 (OP)
Because Narushit is cancer and Hackmoto ripping off HxH for its success makes it 1000x worse. Kill yourself, Narutard.

>>279971945
yyh was a flop

>>279970863
and HxH flopping confirms the same

>>279970707
Which did at the same time Naruto ended. Funny

>>279970572 (OP)
My brother just started watching 2011, the first thing he said besides it being the gayest thing he ever watched, was that its basically a less interesting Naruto

>>279974262
Not surprised.

>>279974222
kekkypoo!!!

>>279974262
>gayest thing he ever watched

he closes his eyes when you're around?

YYH was part of 90's big 3.

>>279974262
What’s interesting about Naruto? Land of Waves and the Hunter Exam ripoff were ok but past that it’s just lame retrieval missions and fighting generic villains on repeat for like 300 episodes. Complete chore to watch.

>>279974262
Yeah, despite HxH 2011 looking pretty and being an OK adaptation, it feels kinda gay and also generic. I can see it turning a lot of people away because they think it's just another Shonen. Oh well.

>>279970572 (OP)
naruto was a popular show and people get butthurt when you point out that what they like is a ripoff

>>279975742
Is Naruto chasing his emo bf and kneeling to black men supposed to be straight then?

>>279975638
There was no big 3 in 90s
It was all Dragon Ball

>>279970572 (OP)
I used to like HxH 2011. But after rewatching Naruto and watching shippuden for the first time made me appreciate HxH even more. It is what Naruto could have been if it didn't lose its way around Sasuke retrieval and never recovered after. Shippuden tried too hard to be a One Piece copy and failed

>>279976736
I've never heard someone say Shippuden tried to hard to be a One Piece copy. How so?

I find Naruto so bland and boring as a whole, it's not completely awful (aside from Sasuke and everything related to him), but goddamn is it unremarkable.

>>279976164
Slam Dunk was selling more than DragonBall per volume.

>>279970572 (OP)
I see more Harry Potter in this shit than I do HxH. The main villain in part 1 is literally Voldmore.

>>279976736
People underestimate how garbage Shippuden was. But to me the dip started in the Sasuke retrieval arc. So much time wasted over a predictable outcome.

>>279976736
The only reason I prefer Naruto more is because the fights are much better.

>>279970572 (OP)
Did people actually get butthurt or was it just your standard people on the internet loving to argue about everything?
Also Naruto was as influenced by Ushio & Tora as it was HxH if not moreso, shame it doesn't get mentioned as much

>>279970863
Kishi has always been a better artist than writer. I wouldn't blame him for Naruto's weekly serialization burning him out of drawing manga forever, but he probably shouldn't write any more manga as the sole writer either.
