I hate you guys
Naruto is objectively kino. I just started watching it. All characters are visually distinct and it would also be possible to only describe their character and recognize them based purely on that. Sakura for example is kinda like ranni from Elden Ring, she has an expressive visual ghost version of her. She is the only character in the whole anime, who has that. Many other characters also have very distinct character traits, which are often visually represented too. It was no problem for me to remember all of the characters introduced in the first 50 episodes. Naruto does this really well. Also every single unique flashback, which wasn't a recap, was very interesting. I wasnt bothered by a single one. They also were expertly woven with the action happening in the moment. That is also objectively good story telling.

I have no idea why you freaks are hating on Naruto. I hate Millennials, who completely cater to the approved opinions of their social bubble. You probably hate it, because you let some cringy spergs have so much influence over you to hate the anime.

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.

>What's so roguelite about it?
They eliminated save-scumming through in-game mechanics. Instead of a game over, you revive at a bon fire. You lose all of your souls of your run, unless you are able to reach the area, where your previous run ended. You can also return to a Nexus and completely change your equipment to do another type of run.
I really like that it's like that. In any other type of game, you'd just reload instead. But it's not like you waste your time doing these runs. You can find moon grass and other items, which dont get lost. So if you get good enough, you will finish a run with more healing items than health you lost.

I even called it roguelite instead of roguelike, so people like you dont get triggered. I will stop that now and always use roguelike.

>muh female rulers are better at war myth
Survivorship bias. Every single known female ruler had to do two things:
>declare her interest in ruling directly and be taken seriously, which requires certain attributes
>survive a succession crisis
Also female rulers have the natural advantage to attract lots of ambitious, competent men, who are willing to prove themselves. In fact the natural marriage candidat of a female ruler is a competent general.

So I think its retarded as fuck to conclude that female rulers are somehow inherently more competent at war or framed in a negative, moralistic way: warmongers. Or that female rulers are more competent based on their gender. People, who think that, probably hate any kind of natural selection process.
