I remember watching Naruto a while back and remember dropping it for some reason, so I never really got to Shippuden. Of course, I’ll admit that I’m hypocritical for judging an anime that I never finished. With that being said, I don’t really get why Naruto fans exaggerate the series so much. In my eyes, it wasn’t necessarily bad, but it isn’t good either. There were many questionable writing decisions that didn’t sit right with me. In my opinion, Naruto is a good starter anime, but the more anime you watch, the more you realize how flawed Naruto actually was. That being said, what do you all think of Naruto?
I think the original series is pretty damn amazing. Shippudden has its ups and downs. Even if you ignore the (bad) fillers, the ending is just trash. On the other hand, it has the best moments of the show and lots of great characters getting lots of screentime, so its hard to ignore.
(I don’t know shit about Boruto 😁)
Boruto is like 95% “anime canon” that isn’t technically filler but doesn’t move the actual story along at all
