I think CN made a good choice to have this show and Bleach appear after the end of DB: GT, as both are great follow ups. The only thing I don't like about the series is the pointless filler episodes. Two or three in a row is okay, but it's been weeks and seeing as they give two new episodes every Saturday, that's a lot of fillers. And in regards to the Manga, the battles are WAY too long winded.

It's not a horrible series, but it's just way too overrated. There are tons of better, well thought series that aren't horribly cliche'd without fights that last like... 6 episodes or something. No, no, don't tell me I haven't read the series. I've read all the chapters that were released thus far; but, I'm just saying, it isn't as good as a lot of people say it is. Then again, I'm a picky little "female dog", so beh.

The story drags on quite a bit, and I like the subbed version much better than dubbed, but I don't really mind it. There's too many kids who just kind of... wreck it I guess.

I can say about Naruto that my name totally isn't based of a character from it.

Shippuuden is better and even it turned into semi-fail. I prefer the manga, and even then, good luck making me read it.

It's a good thing to pass the time, though.

I don't like it. People have made me watch some episodes, but I just couldn't get past the first ten.

I don't like the characters, I don't like the setting, I don't think it's funny, I don't like the action sequences, and the story is very uninteresting and uninspired. Besides, it's too long and will continue to drag on for forever.

Just not my kind of anime.

That it's overrated like hell, the author doesn't know where the hell the story's going, and that the majority of the fanbase are idiots for complaining about "Believe it!" replacing "-dattebayo!" despite both having the same level of obnoxiousness.

I'm glad to see there are a few sensible people commenting on this topic. What's funny is that a alot of people that complain about the latter don't even know what "-dattebayo!" means. And watch now. One person will say what it means on the topic in response to me and everyone will claim that they knew it all along.

Overrated is an understatement though. I will admit that it's alot better than One Piece though (of course, most shows are better than One Piece).

Yeah, "-dattebayo" is just made up of random katakana. It doesn't mean anything.

LIES, LIES, FILTHY LIES.

One Piece is light-hearted fun, doesn't fall into the cliches Naruto does, and the true shounen successor to Dragonball. Hell, I'd say it was the superior. Naruto should be light-hearted fun, as it's in the same make as Dragonball, but takes itself far too seriously. I'm going with my "like a clown with a serious face" point.

I haven't watched Shippuuden, because to me it sucked with it's wrong musics, super-lenghty fights and filler episodes. I've read the manga, though, as it's published in Japan, and I like it, so I'm thinking of trying Shippuuden again in some time. The story has taken interesting twists and become more deep, and Naruto isn't as annoying anymore (Sasuke is, though...). All in all I think the manga is way better, but the anime is good too. And one of the best episodes was a filler! Remember the one where they spaculate what's under Kakashi-senseis mask? I loved that one :D (btw it's about the only filler I watched. I tried to watch others, but I ended up drawing and doodling and not paying attention to the episodes...)

Though i havnt experienced shippuuden or the manga, there was a lot about naturo i just didnt like. One thing was that it pulled a lot of DBZ's; fights that last more than 1 2 3 4 episodes, an action style ive never liked (everyone having over super-human powers for no good reason), some overused character styles, and just some other small things that bugged me. I watched a video on youtube that made a good point about it; when it comes to fights, fist theres like 5 episodes of balltes, then after that, one character goes "oh, i see what happened", and recited the entire fight in depth, ironically in the time it should have taken for the whole fight to happen. I did like it for a little while, but overall ive never even been a fan of shonnen jump, and the series' i did like i got bored with rather quickly.

Naruto is a cool anime series and loved by many ninja-aspirants. So what can you say about it?
This just made me laugh so much. Who do you know aspires to be a ninja, and isn't under 13? Considering that the ninja in Naruto don't act like real ninja; they dress in bright clothes, use magic and do missions NOT AT ALL SILENTLY!! LOUD NOISES!!!!!

FTR, there are ninjitsu schools in Japan, but considering the use for ninja has fallen as time has gone on, it's more a sort of hobby, like kendo and karate. These guys use ninjitsu correctly, dress in black, and act like proper ninja.

If you want to be a ninja, Naruto isn't the show to watch to get you in the right mindset.

If you don't watch it enough to really follow the plot, it's actually good. If it's on, I'll watch it, but since I work 40 hrs a week I don't really get to much. The battles and such are cool (if you realize that they're not trying to be real ninja), the "magic" is cool if you know that it's not real ninja abilities, and it's often times funny.

Slightly off topic, anyone play Naruto Arena?

JA NO KUCHI~
I'm not much for watching it lately.
I like to read it much more - most of the anime is just fillarfillarfillar.

Naruto has its ups and downs, currently at shippuden epiusode 63+ it started getting really good with konoha almost biend destroyed, im at the edge of my seat with this part of shippuden, shippuden hasnt been good since the defeat of sasori sadly. But this part is waaay better than the Rescure Gaara Arc.

Please don't hate me for saying this, but it's a pretty mediocre show. The plot, for me at least, is rather predictable and I haven't read since volume 230 something. It was a scanlation. The characters aren't that great. This is just my opinion. I'm just sick of the mainstream stuff right now because after learning about the basics of literature, my brother ranting about that kind of stuff, and terrible fanfiction which tells me to turn away from it all. ^^;

My thoughts exactly. Plus the fanbase. One of my ex-roommates really liked Naruto, and though she wasn't like a typical Narutard (Narutard being the crazy kind, not someone who just likes to watch/read), she still got defensive and argued with me just because I said I didn't like it. She had plenty of other things going against her, too. The real Narutards have also annoyed me to the point where even seeing a Naruto-related banner ad on the internet makes me kind of agitated. I don't think it has enough going for it for me to get past the fanbase. There are plenty of animes out there, and I think I can afford not to like something for its fanbase when there are plenty of other, better choices out there.
