Naruto sucks. Not because it is annoyingly mainstream, but because the plot is long and dry. I read for three hundred chapters and stopped because I was bored.
I understand you, and I know that there are some episodes that makes someone bored, but to be honest, there are episodes that is, awesome
(consider the Shippuden)

Naruto, eh...

They keep on giving us boring , not to mention pointless, flashbacks. Man, I want to see the main thing on TV! They deprive us from knowing what happens after those flashies! Is that too big a desire? Seriously, they always focus on flashbacks so long it almost takes up the whole episode...

Other than that, I'm fine with the series. They have good fighting scenes, the plot is fine, while Sasuke is my fave character, but I don't like the fact he has to be a "villian", while Naru-kun can take all the glory! No fair~ :'(

(Note to self: Oh, tomorrow is "Naruto watching time", be sure to watch it, it's Sasuke deciding to go with that Orochimaru guy...)

i didnt watch the first one cause of filler. i read the manga and only watched the chunin exams fights, the garaa fight, the bit where their chasing sasuke and the sasuke naruto fight. i've watched most of the Shippuden and love it though im not sure how 4kids would go about dubbing it. :P

Obsessed with the manga. The anime? meh.

I mean, the plot is awesome if you really delve deep into it (Not as deep as say...Death Note, but still) and it's one of those series that the manga ka give tibits before it actually happens. Alot of idea's have come out this way and they have come out true.

It's just the anime i'm not fond of. I'll watch it, but meh.

mmm, I was bored to see Naruto and I didn't reach more than 30 chapters :S And I thought that the manga was better than the anime, but nope! I was bored just to watch and watch and watch and know that there were a big bunch of episodes left, annoying! >_< And I didn't like Naruto as the main protagonist >_>

What can I say...?

I can say that Naruto is more of a touchy-feely subject then it really needs to be, no thanks to some bandwagon jumpers who haven't even read Naruto because they won't "Touch it with a ten-foot-barge-pole".

But other than that, I think it's a good series. Not a great, omg-wtf-somebody-pinch-me-the-new-episode-chapter-is-out! series, but it's definitely not as horrendous as some people make it out to be. Some concepts bother me, (The orange needs to go. <_< Orange ninja's are not cool, they are colorblind and fashionably impaired.) but others are actually really cool- maybe not original, but cool.

But thanks to this crazy propoganda on the series, most people either HATE IT'S GUTS or LOVE IT LIKE THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER. Frankly, the people who can sit in the middle have my respect, because that's exactly the way I see this series. It was definitely very good in the beginning, with the Haku and Zabuza arc, and such. When people talk about the series, "Dragging things on", those people have obviously never watched the atrocity that is Dragon Ball Z. :| But that's a different subject that I'll leave for a different thread.

What I mean is that, people whine and gripe about things that you can find in plenty of other anime, and I think that's just... ugh. Why is Naruto the only one who's deemed Guilty? Objection!

Carrying on.

To me, it's just something to give a slow kick off to my weekly Shounen Jump reads. It's not amazing, it's not horrendous, but it's enjoyable enough to keep up with; maybe skip a few arcs here and there, but hey.

i think some naruto episodes makes a person so mad, like the episode of, sorry i forget, all i remember is when naruto is attacked by the snake thing
降り出した夏の雨が
涙の横を通っと、すっと
思い出とダブル映像
秋のドラマ再放送
どうして同じ様なパンチ
何度も食らっちゃうんだ
それでもまた戦うんだろう
それが命の不思議
繰り返す季節の中で
靴がすり減って行く
もっと肩の力抜いて
過去は何処かに閉っておけ
ここからそう遠くないだろう
見たこともない景色
止まらない胸の痛み超えて
もっと君に近ずきたいよ
一回りしては戻り
青い空をずっと手探り
好きで好きでどうしようもない
それとこれとは関係ない...

Well said, especially the bold-faced part! :cer_nod:

Personally, I'm one of the Naruto-obsessed fans, though :D (it's awesome!!). But, yeah, I wish people at least give the series a chance before dismissing it as so-called "crap".
IMO, if you've had experiences in real-life that can relate to some of the situations in Naruto (i.e., shattered bonds that one once had and coveted, being despised/hated unfairly by everyone in your surroundings (especially when the hatred stems from something out of your control :(), then the series is actually interesting, or even life-changing to some.
I just hope that all the people dismissing Naruto can change their pt of view someday, or at least recognize the fact that the Naruto series actually helps some people relate to and/or endure everyday struggles that might go unnoticed in the real world.

P.S. I actually think Naruto's orange outfit is okay, but it could use some more black. The fact that he can act as a ninja wearing orange is astounding in itself; normally that'd be a foolish death sentence :P, but in Naruto's case, it seems like he's so skilled, he can wear orange without getting caught/killed, as a testament to his skill instead of wearing the traditional black of ninja :). That's just how good he is (though many would disagree :laugh:).

i used to looooooooooooooooooooooove naruto...but..one piece took that title lol...naruto is still one of my faves..anime/manga although the show, if they need to make fillers they should atleast make them fun to watch or...cooler lol and what kills me the most are those scenes where they stare down eachother or it just shows them doing nothing then they talk for about 3 minutes which feels lyk an hour! i want more ninja action i gues and maybe the people that reject the show just cant relate to it..oh well i still think naruto is great :)

OMG...Naruto...
I really don't like that anime very much.
It's too overrated and everyone makes such a big deal out of it when it's just another normal anime that doesn't really show as much originality as its hyped up to be.
The plot is only mediocre and the character development isn't that great.
When I tried to watch/get into it, I watched a few episodes and was just totally bored. There's way too many fillers for its own good. The manga...it's a little better but the anime's just so overrated.

~Sorry to all the Naruto fans who read this. I have nothing against you.

Spoiler:
It's overrated
*hides from Naruto fans*
Overall, it is ookay but there are many underrated animes that better...
Bleach is not one of them. *shot*
Naruto. Bleach. Overrated.
Overrated = Famous = Even more Overrated.
I remember the first anime I saw, Naruto. My cousin told me about it. Then after finishing the latest episode, I moved on. Bleach. Why? Because it was famous. There were comments for the videos comparing them.
Conclusion: Almost everyone, even if not a fan, has seen these overrated animes before. Thus, in manga's top section, these mangas always get seen. Thus, they get more famous and thus become MORE overrated.

I don't know alot about Naruto.
But when I went to America, I watched Naruto for a couple of hours while we were eating and it bored me to death. The plot didn't interest me at all and the voices annoyed me, severely.

I really think Naruto is overrated, I still can't believe so many people enjoy it ^^ But what the hell, as long as I don't watch it again, I'm happy.

OMG what can't you say about it? I love how Naruto and Sasuke fight like brothers when they aren't. Naruto still hopelessly hits on Sakura. The background music is cool. Choji still thinks he isn't fat. Might Guy is as weird as ever. Lee can fight again! I thought Lee wasn't gonna be able to fight again. Naruto still has his dream and never gives up because of it.....

Manga: Stupid dude who replaces Sasuke. He has no emotions and totally rips on sasuke! Man if I could get my mitts on him.......How come Sakura is a Chunin and Naruto is still a Genin? Naruto could destroy her! Can't wait to see battle between Naruto and Orochimaru when Kabuto is there. If I were Naruto and I saw Kabuto I wouldn't have been sitting there I would have ambushed him right off the bat, because the stupid double crosser didn't die in their first battle!

Anyway love the series:P

The only reason I watched the anime was to see how they moved...but it ruined what I had imagined as their voices.

But now, the anime is going through filler hell, as is Bleach. But thats why I'm glad I subscribe to Shonen Jump- I get a good dose of both the Naruto and Bleach manga in English, not censored to badly...and NO FILLERS! xD

I like the first season.It used to be my favourite anime(now it's Death Note) but I think they really messed up the second one.The episodes just drag on and on and nothing interesting ever happens.Even when there's a special double episode it's still boring.They spend half of the time just looking and at eachother and remembering stuff.It's really annoying that's why I don't watch it anymore.Not to mention the techniques.In the first season they used kunais,shurikens,explosive tags and strategies.And that was really fun to watch because you could see that being a ninja is not all about power(I did at least).But now it's just about my "jutsu is stronger than yours!"It's all about the supermassive attacks.I really don't like it.

Oh yeah another thing, I actually like the fillers. Well they are still on because now CN is dragging them out, lol. More character development for the most part. The characters will do another things than just fighting. But I do agree it is overrated and there a some insane fans out there. But I still like it. I am watching Shippuuden right now. And that is pretty good too. And I been reading the manga. I do hope CN will air Shippuuden. But if not, VIZ please put it on DVD.
