Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal user can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.
However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.
Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to Jow Forums, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every user to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.
[spoiler] the few last episodes was retarded, that guy back stabbing that guy and that guy backstabbing that guy. Also, one over powered person to the next. naruto is retarded [/spoiler]
Never saw Naruto but Evangelion is overrated as shit, extremely pretentious. Even the creators admitted most of the religious symbolism meant nothing, it was just added to look cool.
Only the Hidan & Kakuzu arc, where a character who is not a faggot (Shikamaru) temporarily becomes the protagonist. Then it goes back to being mostly shit
initial pre-Shituden Naruto was great, your average story about a lonely special kid that becomes stronger and faces greater challenges as the story progresses and he grows up
contains one of my favourite characters of all time in any kind of story, Rock Lee - basically there are 3 different ways of fighting and he was so worthless at 2 of them that he literally only focuses on one, and fucking owns that shit. just so happens to be physical fighting, and he becomes a fucking tank from it. no scene will ever give me larger goosebumps than The Scene where he takes off weights.
