Sigh. I don't want to do this. But I have to. I used to love this series, but as time went on... it just got worse. So this is it. I'm going all in. A critique of Naruto... we start with the good stuff first.

5:33 1000% agreed. The fact that we never see team 7 act as an actual team and get to know each other, undermined one of the core values of "Naruto". Because, Naruto's bond with Iruka and his team are what was supposed to have kept him from being like Gaara, yet we didn't get any substance to the supposed bond they had. p.s. thank you for not blindly hating Sakura. I agree that her character is frustrating, but the way people attack her, while excusing every other character for doing the same things that she does, makes their videos unbearable to sit through.

I had a really odd argument with someone a while ago where they couldn’t get that neji was right all along. Basically he said that none of the things naruto had going for him since birth made him a better ninja. It was going nowhere quickly because he refused to admit being born with amazing genes, an infinite source of chakra (his nine tails is even easier to control) a connection to the god of your world and even having legendary ninjas as your god parents has a factor

i dont get the anti sasuke sentiment. im not talking about the hate for his writing in part 2 but the hate people have for his personality. i dont get it. it makes sense for him to be who he is given how fucked up his life was. its amazing he was even as decent of a person he was back then.

Yea, Like tbh his FUCKING BROTHER KILLED HIS FAMILY AT 7, 7 YEARS OLD AND WAS FORCED BY HIS BROTHER TO WATCH HIM Murder HIS CLAN . He was really tame in part 1 having to witness that. I knew kid who witnessed their dad kill themselves at 13, and he was mentally fucked up for a while on drugs. For sasuke he wasn't that bad in part 1, just a kid who really wanted power to avenge his family which I feel most humans would do.

@addster124
@addster124 4 года назад
@@shi3918 its complicated. his purpose for living was to get revenge. it kept his sanity. his friends couldn't get what he's gone through. if he met someone that went through the same trauma and decided a different then maybe he would've been more willing to listen. naruto had a tough past but there were still some differences such as not watching his love ones go away. in part 1, he was distant but i always felt like he got a bad rap because he at least didn't bother people. he checked on naruto in the land of waves arc when sakura and kakashi couldn't be bothered after he was gone for a day. he sacrifice his life instinctual to save him. things changed after itachi arrived but before that, i thought he was good kid given how fucked up his situation was.

True. Its mainly because instead of acknowledging how fk up he was becoming in universe, Kishi wrote Sasuke in a way in which the audience was suppose to like him, while Naruto and no one else every held him accountable for his actions.
@subratanandy2142
@subratanandy2142 10 месяцев назад
Because Sasuke , after losing people he held dear , proceeds to use people and throw them away ( attempt to kill them ) once they're not good enough for him . He commits atrocities one after another and gets no repercussions . Suddenly Orochimaru and Kabuto want to help him out of nowhere and he is forgiven for everything. He is a horrible husband and a deadbeat father and when his kid rightfully calls him out , she is gaslit . Sasuke isn't a good person, so we dislike him .

Ah, fond memories that you regret having. Back around 03/04, I heard the Naruto name being tossed around, but it sounded so odd to me, especially when I heard the character was a ninja (orange? Really?) One day I found the first volume on a bookshelf, picked it up, and found myself enjoying it. At the time, it felt like Kishimoto knew what he was talking about, but after discovering how much of the world building of Naruto came from his editors and not him, it has greatly soured my opinion of the series and shows we were headed towards disaster no matter what. While I thoroughly enjoyed Part 1, I did take issues with it. Namely how the Wave arc was the only one where we got to see Team 7 as a team, and from there I thought we got too many characters at once. But looking to its potential in the future gave me high hopes, which unfortunately it did not live up to in the long run. While it is a bit early to get into, I actually did enjoy Naruto and Sakura’s interactions. How Sakura seemed to view Naruto as a loser but was really similar to him, not to mention how far Naruto would go just to make her happy. And when I looked to the fanbase’s thoughts on this...let’s just say it wasn’t pretty.

@@ayhamahmad2277 Okay, are you just here to start an argument? First you say Kishimoto came up the ideas, then you agree his editors often had the ideas and act like I said the opposite. Kishimoto did not even intend for Naruto to be about Ninja until Yahigi told him so. From there Yahigi built the world of Naruto for him. There's an illustration of the early staff posing like Yakuza, with Yahigi in the front. Kishimoto is off sulking in the corner. That was basically the hierarchy of the team.

I don’t “love and hate” this series... I sort of like and hate it. A mix of good ideas with some bad ideas and a lot of poor execution. Its attempts at eliciting emotions were usually overly sentimental, Naruto was stupidly idealistic, characters I initially liked or was hoping to like get shafted (Lee, Neji, etc.), Naruto and Sakura’s forced/unearned “relationships” with Sasuke, and every character is a type of Naruto or Sasuke (and Sasuke is a type of Naruto). In HxH, Morj says the theme is humanity but in Naruto the titular character IS humanity (and that’s stupid because he’s stupid).

​@@christopherrivera1673 Classic Naruto was great as it was all about inspiration, hard work and determination overcoming natural talent. Naruto's world building, characterisation and themes were incredibly captivating and only began to go downhill in Shippuden as it began to mainly focus on the conflicts between Naruto and Sasuke whilst forgetting all of the other characters that were built up in the first series. I really liked the fact that many of the main villains paralleled Naruto in one way shape or form as it really tied together this whole theme of nature vs nurture, that even though some people are born with amazing gifts and talents whereas other were not, they could almost always find a way to connect with one another through the suffering that they had endured allowing us to see how people may not be as different as they seem at first glance, which gives the audience insight into the various nuances of peoples situations and how complicated the world can actually be. Allowing us as the viewers to ponder on these ideals, seeing how circumstances can shape us into to who we are and whether or not letting the evil of this world turn us into cynical and pessimistic monsters is best, or if striving to overcome the evil in and around us through genuine love, perseverance and forgiveness is the better option.
