naruto is falling off at a quick rate for me, the plot twists are boring, the characters have no character to them (ironic huh) and it's just become really boxed in now, nothing kishi does will surprise or excite me
unlike one piece on the other hand that has an endless amount of possibilities on where it can be headed, the chapters always are interesting at the very least, even if they aren't the most exciting
the thing with naruto now is that it feels like kishi half asses the chapters throughout the first 15 pages, and then tries to make something interesting happen at the end, which often isn't interesting, and has a reverse effect due to the lackluster quality of the large majority of the chapter
oda, again, uses every bit of his panels and chapters to make them good, and they're mayb filler chapters sometimes, but they are always interesting
no other manga besides one piece can make me legit enjoy flashbacks as much as the regular plot, naruto has the woat flashbacks
just me thinking out loud
