I'd understand you saying Shippuden was great, and the ending was epic, and whatever have you.

But i hate to burst your bubble. From an objective standpoint compared to the manga greats ie FMA, Gash Bell, etc, I can't help but feel like Kishimoto cheated me.

But it's not just me, even if you don't realize it, he cheated you also. And it's a damn shame if you just sit there and accept this. You deserve better than this. We deserve better than this.

The way Shippuden opened up it was all very promising--promising until post Pain arc when Kishi started getting careless with his story. There was a lack of excitement and suspense, danger, emotion, explanations. Everything kishi wrote was so linear.

The good guys never seemed as if they were in genuine danger, maybe it was because of the recurring theme, plot no jutsu. But if you don't think Kaguya was lackluster, then I feel sorry that you accept this as good story telling. As a reader you should want moer, no, you should expect more. Especially from Kishimoto. This ending left me empty, left me thinking there was some chapter I missed, but alas...

Well, it's been one hell of a ride, kishi, thanks.

It really isn't that bad, you just expect it to be perfect and then whine when it isn't. He makes this manga and you couldn't do any better so just stop.

Naruto isn't bad but it isn't great either.. i admit there are some interesting things in the manga which make you want to keep reading.. however compared to some of the other manga's out there i have read Naruto isn't the best at all..

in all honesty i still prefer part 1 than it is now

you're not understanding. I'm not a mangaka. Kishi is a mangaka.

As a mangaka is it not your passion for creating that should make you strive for perfection?

You're gonna need a lot more than that to debate criticism. "Shut up, you can't make better" it's a childish and stupid reply which can't even be called an argument.

This was my first and it had some incredible moments that I will look fondly on for many, many years. The Chunin Exams on Toonami, Orochimaru's debut and Kabuto's betrayal, the Konoha Crash, the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, Zabuza and Haku, the Akatsuki... But FMAB and Death Note blow it out of the water in being all around better.

Part 1 was great.

Shippuden wasn't bad by any means, but this ending just ruins any credibility the series had to its name. It could've been that much better

I admit that Kaguya is not what I expected SO FAR. That being said, I'll wait till she ends officially before I decide.

I wasn't even arguing because obviously your opinions mean nothing, Naruto is one of the highest grossing animes of all time.

i never got the feeling from FMA that any of the good guys were in actual danger tbh. At least Naruto had its main characters sidelined for a while.

and that's the whole point of my thread

as one of the best mangas out there (and my favorite) you should feel cheated that the war arc and the latter actually happened!!!

You should feel cheated that Kaguya was so anticlimactic!!!

grossing so much that it does, you should expect better

don't use numbers as an excuse for a terrible ending

This can't be the end...can it? I mean...overhyping the shietz of Kaguya then sealing her? She was introduced like 10 chapters ago lel

It's not an ending before it ends, so far we can't have a complete opinion. As it was shown Kaguya wasn't so simply sealed. A new Bijuu came out of her and it did look like a Rabbit so wait before jump into conclusions.
