Why Naruto isn't the best anime around

[HokageKid]

I've been rewatching Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, and I've just passed the sasuke danzo fight, and God damn, this anime would probably be my favourite if it weren't for all the constant flashbacks and the sheer amount of fillers.
The past 3 episodes I've seen the sasuke leaving the village and sakura trying to stop him flashback!
Every episode is roughly 23 mins long, and out of that, if you take out the opening credits, the catch up from the last episode, the closing credits, the preview for the next episode and all the flashbacks, you get about 7 minutes fresh content.
Even in the manga there was way too many flashbacks, like we're just forgetting everything that happens.

Lol obviously Naruto isn't the best anime.

 

[Animegoin]

It definitely isn’t the best but it’s the only one that I’ve seen so far that I actually care about enough to have legitimate conversations about.

 

[Askeladd]

And neither the best manga, that would be Berserk.

 

[salamander uchiha]

Agreed kid.

And neither the best manga, that would be Berserk.

The author takes too many breaks which takes away from it's potential. Is he still on break or has he started writing again?

 

[Jinrou]

Didn't read because i agree with the title lol.. Sentimentality of being the first anime i saw aside, it doesn't come close to my top 10 tbh.

 

[HokageKid]

Lol obviously Naruto isn't the best anime.

Yeah but it easily had the potential to be at least top 5

 

[Belserion]

And neither the best manga, that would be the Fate Series.

OMG! Hinabae you like the Fate series as well?!
Totally agreed, brate

Fate is love <3

Maybe if the writer was consistent with his output. They only just got off that bloody boat, been years in real time.

 

[Darth AniCetuS]

Wow didn't know. Thanks mate.

 

[Askeladd]

Agreed kid.

Yeah 3 chapters got released this year + the new chapter is coming in a few days and something BIG is gonna happen so yeah I guess Miura want to finish his story which is a good thing, Berserk deserve an ending.

The breaks doesn't really bother me because after all we end up with panels like this

OMG! Hinabae you like Bleach as well?!
Totally agreed, brate

Bleach is love <3

Wow I didn't know so many people on here liked Bleach, it's a shame it went downhill due to Kubo's health issues. Anyway Ichigo soloes all your faves

Who am I kidding it's just mindless fun and nothing more

3/4 of the flashbacks are only in the anime so blame sp not kishimoto

Yeah I was talking more about the anime than the manga, but there are definitely still too many flashbacks in the manga.
Plus I don't really like the ending of the manga, Madara getting oneshotted by black zetsu and kaguya replacing him as the final villain seemed dumb to me. Madara was a well developed character, rooted throughout the storyline, and Kaguya had been mentioned in like 2 sentences since the creation of the show.

I never got into Bleach. Idk I'm sure it's good but I am usually getting disappointed watching "the big names". I didn't like One Piece, Dragon Ball and Fairy Tail.

 

[Chikombo]

If I could I would redo the anime, tell the 15 year long story with good graphics but sticking to the manga, no extended fights (even though I like them in the anime), no unesseracy shots of nature, no 15 min episodes, no fillers, no fake flashbacks, just pure canon from a 2 b.
Introduce it to a new audience, then if people want to they can watch the original episodes.
Maybe you could divide episodes into books of like ten chapters or cut your own beginnings and endings maybe they could last like 40 min.

 

[iNotorious]

Boruto will follow the same formula. Best thing I've done is not read nor watch it lol

I started Fate/zero like 3 years ago and ended up dropping it after 8 episodes, IIRC the plot was really boring. Maybe, I should try again.

I know a bit about Fate/Grand Order too and all I know is that Mashu is best girl

you're missing alot

Naruto holds nothing against Fairy Tail.
