Really?
For all I know the anime was terrible, no character development, lots of plotholes, it was more like the author was just checking off all the cheesy moments list, this done-this done, now end the episode.
Couldn't watch more then three episodes tbh, now assuming that the manga is remotely close to the anime, Naruto is already way better, in every way, unless the anime and manga are entirely two different things, then I know nothing.
