As always, there are discussions and arguments for & against about many subjects as well as for Naruto's influence on audience. I've personally heard some of them and I think Naruto has influenced me positively.
Although there are arguments on the way the manga is represented, it indeed shows Naruto's psychological, physical, and social challenges as well as his friends'. It can be educative, it shows some real situations which are showed in supernatural world; and those bones created between the characters, as well as their growth and maturing, comic moments can influence positively (especially on younger children) because it fosters good values which we need to develop: selfishness, socialization, fight for justice, never to give up, care for your friends and family, protection of your loved ones and your home etc.
On the other side, the main disadvantages why there are arguments against is: supernatural world and violence. It is said that Naruto can influence watchers (especially young children and teenagers) negatively and lead them to violent behavior (mentally and physically) or make them think supernatural exists on real world (very young children) but I disagree with this. What are parents for? They should be the ones who will explain them what is needed to be explained, not just put them in front of TV, and let them watch everything, right? Older children and teenagers know it already, there is no need to discuss about that.
So, my conclusion is: Naruto has positively influenced me and has changed some of my thoughts about life. It hasn't influenced me negatively because I'm old enough to distinguish unreal from real and to learn something from that. I also think very young children shouldn't watch Naruto without parents' previous explanation about unreal things that appear in Naruto series because they are too young to understand the point of this manga and will only seek for fight which could indeed influence them negatively. So, Naruto manga has positive influence and should be watched by little older public, then there is no negative influence.(teenagers, adults etc.)
What is your opinion? How has Naruto manga influenced you? Comment, discuss, like, don't like and don't leave rude comments! I'm curious whether you agree or disagree with my opinion and, of course, if you have something to add, feel free to comment!
