Personally, my first experience was the anime in french. I discovered the japanese version years later and started to read the manga. However, I feel that the anime has done a greater job in conveying emotions and the exceptional writing in the creation of characters. It is then that I felt that Naruto and anime in general was much different from other cartoons and can reflect real life in general.

Part 1: Somehow, it portrayed a little boy who wanted acknowledgement but didn't have the power and was always giving his best. The anime which emphasised the scene with sad soundtracks(sadness and sorrow, hokage funeral) played a crucial role in making the watcher discover the protagonist.

Part 2:

It had less impact than part 1 because part 2 was more action-packed but however, had greater story telling and plot especially the pain arc where you see how someone can turn into a villain because of a deceased friend and parents.


So, returning to topic, I feel that Naruto had taught me life-lessons because the writer succeeded in transmitting his experiences and feelings. That is what make the manga unique-it is not simply entire fiction. If you look behind the plot, you would feel that Masashi Kishimoto's inspiration is from real life and friends. I once read one of his interview and apparently, at a time, he was involved in war.

Regrettably, that emotional aspect of the manga is gone now because naruto is recognised currently and regarded as a worthy ninja.


What are your feelings and do you feel that the anime has done a better job if you exclude poor animation and constant flashbacks.

I try not to get to deep into Naruto but there are a lot of aspects of Naruto that are inspirations for me in life. For example, Naruto's gutsy determination in wanting to achieve his goal of becoming the next Hokage gives me extra motivation for making my dreams turn into reality.

Naruto used to be my favorite character based on his ninja way and his determination to never give up. People always look down on him as the worst future generation shinobi, and considered him a monster inside him.

You could definitely feel the sympathy toward Naruto character especially wanted to bring sasuke back to the village at the end of part 1.

You could always feel sorry for him, because he lost many close friends precious to him and especially in the Pain arc what makes him the best development characters by far.

Now regrettably, Naruto acting all cocky and upbeats with many Tnj and powerups by tossing Obito which ruined his characterization.

Not say that Naruto characters is bad. But pretty much he resolved since the end of Pain arc, everyone praised him too much than what he derserved, and always get his ass handed to him. Naruto fodderize everyone else and now this drags on too long to the point where Naruto characters is gotten Soo Stale!!

He's a fun character, and I prefer characters that are generally a little goofy.
