Seriously dude? Seriously?!?! The anime has turn into some carebears bullshyt with EVERY1 wants peace in some fuked up ways example Kabuto, Pein and that Tobi freak who got the powers of 7 demons to FORCE peace on others!! That doesn't even make sense to use a demonic power to gain peace but to also force peace on others by creating an illusionary world for everyone and taking away their freedom. Kabuto's story was just AWFUL and his plot to make every1 fight DEAD PEOPLE (have many times have i seen this in the anime?!) turns out to be some family reunion shit. FAIL!!
Akatsuki died faster than a dude with a bullet lodge between his head. I mean Kakuzu who fopught the 1st hokage got fooled by clones. WOW. Even now Orichimaru isn't dead but remembers everything even though his mind is supposed to be eternally trapoed in a genjustu to be tormented. Kisame went out out like a bitch. Sasori was defeated so fuking easily by grandma chiyo and sakura and then got major trolled when he gave up just bcuz kankuro saw his art. Konan's death was just unnecessary, and oh my god Pein. I mean an entire village couldn't take on two peins yet Naruto killed one with a single punch. WOW U_U and you say that was the best part. Tsh.
The deaths weren't that dark--- when Kisame was being eaten, you didn't see his body parts all over the place, Pein got killed by a rasengan, danzo turned into the tree of life, you didn't get to see the pipe being shoved through Konan, etc. Only Asuma and Jariya's death i would say were the darkest.
What Kage history? you must be talking about Minato
Fights in Naruto pt1 are just as good (if not better) than those in Shippudden. And you say the war is good?!?!?! you must be new to anime my friend. Again go watch Hellsing Ultimate to see a real war
And by the way, who gives a fuk about sales? Sure One Piece and Naruto will be remembered. Why? Because they are shounen mangas/anime just like Fairy Tail and people eat that action shit up. So your last point was invalid like a fake ID
Who is talking about the anime? I'm talking about the manga. The anime of Naruto is a bit above average at best. The way the akatsuki died was OK but that was only for the ending. What way did you want them to die? Each member of akatsuki had EPIC fights before their death.
Sorry but I'm far from new to anime lol. I read/watch almost every popular shonen + seinen. I've already watch and have all the mangas of hellsing. What you want is pure mayhem and carnage which isn't going to happen in Naruto and most shonen mangas. Helsing is a seinen and Naruto a shonen, you can't compare them.
Also, I said the war is good (7/10) not fantastic. If u read it from the beginning till now, you'll see that it's not boring. Yes, Kishi should kill some char. and some fight could've been more intense and longer.
One more thing, if you really think that Bleach is better then Naruto, then this discussion is over because Bleach has been going down hill for a while in sales and ratings. Even on the WSJ (it's publisher), it's doing extremely bad in Japan and that's a fact.
I've seem worst mangas getting praised by the fans aka Bleach, Negima and Code Breakers. All of them have been going down hill except for Negima. It was great and then it ended. The ending of this manga was the worst BULLSHIT i've ever seen in my life and people still continue to like it. People can talk bad of Naruto all they want, it won't change anything. This manga will go down has one of the greatest(top 3 easily) shonen and one of the best manga overall (shonen, seinen etc). Some people's opinion won't change that and you know it. Let Kishi continue HIS STORY instead of wanting to change everything. Oh, by the way Shippuden>>>>Original Naruto.
