I was just remembering that even though I was left disappointed with the ending of this series, Naruto will always be one of my favourite animes that invoked amazing feelings.



I honestly think that Naruto was a 9/10 or 10/10 all the way till the Five Kage Summit and then it declined.

The true peak of this series was the sequence of arcs that included:
-Jiraiya infiltrating the Rain Village
-Sasuke vs Itachi
-Jiraiya vs Pain/ Jiraiya's death
-Naruto's training

and then to cap it all of: Pain's invasion of the Leaf village

Jiraiya was my favourite character from the show and his death was perfectly animated:


Man, those were the best times to be a Naruto fan and I was glued to the show like never before. I really miss those days and sometimes, it makes me want to rewatch the series again(just won't watch the war though :p)


What point of the story was the peak to you?

Everything was fine until Itachi pulled a megazord out of his ass.

Yeah the War Arc never felt like a war tbh. Kishimoto needs to learn how to kill of characters.

This Manga used to be dark before it became about power rangers with chakra.

More like a Zombie Apocalypse arc. XD

I enjoyed about everything equally tbh except for the taka arc.
Suigetsu made me cringe so much

I'd have to agree there. it really did take a decline after that now that I sit back and think about it. the only good parts past the invasion arc in my opinion is sasuke vs 5 kages, the tailed beast battle. sasuke and naruto vs obito and gai vs madara. and I'll add naruto vs sasuke just because I have a bunch that this will be the best animated fight in the entire series. I'm sure kishi will add more to the fight.

I agree, I can say without a doubt 1st part Naruto had me absorbed more than Shippuden.

The first 5 pages of the series, after that I ****ing hated it and yet I kept reading like an idiot. **** this series man. Jump on that Prince of Tennis hype train, better than this garbage.

The series never peaked. It was great at different times for different reasons; some people just keep with the evolution of the storyline and threw their toys out of their pram, and started to spout nonsense.

The show quickly got worse after Pain was defeated; Part 1 was probably the peak though.

Its not very wise to take an advise from an idiot.
