Orihime is a remotely better character than Sakura. But God, she's more annoying. She says Kurosaki-kun more than Sakura thinks of Sasuke at nights.

You bash a character that could have been op yet the manga writer did not go down that road orihimes abilities are quite deadly if the manga writer went down that road but he chose no to

Also bashing her for healing grimmjows arm yes because you would clearly if said f you guys and accept death or a beat down or aizen mind faking you

As for her looks yea she is hot but I find

Yuroichi soi fon neliel haribel more attractive

At the end of the day Orihime Is Hinata of Bleach not Sakura. Anyway both characters are in different verse and their purpose in the story is different too. Though I agree Sakura is not written that bad. Female characters in shonnen are to be right there to add some colour but they are not allowed to overshadow the male leads. That clashes with the idea of Shonnen. So yes Sakura was doomed the moment she was added in the team. She was only going to get some high moments in an arc but not the whole arcs. On top of it she was paired with Sasuke- who is NOT the lead despite many fans believing it.

You can expect a little more from females in Seinnen but not in Shonnen. Some maybe better written than Sakura but they are still rarely put in the scene of direct action.

That still doesn't justify every female being a fangirl of some boy.

No, it's not just you . Bleach, despite how simple it's plot is comparatively, is better in that regard to Naruto.
All these are subjective opinions aren't they? Each of the big three had a different theme. Sometimes it's just what you are looking for. For example I prefer a story over endless adventure tales. So despite OP providing more in terms of raw "entertainment" than Naruto, OP doesn't click to me the same way as Naruto. It doesn't make OP bad than it. It just doesn't engage me the same way. For some others who were already into OP the case would be reverse since they are already too deep in one manga they never get in to another in the same way. I caught up with three OP chapters two days ago - in like half a minute. In comparison Naruto is more dense despite having less panels in terms of story. So if you rush through in it you miss a part of story. In OP you would may miss a detail because the panels themselves are very crowded but so far I didn't miss anything which affects understanding of the plot of characters even if I have to go back and recheck a few things at times. :shurg:

Still better than being an outright Harem mangas and naked fan service. Forget Shonnen I have seen enough cling-worthy shojos which are supposed to be directed at females that make me drop them altogether.

Sakura is an improvement over too many. Otherwise you a twilight style Midnight secretory and what not.

i kind of agree. I still tolerate Lucy from Fairy Tail and Rukia from Bleach more than Sakura.

Yes, they are. And yeah, I suppose what were looking for does play a role in how we view the series, but I think most people will collectively agree that Naruto had some really bad story elements and development. It's good for a casual read, but if one were to get down to the details, it's really a fail series in terms of writing. Well, it's just how I see it, anyways.

Depends on which Sakura you're talking about. If you're talking about Sakura Matou, then she's far greater than any female in Nardo.

and wow, this place is dead.

Most people is subjective as well. How many people even bother to think over it and then actually post something about it?
Any story can be better and yeah Naruto is not that exceptional work. But a lot of criticism is really silly. People either chose to ignore the limitations of writing in this media or they ignore the length and serialization. I pick only the genuine criticism and ignore the bandwagoners and haters.

Any weekly serialization which has over 200 chapters in it has it's own problems. No exceptions so far that I know of. Many start showing up before they reach the 200 mark even. Naruto was more popular and hate more haters as well. It got more online viewership than many and thus more noise from fans as well as rival fanbases. Then those who started reading it late and missed the finer details a lot. Later part because I have seen some very silly complaints by those who simply missed earlier manga pannels.

No, it's not just you . Bleach, despite how simple it's plot is comparatively, is better in that regard to Naruto.
I didn't get it- You are telling us Bleach is better and then you are saying you didn't know about Orihime being similar as Hinata?
