Because the openings are 1-2 mins.

This, they likely don't have enough budget to put A++ Animation and artwork. It's not a 12-26 episode series. :|

Dude, the anime is pretty much just like that intro...

Not really, slightly different art styles and animation are used. Watch the episodes under that opening theme.

OT: Animating openings and endings almost always happens first, then the episodes are animated (hence, why some scenes in the openings don't happen), it easier to animated a minute and a half segment that 20-30 consecutive 25 minute episodes. Practices like these are especially common in long running series such as One Piece, Fairy Tail, Bleach, and yes, Naruto.

Actually, the episodes are about 20 minutes long.

This series has gone over 550 episodes already. The longer it goes the smaller the budget becomes.

Well, I've been too busy to catch up on an episode of Shippuden, so I didn't know the exact length (I was basing it off episodes from other series)

They're all roughly the same length. There are 8 minutes of commercials in every 30 minute program, and the opening/ending are about a minute each.

I been recently re-watching Ghost in the Shell and Fate/Zero, both of which have episodes that are on average 25-26 minutes long (counting the openings and endings). Because I was unsure of how long the Naruto episodes were, I just made a wide margin of 20-30 minutes off the top of my head.

1. Only providing enough to be watchable and keep viewers watching.
2. Budget (bud I doubt it. It's Pierrot plus it's Naruto. There's more than enough money there.)
3. Pierrot sucks.

I never saw anyone complaining about Bleach and it's animation :|

Smaller, individual studios and teams work on certain episodes, not the studio in general. That's like blaming 20th century Fox for a bad movie.

Listen ya' little Itachiwad, it costs money, and it takes time, and it takes MAN POWER. People sit their asses there for days straight w/ a small team to anime several episodes, and sometimes when shit is about to hit the fan, they bring in key animators (pro directors and a bigger team) to help animate that smooth sakuga (smooth animation) in the anime.


"They only care of profit" my ass... its not all computer generated, ungrateful little... thing.

Miyazaki does all his animations hand drawn.

Your point is moot.

If the animators actually loved what they do, they'd put the care into making their animation the best it can be... It is all about profit, unfortunately

Budget and Profits. Not enough people watch the anime to warrant such quality for full episodes. Openings for most animes are usually of better animation, sometimes its just straight up CGI.

Sometimes I doubt that the anime even breaks even in profits at times.

Other than the big fights(ichigo vs big bad or current dragon) bleach animation was crap too. Pierrot does suck. Studio Mir, or ghibli, madhouse blow it out the water.
