its the worst anime/manga ever, extremely overrated, with an overly cliche plot filled with uninteresting characters and a lot of filler content (even worse than DBZ) and a very bad art style for an anime.

why is this still so extremely popular? I remember naruto was raging even in 2006, now in 2012, to see it so strong (and still with no ending...) is actually very...peculiar.

lol no. DBZ had much better fights with way less fillup. and the plot from DBZ was actually good, naruto has a very simplistic and cliche plot.

yea i was jk :P never even watched naruto. my noob roommate tried to get me to watch it on netflix in japanese with subtitles. there were huge frogs and naruto was multiplying himself and there was something about a new technique he was trying to accomplish. it was nothing like dbz.

for like 3 seconds. but the only thing that made naruto worth while was the akatsuki arc and that fell down fast cause they all just died one after another

but no dbs is just screaming and we see maybe a 3 minute fight? i dont think anything can be worse then dbz

I guess it is just one of those things you love or hate. I personally skip all the fillers and jump straight into the main story because it is something to watch. I wont say that it is the worst anime out there but it surly does help pass the time.

I'm just yanking your chain. I acknowledge that there are better animes out there, but Dragonball Z holds a special place in my heart because it was the central aspect of my childhood. What I love about it are its unique illustration style, its unique mythology (Oozaru, Super Saiyan, Eternal Dragons, Fusion, etc), and its hard-hiting action.

Someone hasn't read or watched Fairy Tail, Bleach or Shaman King. Though in recent years Naruto has been pretty darn horrible with the Zombie war.

Worst anime ever already makes it hard to take you seriously. It may not be the best, although it has its moments, but it certainly isn't the worst.Cliche plot? Well, maybe in some areas, but the whole Sasuke/Itachi/Madara thing was rather new to me. I mean, damn. To be honest, I prefer all the side characters more than Naruto himself, although he is getting better. Still, I much prefer to see the side characters go at it. Shikamaru, Neji, Lee, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and so on. Good stuff. Naruto gets too much screen time. They each have their unique motivations which I quite enjoy. Art style? Again, nonsense. When big fights are on, the animation is smooth as ever and me watching it in 720p on my 27 inch screen am thoroughly impressed. Sasuke/Itachi, Jiraiya/Pain, Kakashi/Shikamaru/Hidan/Kakuzu, and so on. Great fights. I actually skipped back just to watch certain parts again. Smooth like butter.

Lee should have beaten Gaara way back then. So much potential for a kid that can't mold chakra. Truly great. He's like Naruto, but doesn't have a nine tailed demon inside him lending him chakra all the time.

So flipping true. I stopped watching Naruto and Bleach for a loooooonnnnng time to the point where friends I introduced the anime to years later caught up and surpassed me. Reason I stopped watching Naruto is because they dedicated a double episode to them at a bath house or whatever. Double episodes used to mean something in Naruto. I now follow an arc guide allowing me to skip all the fillers. Bleach, on the other hand, I stopped watching because after Ichigo beat Grimmjaw, they inserted a filler which took them all out of Hueco Mundo...I mean, wut? Will get back into Bleach after catching up with Naruto and Crunchyroll will hopefully have One Piece in the mean time then as well. Letting that build up too.

There is one anime Naruto was inspired by but is unfortunately nowhere near as popular whilst undoubtedly being completely and utterly superior. I am speaking, of course, of Hunter x Hunter.

I haven't watched Yu Yu Hakusho but have heard and read about it. The reason I am shocked is that they are by the same guy. Why?

Naruto is one of the most popular anime today.

Bleach is another one of the most popular anime today.

Naruto heavily borrows from Hunter x Hunter with the latter being considered superior by those who have seen it but being nowhere near as popular.

Bleach heavily borrows from Yu Yu Hakusho with the latter being considered superior by those who have seen it but being nowhere near as popular.

Hunter x Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho are by the same guy.

How must that mangaka feel? :|

Not good. He was sick a while ago so he had to take a break.
