It's not the fact alone that it is successful.

It's that they don't like it, and it is successful. Therefore the people who don't like it get their panties in a wad, and are more vocal about their hate, because they can't grasp the concept that people have different tastes than their own.

I think a lot of people hate on it because Naruto fans think it's the best anime/manga out there.

Because nothing is easier to prove your "superiority" than to point out the flaws in a popular work.

Condescension is the chief weapon, condescension and saying "this piece that no one knows is really a timeless work of art" route. Those are the chief weapons"

Condescension, Esotericism, and "But it is no Cowboy Beebop".... Our three, three chief weapons are Condescension, Esotericism, and Beebop and our ruthless devotion to the pope.

Among our many weapons are Condescension, Esotericism, and "But it is no Cowboy Beebop", and other things!

People don't hate on the anime itself, they hate on the Narutards, and the stupidity of the fan base. I've been watching Naruto my whole life, and I can't even stand those guys, they think Naruto is the holy grail of anime, which it isn't.

It's ok to like the anime, I myself enjoy it immensely, but don't be a douche about it.
The forums are dark, and full of ego.

I don't understand why there's a topic like this a day. On a slow day.

I honestly don't believe anyone is so thick they can't come up with the same answers posted over and over in these threads.

It's not even attention whoring. It's self-validation whoring.

Kinda tired of this mentality that you could only ever dislike a popular anime BECAUSE it's popular.

The fact that the main three characters rank among the most hated characters in anime says it all.

i don't hate naruto. i love it! that said, do i think its the best anime on the earth ever and ever? of course not.

i don't think the vast majority hate on it b/c its successful, they hate on it cuz its pretty damn stupid sometimes ^^

as for the fan base, i have no idea. this is my first board in like 6 years so i haven't really been exposed to it.

The its number of haters is proportional to its number of fans. Considering popular is this show is, it's normal there is going to be a lot of haters.

"Why do people hate on Naruto because the anime is so successful?"
You're answering your own question...
There are always people who dislike something and if it's popular, there will be even more people who do. Expressing your dislike for a pretty much unknown series is pointless, anyway.

Well people do hate things simply because those things are popular/mainstream or do you really want to argue that no one does that?

There are also people that hate some of the fans but those people are not the ones covered by this topic.

You are assuming that people hate Naruto because the anime is successful.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

If you mean me, I a said "people hate things that are popular" and so long as Naruto TV is a thing what I said remains true.

And please understand that "people" doesn't mean "everybody". Having to add the word "some" as a qualifier before people would be redundant in this context.

People hate it because it's popular? I hate it because it's crap. I thought everyone was in the same boat as me. Go to Japan and you'll find that the otaku fandom is dominated by shows like Madoka Magica, K-On and Evangelion while One Piece hits big with the non otaku crowd. The highest grossing Naruto film still didn't make nearly as much as the K-On Movie. Naruto is just another kids show over there. The concept of the big 3 doesn't exist either since One Piece is the only popular one of the three.

Compared to the shows I mentioned? No. It's moderately successful but not wildly popular. Most of the otaku don't watch Naruto and most of the non otaku would much prefer One Piece.

Loaded question. They don't. They hate on Naruto cause it sucks, it has the worst fillers from any anime, and it took Naruto 200+ episodes to get useful.

1-Because the "Naruto Hate Mania" fashion.
2-Because some Piecetards who hate everything from shounen jump bar One Piece.
3-Because some people who just don't like Naruto.
4-Because if you hate Naruto, you look more "critic" and more "intelligent" for some people.

I think have more reasons, but I listed the most commons.

I've seen a few reasons from the anime community;
• It 'copies' off Dragon Ball.
• It's Shonen Jump
• It's mainstream and from what I see, they hate all mainstream anime.
• Fanbase
• 'Otaku' making it look like Naruto is too mainstream to be anime.
