Why does everyone on here seem to hate Naruto?

I'm not a hater of any anime but i'm not a great Naruto fan too so Ill put it like this: No Naruto isn't a bad anime/manga but its far from being "the best there ever was". I used to like Naruto really much but thats because it had a great potential.
Just like me, many people really liked how the series started, it had a good background, good characters and everything was as much "ninja" as possible. The series was much more about the ninja wolrd than about the characters alone (evidenced by the chunin exams). But then the Part II came, and everything became about how Naruto and Sasuke are overpowered and no other character is important. There was only Naruto and Sasuke. Good characters like Rock Lee, Neji and even Kakashi were put aside. Sakura that should be one of the mains was left behind after the first arc. The initial teamwork was replaced with strong jutsu spam and Kyuubi chackra.
In my opinion the main protagonist is stupid. He was a vandal because nobody liked him, but he did nothing to change that except trying to get atention the wrong way. Nobody liked Killer B at the start but he never cared about that. He became respected throught hard work. Seens like Yugito (Nibi Jinchuriki) was respected as well.
The whole point of Naruto's life is to bring back an idiot that almost killed him twice. Even when he saw how low Sasuke went he kept calling him friend and saying he was going to bring him back against his will. Thats plain stupid in my opinion. If he really cared about Sasuke he would kill him without exitation as that would be the best for him. And the whole point of all of this? A promisse he made to Sakura years ago. Sai himself pointed to Sakura
My other point is: the show is no longer about friendship. What did he said to his "friends" against Kakusu? Outta my way I'll defeat him alone. Against Pain? I dont want you to help me. Against Sasuke? If somebody gonna kill Sasuke it must be me. In the war? I'll end this war myself. Where's the friendship in those fights? He refused his friends help. Even Itachi point this out.
But the worst thing in the series isnt even in the series itself. Just like many people pointed out, the main problem is how many (im not saying all of them) the fans overhype it so much (just like every other series has). All they do is say that the series are the best there ever was and ignore the bad points. They never look at the many errors in the series and acept happily everthing Kishimot writes no matter how nonsense it may be. As long as Naruto make any good move OP jutsu or say some cool words it's perfect. And what i think it's the worse, if we try to argue with them about it they just deny everything acuse us of haters. And i say this based in things i've seen in this and in other foruns.
And while yes, there's really much mainstream and troll hate, yes, there are some points in the series that some people think are unforgivable for such a popular series.

P.S.: I'm not english speaker so sorry for any gramar errors.

You told me to learn some english, so i had to admit that my english did suck. Your 4 isn't 4.
1. You can only read Arabic, this is 1/2.
2. You can only speak Hindhi, another 1/2.
3. Only speak basic Japanese, this aint even a 1/2. This is none.
4. Maldive language (a speaker and a reader). Ok, this is one.
1/2 + 1/2 + 0 + 1 = 2.

What about me.. Let's see.
1. Melayu language (a speaker and a reader).. 1
2. Japanese language (a speaker & a reader. I can read Kanji ;p).. 1

More importantly, you need to know the culture where a particular language is used before you can say you're fluent in that language. And that's how i count 1 point. ;p

Btw, you are probably the only who take this thread seriously. Not everyone is going to justify their hatred or waste their energy here. People need to hate and people need to love. And I'm going to hate because it's fun.

Naruto sucks.

Since I've got nothing better to do

..... I'm still bored.

I was bored, you seemed like the perfect toy, but you were broken so I couldn't play with you much. I really am disappointed in the lack of capabilities in trolls as of late. Where is Not_Biased when you need him?

Your mistake was trying to troll someone that called Kurama, the "seven-tails." LOL

Well some of you dudes recommended me to give Naruto a second chance from my dropped list again. Well i thought you guys would like to hear a little report. First of all i picked it up from episode 10 again. And to be honest all the way until episode 16 or so ( the ep where Naruto does that fox like thingy) i really thought about dropping it. I did not like the fight with the mirrors so much either. But after that things started getting good all of a sudden. I thought the last 3 episodes of this arc where very good. Also used to think that Naruto was childish but with all the blood and even It is not in the slightest. Also the soundtrack really helps you feeling the drama moments. I was wondering if shit stays like this?

Edit: finding my self in the new arc. It became quite boring again.

The chuunin exam arc? That's a really good one but the first couple of eps are boring.

ntHai said:
Honestly I think the story has made a better turn in the last year and is becoming better and better with every chapter. I wouldn't say it's perfect but if you compare it to other shounens like Bleach or One Piece then Naruto has a pretty decent spot among them.

johnyjohny said:
But i was wondering if there are more arcs cumming up which are better than the ones that i already watched. Please tell and don't try to spoil me please. If it is more of the same i think it is smarter to not watch all the arcs in one go.

johnyjohny said:
You guy's recommended me Naruto a wile ago and i finished it now. I have to say it was not halve as bad as i thought it was. It had his very ups, but sadly also some disappointing moments. Now I'm in Naruto shippuden ad ep 47 and i don't get why this is higher rated than Naruto. I think it is slightly worse in fact for what i have seen. I still plan to finish this anime tho. But i was wondering if there are more arcs cumming up which are better than the ones that i already watched. Please tell and don't try to spoil me please. If it is more of the same i think it is smarter to not watch all the arcs in one go.

johnyjohny said:
OK thanks for your help last time dudes. I'm watching that arc after the Pain arc. And i have to say this is a really disappointing downfall. Guess they don't quite know what they doing anymore. Yet the last 4 arcs where really great. How could they let this happen? Anyway i wanted to know if there are better arcs cumming soon after episode 222 (last ep of the current arc (the shitty one)) . Other wise i think I'm holding this on-hold for a wile. And watch something else first. I really hate to watch 75 of crappy episodes in a row. I still plan to watch this further though even if it is a pain. Can't leave with a unfinished story.

Because we have idiotic weebs critiquing a shonen manga with expectations of plot complexity; they compare Fairy Tail to 20th Century Boys, while exalting every minor plot twist in Mirrai Nikki. (And then there's the K-On! fans)

Naruto doesn't really dwell in psychological degradation--a theme a lot of people really like and praise as "complex". Instead it deals with stuff like destiny, insecurity, inferiority, which are issues most people will eventually have to contend with later in life. This is why I regard Naruto--before the Akatsuki arc--as one of the best mangas I've ever read.

It helps that Naruto Uzumaki himself is an incredibly inspiring/charismatic character. (And with great foil characters like Rock Lee and Neji, Naruto is the only Mary Sue character I will ever like)

Also because it's a bad show of course.

Reasons why I hate Naruto and I'll explain it as well...the fanbase for one.

Another thing, the cliche of the story and characters let's not mention how predictable it is during most of the fights and how Kisshimoto just falls for his fan base (obviously), then his attempts of giving life to the show by killing people off, when in my opinion probably just killed it more, killing off Negi and Jariya.....No.

The story just loses it's interest and becomes so boring, I just marked it as Completed, MAL needs to separate them, there should be Naruto and Naruto : ShitPudding (Shipudden) That's where I ended my interest and Naruto at, once Shipudden started.

Or people don't like long running battle shounen with cliche plot/characters.
