"Naruto has to be the most over rated anime in existance. Every kid who has never seen anything else besides pokemon and dragon ball Z all give it rave reveiws, but all the experienced anime watchers know better."
I am definitely an experienced anime watcher and i personally don't see why every one gives it horrible ratings. I mean sure its not the best series in the world, but for god sakes, its far from deserving a one.
Unless you take into account the "fillers" as a part of the rating. If you look at the over all story and progression from episodes 1-134, one of the strong points to naruto is the characterization, every character seems to develop some sort of bond with each other. Relationships and character interactions are constantly challenged in the show. There is a whole emotional level to the anime that i thoroughly enjoyed as well. The action never really seems dull and the whole "ninja" aspect of the show is unique and interesting. I guess some people don't like the excessive talking and explaining, but i personally find it interesting my self how they explain in great detail how ninja techniques are used and what not, rather then just throwing action at you with out an explanation.
What i don't like is shippoden, that series is kind of ending up like dbz, the whole "ninja" aspect of the show has kind of deteriorated from the story. It is more bout super powers vs super powers now then actually strategic ninja missions like the first series had.
Anyway, i am not much of a shonen junkie. Of the few that i have seen, One piece is probably my most favorite for sure. You can read bout my review on my page if you feel like it. Everything that bleach and naruto lacks, OP just does it marvously. But i think the rated from the fanbase for naruto is just a disgrace. I mean for god sakes this show is not so horrible that it deserves scores of below 5. Some people even rate it 1 just cause they love to flame and thats unfair.
It's strange when you look at it as being a long time fan, ive seen the fanbase change drastically. 5 years ago, naruto was like the most popular anime on the site and even MAL had straight 10's, if you go way way back to the first reviews published. You will see the difference in ratings. Suddenly people have just created such a horrible rating for this show that new comers won't even take the chance to actually watch it now. But think bout it. If most of these people hate it so much like they do, why in the sam hell did they watch 220 episodes then?" Ask your self that question.
