Naruto Shippuden. I feel conflicted, I want to love Naruto but the amount of trash that I have to endure.. Is it worth it? I haven't really been to active in the anime community. Probably cause I don't enjoy that much anime anymore. I pick apart anime too much. I should just watch it for fun and not look deep into its construction... WRONG!
Story: 5
Generic shounen. I mean this started as ninja and ended with omnipotent super powers. I remember someone talking about how it used to be kunai's and shurikens being thrown but now its nuclear explosion level blasts everywhere. I remember when "ninja" was a term but this is not ninjas anymore this is some DBZ stuff. Another problem is the ending so "SPOLIERS" I guess...... Lets think about children how are they all the same age? Why are the combinations so random? I know Japan has some freaky sexual rituals but I mean how do explain this stuff ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
FILLERS OMG. I was able to endure the 5 episodes but those 5 episodes turned into 30. I dropped the anime at episode 375. Glad I did cause I hear they added a new filler arc right before the final battle lul.

It one of the biggest anime all around the world. It would be too much if it didn't have good visuals. Didn't give it a 10/10 cause that Pain vs. Naruto fight was a pain to see ha ha ha.....
Sound: 8
Naruto's voice kind of annoys me both in the dub and sub raspy voice. Sakura just annoys me but I attribute that more me no liking her in general.
Character: 2
Ok. So Naruto I boy who has attention problems. Yea Yea he lost his parents but he didn't really start caring until he actually "sees" them. Frankly, he put all that attention into ramen jokes.
Sasuke the emo crybaby. Let me make up an excuse to hate everything and then contradict myself and make myself look even more stupid.
Sakura oh boy. "I love the way you lie" - eminem and rihanna. Sums up Sakura's thoughts I think we all know how that music video ended with (The fire burned everything and everyone). So Sasuke ended up having a child with her after he tried killing her, leaving for 2 years, planning to kill and destroy everything and everyone she loved. Yea oh and after that he then leaves her to be a single mother. Good job kiddo. Oh did I mention she is also useless.
Overall: 6
While my review is only pointing out the flaws of this series I have to say I enjoyed my time with the Naruto series in general. Most of it is nostalgia cause Naruto was my gateway into more anime. Naruto is not a perfect anime. You can't give something a 10/10 if it has a flaw. Naruto has many flaws but it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. We have to remember to actually set aside the nostalgia. Look at Boruto.. doesn't feel just like a quick cash. In conclusion I liked Naruto but as time went on it didn't hold up.
Thanks for reading my review and have a Merry Christmas

P.S I don't proof read my reviews I find it cringey so a lot of grammer issues and spelling mitakes will be made. I do proof read my college essays though so don't judge me.
