Naruto: Shippuuden

It has been two and a half years since Naruto Uzumaki left Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village, for intense training following events which fueled his desire to be stronger. Now Akatsuki, the mysterious organization of elite rogue ninja, is closing in on their grand plan which may threaten the safety of the entire shinobi world.

Although Naruto is older and sinister events loom on the horizon, he has changed little in personality—still rambunctious and childish—though he is now far more confident and possesses an even greater determination to protect his friends and home. Come whatever may, Naruto will carry on with the fight for what is important to him, even at the expense of his own body, in the continuation of the saga about the boy who wishes to become Hokage.

Ah, the good ol' Naruto review. Let's break it down, shall we?

Story: 10/10
Honestly, maybe it's just the nostalgia talking, but I can't help but love the story of Naruto. It's got everything - action, friendship, redemption, you name it. A solid 10 in my book.

Characters: 9/10
I'd give it a perfect score if the female characters were actually useful. Come on, Kishimoto, give Sakura some love too! She don't have to be that useless.

Music: 10/10
I can't get enough of the OST, openings, and endings. They just hit different, you know? A solid 10 for keeping me jamming along.Blue Bird, Silhouette and many other beautiful openings
...
Enjoyment: 10/10
Duh, of course, it's a 10. I mean, who doesn't love a good ninja adventure filled with epic battles and heartfelt moments? Sign me up for that any day.
I could watch it again and again.

Overall: 10/10
With all that being said, Naruto gets a perfect score from me. It's a classic for a reason, folks. Believe it!

Mixed Feelings

This show has way too many badly written retcons and nonsense trash filler to justify giving this show a higher rating. If you want to watch good shounen anime without those problems watch Hunter x Hunter or Dragon Ball since a lot good things about this show just copies those two shows. don't get me wrong This show also had its good moments for example any time Kakashi, Madara, Itatchi and Ochiumaru are around.
what ruined this show the most is how annoying Naruto and Sakura were and especially their dumb obsession with Sasuke. The most unrealistic part is the end were Sasuke was let ... out of prison despite being a world terrorist. Overall this show is just mostly a DBZ wannabe and you should just watch that instead. unless you want a DBZ ripoff this is the show for you.

I downloaded a special version of this anime that had the filler cut out and even that was still filled with flashbacks. Why? Because every other scene relies on it. Some of the scenes would not have made sense without the flashback. That said, I skipped most of them anyway. Honestly, the pacing can be so slow that I just completely lose interest and find myself not paying attention.

I'll just sum up my feelings here:

- The soundtracks are really good, especially some of the villains like Nagato and Madara.
- Animations are typically lackluster and dull
- There's little to no real character development
- A lot of ... characters are very forced and just cringe

I have to rant about two characters that I really disliked: Sakura and Shikamaru.

Sakura is a one dimensional character who's only reason for existing is her insane, unjustified love for Sasuke. She's actually crazy in that regard. Sasuke couldn't care less for her and yet she doesn't take no for an answer. Also, she's mostly useless. Sure, at the end she gets some offensive 'power' but literally doesn't use it except for one time. But for the most part, she's unnecessary. The entire show could have gone on without her and it would have been the same, nay, better.

Shikamaru is literally one of the dumbest, weakest, and most plot-armored character in the show. I don't know what the author's obsession with him is but he's really cringe. He's given way too much attention. For one thing, he's supposed to be one of the smartest characters, coming up with "brilliant" strategies and yet his strategies are always simple. Not to mention it takes him a long time to even come up with them in the first place. Even Naruto has better strategies. There's one scene where he and his master are battling a villain, and the villain takes his time to draw a circle on the ground afterwhich he gains a power. Anyone with half a brain can see the circle is giving him his power and yet Shikamaru had to think about it before reaching that conclusion.

Another thing I hate about Shikamaru is that he's so arrogant. He self-appointed himself as Naruto's strategist, just lol.

Sasuke also becomes a really cringy character in the second half of the anime. His story was interesting prior to the reveal.

The story in general was good until the Pain Arc ended then it went downhill quickly.

Also, good god are there so many forced emotional scenes. Putting on sad music and having flashback after flashback isn't going to make anyone with half a brain get emotional, it's just dumb.

Moreover, the dialog is predictable and the justifications of most the character's actions is downright stupid. I hate the whole "friends" justification. That's Naruto's entire reasoning behind everything he does. "I won't let my friends die", "I'm going to save my friends". Just stop with this dumb friend thing, every other anime has stupid trope and I absolutely hate it.

Lastly, in every fight, Naruto's main strategy is: Shadow Clone Jutsu. This is literally the only thing he can do, aside from his beast power and that move he learned from his master. He can also use a summon jutsu but I think he only used it twice in the entire run of the anime and the first time being him learning it.
