| Naruto is a great anime but nowhere close to being a masterpiece imo. There are shonen anime that are better in all aspects it tries to be good at. Nonetheless, I can't deny that I considered it the epitome of fiction when I first watched it(it was my first anime btw). |

The animation really shows the intensity of their conflict Anyone who thinks this episode has bad animation has absolutely zero grasp on what animation even means. |

| It's definitely iconic for a good reason, and I enjoyed it a lot myself (maybe the nostalgia tho), but I wouldn't go as far as to call it a masterpiece. I find Shippuuden to be a lot better. |

Jellybeanx said: i see that you rated shippuden higher than part 1 so you think shippuden is better?Naruto is definitely not a masterpiece, however, it is a classic show. It introduced a lot of people to anime. It features a lot of excellent components such as great characters, great battle scenes, plot twists, amazing music, and so on. It is an enjoyable experience and it has had a significant influence on modern shounen anime. Overall, I believe that most kids in this community do not respect popular classic series such as Naruto, Dragon Ball, and others. I suppose they wouldn't get it. Obviously, when it comes to shows that are over 20 years old, it is difficult for the younger generation to properly appreciate them. |

| Nah. Shippuden for me (untill Pain arc) was better than part 1, most people like it only because of nostalgia and in some cases like in my country there wasn't any other shounen on tv so you had no choice than watching Naruto and for me none part of Naruto was a masterpiece it ain't close for it. Naruto Shippuden till pain arc was better, Naruto s1 is below that, War arc is the worst part from 2 seasons and about Boruto I ain't even mentioning. |
| it was enjoyable but I don't think it's masterpiece |
 |
| No. I still regret watching all 220 episodes of Naruto |

petran79 said: Nope. Ninku is. Naruto staff worked there prior to Naruto and Naruto mangaka mentions the manga too I think there is a reason why no one talks about Ninku anymore. It wasn't very good. |

| I mean its not but it is a part of many people's childhoods and is still a great story all around minus the fillers. |
| Yes, and i'm tired of pretending it's not. |
 |
| Yes, Masashi Kishimoto created a masterpiece. |

MizunoWaveRider said: Oh poor soul, how little you actually understood the show is very sadIt's just a battle shounen about a dumb kid trying to get into politics not because he has any interest in politics or ideas of how to make the world a better place, but because he's a little narcissist who wants people to notice him. Naruto kinda exemplifies the whole problem with modern politicians. At least Goku wanted to become the strongest because he loves fighting, not because he wanted attention. The show also keeps pretending that Naruto is some sort of underdog even though it's always his priviledged hack superpowers that win him every battle. If you ignore that though, it's a fun show with cool fights and tense moments, but nothing more. |
|
| Out of personal enjoyment I gave Naruto part 1 a 9 and Shipuuden a 10 even though I know it's not a "perfect" show |

It wasn't very good. it also matters that no one even bothered to fansub the entire series till much later (bd rip is finally available) and manga is still not completely scanlated But does that really matter? even at the time, we had shaman king, YGO, HxH, one piece, JJBA, busou renkin ect. I just don't think Ninku was very good imo |

| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| I dunno about a "masterpiece", it's a pretty good show though. I think it's got decent world building and a decent story. The fights are good and more tactical. It's better then the generic dbz ripoff where they with huge energy blasts it became later. |

| No, Naruto is not a masterpiece and will never be. Why? Because Boruto is the real masterpiece, end of story. |
 |
| No, it has over 70 filler episodes in a row, that right there cancels out any chance of it being a masterpiece. The main part of the story also suffers from pace issues because of its obsession with flashbacks. The best fight in the series, Lee vs Gaara was weakened by these flashbacks. I don't have a problem with flashbacks being there, I am actually a fan of them, they just shouldn't be so long to the point where it disrupts the flow of the story. |
| No i don't think it's a masterpiece to me but I still had a lot of fun with og naruto |
EndlessMaria said: Anyone who thinks this episode has bad animation has absolutely zero grasp on what animation even means. Yep. I feel like it's a case where people are confusing art style with animation. The animation is fine, the art style used is subjective. I personally don't like that style of animation, but some people did. |
-Hermit- said: I'm not confusing anything. I legitimately think it dosen't look good. Its fluid sure, but it feels out of place. I don't mind whenever *Naruto* starts going towards a more experimental superflat art style, but here it looks like it turned into slapstick. The animation used conventions that Western audiences would associate with Warner Bros. cartoons for what was meant to be a serious sequence lolEndlessMaria said: Anyone who thinks this episode has bad animation has absolutely zero grasp on what animation even means.

MizunoWaveRider said: Naruto is and always was about the cycle of hatred and conflict, and learning to understand one another. Every villain in Naruto has a direct hypocrisy that Naruto is able to point out to them. Naruto is about the resolve of conflict, look at every villain Naruto had faced and you will see this, it is and never was about Naruto being an underdog, this is a small subplot that was used with Rock Lee mostly and the Neji arc, but the Neji arc was also more so about Naruto pointing out Nejis hypocrisy that he believed in fate, but yet tried to change his own subconsciously.SageModeTice said: What do you think it is about, as a Naruto fan?Not really, that's the interesting part, Naruto is fairly easy to understand if you actually try to. |

Neji didn't change his ways because Naruto convinced him of his hypocrisy, he just beat the shit out of him using his fox powers and the reason that convinced Neji is because the series pretended Naruto was an underdog before. But Neji was ultimately right, it all came down to fate in the end. The cycle of hatred theme was more related to Sasuke's character arc. Naruto's personal journey was about becoming hokage and the issue there is that he has no ideas in regards to politics. The reason he ultimately becomes hokage is not because of his ideas of how a society should be led, but because of his powerlevel. So, the cycle of hatred is a main theme, I'm not denying that that, it's just not what I was talking about. I was saying that Naruto is not fit to be a leader and the only reason he became one is because he's the best at beating up people due to his birth privileges. |

| Compared to whole series, early arc is better. It's not just some super power ninja spamming nukes to each other |
 |
| I wouldn't say it's the worst series I've seen. But it doesn't do anything any different from other shounen action long-runners of its ilk, and I'd find it passable at best. The series peaks at Sasuke Retrieval arc and quality is otherwise all over the place with the various filler arcs afterward. |
| Aside from pacing and fillers first part was good Naruto went downhill in post pain arcs. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Yes, it is a masterpiece, not in raw quality, but in raw entertainment and long-lasting emotional impact. I can't think of another anime I've enjoyed more, it can only be rivaled by DBZ. |
| kid naruto was just mid like HxH , Shippuden was decent tho. |
 "No one can rewrite the stars How can you say you'll be mine? Everything keeps us apart And I'm not the one you were meant to find It's not up to you you It's not up to me When everyone tells us what we can be How can we rewrite the stars?" |
| Masterpiece? Not sure. Iconic for sure |
| It has some very iconic moments but the actual masterpiece is Shippuden |
