... Finally completing the anime after 5 years of completing the manga, it was a great experience. Even though the filler ending was plain and disappointing, and the last fights, especially Naruto vs Sasuke wasn't that good of a battle compared to the Naruto battles and some battles in Naruto Shippuden.
Overall though, the story is amazing with the whole twist of Zetsu being the mastermind of the fourth great ninja war to bring back Kaguya the original who brought chakra to earth, by manipulating generations and Madara to help him unintentionally, and even turn the Itachi in the wrong direction all for his plan.
I'd have to start watching Boruto but I wish the anime showed Naruto and Hinata years later with their children as Hokage like the last chapter of the manga.
Although if they show that in the first chapter of Boruto, I guess it doesn't matter.
The romance was interesting in the beginning but Kishimoto is a horrible creator of romance. Unfortunately he doesn't properly focus on the romance and build it properly. A lot of the couples are random, including how Naruto finally realized his feelings for Hinata. I hate the movie for that reason, or else he arguably would have never truly love her with how dense he is and how shy she was.
Amazing experience of action. One of the best. But the romance is really lacking. Even though some moments are cute. The comedy was decent at time. Some filler episodes were horrible.
The extra depth of story and action filler was really good though for the most part if I remember right.
A brief history...
I've been watching the Naruto series since childhood, all the way back in the early 2000s... This is the one anime that has stuck with me for the majority of my life and it is for that very reason why I loved seeing the characters grow alongside myself...
I was one of many who kept up to date with the weekly episodes of Naruto Shippuden, though somewhere in 2017 during the Ashura/Indra fillers I put the show on hold and it's been like ever since. Time passed by and 2017 became 2024, 7 years later I fully intended to end the series once and for all, so It took my time to watch EVERYTHING from square one in the Original Naruto.
This marks the end of a long journey, an amazing adventure, my eyes teared up to finally be able to see both Naruto and Hitana married and to realize that I've FINALLY completed my childhood anime after such a long time. It has truly been a pleasure.
Thank you, Naruto
(Boruto does not exist, this is the true ending)
the only reason why people dislike Naruto and boruto is the amount of fillers in them, but I think it's a petty reason to hate on it, doesn't deserve less than a 5 star
Beautiful way to end the long-running series with a wedding to see how far we've come, have all the characters come together to celebrate the MC, and also show hints of the future for Boruto. Just a shame that with all that buildup we never see the actual wedding lmao

@Vysarine I gotta show you the rest of Boruto one day. Also The Last: Naruto the Movie which is canon of course.
This anime marked me and made me think differently in life. its ending was good but i expected it to end with naruto becoming hokage. i wish the series could have ended here and not extent with boruto, altough its really good like this too.
