To all of the people that have been hounding about how Naruto is so very mainstream , well maybe you should remember the reason why it is in the first place?
The character is an underdog a true underdog with no chance at all in the beginning of the anime and we all know that. But the story is more about how each character has developed not only physically but emotionally and mentally as well. Sure Naruto has its cliches, but guess what? So does so many other animes out there. Its okay if it has some cliches, cause the plot and character development and excellent , but to say that Naruto is okay or just good really doesn't say much if you have been watching it for as many years as I have. The fillers are ridiculous, yes we all know and it pisses so many of us off, but the completely discredit the work and thought that was put into each character (except TenTen, Shino and Iruka) is dissapointing. If I could give Naruto an 8.7 I would cause I know thats a fair score.
