For the art, this DESERVES a 3. Why on earth would anyone let this mediocre studio get the anime adapation of such a masterpiece? come on, I did laugh at the art on most chapters but that shouldn't be the point.. compared to the manga and from a real fan who has followed naruto for 10 years literally the art makes you wanna cry. I personally can't stand bad art animes but I did stand naruto's only because of its overall masterpiece storyline (that's a good point somehow I guess)
Sound is amazing, it has the best sountrack in matter of openings and endings to me at least, I do love them all and they all make me feel really emotional, the ost is also nice, it gets you into the ninja atmposphere, it's really accurate.
Naruto has one of the most wonderful characters ever made. Its length also gives space for these characters to be amazingly good developed, in my opinion naruto's characters are the best part from the whole anime adaptation/manga. Chapters dedicated to them actually make you understand even the bad ones and you may be able to love most of them, with all their individual storylines which are outstanding. Best character development out of all anime industry in my opinion.
It has an awful end which I'm not gonna spoil and that's the only reason I give it an overall 8 instead of a 10 (even when considering art and filler episodes I should probably be harsher) just because its good stuff is just too good. 100% recommend watching, just skip filler episodes and don't expect a thing out of the art.
