Story: let's get right to it, it's ninjas fighting with this idea of chakra protecting themselves from other nations and orochimaru. Honestly, story is a solid 8/10. There's nothing wrong with it, and it definitely follows the typical shounen type , except people actually die, which I loved. The arcs are long and interesting , captivating your attention with multiple fights. My only gripe would be that some fights can take 5+ episodes.. and they're not even the main character fights ( refer to 4 guards). Also wayyyyy too many flashbacks. Like too many. Get ready to use that +10 seconds button because you're going to need it.
With no spoilers, the story revolves around sasuke and naruto, and their love hate relationship with some sakura screaming in between with constant attacks coming from orochimaru. That's pretty much it.
Also as a side note.. I get the concept of chakra, but Its a bit silly how they can do anything with it, and turn into demons lmao.
Art: 6/10 ehh.. it's outdated, isn't the best.
Sound: oh boy.. 11/10. It's phenomenal. The orochimaru theme tune is superb, it sells chills down you. I genuinely think the sound Is what makes naruto so f******** good. The right notes are used at the right moments, the flute is so perfect for this Japanese medieval setting.
Character: 6/10 .. sakura.. enough said. She's useless throughout the entire show. I do admit however that the side characters 100% get some development, but it's more like... get stronger, nothing changes about them really, with perhaps the exception of shikamaru who was by far my favourite character alongside Lee.
The villains however, they're so full of detail and mystery. I especially enjoyed haku and zabuzas story, and how they linked up later to the kaguya clan. Also orochimaru is honestly, an amazing villain. He's up there with the likes of dio .
Enjoyment: if you skip the fillers, it's a solid 8/10 .
Pros:
Amazing fudgeing soundtrack
There's actually deaths in the shounen!
Orochimaru
Rock lee
Villains are super interesting
Naruto is pretty cool.
Cons:
Sakura
Too many flashbacks
Fillers.. lots of them..
It is a shounen.. but damn these guys can take a 2000stabs and be okay.
So yeah. Give it a watch!
