Eh, not my cup o tea, I prefer Shoujo, Shounen is good and all, but not enough love story for me, and never enough comedy. So I usually stick with Shoujo.
Fascinating. *writes it down in little book*
Anyway, I have no problem with Naruto. The manga is decent, but not really my style, the anime is also okay, when it doesn't come down to fillers (that kill most shows anyway) and dubbing. Also one of the few manga in this country, so it is overly popular, and this makes the publishers choose stuff that relates/is written to preteens and young teens, instead of getting some proper manga. I guess they thing they failed after Hellsing (not that popular here) and stuff...
Naruto is just dumb. I just don't see how a guy with an orange jumpsuit and yellow frizzy hair is so cool. The other characters are laughable as well, but it's not that its funny, it's just kind of silly. It's like power rangers but anime style.
Naruto is a stupid shit show. It consists of a blond haired ninja(one who is foolishly proud to admit it, even though ninjas are supposed to be similar to the Assassins in Assassins Creed, to be a blade in the crowd) who doesn't even want to kill people. The only time he does is when that demon thing takes over. What's worse, this boy seeks to be the best ninja in his village. My personal dream episode of the show would be Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden popping into Naruto's village and shows them how ninjas really kill. He would so totally own all those losers, especially that retard Naruto.
Morbito is pretty good (relatively new anime shown on Adult Swim). It is based off their original novel, as in a book, and the art is hand-drawn, instead of computer animated. After seeing the anime, I read the english-translated version of the book and so far, it is pretty dang good. So for that, I say that Morbito's scripting is great.
Naruto? It's for kids. Story's horrible, and the only reason why it's staying alive is because of the viewers that are a bunch of fanboys/girls.
Something to add : Hate threads aren't tolerated around here, because it's bashing a popular series, like it or not, and those who do like the series would be and ARE offended by this thread. So just a warning, it's under pressure to be locked if this continues to be a problem.
Thats is a pretty cool show, nice animation and such and yeah the story is fairly unique (as fas as I know) and the main character isn't some over powered energy ball throwing hero.
I just love how stealthy and unassuming the main characters outfit is. His srategy of screaming out everything also really makes him blend in a crowd. He's possibly the most silent and camoflagued ninja ever.
