really touching

I remember when I was young and I would watch Naruto every Friday at 8:30. lolll XD
I personally think the anime is better (although there are so many damn fillers >.>) because the soundtracks are so amazing. The characters are so well developed and everyone has their own unique background story. The only thing htat pisses me off about this is that its neverending =.=
but other than that, great characters, great artwork, great fight scenes but it gets boring and i just wish that everyone would die already so it would end.

brainwashing? maybe it sounds overboard, but it strangely sounds down-to-earth enough for me. especially if it's someone who get this manga as his/her first time into manga world. It's just a common dragging shounen plot. the story has became uncontrollable and I think it's hard enough to just keep this series running.

At least I think it's better to have a plot that will makes you a little sad when it ends sooner than you expected than a seems everlasting plot.

An unbalanced manga that is still very solid

Naruto is a pretty solid manga heavily focused on it's shounen roots. By that, I mean that Naruto is basically a stereotypic shounen manga, it has the over-simplistic good-vs-bad guys. The series is still so much more than that.

The series follows Naruto on his life and times, and is a very lengthy story with exceptional art to boot. The character drawings are near perfect, but the backgrounds are often plain.

The plot is good, with plenty of surprises, but there are also some very big issues with the plot. In the first, young Naruto(Not Shippuden), he is immature and clumsy and loves Sakura but hates Sasuke. After a while, he starts liking Sasuke better and better and he is also being accepted more and more by his friends and the people of Konoha.

My complaints about the plot are still many, though. For starters, it seems that every challenge thrown in Naruto's way is deemed impossible, and he eventually overcomes it. Also, Sakura, one of the main characters of the series and Naruto's love interest, is just a boring damsel in distress, wishy-washy girl. yes, she is the exact stereotype of the Japanese RPG female. Pretty, wishy, dumb, and weak. Also, after Sasuke's departure, Naruto's mind becomes balckened with "Sasuke". Yes, almost all plot events in Shippuden have something to do with him. I also laugh at how some battles can last 10 chapters, with over 90% of the scenes filled with dialogue.

Still, even after it's faults, the manga thrives. The magic of it is seeing Naruto grow and become who he is. There's no question that the manga is reaching a climax, and I hope so much that the ending will be fit and will not be rushed like to Love Ru's.

Hmm...

I enjoy Naruto. A lot. However, it's just a generic shonen story, bound to be repeated in many other stories yet to come. I continue to read largely because of the fandom, home of some of the nicest people you'll ever find. I also enjoy having a good rant every week because the lack of resolution in each chapter makes me nice and angry. I find all of the faults in Naruto being what keeps me into Naruto. It just wouldn't be the same if I wasn't horribly pissed off at Sasuke's character.

Overall though, Naruto is a good story, if a little weak plot wise.

By that I mean ironically I read this manga mainly so I can tell people exactly why they shouldn't. The series starts off strong (first 13 or so Volumes) and introduces many interesting characters, each with their own, at least somewhat, unique abilities. It feels like a good, simple read, something that doesn't make you think much in order to enjoy it. Sadly things go to **** when the first "major" battle starts (Naruto vs. Gaara). The battle drags on forever and is an extremely uninteresting "ego-boxing" match. If I was to map the decline for this series, it all starts with this fight. After this point the chapters are often bogged down by numerous flashbacks and pathetic attempts to legitimize various characters internal struggles. At one point there are about 3-4 chapters in a row that are at least half flashbacks. Now when I say flashback it's important to note that I don't mean to an event that happened before the story started or to an even that happened parallel to the story but in another characters perspective; I mean flashbacks to events already depicted in the story, or in other words, "**** you've already read." The story stays steady until a few chapters before time the time jump starts. Basically these chapters feel like some kind of forced montage... really the whole time jump situation is kinda lame, "Oh yea... um... well nothing can happen for a few years so let's all just relax and train really hard or something, yea!" then things get better for awhile until the Itachi fight. This fight is where the series absolutely crashes. The fight is literally 20 chapters long and NOTHING happens. Let me say that again, nothing happens for 20+ chapters. Let me say that again, for 20ish chapters nothing happens. Let me say that again, 20 times in a row, you go to read a chapter of Naruto and the same exact thing happens - nothing. Let me say that about 16 more times and I've accurately described the Itachi fight. Fortunately the manga seems like it COULD end as soon as chapter 500... unfortunately I doubt it will.

My subject already kinda sums it up. Just ask another person, I'm sure they will fill you up on the details.

You know, this manga is terribly bad plot-wise, but I've seen worse. Definitely doesn't deserve a 10, but also is not as bad as 1. But, since hundreds of unreasonable people for whatever reason gave 10, so it is fair for me to give 1, just to balance things up.
