I also like One Piece, Berserk, and I'm currently obsessed with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (just finished part 5 today).
Now, why am I making this thread?
It's because I'm noticing a trend.
Now, let's take Naruto as an example, since it's what I used to draw your interest to this thread. It's okay to dislike Naruto
for actual reasons. Here, I'll be helpful and give you all some examples.
- Character growth is much slower than people are used to. Believe it or not, it actually exists (in recent chapters Naruto has actually made friends with the fox spirit inside him, and learned it's name), but it's so slow that you can easily spend a hundred chapters dealing with a character who has annoying flaws (mainly Naruto himself from the start), and that's way too long for some people, especially when you consider the growth that some animated series tend to shove into a 26-episode series.
