Why is Naruto so popular?

[Nathan Drake]

Naruto would be so much better if this happened to 4th Hokage.

That may be the greatest thing I have ever witnessed.

the fifth hokage may have two BIG things to do with the anime's/manga's popularity



if you guys didn't get my hinting, show spoiler

Tsunade's huge breasts

Because it has ninjas, lots of screaming and loud explosions.
Almost every ten-year old boy likes that kind of stuff.

I know I used to watch and read Naruto when I was younger. I don't do it anymore, though because of how dull the story is.

I both love it and hate it.
I love the storyline...
But I hate that every fucking episode is a flashback to the episode where sasuke left.
+ Every battle is stretched to 10 episodes, just to make the episodes longer.

I love how the DBZ fan commented that he hated how Naruto spams the same attack and yells the same things too often....

 

[RiotShooter]

I havent watched the show in ages but I still read the manga every week. Its something to do and to look forward to every week.

On Topic...

The reason Naruto is popular?

[1] Main character that nobody likes at the beginning
[2] Train a little, get into some fight, do same retarded thing every time.
[3] ???
[4] Profit

That's it in a nutshell. Kids like to see a guy who can do the same shit every fucking time and somehow everyone thinks he's "the man" or summat. Everything else plays second fiddle to it. Which is kind of sad, because if you take the Naruto-Sasuke-Sakura thing out of it, some of it is actually pretty good [a bit cliched, but still good nevertheless].

Babys first anime.

i don't like the story that much anymore....i'm not getting surprised that much. and doesn't look forward to what will happen next. i like some of the comedy, though it's mostly serious(or emo) now.(manga)
i just like the characters. and i just want to see them in action and what happens to them.

naruto's sage mode and 9 tails chakra mode.
sasuke. a bit emo? he's just dark.
sakura. i just like her looks a bit. and she's a strong medic.
hinata

. she's so shy, so cute.
shikumaru, excellent shinobi.
temari, i find her hawt.


oh and the thought of having a very strong nine-tailed fox inside you?

Oh lawd Naruto!
I never honestly had a really big problem with this series. I've watched it from the beginning to a good portion a Shippuden and just fell out of it.... It became more of the same and I couldn't stand it. It's probably the same reason why I don't have as much love for anime as my friends since I don't really have patience for those few shows that are just "more of the same" each season or episode.

Out of curiosity, I've asked my friends what keeps them glued to the show but I get nothing but responses close to "You hate everything that's good!".

It was a decent show but I just feel it has dragged on far too long.

 

[Raika]

I used to watch it. Forced myself to finish the first season years ago (English dub to make things worse), dropped Shippuuden (or however the hell it's spelled) 2 years ago because I couldn't take how draggy the anime was.

I tried to watch the episode where I left off a few months ago to give it another chance (didn't want to be some biased bitch who hated it unreasonably), but I just didn't like it.

I was forcing myself to finish the episode, and instead of going "Damn this is exciting, I want to know what's going to happen next!" I went "Oh god, is the episode gonna end soon? *checks time left and groans*" instead.

 

[Theraima]

I also watched it for a looong time and about two years ago I started watching One Piece & FMA:B and Naruto just faded away and then I started to realize how boring it is. I tried to watch a few episodes, but I always ended up doing something else. There are actually two characters that I still like, Neji and Shikamaru. Theyre just awesome.

"Why is it so popular?" - I'm guessing there isnt really one right answer, dumb people are dumb. When I was still at fifth or sixth class everyone else was watching Naruto also. Then, we got older and no one watches it anymore..

The games are actually decent, imo.

The masses like generic stuff.

So you are saying Naruto is generic?

It's very generic.

 

[Deleted member 473940]

Define what means generic to you.
Thats just lol.

It follows the same plot that 90% of all anime follows with little changes done to it. Not to mention most of Naruto is filler at this point.
I am not saying it's bad, I am just saying it's predicable with little to no changes done to it, it plays it safe and doesn't take chances, the same can be said of most anime these days.

 

[AlanJohn]

TBH I find Naruto a not bad series.
But the fan-made yaio is great!

 

[ItsMetaKnight]

Huh? It's still popular?
I thought it was only popular for a few weeks...

Naruto sucks.

 

[soulbad]

Honestly I have to say that Naruto is somewhat unique. I've watched plenty of anime, and while I don't watch Naruto anymore I can't objectively say that it was generic. Of course it's not the greatest anime I've ever seen, but it's not horrible either.

I think another question to ask is, why must people hate on anything that's popular?

These things aren't usually as great as the masses make them out to be, but obviously they're doing something right to gain that favoritism.
