Why is Naruto so popular?

[Pyrmon]

Naruto is extremely stupid, as showcased by the kid who died when him and his friend tried to recreate the Sand Coffin jutsu that Gaara used during the Chuunin Exams in the series' first air on Cartoon Network. If a show has fans that will recreate any stupid part of it, even when it is obviously deadly in real life, then it must be stupid.

While I wholeheartedly agree that these children were profoundly mentally challenged, this constitutes in no way a reliable method to judge a TV show. If you did judge shows based on this "method", nearly all TV shows would fall under the category "Profoundly stupid", for the simple reason that mentally challenged persons, AKA "morons", can have a wide variety of tastes in matter of entertainment.

One Piece is complete crap. I didn't know they had that much of a bad taste, in Japan.

I know this comment is gonna come off as fanboyish, but have you even seen a good portion of it to know? Pretty much everyone who has seen One Piece and hated it has judged it on a very shallow level.

ive seen one piece from episode 1 to at least around 200 , and for me it was just dull and boring , they never took anything serious , they just goof around half of the time,even when in a fight , which was fun at first but then just go boring after a few fights, don't get me wrong the fighting scenes are good when they actually do it right and be serious for once

They're serious rather often actually, though the manga's better, it is a rather serious show that only shows humor when necessary.

It's so...plain, I guess. It doesn't really do much to make it unique other than make the ninjas...well...not ninjas. The artwork is subpar, the characters range from forgettable to slightly interesting or forgettable to interesting depending on if you like the average male shounen archetypes, the relationships are...odd. Naruto "loving Sakura comes completely out of nowhere and has very little substance, but he is clearly in love with Sasuke (and nothing is wrong with that). It's just a plain Shounen, really.

 

[Trulen]

It's light-hearted, and doesn't take itself too seriously.
Plus, there's plenty of likable characters.
The story's so-so, but everyone loves a little dude risin' to the top (though, now he's just OP.)

I like it, though I'd never watch the TV show. Too many flashbacks. I highly recommend reading the comic. Just a shame my boy Shino doesn't get more facetime!

Actually as the story goes on it gets more and more serious. The thing is, the reason I don't like Naruto specifically (well, one of the reasons) is because he is not only the "rise to the top" character but also the "chosen character", and thus he uses power that is not his own to get to the top. I think in that respect the pilot had a better story.

Oh Naruto, how boring you are. I like the current plot revelation during battles that's happening in the manga though.

LOL OK, OK.
I guess I am just a "fanboy". Usually I am no fanboy of anything.
but I am just cool with the way Naruto is going. A little too much filler, but other than that, its fine with me.

How far are you, exactly?

I stopped watching the show...2 or 3 years ago? I started reading the manga when the anime was in the Gaara Rescue arc because it was going to slow. What arc is the anime in?

 

[Deleted member 473940]

Well, Confining the Jinchuriki.

Spoiler

in the last episode Kabuto scared Madara with "Reanimation Jutsu", and summoned someone "unknown" in a coffin that wasnt shown. I am guessing its either Madara himself or Sage of Six Paths.
Naruto is gonna meet Killer Bee for training.

Oh, I just started the Akatsuki vs. Council arc. I'll probably continue to read the manga, should my hate for it secede in the process it would be nice.

From the beginning up to the Skypiea arc, then followed the Enies Lobby arc a while. After that I couldn't stand it anymore.
...Does that suffice?

The anime's already at that part? Nice! I won't miss watching the entire Naruto spiritual training thing. That was awesome.

Aw

Enies Lobby is probably the best arc yet.

Yeah, it wasn't that bad, except maybe the fact that the battles get dragged for oh-so-long and that the action is dispersed between a miriad of characters, when all we want to see is the freaking main character.

Oh, and also the fact that One Piece has no freaking end in sight.
...I get it, the Author wants to cash in it as long as possible (just like Bleach), but heck, he should just make those guys find the freakin' One Piece, and then give them a new adventure or something.
