it is very hard to judge a series that you have followed since middle school
or Naruto is contributing as one of my first encounter with anime I'll give 7/10 for Naruto It is because it become very boring at the end but it succeed in building hype like when Shipuuden series started, Kakashi's past arc, several characters' died (I still remember Jiraiya and Itachi though), interesting character (basically.. Itachi!), revelations of past, neat connection between current generation with past generation, and lastly... the romance (Naru-Hina is the best thing ever to happen) Great memory for my childhood Cheer for Kishimoto-sensei |

Up until the death of Sarutobi I'd give it an 8/10. Compared to how the whole thing ended, the first arc was kinda cute. The chuunin arc introduced some awesome new rivals and the Konoha siege was also a pretty good arc. Sarutobi vs Oro was a great fight. I remember we used to debate on the forum back then if Shukaku was a tailed beast or not.
From the time Sasuke left Konoha and until the end of the series I'd give it a 4/10. I didn't like how the abilities became ridiculous, starting with the sound 4 and culminating up to the VotE fight for part 1, and getting even worse in part 2. It was ok at first with just a couple of characters being monstrous like Oro and Gaara, but not when every character needed to be a freak to stay relevant. In part 2 it got even worse with ridiculously overpowered abilities like teleporting, immortality, unsealing stuff from the death god etc. The first 2-3 arcs just gave me different expectations. They had some awesome abilities but they were still human and still fought "ninja-like". You couldn't really say that any of the akatsuki were "ninja-like", and that theme just carried on for the rest of the new powerful characters. Then there were too many characters that were outright stronger than the jinchuuriki, which kinda defeated the point of using the tailed beasts as weapons. Apart from 8 and 9 tails, the rest were pretty weak. The motives and reasoning of some characters was just weird, and by some characters I mean every Uchiha, but especially Itachi, Sasuke, Madara and Obito. Explaining it off by saying the sharingan makes them crazy (or "sensitive" lol) was a pretty cheap cop-out imo. Their behaviour ruined the whole narrative. The theme of 3 man teams - specifically male genius/male hothead/female healer - was done to death several times over. Also, lol at Neji being the only one of the original Konoha 12 to die, and I think Kishi had even said in an interview than none of them would die. Overall my experience of Naruto after Sasuke left Konoha was waiting for a few cool fights while being bored to mildly annoyed with everything in between. I wish Kishi had stuck to his original ideas, that Sarutobi was the strongest hokage, that Sakura would be a genjutsu user etc. Also, -3 points for everything to do with Obito. Jiraiya was pretty awesome though. |

I'd actually completely forgotten about Sakura being a potential genjutsu user. However, then Kishimoto would've had no idea what to do with Sasuke- after all, genjutsu is what the sharigan specializes in, and the Uchiha clan is the master of sharigan. And as I keep going on about, Kishimoto loves the Uchiha clan.

genjutsu isn't what the sharingan specializes in. just think about madara and obito. they hardly ever used it. kishi could have done exactly the same thing with sasuke as he is now. sasuke never specialized in genjutsu and only used short bursts of it. he is much more of a physical attacker than a mental fighter like itachi was. it would have made a nice symmetry if sakura could compete at itachi's level with genjutsu. it would have given sasuke a legitimate reason to appreciate and respect her

Admittedly, Obito pretty much used his teleportation trick... but Madara did use his eyes to unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi. However, if I think about it, the real reason why Sakura got left by the wayside was because Kishimoto turned this manga into Naruto vs. Sasuke, and everything they did to power up and beat the other. Outside of the fight vs. Kaguya, the last time Sakura was truly relevant was against Sasori. This was also before they had met up with Sasuke again. Once they met up with Sasuke, as I said before, the whole manga became Naruto vs. Sasuke. Though, the Pain arc and trianing involved with that was a nice break, and probably why I enjoyed it so much- taking the spotlight off what i still consider to be a poorly-done attempt at rivalry

Oh, i remember before that genjutsu ability is more suited for intelligent/genius type of people that's why Jiraiya once told NAruto he can never be genjutsu user. so i was thinking Madara is not a genius type..well we could consider the childhood history of Madara and Hashirama i dont know if i make sense here |

madara was a genius. arguably the biggest genius of the series.
also, i never said he didn't use genjutsu. i said he rarely used it and that he didn't use his eyes to make IT. IIRC IT was caused by the tree of life flower blooming and reflecting off the moon. edit: it's also the third eye of the juubi jinchuuirki, which is obviously a pretty specific case Last edited by itachi-san314; 2014-12-23 at 12:47. |

-Hinata could have been Tsunade's apprentice
-Medical ninjutsu suits her kind demeanor -She was already making medicine, so she had affinity for it -She could've been Tsunade's kind surrogate daughter and learned more confidence -Super strength + gentle fist = 1 touch 1 kill -Kurenai could've taught Sakura genjutsu I put Naruto as below average because there were some great ideas and awesome jutsus but the execution of said ideas and blatant WTF moments (like Pains mass resurrection) just ruined it and made the manga as a whole completely wasted potential.

I did not want to hate this series, Kishimoto made me hate the timeskip. The themes of hardwork was destroyed for destiny crap. Team 7's relationship, sans Kakashi, was truly the most toxic thing I have ever witnessed in fiction. The motivations of Obito was disgusting and it was non-consequential. Part I gets a 6/10, the "Rescue Sasuke" arc ruined it. Part II gets a 1/10, for the obvious reasons |

what don't you like about it in particular? i'm curious because that was probably my favorite arc in the story. it's at least tied for favorite with a couple others for me. the only thing i didn't like was sasuke's curse seal release design

After saying that he didn't want to see his comrades falling before him in the Sand war arc, that was ruined for Sasuke falling into vengeance Naruto get ruined for trying to get Sasuke back instead on improving his own standing of trying to be a Hokage and relying on the Kyubi It wasn't even a rescue. Sasuke wanted to leave to be with a literal snake in the grass, Orochmaru. The guy who almost killed him with that seal and got the 3rd Hokage killed. The only thing I liked about it was Shikamaru proving that he is an effective Chunin and leader. |

yea, this certainly wasn't the first or defining moment of her awfulness. her character was always pretty awful
