Naruto - Overrated?

~~The Marauder~~ · February 10th, 2006, 09:24 PM

Well let it be known that I post this topic expecting to be flamed. Yes, it is true. I really don't care for Naruto. It isn't that it is a bad show, it just isn't a great one in my opinion. Before you accuse me of hating something I know nothing about, know that I have seen about 10 episodes, which is enough in my opinion. My real problem though, is that everyone else seems to think that it is the greatest show ever. Why do you think this?

Is FFVII overrated? Is BLEACH overrated? Is GOD overrated?

Yes

I dare not flame you. But I do not hate Naruto nor do I disrespect it but the idea of this "jutsu" being toyed around with for entertainment isn't really too grand. Like trying to understand why Ninjas were in the original Batman with Adam West. Some appreciate this "Ninja" form but I'd prefer not to get into it.

It WILL become overrated if people won't shut up about it. The bad thing about being an anime fan is that you can like it, then when other people start to ghey it up, your seniority vanishes because so many people like it.

Well most of us are the typical americans. Whenever something new comes out kids go crazy because we don't really see that much anime imported to america. And for some the only way you will see it is if you go to china town.... No offense to any asians Just putting that out. But remember i'm speaking for U.S. citizens. Its just that people don't really exploit ninja's in shows that much so for some when Naruto came out.... It was like this

Kid1- Ohh you heard about that Show Na-Ru-To
kid2- Yea but i'm not gonna watch it, it seems corny
kid1- Fine ok
Later On
kid1- Omg that was hot, i wanna see more

Then when that kid goes to school....
kid1- Have you heard of that show Naruto, its pretty good...

*or it could be the other way around*

But soon word gets out and people try their luck with the show. Some may tend to like it where as others may oppose it, either way people are making their money and kids have new Ninja Headbands.

Ahhhh the way of the world.

Four-sided shuriken were originally used to remove nails.

Most ninja are too poor to afford REAL weapons so they used the nail-removers as a sub.

The Japanese are stereotyping themselves? Is that possible?

eh, it's all right to meh

Girlygirl · February 20th, 2006, 09:01 PM

i guess the shows OKAY but i have only seen like 15 episodes, 5 of those I fully watched.

it's overrated the anime at least the manga is 50x better!!! Rock Lee pwns all!!!

I don't mean to offend anyone but I think that Naruto is for little kids. My friends make it sound like its the next Lord of the Rings. I rather be tortured by nails screeching on a chalkboard than watch Naruto. That's my opinion. I laugh at my neighbor who lives across the street, who is 17 or 18 years old and wears a headband from the show. He is mega obsessed and thinks that he is cooler than everyone else, but he is just the opposite.

I know that you might think, "This eevee has no room to talk, look at her username!!!" Yes, yes, but I have grown out of pokemon and I am no longer obsessed with it. In fact, the reason why I want to get 1,000 posts is to change my username. :\

i have a suggestion for you rgo read the manga where Haku is killed and then tell me if little kids should read it.....no i'm serious go check it out this isn't an insult just shocked truth....

eevee · February 20th, 2006, 10:19 PM

I'm sticking with my opinion. The show looks too much like a kids show. I don't want to read the manga because the show has made me not like the series. I like more serious mangas and animes.
