Naruto hands down. the animation is more fluent and action sequences are deffinetly more vibrant......... Naruto dominance right now as far as quality artwork and very original storytelling is scary.

When Naruto goes mainstream i have a feeling it will make more of an impact on the US than Dragonball, DBZ, and DBGT.

But this is just IMOP.. hehe http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

where is the &#39;damn you for making me choose&#33;&quot; option?

there isn&#39;t one?
then DAMN YOU FOR MAKING ME CHOOSE FROM THESE TWO GREAT ANIMES&#33;


Edit: I voted now for RK... just cuz i felt like it.. now i&#39;m feeling guilty about it...

Well Berserk won against Kenshin so why do u think it would win against Naruto

I think Berserk vs. Nauto would have been a closer battle..

Actually its a tie for me there..

But against Kenshin, Naruto is a clear winner..

i loved kenshin, great story and characters. but naruto has to win because the same qualitys and then some. there are more plot twists and naruto doesn always win everything like in kenshin (where he would always win) also the animation on naruto is better and slighlty cooler looking characters.

Naruto, hands down. I never really got into Kenshin outside of the OVAs

man this is a really hard decision bc i really love kenshin and naruto but if i have to vote mine goes to naruto bc as soem of u already said naruto is more original and its has more to it plus in kenshin i really ahte it when he repeats hsi words over and over again its just fukin anoyin

http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce.gif I&#39;m madly in love with both animes, so I didn&#39;t vote&#33; Naruto is addictive to watch (I go crazy when I can&#39;t download an episode), but so is Kenshin, and I watched the whole series on Cartoon Network. Naruto is a very funny, but rather angsty, anime with a great variety of characters and twists (everything&#39;s practically original&#33;)such as the whole Demon Fox being sealed within Naruto. Ruruoni Kenshin is more intense with heavier battles and REALLY HOT GUYS. The story is also kind of more in depth, if you know what I mean.

kenshin is very cool and funny
the same goes for naruto,but the fight scenes and story are better

so naruto wins

Naruto has more plot twists.
Kenshin has a deeper story.

Naruto and Kenshin are both funny at parts.

Can&#39;t really compare the animation with obviously got better because of the years between the anime&#39;s, but if I did Naruto&#39;s would be better overall.

Naruto is good.
Kenshin is good.

So I&#39;m stuck...

*tosses coin*

Alright.. Kenshin today... Naruto tomorrow. Guess that means I&#39;m living in the past.

Rage for me? Maybe DBZ stuck in your head more because it had about triple the number of episodes plus it had movies and stuff. Don&#39;t get me wrong, I&#39;m a massive DBZ and Kenshin fan, having most Kenshin stuff in ogm format and having a decent amount of DBZ too. But then again, I have all thunder cats eps too (hang.. one ep is a fake double....

I actually think Kenshin has the better characters, thats one reason why i voted kenshin. Naruto has more variety in characters, but Kenshin&#39;s characters just own all, specially Battousai and Soujiro

Hotsuma
Mon, 12-29-2003, 05:29 AM
EDIT - Actually, I change my mind. Naruto isn't as good as Kenshin is. The prime of RK animation is better than whatever Naruto will ever have to offer. And as far as the manga is concerned it kicks Narutos can to the curb.

RK &gt; Naruto.

Mon, 12-29-2003, 06:36 AM
Hmm.. I have just seen the Trust&amp;Betrayal Oav of Kenshin. but that one is really nicely animated and the story is really nice. I just heard the Kenshin series dont look at all like that oav and isnt violent at all like the oav so I never got to downloading the Kenshin series.. But I think it&#39;s 2 different types of series and hard to compare atleast if Kenshin is alittle like the oav. alot more serious atleast.. But Naruto is so damn good overall anyway so I guess I would vote for Naruto..

http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif I canīt decide in this way , they canīt be compared, they are different but both are very good.

You better compare Kenshin with Peace maker Kurogane , the Story is from the same timeperiod.

I do not know with which to compare Naruto, maybe with DBZ or hunter X hunter , but those still dont fit,

I love them all in their special way and there is alot of story envolving in Naruto, when they can keep up the quality ,the story will go on for long , I hope so.

I voted for Naruto but if there was a third Vote, like I canīt decide , I like both ,

Iwould have chosen this. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif

I think that The young boy that always smile in the Juppongata(sp?) kicked ass.. He is the coolest guy in Kenshin.. I hate it that Kenshin never kills or loose.. That kid should have raped Kenshin and everybody else to.. I am on eps. 65 now so i dont know but he may be in the series later on.. But he was the coolest by far in the series up to eps. 65..

Tue, 04-26-2005, 09:06 AM
the only reason naruto wins this is because i havent read the kenshin manga, kenshin was awesome up to the kyoto arc after that it went downhill and it was dragged on with many pointless eps here ande there, if i have to choose by only considering the anime kenshin is far cooler, samurais own ninjas thats just the way it is.

Kenshin rocks, other stuff rock less (except a few, which rock more)

Kenshin anime is so much better than Naruto cause even the fillers ep were good while the fillers in Naruto makes me sick.....

Kenshin were good from the start to end while Naruto gets bad after 60 or so eps.

One cannot even begin to compare Kenshin and Naruto... Kenshin's depth is beyond Naruto's by far... That is enough said... Kenshin is the best series along with Now and then here and there and the movie Grave of the fireflies.

The 1st ova was a msterpiece in my eyes , naruto takes alot from toher animes if u like it or not. comeon how many times have u seen animes where some1 wants to grow strongeror some1 wants revenge and etc.
hands down kenshin wins

Dude, once you read the Kenshin manga, the Naruto manga will seem like CRAP. Not sorry to say at all, since Naruto isn't going anywhere but down since... well a long time.

Even the 66 episodes of RK (I won't acknowledge the other 39) are miles better than all 120 (excluding those stupid fillers) or so of Naruto.

Gah ahahahaha. That's a good one, Hakeem! Sad thing is, you might just be correct. Considering most episodes in naruto were flashbacks, I just might be inclined to agree.

XanBcoo
Fri, 05-06-2005, 12:53 AM
I dunno though. I think a lot of those flashbacks gave naruto a real appeal for me. Whatever, that's a different topic.
It's a toss up for me though. I can't decide which is better. But since I'm actually watching naruto now, I'll say Naruto.

Hakeem_21
Fri, 05-06-2005, 07:33 AM
Some flashback are good but most flashbacks are ones we have seen several times before.

Hotsuma:

The flashbacks are the only things that are bad,the story is too slow i mean 70-100+ eps have been about Sasuke and his sharingan and stuff. When there are lots of better characther who need more airtime....

Tue, 10-25-2005, 07:43 PM
I'm holding judgment on this one until I see more of Naruto (after all the fillers are done) I think it'd be silly to try to compare when we don't even know how Naruto will end.

Hakeem_21
Tue, 10-25-2005, 07:50 PM
Kenshin had some annoying characters like Kaori were that her name ? anyway its still much better than Naruto cause the mangaka can actually tell a story without bieng too predictable while you know what will happen in Naruto long before you see its so predictable it is.

I think they're both about tied for me. Both have a lot of impact when watching them. There are different aspects of both that I like as well, so it's hard to draw a line.

I do have to say that I much prefer Watsuki's art style to Kishimoto's.

Kenshin. When Naruto is at it's best, it comes close, but Kenshin is one hell of a series.

Oh and a funny thing happened today (which is kinda why I post i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif). There is this theme song collection out for Kenshin which costs like $30 (+shipment), and it contains video clips of all Kenshin related songs. I found it for $2 in a local CD shop, second-hand. Isn't that insane? In fucking Sweden!!

How can you make them into 2 options? You cant really compare them. Of course many people prefer Naruto. Its just so commercial anyone falls for it. Kenshin is just ART and Naruto is a DragonBall type anime, pure commercial, made with the only purpose of making you guys Naruto addicts ( not saying Im not) but you cant compare those two. Their made with completely different purposes and the background is also different. If you have to choose then choose between naruto and Bleach for example. Choosing between Kenshin and Naruto is just Dumb.
