after so much bragging about naruto I've heard (from friends), I've decided to download it..
here are my view
good points:
1) innovative graphics, non-repetitive motions
2) wide range of techniques and good setting design
bad points:
1) typical main character... some extremely stupid lowlife becomes the main char again..
2) the idea is poor, almost in every event in the story, the char start the fight as an underdog... but he/she evolves and win..surprised? oh..and btw, some villain is trying to take over the world...and naruto is going to be "the man" to stop him eventually after being so determined..
3) toriyama tried to make the main char stands out from the rest.. how? some fvcking stupid ways that make me pissed off when I think this anime could've been much better otherwise..
a) stand out with "lively" colors --orange..yellow hair... stupid look
his way of speaking... always end with ってば (teba teba) ...which also pissing me off wanting to kick the shit out of naruto ..he definitely isn't my fav char.... btw, japanese do say teba "sometimes" but when u do it at the end of every sentence..it gets on my nerve..
c) the typical hot headed style speech ...scream at everything ...
4) like the rest of the japanese anime or drama out there, this anime is no exception to the idealistic approach... mofo with great determination evolves ... "nindou" ...never give up even though dying...
5) ppl never die !!! (though toriyama probably tried to make something new by making a few not-so-important ppl died)
6) they talk bloody ...tooooo much... I can't believe they talk that much while fighting a dead or alive situation... explaining every little detail to the simple minded audience (or at least that's the impression they make)
7) too much flash back... in a 20min episode... on average..there's about 5-10min flashback ...which I often skip coz they tend to be repetitive and it's also meaningless.. I guess toriyama has to put them in there to meet the quota.... u know... something like :
-producer:"yo fker, 1 episode per week or no rice tonight"
-toriyama:"damn... oh well..let's chuck in some flash back..that'll do it.."
8) I know he has to meet the quota and prolong the damn series coz kiddo don't mind shits... but hey... I thought ninja was supposed to kill without rules ...and "FAST" !! ... after they beat someone..even enemies..they always stand there waiting for the opponent to stand up (or flash back for 5 mins ... telling themselves they should be determined ...blah blah blah) then a new move come up and the battle is prolonged for another 2-3 episodes..
9) y da f do they have to stick with 12yr old kiddo?.... y can't they make them 15yr old at least?.. coz it seems stupid ... little kiddo tries to look cool (neji/sasuke)
this is a typical anime that is produced solely to fill in the tv schedule... the only reason it got so famous is probably because of the "seemingly" new setting (ninja) and fight scenes aren't repetitive motions.... other than that... it's shit...
all in all... I think I'll stop watching it at episode 62 ..(took me 3min to watch this episode) ---coz I didn't watch the flashback and didn't watch the fight when naruto got the chakra (or chi/ki 気) (btw...y da f do they call it chakra?.) from the 9 tails coz I knew the result... even the flashbacks... lemme guess, it's about how neji got the idea everything is predestined?...
I won't download it coz I'd rather spend time searching for something worthwhile...
anime like "boys be" / "shingetsutan tsukihime" are much better ...1000000x better.. anime that I actually spent 20min to watch (and burnt to cd to keep)
I think I missed a few pts.... add to the list if u find one..
