What do you get when you mix Dragonball Z and Ninjas together? You get
Naruto. Naruto is an very long, but entertaining anime. The first series
running about 220 episodes and the second series, Shippuden, running
about 150 episodes, yet it is big even today. It has some of the most
interesting story arcs you can find, and the animation is top notch. But
with an anime this large there doesn't seem to be an end in sight yet.
So how much longer can this anime go on before losing the attention of
Otakus?
Now the first place any reviewer should start for this anime is the
characters. This anime has a lot of characters. In every story arc they
create new good and bad guys, go into there back stories, and by the end
of the arc you grow to love them. This here is the reason why most
fanfic writers love this anime. When you get so many characters, you can
have a lot of material to write. But Characters are not enough to
create a great anime, you need a story.
The story is amazing. It is moved along completely by the characters,
with very little out side force. Story arcs are all different and
entertaining, with the exceptions of the fillers, the story is really
good. But as I said, there are a few things dragging down the story, and
you can't talk about Naruto with out talking about them.
First, it is long. If you have a low attention span, then some of the
longer story arcs feel like a task getting through. The last story arch
lasted 20 episodes! Then there is the evil every Naruto fan knows all
about: fillers. Filler arcs are used when an anime that is based off of a
manga, like Naruto, catches up with the manga. They are used to kill
time till the manga is far enough out that they can continue on with the
story without problems. Now I will be honest, I haven't watched every
filler episode, for a reason. Naruto has 3 years worth of fillers, and
by the time I got to them Shippuden came out. Now Shippuden creators
have made some interesting fillers as of late, fitting them into the
story by filling some holes that the manga didn't, so hopefully this
means they are trying a little more to make quality fillers.
Naruto is really good, for the most part it is fun and entertaining, the
characters are good and the story is interesting, and if they keep up
what they are doing, then I think this anime would be worth watching
till the end. You can check out Naruto on Hulu.
