@flamingpandaomg oh. well, it's an age thing really. By the time Naruto came out, my brother and I have already seen dozens of things just like it. Granted my one friend my age fell hard for Naruto, but he makes up for it by being a rabid Guyver fan. But back to my original point, guys my age have already been drained of our patience and tolerance of seemingly unending shonen stories with very little character-driven action. DBZ, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho (probably one of the better ones tbh), etc. I'm sure there are qualities in Naruto that make it strong for people who see it with a kind of newness, but the dealbreaker that ultimately turned me off on Naruto was the character design. If I have to stare at the same costume designs and characters for 3 seasons or more, I want them to be visually pleasing. The artist for Naruto has come out and said the illogical footwear in Naruto exists solely as an excuse for him (her?) to draw toes. I only have 52 characters left, so banana cream oie.
