average anime = something that you would watch if there was nothing better to watch

naruto is very much an average anime. i will admit its not bad, but theres really nothing in it that could push it into the good range either.

This is why:-
complex combat? hi kenshin did it before and did it better. hell even tenjou tenge does it better cause they dont take the time to explain every single move which bogs down the story =P i'm pretty sure that there are even older anime that do it better since this is not really a new concept at all.

annoying protagonist. Naruto is single handedly the most annoying shit in anime to date.
If i wanted to see annoying little shits with napoleon complexes i would just go to work. would be more entertaining too since those shits wouldnt have deus ex machina to save them from being owned.

very very poor pacing + storyline. seriously ..... how do you see naruto ending? its 83 eps in and theres no end in sight. all it is , is more and more fights against ever increasingly ridiculous opponents. in fact i'm betting that the only way Naruto will ever end is if Jesus himself comes down and bitch slaps him.

in closing, Naruto = teh sux because of unoriginal and poorly done concept + annoying protagnist + extremely bad storyline pacing

only reason i would ever watch naruto is if there was absolutely nothing else to watch in between eps of FMA but fortunately it hasnt come to that yet.
