Naruto Social

Naruto has a story that is presented in an unique way and it was incredibly hilarious. Also, it has a lot of 'teachings' that American cartoons can't match. It's heartfelt. This series really promotes positive change. There is an old Scottish saying that goes: "Better to bend than break." One way of interpreting that is that people who are too rigid and unyielding will lead to their own ruin. In Naruto, the main character is always putting out positive messages and searching for the good in people. If he can find one good thing about that person, he can convince them they are better than the evil inside them. He is always hopeful that people can change. Redemption is a major theme of this manga/anime.That is the MOST inspiring message of the entire series. Naruto, himself, is proof that people are capable of change for the better in the face of adversity and undeserved hatred. That being said, all of these philosophical and internal struggles go on while the main characters FIGHT EPIC BATTLES WITH SWEET NEW JUTSU!!!!! And that makes for a freaking interesting story any day. I mean, I don't know what else to say to convince old fans that this series hasn't gone to the dogs. If you want to think negatively about it and your mind is set on that, then I obviously can't stop you. Hopefully, you can continue to love & appreciate the series like I do. Because, I'll tell you something I've learned from countless conventions and memberships in anime clubs: This anime/manga has attracted the coolest & most diverse fan-base I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. I mean it, all of the Naruto fans I've met are lovely, imperfect people searching for positivity & hope in an often-time cruel & frightening reality.
