this will be short and sweet. I don't write reviews but naruto having so many 10's really gets to me. The overlaying story is very well done(for the most part). the art, i like(unlike some younger people used to way different quality). Sound is on point. Unique and impactful. That being said, everything else about the show is mediocre at best. The characters advance, but done actually DEVELOP, with the exception of naruto and sasuke(i'll give you shikimaru as well i suppose). Sakura learns to fight, and then barely does. everyone else has basically a static personality that may change a little bit, but then
...
goes back to as it was. This show, along with bleach, are what i call failed potential. Great premises, could go so far, but seems to fall short due to filler and mediocre character development. I will say the show is enjoyable, but come prepared with a filler guide and if your anything like me, u can watch naruto and around 100 episodes of shippuden before you feel it's worth watching. as for me it was the first death involving an akatsuki attack(if you've watched, you know who) that finally made the show seem to have some form of realism and depth and frankly it shouldnt have taken that long. If a 12 episode anime with a crappy story can make me cry, why did it 300+ for shippuden to illicit a similar response? If you read this, thank you and i encourage you to watch the show, as it lasted for a reason, even if i feel it fell short of its mark.
