ReplyDeleteReally? I tried watching this series and just could not stand it. Granted I was watching the dubbed but by the end of the episode I wanted them all dead.
ReplyDeleteHave to disagree with this as your first choice if you are trying to introduce others into anime.
Yes, I agree I should of began with an anime that is more neutral on what type of audience its aiming for. This anime is truly aimed for young boys and adolescents.
DeleteMy long standing anime that's still airing right now is One Piece. I remember watching that on Saturday morning for a few seasons before the pulled it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good choice, but has a slight annoying side to it.
Yes, I agree that One Piece is a great anime. I just love how Luffy has this unyielding loyalty and faith in his nakamas
DeleteI'm kinda surprised there are some negative comments here. Naruto is quite possibly the most popular anime in the world. Even though I'm not a huge fan and have only seen a couple dozen episodes, I'll still watch it if I happen to catch it. Good first pick.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yeah, I was surprised by the negative response. I choose it because its popularity and I also enjoyed watching it.
DeleteI think it is popular for the same reason Bleach and Inuyashu are, they are some of the few animes Americans have been exposed to and because of that many don't take anime as a serious media.
ReplyDeleteFLCL, Nana, Paranoid Agent, Lovely Complex, Toradora, Sankerea, Sword Art Online, Black Rock Shooter, Full Metal Alchemist, Clannad, Death Note, oh I can go on and on and still not scratch the surface. Point being they deal with more adult subject matter and situations. Anyway just my personal opinion and I am enjoying your blog.
Not gonna lie, I disliked this anime. I find the main characters very obnoxious and the supposed "climax" of this series to be predictable and disappointing. And continuing down the line, it's just filler after filler. And if this anime is about ninjas, then why are the ninjas incredibly flashy in their attacks and rely so little on stealth? They got it all mixed up.
ReplyDeleteWell, this wouldn't be the first Shonen Jump series to annoy me and it certainly wouldn't be the last.
