What went wrong?

We need to accept pairings took the key roll in everything that came after 698.

SASOOKEY, HE'S REALLY COOL

Kishimoto made the Uchiha and the Sharingan incredibly fucking broken. Nobody outside Konoha mattered at all.

The fandom ruined any chance I have to fap to Hinata porn because they cant stop crying over Narusaku.

Madara was a great final boss but Kishi had to fuck it all up at the very end

...

Everything post-Pain's defeat, although the ending had a surprising amount of great ("great") stuff.

>Sauce wanting to be Hokage out of left field
>immediate pivot back to center and wants to destroy Konoha again
>He was the coolest guy!
>Yeah, sorry
>putting Kabuto in charge of the kids in ninja school
>Guy stating that his springtime of youth is over (fuck you Kishi)

Unfortunately pretty much everything else was grating, especially taking time in almost every chapter after the Hokages are reanimated for them to take time and mention how fucking awesome Naruto is and how he's going to surpass everyone and their mother.

Madara could have been way better of an enemy too if he wasn't marginalized by Kaguya.

fuck off narutards

Obito was 2cool to live.

Part 1 was actually pretty great. Although the filler hell after Naruto vs Sasuke killed it.

Part 2 started off good, but the Ninja World War (post-Pain arc) killed it.

Still pretty decent for a shounen if you look at the whole picture. Unfortunately the fanbase can be pretty toxic.

Nothing

It's the whole muh sasuke plotline. Everything after that went to shit.

Sauce going AWOL

Fillers,

/thread

>go on booru for hinata porn
>all her pics are downvoted

Kishi going out of his way to excuse the shittiness of the Uchiha.

>Intense fighting
>someone starts to lose
>flashbacks of shit we already saw a 100 times before
>they get an avantage

Only thing wrong otherwise the anime is great.

Part 1 was good
Part 2 jumped the shark during the Danzo fight, it was probably the worst thing in the entire manga
Also, the Uchiha bullshit as a whole ruined the manga

Nothing.

NaruSakufags or its really that bad?

Madara didn't win

>No sharingan
BRAVO KISHI/SP

Naruto's obsession over sasuke's dick.

when the hand signs started to dissapear

there were signs pointing to NaruHina but NaruSakufags were too retarded to spot them

Pain Assault?

Q U A L I T Y

is it on now?

they never really disappeared it's just that most characters got justsus that don't use them
It's always good to see them come up every now and then

they outsourced that to some russian studio didn't they?

Most Anime is made in Korea/China/Taiwan. They chose to animate that in house, Japanese pride.

they really fucked it up heh

What went right?

Not enough darkness

Sasuke didn't marry naruto

Gaiden
till chapter 10 when it was revealed that its red herring all along

hd
animation
overall designs(character/environment)
especially music

He still has Naruto's heart and his kid's love, so it's fine.

Everything after the fucking terribly animated Pain fight was just shitty.

except for that bit where sakura was going to poison sasuke and naruto saves her or some shit, that was probably the last part i enjoyed.

>i wasn't in Sup Forums for the shitstorm that was the last couple chapters of the 4th great ninja war
what reason do i have to not off myself right now Sup Forumsnons?

I've always thought Naruto is a bit like a huge impressionist canvas.

If you look from across the room it loos really pleasant. The broad strokes are really nice and expressive. As soon as you take a few steps in to enjoy the detail it reveals itself to be a huge ugly mess that looks like it was painted by an armless potato with parkinson's.

I don't get it, what hapepned?

The shounen serialization system that means series are planned without an actual end point in mind causing plots to inevitably spiral out of control once the series becomes too popular to die and the author needs greater and greater asspulls to keep it going.

>literally 600+ episodes now in total

i don't think it's that hard to see what fucked up
how much story did they possibly hope to get out of this

>600
We're nearly 700

He sort of did

Sarada was supposed to be Karin's daughter but then Kishi pussied out last minute

Sarada was supposed to be Karin's daughter raised by Sakura but some fags threw a shit storm and it was changed in the last chapter

What about Sakura and Karin?

Jeezus, I'll stick with the manga version.

Kakashi didn't have a child with Anko and stop her from getting fat.

Needed more Tobirama antics.
Literally not enough memes/10

That was just a red herring to trick the audience. Kishi wasn't going to have his golden boy Sauce cheat on his wife nor was he going to make a forgotten joke character the new female lead's real mom.

Choji's daughter is a reason why Anko got fat.

>Got turned fat.

I can't fap to Nanashi's NaruHina doujins because they give my heart a bone instead if my dick.

Almost evenly jutsu uses then - even the Chidori. Kishi just said that he moved all of the hand seals off screen and off panel because it would've taken up too much time and space otherwise.

So Sasuke having threesome with Sakura and Karin?

I honestly thought Kakashi was getting set up with the chick from his light novel, the Ice Release Kunoichi.

>Sasuke touching Sakura or Karin

>What went wrong?

cardinal sins:
> kishi's not smart enough to develop a consistent world/plot
> power growth got obscene and tactics/subterfuge became inconsequential
> uchiha dick sucking
> not wrapping up shit faster after Pain, including 200+ chapter 2-day war

other issues:
> filler hell in adaptation
> annoying and autistic as fuck fanbase

personal grievances:
> Nardo didn't give Hinata the D like immediately after the Pain arc
> Borto time-skip shits on everything, makes Nardo miserable from achieving his life goal

He made Salad somehow.

Team 7.

Them being so close to each other despite only being a team for like 2 months.

Turkey baster no jutsu

Yeah, but nah man she had to go away and atone.

Kakashi should've just died, he would be fucking Rin in the afterlife and would have cuck'd Obito.

I mean last chapter Obito only helped Kakashi literally because if he had died Rin would have fucked Kakashi.

It wouldn't be cheating if it was pre-marital

It also made the message kind of stupid

It's amazing how badly that was portrayed. nardo and sauce barely communicated, spent most of their time fighting, and Sakura was a cunt in general, but no they're supposed to have some unbreakable bond n sheeeit

Say what you will about the next gen, at least they feel like they're friends

>Borto time-skip shits on everything, makes Nardo miserable from achieving his life goal

Don't forget. Naruto let the village get destroyed by pic related despite being Ninja Jesus.

Isn't Boruto just Naruto GT?

>It also made the message kind of stupid
Message was going to be stupid either way because with "who raises you is your actual parent" then Salad would have had to tell Sasuke to go fuck himself and that she never wants to see him again, which of course won't happen since Sasuke is considered the greatest and most awesome person that has ever existed.

Besides, it's not like Kishi hasn't shat on his messages before like when he turned "hard working loser Naruto" into the winner of the genetic lottery and the reincarnation of a ninja God

They got talented freelance animators for that episode actually. It was the same main animators who worked on Birdy Decode.

Kishi is approving the story.
It would at least be barely okay if he let someone who can actually draw do it.

>characters who had tits no longer have them
>wooden planks everywhere

Wasn't it just a filler?

>Borto time-skip shits on everything, makes Nardo miserable from achieving his life goal
The series shit on itself long before Burrito: The Series

Yes, but it's based on a canon one shot made by Kishi.

Naruhina a shit.

And yet still the best couple

Not even close

>couple
They never got together, so it's unrequited.

The main central thrust of the story, the Sasuke-Naruto friendship was not properly built up.

Sharingan became too story important.

Kaguya was okay in concept, but awful in execution.

Ninja war was pretty mediocre.

Edo tensei was a mistake.

Nothing went wrong except the ending

Sasuke should have won but kishi went for the draw cause shonen shit. Naruto's world failed as you can see in the new boruto manga which is drawn really badly

>Kaguya was okay in concept, but awful in execution.

ayys were behind everything is not a good concept for a manga about magic ninjas

...

>What went wrong?
Everything after the Pain arc.

I think you mean Sasuke Retrieval Arc.
> yes I transplanted both of my Rinnegan into Nagato, without him knowing, and even though he's not an Uchiha they don't constantly drain chakra, and I then managed to get myself back to the Gedou Mazou, while blind, and hook myself back up to talk to you.

>Sharingan became too story important.

I feel like this is somehow an understatement

>Kaguya was okay in concept, but awful in execution.

>Ninja war was pretty mediocre.

>Edo tensei was a mistake.

I honestly have no fucking idea why Kishi thought turning Naruto into a geopolitical thriller was a good idea.

Naruto was always about the 3 or 4 central characters and their relationships. It should've stayed focused within that small frame. Even if a war did break out of the conflict between the central characters it should never even appear in the manga. It should be a thing they talk about off-screen without getting directly involved in, 'cause it just dilutes the central thrust of the story.

nigga this shit ended like 2 years who even cares anymore?

but to answer the question:

>uchihas are important even though they are literally autism: the clan
you need to go through ptsd to unlock your abilities? the fuck?

>naruto is the lovable underdog except he was literally meant to be a god tier ninja since the very beginning
neji was literally right

>team 7 was together for like half a year and all of a sudden they need eachothers dicks
naruto really did all that shit for sasuke? why? why possible reason does sakura have for liking sasuke?

>JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP ARC aka the ninja war
kishimoto didnt have the balls to kill anyone important so why even care? ohohoho here's 8 pages worth of rocks and shit flying around thanks for the week long wait

>this entire poorly drawn sequel
I cant really blame him though. it's clear that he made those last 2-3 chapters the way they were for cash. what better way than throwing couples together, everyone having a kid, then making a 2nd shitty series that you dont even have to write yourself? i support athletes/writers/artists/performers leeching all they can from their retarded fans though so i can't say that i wouldnt do the same.

get that money, kishi. get that money.

>a lot a LOT of people thought Narusaku was going to be canon

Nope, a shit.

I mean yeah, you'd be a fool to not think that the girl that the MC wants to bang from the beginning won't somehow end up together with him by the end.
It just simply didn't happen this time.

>>naruto is the lovable underdog except he was literally meant to be a god tier ninja since the very beginning
>neji was literally right

didnt naruto break the hatred between those brothers reincarnated or something. i guess thats not destined

...

>didnt naruto break the hatred between those brothers reincarnated or something
He just got them to admit their homolust for each other

It went from being able to easily read and copy the opponent's moves to "lol i can shoot lasers and summon skeletons"

>you need to go through ptsd to unlock your abilities? the fuck?

I actually think that's an interesting concept. It's just seriously dumb to make that a sure way to get the Narutoverse equivalent of a nuke.

>naruto really did all that shit for sasuke? why? why possible reason does sakura have for liking sasuke?

The retcon flashbacks were an incredible excercise in hack writting. Naruto and Sasuke were NEVER best buds. Why couldn't we get a Batman/Superman type diccotomy? Let NAruto and Sasuke go their separate ways and deal with issues on their own and the story is told in parallel through the 2 main characters and their symmetrical paths and ideologies on how to behave and deal with the world and have their paths eventually converge and let the drama ensue as they but heads while not necessarily being enemies.

I will never understand people caring *that* much about fictional relationships about fictional characters. It's even worse than sports fans cheering for their favorite teams thinking that they accomplished anything.

It's not really a Naruto only thing because retarded tumblr users do that shit to basically every single tv show, but it seems weird especially where absolutely everything is one one writer/group of writers control.

>I actually think that's an interesting concept.
I agree but only if Kishimoto actually cared enough to explore the darker concepts of Naruto. I mean, these guys are literally child soldiers running around with magic powers.

>Naruto and Sasuke were NEVER best buds.
90% of naruto fans have this super corny view of their """friendship.""" fanfictions have seriously demented their brains. they have an awful friendship.

That time when she lied and said she loved naruto to his face, that was time for you Narusaku to drop that ship. It was so obvious after that they wouldnot be a thing.
It's your fault for not seeing the hints.

Reminder that there is now a confirmed entire world with other landmasses and continents, but odds are the entirety of Boruto will just focus on the same island as always

If you need a movie, retconned flashbacks, and an entirely new villain to make a pairing plausible it doesn't make you smarter for thinking that it's confirmation was inevitable.
