Naruto blood prison opening scene series#
Though initially the series appears to focus more on Naruto himself, attention soon shifts more towards the bigger picture and the introduction of the show’s main villain – Orochimaru. Nevertheless, despite following this conventional recipe, I still found the plot wholly gripping. Group of friends whose bonds are stronger than any foe – check. Said character rapidly improves and becomes more powerful with each passing mission – check. Lively, young male lead protagonist with an unusually strong power – check. Instead it joins a plethora of other similar shows and happily falls back on a box-ticking exercise. No matter how I look at it, Naruto doesn’t attempt to push the boundaries of the shounen genre all that much. The show follows him in the early stages of his career and the deadly foes that not only pose a threat to Konoha, but also to himself and the entire ninja world. Shortly after he was born, the powerful nine-tailed demon fox was sealed inside him and, as the host of this monster, Naruto has spent his life as the village outcast. Twelve year-old shinobi-in-training, Naruto Uzumaki, lives in the hidden ninja village of Konoha. With all the extensive publicity, fanboyism and build-up surrounding the series, I had foolishly come to anticipate that Naruto would be different however, as I soon came to discover, I was wrong. Consisting of dizzying highs of compelling fights followed by the bitterly crushing disappointment of tedious filler, the genre in itself becomes a love/hate affair. Until the time skip and make up an ending.I’m not ashamed to admit that I adore shounen anime, but it's a rocky romance. To anyone who has somehow missed out on the whole craze, just read I could talk about how fights become stupid, interesting threadsĪnd characters are thrown away, and such, but that would just make meĪngry over how much better everything could've been. Over 300 chapters of story for me to realize the pacing had become Once it gets to that point, reading Naruto just feels more like aĬhore than anything else. Soon, the plot almost entirely revolves around Naruto doing anythingĪnd everything to bring the little punk Sasuke back home.Įverything revolves around those two specific people and everyone I began to realize what I was reading transformed into a beast. Movies have been doing that for decades now.īut slowly, over a great period of time, something fell over me as Supporting characters, I thought many of the beginning villains wereĪ right blend of creepy and tragic, I just don't know what happened.Īs a person who once grew up with both Dragonball series, I had aĭeep understanding of shounen inner workings and didn't mind that IĮnjoyed feeling Naruto's plight, I loved the ensemble of main and I liked reading all of the beginning chapters, I really did. Just been coming back to Naruto over and over hoping things will getīetter, but it just keeps hurting and tormenting me.
I'm just not a fan of stories that set up heavy themes.and then just shy away from them. Your friends will just pull strings for you to get you out of trouble. It's so much harder to regain someone's trust after you've lost, unless you live in the world of Naruto. It's all fine and dandy to believe in someone, even after such a thing has happened.but at a certain point it is destructive and unhealthy, and I'm left wondering if you're living in la-la land. LOLWE'REFRIENDSAGAIN! I hardly bought it. Redemption (one of the most difficult things a person has to do after they betray their friends, in my opinion) is rushed. The whole war just had so many random, silly things thrown in it was hard to me to take it seriously.Īnything that has been built upon, forget it. I would rather have seen the village develop as a more close-knit group after the character's betrayal, and watch as our main characters cope with the fact that life is not fair (bloody hell, they live in a SHINOBI world).Įarly story arc were actually interesting, but once you get to this last arc (the war arc), things trail. Th story focuses so much on bringing one character back, that other characters suffer for it.
This is a world of ninja's.there are GOING to be dark themes associated with such a thing. Now that it is here, I can safety and without a doubt state that the manga is not worth it.ĭarker themes are brushed aside, as the ending we get is the Happily Ever After (yawn!). I've had to reserve judgement until the final ending came out.
