These two are supposed to be the Citizen Kane of anime, everyone loves them, yet they are such fucking garbage, literal trash, why are they so fucking bad holy shit.
And I watched it when I was a kid and even then I HATED it, I had a friend who also watched DBZ and he hated it too, even we who were just two little dumbass kids could recognize how shit this cartoon was. And dont get me started on Super.
Naruto is just as bad if not worse, they somehow contradict their own message every god damn time, and have a little privileged retarded kid as the main character who was born with le epic god powers, and never works a day in his life to achieve anything, its all just handed to him

>>3202Nah he was born better than everyone elsr with OP powers that literally allow him to cheat at any battle.
No.3205
>>3200>never works a day in his life to achieve anythingOk, I won't argue that Naruto is born with special powers and that helps him out. But he does have moments where he works hard, like when he learns the Rasengan. And it's not like the show doesn't glorify hard work itself like with Rock Lee's storyline.
But you're myopic in thinking that Naruto's appeal is about the main character. It's about how cool the ~25-40 other ninjas are, their sick character design, their sick ninja abilities, and their ninja society. It's about imagining yourself as a ninja with cool powers who could join this world.
I'm just speaking as a person who grew up with Naruto so I have a nostalgic fondness for it, but I don't watch shounen anime anymore, although I do read the BNHA manga sometimes. I agree DBZ is garbage but I really love Dragonball, and that original manga is my favorite manga of all time.
There are probably a few shounen anime that are just as good or better, like BHNA, One Piece and FMA. What shounen anime do you think is better than Naruto, OP?
No.3206
>>3204No he wasn’t you fucking retard, have you ever even read Dragon Ball? Before Super Saiyan the Saiyans were some of the only aliens whose power set is more or less identical to humans save for the Great Ape form 95% of them couldn’t control and something Goku never had for all of DBZ. Even then, Super Saiyan was only achievable through training and discipline, the only form the Saiyans even have that has nothing to do with training is Super Saiyan God.
Goku is a working class hero that beats the shit out of princes, kings, landlords, and gods all the same without breaking a sweat.
No.3207
>>3205Jesus fuck, BHNA is classist garbage compared to Naruto, and its world is way less creative and in-depth, plus Deku is far more shallow and boring than Naruto. At least FMA is good.
You want good Jap shit then read Akira (huge part of the plot is a class war in Tokyo that the US and USSR gets involved in), Vinland Saga, Ghost in the Shell, Junji Ito, and especially BERSERK
No.3208
OP is a total faggot to be making such a butthurt thread over 2 anime that ended 5 years ago.
>I had a friend who also watched DBZ and he hated it too
DBZ has never been called a great anime on its own. Its famous because, like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure its an action Shonen that got popularity for how simple it was. Even its own fans know that things like power-levels and scream-fests are stupid, and that's the point. We know its stupid, we watch it to laugh and have fun with silly over-powered characters before moving on with our lives.
>Naruto
<contradict their own message
Stop watching Plague of Gripes videos without actually watching the actual anime or watching the arguments for them. Naruto does not contradict its own message and it also has multiple messages.
>a little privileged retarded kid
He is not priviledged. The retcon of the Uzumaki was made almost at the very end during the 4th War arc of Shippuden which is Part II. The 4th Hokage was hinted at being related but that doesn't give him anything at all sine no-one knows or acknowledges him for this.
>who was born with le epic god power
Oh look yet another newfag who never watched Naruto talking shit. At the beginning of the series Naruto was weak and he had no significant powers. His massive chakra was more of a liability than a help since, unlike an adult he didn't have the control that grows with chakra, instead having it near-instantly. He wasn't a great book-learner but he tried and put effort in, despite, like most children not wanting to do book learning.
Kyuubi Mode was achieved in the 4th war arc, and prior to that, any usage of the kyuubi chakra was either accidental and/or resulted in self-harm as well as being a non-factor. Orochimaru totally bodied Naruto in the Forest of Death despite the Kyuubi's chakra. Neji almost beat him.
Sage Mode? All training, hampered by the Kyuubi actually.
Honestly 90% of the fights in Naruto prior to the 4th War Arc put skill and technique over power… THIS is one of the messages of the series "even a Genin can kill a Kage"
Honestly Naruto-haters are far worse than any fans because while the latter can wank Naruto as "great" they do so out of positive feeling, while haters just wallow like pigs in their own dissatisfaction.
TL;DR: You're an idiot.
No.3209
>>3204>OP powersRight like…. like what? His ki-levels were high because his adoptive grandfather Gohan trained him prior to meeting Bulma and then Roshi.
>cheat any battleWhich is why he lost so many times? Which is why many wins are due to superior foes getting too cocky?
DBZ is shit but to say Goku is born better than everyone else is downright retarded considering that he was considered a really weak saiyan in the beginning and was rivalled for a long time by humans like Tien, Krillin and Yamcha. Sure, those days are past, that's now…. over 2 decades.
No.3210
>>3207I would definitely say that all of those shows you listed are decidedly not shounen animes. So I'm not sure what point you're trying to make comparing apples to oranges?
BNHA has some cool and unique ideas, some neat characters. And I like Deku because he's a crybaby nerd, which is not the usual protag personality. Maybe the show is a bit classist, but it's not nearly as classist as today's modern world/society.
No.3211
>>3208Addendum:
>retardedHe's not retarded either. The anime makes him out to be stupider than in the manga because "stupidity gags" and "explaining things to the audience" such as Chakra. In the anime he doesn't know and it is explained to 'him' which is really for the audience. In the Manga this never happens. It's rule of thumb that manga over-rules anime if the latter contradicts it.
Naruto does have trouble with book-learning… but he's not stupid. He comes up with unique plans (See pics related) and learns things others fail to. The Kage Bunshin is a forbidden jutsu that he learns within a few hours to the point of mastering it and augmenting his fighting like no others. We don't see any others his age use Kage Bunshin until well into Shippuden due to how hard it is to do.
The same goes for the Henge-no-jutsu and his variants, he uses it to full potential, unlike any other in the series. Including becoming a weapon, fusion and gender-bender, as well as pure energy
Naruto has used this jutsu to Fuse with Gamabunta, to become a Dog (fighting Kiba), a Weapon (Fuuma Shuriken against Zabuza), and the Rasenshuriken (Pure Chakra) and a woman (Naruko) as well as infiltrate and do information gathering (becoming Sasuke to talk to Sakura about her attitude to him and Sauce).
This is really creative for a "retard"
No.3212
>>3210> I like Deku because he's a crybaby nerd, which is not the usual protag personalityI honestly liked him at first but he got boring after a while because, the rest of the cast changed and he remained fairly flat. Bakugou is also a bad rip-off of Sasuke in many regards as well as a waste of character. he has the potential to be a villainous hero with his attitude towards other people who are weaker and his murderous intent. Honestly it's a waste, what with the diverse powers and characters like Stain and the recently defeated Yakuza. It's why I dropped the series outside of excerpts I like. The story stagnates in many areas and leaves many good ideas to die after presenting them. There are good parts but it just lacks the hook it had in the beginning.
Since I enjoy the occasional Cinnamon Roll protagonist I just switched to Mairimashita! Iruma-kun. It's really cheesy and silly, but I find it more enjoyable, since they don't leave loose-ends with their ideas and have the main character change noticeably throughout the story.
BNHA is classist, but this is left unaddressed and so less noticeable, compared to OPM which has an ever-developing theme about how heroes defend class-interest first usually.

Any hot takes like yours or people whining about power levels are of no concern.
If I could I would create a reeducation camp for people who watch DB religiously for the storytelling. It's always the gohan nerds who whine about muh plot and characters. Instead of appreciating the glorious poop humor.
I rewatched DBZ as an adult and it completely bored me until Majin Buu Saga when it became a lot more comedic.
I have only viewed DBS as an adult and I loved the silliness and humor. I'm sure the kids who watch DBS find it more exciting than funny. It is purely an age thing.
Regardless,
DB is basically Dr.Slump with more fights and less fourth wall breaks.
That is the only correct opinion.

The hard-working characters who continue to stand against all odds, the realistic jutsus and well-designed clothes, the whole and everything about the complex Naruto world provides fuel for much thought, and the deep character backgrounds, their dark past and emphasis on revenge, and overall greatness of the series make it fit just right with the refined taste of your average intellectual and his sense of disappointment towards the world’s dull, un-thought provoking choices in entertainment. Exactly the kind of material that brings the intelligent and well-educated together over critical discussion.
Naruto is basically THE series to attract the highest-tier fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to support the existence of threads discussing the subject, and make sure to give a friendly bump to all Naruto threads to make sure /a/’s elite continue to show their faces here.

Kenshiro is not a gary stu at all, you'd know that if you read the manga. He wasn't even the most talented of his masters students and he was nowhere near the strongest for a long while. He failed all the fucking time and the mad max world he lived in prevailed against him time and again.
Also if you think he was just a power fantasy then you don't actually know how or why he was created in the first place. His series was basically a concerted effort by Jump to counteract the actual power-fantasy, wish fulfillment harem / romcom shit that was basically 90% of successful shonen manga at the time.

>reason 1 generally shitty animation
Motion blur, cgi(especially bad in the Naruto franchise), re used sprite animations, 2 frame mouth speech, shitty vfx over actual animation and constantly re used backgrounds is a consistent and frequent phenomenon in these shows. This gets especially noticeable considering how drawn out most fights and conversations are in these shows as the animation staff spend hours upon hours simply reusing sprite gifs over actually animating what the characters are saying and drawing out ordinary fights for multiple episodes on end that these animation problems and on occasion animation errors(if you know what the guy vs guy sensei fight was in shuppuden you know what I mean) just constantly reveal themselves if your new to either show. I’m not even gonna talk about the art design of these worlds because some of the characters in these shows look so out of place and so fucking goofy in most scenes that it’s like watching an important cutscene in a video game showing your character wearing BDSM gear
>reason 2 these shows are too long
As mentioned earlier these shows and to a larger extent shines in general stretch out these franchises FAR TO FUCKING LONG. In real life Naruto shippuden doesn’t have 500 episodes worth of actual plot it has 100 or even less of you were to force every fight to a maximum of 5 minutes and every major conflict to a maximum of 1 episode and that’s just for fights don’t forget filler, conversations about nothing, flashbacks that never get developed in the story. As for bleach it’s the same tragic story, especially after the first 60 episodes when the filler and obvious stretching out of the plot starts getting really noticeable because the writer literally didn’t anticipate the show to last as long as it did nor be as long as it was before it got axed. I’ll give one peace a break for being as long as it is though because the writer actually has one really massive fucking world he built over decades unlike *ahem* dragon ball.
>reason 3 everything important is told through sound and not through animation
2d animation is medium that exists for expressing ideas that can’t be communicated with words. Genndy does communication with animation amazingly well in his shows like samurai jack and primal where the pacing makes sense for each episode and you get a sense of what’s going on without needing the characters ranting for dozens of minutes straight about whatever new tactics they’re thinking of. Bleach and Naruto spend so many fucking minutes explaining why you should give a shit about whatever the fuck the characters are feeling or what their new chakra soul power ultra who cares that it becomes mind numbing to the point where it feels like the studios behind these shows think their audience is literally too fucking stupid to be able to understand what’s going on with their own eyes. I liked sasori a lot, I liked sai, I liked yoruichi, but you know what I didn’t like, having some pink haired bitch, or a fucking ginger explaining their pasts to me when I could’ve had a solid episode or at least a few minutes away from the main characters communicating what these characters histories were and why their in the positions they’re all without needing a word spoken
<and finally the most important reason they treat the workers like garbage
Remember what I said about the animation of these shows being shit? I’ll talk more about that but think of this. If a frame of animation takes 30 seconds to produce and you need 24 frames per second than every minute of footage takes 43200 seconds to produce or 12 hours for a single animator under the assumption said animator is drawing 24 frames for every second, in real life you don’t do this because more frames don’t equate to smoother or even animation that better communicates ideas professionals have said this numerous times, this is especially true when producing episodes lasting for dozens of minutes with animation teams consisting of dozens working day in and out to produce what you watch, so what’s the deal? If animation is no where near as tricky nor expensive as it may appear why does it all look like shit you might ask dear reader.
Well the problem is how these shows are fundamentally being made. Imagine a room filled with dozens of isolated artists that are likely middle aged on drugs and exhausted all of the time that are under pressure to work on multiple different projects under strict deadlines that are then told that all of their work must be produced in a certain matter that minimizes production costs as much as possible, your seeing where this is going right? The problem isn’t that these shows can’t be good but rather the conditions these shows were made under prevent them from ever being above average for most of their run time, don’t forget evangelion 1995 was made on a limited budget and still has visibly better animation and 0 cgi compared to the rebuilds made by professional studios simply because the animators were allowed to do what they wanted, same goes for mob psycho which might aswell be the holy grail of sakuga animation. Naruto and bleach aren’t poorly produced animes because the staff behind it lacks skill and resources far from it but because they’re produced with profits in mind away from quality much like most mainstream animation made in states allied to NATO.

>shitty animation<Examples: Shit that nearly never happens >shitty vfx over actual animation<Look at dat CGI hurr, so vut if its a TV series on limited budget from 1999? Not to mention that Naruto's animation and art style are considered damn good for most of its run, especially in terms of fights and the hiding of CGI.
>on occasion animation errors<Oh look a brief small animation error of one of hundreds of small-fight and is delegated to the side-animators, that make it bad!!! >reusing sprite gifsThe actual fuck are you talking about? Stop using phrases you don't understand.
>drawing out ordinary fights for multiple episodes on end LMAO Bleach maybe, but you're conveniently ignoring that all fights have at least 2-5 minutes of interaction, and unlike One Piss don't have characters stand and stare at each other for minutes on end.
>the art design of these worlds because some of the characters in these shows look so out of place and so fucking goofy in most scenes that it’s like watching an important cutscene in a video game showing your character wearing BDSM gearNice exaggeration. I'm going to assume you're mostly talking about Bleach because they do have nutty designs, but even then you're making a mountain out of a molehill. If they'd been too conservative you'd be bitching about sameface.

>In real life Naruto shippuden doesn’t have 500 episodes worth of actual plot it has 100 or even less of you were to force every fight to a maximum of 5 minutes and every major conflict to a maximum of 1 episode<Hurr if you just cut out all the interactions and material that fleshes out the anime you can make it really short I'm not even talking about faggots like you bitching about "rushing things" if the show did squeeze everything into "muh 5 minutes and 1 episode". Funny that this exact shit has made most Shonen anime, especially battle shonen into bland, boring crap that resolves problems and themes in a couple episodes making shit meaningless and boring.
>Muh filler memes Get over yourself. People only bitched about filler because they didn't like that it didn't stick to the manga, nevermind that most filler occurred in the lulls of important arcs. (Bleach is worse in that regard). Many fillers are fairly good in Naruto excluding some single-episodes that are mostly inoffensive.
>conversations about nothingwhere? That's a problem of Slice of Life Moeshit. Yes Shonen anime can have characters state the obvious at times… because it's mostly a direct interpretation of the manga that doesn't have animated segments and has to
sometimes use exposition to carry across the internal thoughts of characters.

>>12194>Genndy does communication with animationnon-sequitur and I like that you ignore Genndy having jut as much exposition as any shonen. You can have both, idiot. Bleach does have this issue though, as half the cast is constantly making stoic "cool" faces in nearly every interaction.
>haracters ranting for dozens of minutes straight about whatever new tactics they’re thinking of.Yeah ok you're demonstrating that you haven't watched the show. The longest explanation of tactics I can recall in Naruto takes less than 5 minutes and is AFTER the tactics/plan is demonstrated in full.
>so many fucking minutes explaining why you should give a shit about whatever the fuck the characters are feelingLMAO are you retarded? Or do you no comprehend that anime is a visual-audio media, not pure visual, and that real life people… talk, people don't just rely on facial expressions to communicate
>what their new chakra soul power ultra They don't explain that though, you retard, it's literally the opposite of that since their increase in power is demonstrated and then internal or external exposition by characters enunciate and clarifies what happens, (pic 2 related).
>having some pink haired bitch explaining their pasts to me LMAO Sakura barely ever talks about her past or gets long moments at all. What are you on, must be some good dope if those are your delusions.
>all without needing a word spokenYeah no, You cannot tell a story like Gaara's pain and suffering and not have a word spoken, Moreover in Naruto it is literally a PLOT POINT that characters that connect can understand one another and not use words, but for the audience they speak in their minds, ergo the infamous "Narutoooo" "Sasukeeee" meme.
TL;DR: screaming "Muh words" and again massively exaggerating is pathetic and demonstrates your autism.

>>617 Disregarding this, the statement is also an utter nonsequitur as a criticism of shonen in general and Naruto in particular, if you didn't notice. I'd also point out that this overwork impacts the creators of the manga just as it does their underlings, thus Oda is sick all the time, Yamaguchi becoming ill and dying, and Hunter x Hunter and Bleach being on indefinite hiatus until recently.
