Efinate

This is one of the first anime i watched and it could have been my favourite too but there are too many flaws.

The characters

The female cast is quite trash and badly written except one but the some of the male cast are absolute masterpiece but the author did many of them dirty by making them indirectly useless and irrelevant to the story after sometime. Many characters are just unrealistic and unnecessary the good written characters i found were-

KAKASHI HATAKE (who is quite unrealistic but he is a good written character and is the character who the public would definitely adore due to his cool aura that surrounds and the ability to keep calm and make anything seem good or cool)

SASUKE UCHIHA( i really liked his character when i first watched naruto it had only been a month that i had started watching anime and i found him annoying and bad just like everyone else but after re-watching Naruto again just 2 weeks ago i realised he is one of the best written characters in anime and is quite misunderstood too. His character is quite realistic and he has very sad and good backstory and the saying revenge makes people blind absolutely suits him the author did a good job writing him and portraying his emotions before i didn't realised he is a good written character is because i hadn't thought about his side of story from his perspective and i can definitely say that he is the best written character in naruto the only downside of his character was that he changed his mind in the emd and he didn't had a good goal after half the war.)

OBITO UCHIHA (he is a good written character and has a good character development with an amazing backstory too or the best backstory in Naruto but his motivation is quite weak and unrealistic he is a good written character but there are some major flaws in his character but I won't write that here as it contains some spoilers)

MADARA UCHIHA (this is your typical cool boss who planned everything from the start and who the public treats like a god i can see why everyone likes him and i too can agree that he is the most badass character in naruto and I won't really write about him because u should experience his character in the anime urself).

Many other characters like-

NARUTO UZUMAKI(he is an ok written character he is like ur typical shounen protagonist and has a very unrealistic character he is the most famous character in the series because of his backstory which i found was ok and i was very confused about his intelligence like sometimes it would seem like he is absolutely dumb but sometimes it would seem like he is quite intelligent and i found this a very bad move by the author and his forgiving nature has ruined some important moments in the show too and one thing i wanted to clear about his character was that he isn't ur typical hardworking protagonist but I can't seem to understand people who say that he worked his way up and got powerful because he worked hard as that is entirely wrong because he is powerful only because of his luck and other people)

ROCK LEE(he is the character who was defined by hardwork in the og naruto but in shippuden this guy didn't get any screentime and was totally unnecessary in shippuden along with some more of the konoha og characters. The term 'wasted potential' is absolutely perfect for him as it really shows how he could have been a cold side character but was absolutely ruined by the story and the author)

SHIKAMARU NARA(This guy could have been so good if he had more screentime and was stronger his arc is quite amazing and the tactics he comes up with are absolutely amazing the only downside to his character are him being weak and having less screentime)

TSUNADE (The only good female character i found in the entire series she is quite good written and has a good and sad backstory but her being hokage with gambling addiction and being alcoholic ruined her character yeah it was good for comedic purposes but if she didn't had those things she could been much better)

SHINO ABURAME(this guys could have been so good and one of the coldest side characters in the entire series but he is quite forgettable and the amount of screentime he has is very low too and because of that i forgot what i wanted to write about him)

Unnecessary or useless character i found were-

SAKURA HARUNO(yeah call me a hater or whatever u like but it is a fact that she is a very bad written character in the show. Her being in love with a guy who rejected her way too many times and who tried to kill her is just unrealistic and annoying Her entire character is about being in love with a guy and hating on the other guys who like her and sometimes when they showed us that she is trying to improve her abilities and doesn't want to be useless are just futile attempts and the author really did her dirty)

CHOJI AKiMICHI(just like rock lee he was a good character in the og naruto but in shippuden he became useless he did have some relevance to the story but his character was completely ruined and was shit in shippuden)

KIBA INUZUKA(bruuh like wtf was the point of this character 😹😹 bro is an absolute joke in the entire series and is useless than sakura if he didn't had the strong sense of smell bro daydreams about being the hokage and trash talks others for having the same dream without realising that he himself is quite trash)

Most of the female cast like tenten,ino,karin and many more are just very bad.

And these are the characters i felt writing about.

I would have given the characters a 4 out of 10 but because of sasuke, Kakashi and obito i will leave the score at 6

Story

The story of shippuden is quite average and has a writing and there are some flaws like some cliches but the main problem with the show was that the people who are committing crimes for years would become good because the protagonist talked to them like bruuh u r telling me that the villians only needed someone to talk to??😑😑 This is the main and the major flaw about the story but the rest is ok except the fillers in between which u can skip.

Animation

The animation is ok but sometimes it absolute trash👎. The pain arc was ruined by the animation and the animation could have been better considering naruto has more budget than other anime which have better animation than this.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack is the best thing about the show and i absolutely love it. The music is good and relaxing and if u can understand the lyrics it's even better.

Conclusion

The show deserves the spot in the big 3 but there are many flaws in it but that couldn't be overlooked tbh. It isn't really the best show out there but it is worth the time. The fandom of this absolute trash like they trash good characters and makes the same old jokes again and again and according to them this is the best show of all time but it is not i bet they probably haven't even watched any other good shows too.
