Is Naruto Really Worth It?

Truthfully, I'm massively not impressed with what I've seen so far of Naruto. And before anyone blames the dub, STFU. I'm talking about the show in it's entirety.

It's not exactly funny, and at some points, the 'comedy' is pretty stereotypical. Usually when I guess something that will happen, it happens. PLUS, I hear that the manga-ka who does Naruto kinda gets screwy at the end. Like, a character that can't use the ninja skills suddenly can or something.

So tell me, is Naruto truly worth watching? And don't give me crap 'bout the dub or the sub, just what's so damn appealing about the show?

its the story dude. Its just a good story, thats why the manga is popular. The comedy is more about characterization then to humour you. If your after something decent then naruto is perfect. But if you want something that will change your life or question your existence then your barking up the wrong tree.

It's pretty bland until the first villian shows up. I have no idea what episode that happens or how many they've aired so far... but it will get better. Keep in mind though that this show is aimed at 14 year olds.

Since Naruto gets so much praise, I bet some people watch it with way too high expectations, thus destroying joy factor expecting a grand hit... just see if you naturally like it, don't be prepossess from of all the hype, you may either end up enjoying it or not..

I hated evenangelion at first and wondered what all the hype was about.. and didn't like it too much for the first 7 eps. then it just started to build up.. and became one of my favorite series of all time. Don't base wether it's good or not from a few episodes, that's called close mindedness.. Later on in the series there's going to be a lot of new characters introduced with many interesting characteristics traits.. that's when a lot of the value in the series comes in.. I wonder if you saw the training episode yet, I thought it was the best dub so far.. anyway.. hope you enjoy it. Also if you want to know more wether it's worth it or not.. there are many reviews out there going into detail.. probably a lot better than what anyones going to give you here.

ok most people prefer the manga because it was something that interested them in genreal and then decided to watch it. It wasnt entirely true to the manga but does pretty good job of getting the points across i myself belive it is a bit over done but thats my opinion

I never really though of it as a comedy... maybe that's your problem?

It's not worth watching, more worth reading so you don't get that annoying high-pitched voice (sorry had to poke fun at the dub) and personally I think the manga is always better than the anime

yeah, in this case i found that the manga is much better than the anime
