If you have please give me specifics. I challenge you to. Maybe you watched like the first 3 episodes or some fillers, but the storyline can not be compared to anything else out there because it is just THAT good. I know people are entitled to their own opinions and to say you don't like Naruto for your own reasons is fine. But to say the storyline is predictable is just ignorant and stupid. Like Cloudane said, it is popular because of its greatness. It is the very reason why a series becomes so popular. So predictable? Cliche? Don't think so buddy but good try. Just keep on watching DB.
Wow, for someone who claims to be 21, you argue like a child.

First of all, read before you smurfing rant. I said the characters were clichéd, not the story. I said the story was predictable and boring.

As for the characters, there's the stereotypical Naruto, the overconfident loudmouth character who has great aspirations despite lack of apparent skill. Then there's Sasuke, the typical angry character because he has a chip on his shoulder. Then there's Sakura, whose name is a cliché in and of itself, personality aside. Rock Lee-- typical screw-up with impossible standards for himself. And so on and so forth.

Second of all, where the hell IS the storyline? A good percentage of the series is filler. And what I suppose I saw of the storyline was dull and predictable.

And sorry, the reason it became so popular because it's violent yet kid-friendly enough to be shown during the times children are most likely to watch it. And it's generally the battle scenes that draw them to it. This is because-- like sex, violence sells as well, despite an uninteresting story and lack of interesting characters.

Please don't call me ignorant until you get your facts straight. And by the way, I don't watch DB either, but it's the only series within the series that doesn't suck so bad that it's impossible to watch.

I'm done posting here and I'm not going to post again. I suggest you do the same so this thread can go back on topic.
Please forgive me in advance for this post, Mercen.

So I argue like a child because I called you ignorant? It just doesn't make sense to me how it could be so predictable when it is something that has never before been seen. There are no stories that could even vaguely be compared with Naruto. It is interesting, exciting, and keeps you on your toes.

Your second argument is false. There are MANY, MANY anime that are much more violent than Naruto and at the same time kid-friendly. Yet, these don't even come close to the popularity of Naruto. Naruto is popular because it is VERY GOOD. People generally like things that are VERY GOOD. I don't know why it is so hard for you to understand this. It seems very obvious to me.

And I don't claim to be 21. I am 21. I don't know how old you are nor do I care. I don't plan to try to insult you based on your age. But the lack of intelligence you are showing is insulting to me and everyone here. My intention was not to turn this into something like this. You might have misinterpreted what I said. I didn't insult you, I said that what you had said was ignorant.

I'm not going to try to convince you to like Naruto. But if you outright say something is bad when many other people like it, you should also expect answers like this. Like you had said keep in mind the majority of people here are nerds who also like anime, and in turn Naruto. If you wish, people take your own advice and watch your words. Of course, you don't have to and that's the beauty of free speech. Cheers.

BTW I apologize to everyone for all this, and I will refrain from commeting about Naruto in this thread from now on.
