Do you just not like shonen? Naruto, especially Shippuden, is great in my opinion. It has highs and lows and plenty of brutal filler, but also some of the most iconic fights in anime history and was hugely influential on the modern shonen genre.

As a shonen, Naruto is one of the more complex shows, actually, especially Shippuden. Things are thought of way ahead of time… and I mean like, a decade or more ahead of time, and it isn’t too long, either, especially without the filler. The action scenes get a good bit of budget, are directed well and have great choreography. The world has great rules regarding the entire chakra system it revolves around, and it rarely ever breaks them, but builds on them over time.
I do have my criticisms.
- Kishimoto can’t fucking write women. They’re either drunken and belligerent or silent, quiet and offscreen. Yeah, we got a few Sakura fights, and Ino helps, occasionally, but really, this is a dude-bro show about dude-bro shit.
- Catfishing the final boss. I won’t spoil it, but… fucking hell.
- I would say some of the horny jokes date it, but, I mean, Fire Force exists, so. I don’t even.
- The art falls apart occasionally. This is the only show I know of where the art is as good as it is terrible, and it can easily be extremes of both.
Towards the end, without any vague holes to dump plot mysteries into, things start to fall apart a little bit, but with how distant the power ceiling is kept most of the time, this just means that things can go from ~4 to 11 in ramping stages that keep you on your toes throughout the entire final arc. Naruto doesn’t get Goku-levels of strength until you’re about 7/8 of the way through the series.
A better alternative to Naruto, and also what I’d call the best shonen series ever created is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It’s complex, it’s tight, it’s compelling, the rules are strict and easy to understand and the dynamics between characters just work. It’s also a lot less of a time commitment.

I find the Manga to be fairly decent. The anime has way too much filler nonsense. I guess I am not mentally ill enough to enjoy that.

Just delete the fully filler episodes and enjoy

Vanity paper, author just wanted to go on about Naruto and their dissertation topic. Any media franchise would work and the paper could be written in a more generalized manner as a result that would probably be more helpful instead of some weebs gushing about an (overrated) franchise
Case in point: in the works cited there is another paper from the author about how Naruto helped them understand CMT better from 2 year prior to this publication. Just a weeb shoehorning that shit in. At least shoehorn in the superior stereotypical shonen (dbz)

Shounen, just like any good young adult fiction, is a morality play. Good life lessons about friendship and overcoming adversity…but it is not a substitute for personal growth. You gotta take those lessons and synthesize them.

It’s that people have forgotten to rickroll. It’s almost a lost tradition at this point, so I’m surprised there are still people who expect it. Which means it the perfect time to revive the tradition is right around the corner!

Big problem with rickrolling in this day and age is that half the sites have video previews. Even texting has it now

Why not? Do you think it doesn’t work in 4K?

Ah yes, Naruto, the 'be born special or suck shit forever" anime. The perfect encapsulation of our time that will surely lift the spirit of the masses!
And before you come at me with Rock Lee. What happened to him, huh? Where did all his hard work lead? Do tell me.

My guy, you just need to watch it again, bro, Rock Lee, bro, what about Rock Lee my guy? Anyone can be a ninja with mystical powers, dude, even if you don’t actually have mystical powers. You just need to have superhuman strength and speed to make up for it and you can be a ninja, bro. You just need to be able to run faster than light, bro. It’s easy, my guy.

Hey now, if you’re not born strong you could always steal the DNA of the strongest guy and do evil scientist stuff with it. Because talent is in the DNA :Orochimaru: :calipers: :Hashirama:

The article seems to actually be about how media like anime can be used as a tool to help therapy patients break through mental barriers to treatment by helping normalize or explain concepts that might be unfamiliar to them. Unless I’m misunderstanding?
