Why The Naruto Manga Is So Much Better Than The Anime

rewatched part 1 with my friends, there's like a 3 episode stretch during search for tsunade where nothing happens except rewatching the same flashbacks. And then at naruto vs sasuke, it takes 3 whole episodes to finish the uchiha clan backstory before they actually start fighting

[@goldenarmour7975]

ok but the uchiha backstory is like a whole book if you read it. I don't mind it taking 3 episodes in terms of consistency with the manga.

@@goldenarmour7975 The amount of backstory they get thru in those three episodes could easily be condensed to one episode

[@aouyiu]

Here's my hot take, I'm glad the shows are mostly canon/filler mix and filler stretches in-between. I didn't realize how important filler content _could_ be until I watched anime that had absolutely none of it. Filler may do nothing for the overarching plot, but if done correctly, adds to the world building and character development.

[@justaguylyingontheroad]

Overused flashbacks, unnecessary recaps and worst timing for fillers is what ruined naruto anime. Edited: what I meant by ruined is that it kinda ruined other people's impression of the anime, especially those who just started watching or a casual anime watcher. To a hardcore Naruto fan like me, it doesn't bother me much although I was slightly annoyed sometimes. I'm the kind of guy who watches all the fillers. No matter how miserable it is, I would still watch it cause sometimes the filler is fire. But to other people, this thing is what killed their interest from continue watching the series. I love Naruto anime. I read all the manga and novels, watching all episodes, movies and even the ova. It's my fav anime series and personally the best anime for me. I really hope studio pierrot learns the lesson considering how disastrous Boruto anime is and not repeating the same mistakes for the blue vortex.

WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Killed the ANIME?

[@e-davidi.7354]

@@caylinwithani To be honest, it’s only in the War arc that the fillers had bad timing, and I mean VERY BAD timing indeed. At a point, it just gets so annoying and would even make you forget where you stopped in the actual plot… assuming you don’t skip the fillers. For example, Sasuke and Naruto get killed, FILLER, Madara enters the 10 tails mode, FILLER, Guy enters the eight gates, FILLER, Guy attacks Madara and nearly dies until Naruto comes in to save him, FILLER, Naruto and Sasuke attack Madara with their new powers, FILLER. And here’s the worst part, after Madara finally puts everyone under Infinite Tsukuyomi and Sasuke saves Team 7 + Obito with his Susanoo, we get FILLER OVERLOAD with so many characters getting their own infinite tsukuyomi dreams (to be honest, TenTen’s dream episode and the arc about Naruto’s Alternate Universe where Minato and Kushina were still alive were actually funny and interesting). After this string of filler episodes that lasted throughout Op 18, we finally return to the actual plot where Madara says a speech about the Great Ninja wars, then gets betrayed by Black Zetsu and turns to Kaguya. And these aren’t even the worst examples of bad filler timing in the War Arc that ruin the tension and make the anime slowly become boring. I was so close to dropping the anime at the beginning of the war arc, where they kept introducing many dead characters like Asuma, some akatsuki members, previous Kages + many forgettable and boring characters. Up till now, I don’t even know which of those episodes were filler or not, just because of how bad the pacing was at the start of the War arc. The only thing that brought my interest back to the show after so many bad paced and boring episodes was Madara return… then even he became boring, lol, with his stupidly overpowered he was getting.

[@pokiblue5870]

[@calisthetics]

If they cut back on unnecessary flashbacks, then we're golden. I understand having flashbacks to recap us since the show aired weekly or to expand on lore. But having a flashback to a scene that happens earlier in the same episode is too much. Not to mention how characters would just stare for like 20 minutes.

[@jonatanp.1976]

I think that sometimes the One Piece anime has the same issue with the pacing, but it’s way more noticeable with Naruto, specially with the filler proportion

[@XLightspeed45]

And some OP Fanboys/Fangirls keep saying “One piece is better” for no reason.

[@jin4712]

The op pacing is far worse. If you skip the filler then Naruto’s pacing is still top tier

to be fair this is what comes with a long show that has to stay behind the manga you either have slower pacing overall like One Piece or far more filler like Naruto. So glad OP is getting a remake

[@didybopintitys]

@@foolishace3560 there are differences where I think the show improves certain aspects, and the fights are certainly one of them. One of my favorite examples is the Haku fight, even in the show (without flashbacks ofc) is over in the blink of an eye. So I was even more surprised it’s even shorter in the manga, and one of my favorite scene from Naruto in general is technically not even canon. The part where after Naruto punches Haku through the ice mirrors and it shows Naruto with the mirrors breaking behind him and his eyes lit up. Like that and the shikamaru interaction with his father after Asuma dies not being in the manga is crazy. So while it’s flawed over all and I don’t envy my younger self at all not knowing what good pacing or even filler meant back then, I still love the show.

[@lrmclinn]

Honestly for the best experience play the naruto sound track while reading the manga that's what i did and it was the best

[@FirstSynapse]

Yeah, I used to watch weekly videos on the early KZbin, showing the digitised manga. The youtuber I followed for this cropped into one or two panels at a time and added the soundtrack, sound effects, and dynamic transitions between panels. It was a pretty cool concept.

Rewatching Naruto Shippuden right now. If I see another flashback of Jiraiya explaining how there were only two times he came close to dying: first, when he got caught spying on Tsunade in the hot springs, and second, *pulls up his shirt*, when Naruto went 4-tail mode and slapped him, I'm going to go absolutely ballistic batshit crazy.

I’ve tried to watch some parts in the anime, but I’m stricken with how SLOOOOW it is 😭. It makes me realize how reading it is so much better because everyone has their own pace.

[@ScatteredCollector]

I was reading the manga throughout high school while it was ongoing. I literally stopped right watching the anime before the war arc as it was just too much. Plus I was collecting it at the same time (I have the full set) and felt the anime was inferior. Only anime-exclusive content I was watching were the movies.

[@yureiunbound8441]

Watching the show first time and back when it was being released, the flashbacks and recaps made sense. But now that we are able to binge them, woof they did it wayyyy too much. Some of the filler im ok with like Rock Lee vs the Sand Village's taijutsu user. But after i saw Road of Naruto, I started hoping for a HD remaster and to cut some filler and most flashbacks. Of course that aint easy since the soundtracks would have to be reedited and the episodes as well since. But still...would be cool.

to be fair and a lil pedantic, Pacing is also to some degree a difference in medium. With Manga, its up to you how much time you wanna spend soaking in each panel, unlike shots and scenes in Anime.

Hinata on the other hand appeared in chapter 39 and was part of the last impressive team ironically Kiba's team, Naruto forgot most of the time that she exist because she barely appeared in the story, Kishimoto gave her since her first appearance a relative unimportant role. While in the anime Hinata appeared in episode 1, you see the difference ? You see how fillers can change the direction of the story ? Hinata was clearly meant to be a side character with an unrequited crush but she became a victim of her own popularity and got shoehorned into a position she was never meant to be in due to fillers.

@user-wm2py3wo1i I was lazy because I'm at work I meant hinata got benefits and sakura was biased victim, I also noticed that too when I read it

Naruto anime is good at pacing only thing that makes it feel slow is its filler other wise its just 428 eipdode combined which didn't made me bore once also didn't felt slow paced at all and story was somtimes so fast i felt it should be slow for e.g like i didn't even know how i finished from sasuke recuruting his team mates too kill itachi to pain distroying the village and sasuke joining akatsuki and naruto becoming hero of yhe village i finished all of this in 2 day ig and i didn't even got bored at once not felt slow paced compared to one piece

I dont watch Naruto because I hated the intro pacing. He's crying about his dead parents all the time but he never met his parents so he doesnt know what he's missing because he never experienced it.

[@LuckyDaVinci]

Yeah the pacing in great in the manga
