Fun fact: the HXH manga came out before the Naruto manga. Naruto's managaka took lots of ideas from HxH's mangaka. HxH's mangaka also created Yu Yu Hakusho before and Naruto's mangaka also took lots of ideas from there. The Chuunin Exams for example are based on the Genkai Test from Yu Yu Hakusho. Which Togashi (HxH's mangaka) also influenced his own Hunter Exams with in HxH. Then Kishimoto (Naruto's mangaka) did the Chuunin Exams in Naruto. Things like Sasuke's and Naruto's relationship are also based on Gon and Killua. Also fun fact: the Rock Lee character is not alone based on Bruce Lee, but also based on Zushi from HxH. Who was featured in the HxH manga before Rock Lee was featured in the Naruto manga. Both characters were also introduced in the same way. Both characters have thick eyebrows and rely on hardwork over talent. Both characters also come into the story and want to use a "secret technique" and both got stopped by their mentors from using it. Little details like that makes it clear how much Kishimoto drew inspiration fron Togashi. Also fun fact: Togashi used the Kurama myth first in HxH. One of the YYH main characters is Kurama, a reborn demon fox, taken the shape of a human. In HxH you have a technique called Zetsu which hides your aura. Naruto has a character named Zetsu who lies hidden. Togashi did a "dont feed" gag with Tonpa in the Hunter Exams. Exactly like the one Kakashi did with Naruto when they did their bell test. Kakashi's bell test is also clearly influenced by Netero's ball test. More similarities: Hisoka pops up as the scary main antagonist in the forests of the Hunter Exams. Orochimaru did the same in the Chuunin Exams. To be clear. I'm not saying Naruto is a copy. I'm saying there's inspirations from YYH and HxH in Naruto. HxH and YYH also have JoJo's inspirations for example. Every author gives nods to their favourite mangas. However in Narutos case it always stood out to me while HxH and YYH have executed it better imo.

Naruto is a way of life. It stopped being a regular anime a long time ago.

Every OG loves the Shounens, nothing wrong with that. My favorites are also shounens

how do people not choose one piece as their best anime ( if they have watched it ) is unbelievable 🙂

[@LingDingBing]

the pacing is awful and the characters have no depth lol

[@sanjaynambisan2538]

@@LingDingBing that’s literally not true the characters do have depth they don’t have to be guts to have depth it’s simple yet very effective character development and gokus whole point in the story is the be the influential figure that chances other ppl and the world around him for the better. Also u talk about but it’s paced far better than Naruto one piece bleach mha recently and other shonen. It’s not the greatest anime but it still holds up rlly well

[@LingDingBing]

@@sanjaynambisan2538 the characters are incredibly one-dimensional and yea of course the pacing is horrible, fights go on for 10s of episodes with just the same screaming repeated over and over. Also theres so much better anime than those shonen, theyre not even the best shonen anime for one. Hunter x hunter and aot are way better than them, theyre not even in the same league. Naruto, bleach, dbz and mha are like 7 out of 10's, hunter hunter and aot are easily 9 or 10 out of 10's

[@sanjaynambisan2538]

@@LingDingBing I mean the characters rnt one dimensional so many characters from roshi and krillin in db to vegeta in z and there r many characters I haven’t even mentioned who have developed that’s very lazy analysis to say they don’t develop. Also there’s a reason why fights like goku vs piccolo jr or goku vs vegeta or vegeta vs 18 and many other fights r iconic. If they were shit they wouldn’t be remembered fondly ur just cos u don’t like it don’t mean it’s shit or anything near that. Also it’s much older than the other shows so the animations can’t be as good as the others yet it still looks consistently better than the likes of Naruto that came out way after. I agree shows like hxh r better but db has better pacing than the big 3 and other popular shonen and it has extremely memorable characters
