Actually Matt, at the point you tapped out you wouldn't have even seen the guy doing the whole Moon thing. YOU probably thought the final boss was the Akatsuki leader but no! The Akatsuki leader's plan, which he enacts from his position in City of Lost Children, is that he's a lost apprentice of The Boss and has decided that The Boss' will to him/prophecy about him was to become a saviour and enforce world peace through the threat of nuclear annihilation (also killing The Boss).

But it's not him, and it's not the moon guy either. Instead it's a legendary dead guy who the moon guy was pretending to be, who through various means ressurects himself and becomes god.

BUT IT'S NOT HIM EITHER, because that guy triumphs only to get Backstaged in the last 12 chapters by a loving Space Alien (also a tar monster that lives in the alien's armpit).

There are more space aliens in the two canon films.

Thus was Naruto, the manga about ninjas. And wizards.

And like the best aliens, it bursts out of his chest without warning, just instantly kills him and picks up the reins in a single page.

It was worth reading the one-shot with Naruto's daughter that came after though, where Naruto misses his own coronation as Hokage when his daughter does an ancient ninja sealing technique head-first into his balls.

Just to be clear literally none of this is a joke.

I actually genuinely like what Naruto does with 'ninja', I like that they kinda take the whole idea that ninjas are mystical and weird and go balls out with "YEA gently caress IT HERE'S A NINJA THAT TURNS TO BUGS AND HERE'S A NINJA WHO PUT EYES IN HIS ARM FOR POWER AND HERE'S A loving ALIEN LADY WITH HORNS WHO'S A NINJA" and it kinda...works? Like it's not the greatest anime ever but I genuinely think if it wasn't so terribly dubbed and terribly full of some of the most filler-est filler to ever be filled it'd have a better rep than it does.

Also yea the Naruto's daughter one shot is great because Naruto's daughter is 1000x better than Boruto ever will be. She's a beast mode kid who had to be calmed down from literally wanting to murder her brother for breaking one of her toys, to the point where she used her magic eye poo poo to find him and Naruto had to come take the death blow for him to keep him from getting murdered by his little sister.

gently caress Boruto where's the Himawari movie

Well my point was it was good as a concept, just the anime being bogged down in filler and lack of effort hosed it up. I think Naruto the manga is super solid

Indeed if the execution had been better, people could have enjoyed Naruto. The same can be said about One Piece but that's what happens when you ask to make x pages of manga under threat of execution and have no way to back down and end up forced to draw poo poo out for thirty chapters. And then another 200 once you've finished doing their wake up routine and actually begin the missions!

I'm going to leave you two to think on how One Piece compares to Naruto when the discussion was how Naruto could've been great if it wasn't for all the filler.

I'm sure you'll both be able to suss out the answer.

Everything up to and including that Kaiju battle between a sand monster and that sick rear end Yakuza boss Frog was pretty great.

Frogs are cool, and Naruto has a really strong frog game.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
It was a pretty good podcast up 'till that point, some good laughs and sensible chuckles all around but reaching Maddentown made me do a spittake at a fast food joint, stellar stuff, I think this podcast might be my Big Favorite.

Also my opinion on Naruto is that the last six to eight years of the manga were pretty garbage, the anime is unsalvageable and that Naruto has been on a stark improvement ever since Naruto ended.
