Is Naruto hated or something?

Well, compared to berserk everything is shit. So naruto is too.

I haven't followed into Shippuden, I only really enjoyed it when they were young. I remember what people disliked about that series, and that's because there were many who preferred how the manga told the story. Then there was the constant flash backs, over-explanations of moves, many common anime clichés, and the massive amount of non stop filler episodes after episode 135, I think it was.

I told you, it's the Sharingan! Obito is redeemable because he only had one eeeeeeeeeeevil-chakra-producing-Sharingan eyeball at the time so he is only half evil! And later they will also befriend Madara as well because his Sharingan turned into Rinnegan and so it does not produce eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil chakra anymore, and thus he can be redeemed too! And then they redeem Sasuke too even though he has both eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil chakra producing eyes because... Kishimoto is a hack writer. It all makes perfect sense. [/sarcasm]

I remember when my best friend insisted that his characters had depth. I retorted that a character having been sad at some Point in the past does not equal depth.

Yeah, a terrible writer.

I'm increasingly convinced that both Kishimoto and Tite Kubo have grown tired of their respective series and are jut trying to pile on as many middle fingers to the audience as possible so that they can finally kill Naruto/Bleach and go write something else.

I'm told that the editor is forcing Kishimoto to keep Naruto going in order to earn more. The same thing happened with Dragon Ball. But Toriyama managed to keep Dragon Ball interesting despite that, so I still maintain my judgement of Kishimoto.

Well, I gave up on Naruto ages ago when it started turning into a generic, paint by numbers, monster of the week, Shonen beat-em-up. But the Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals anime shorts are quite funny and IMO closer to the original feel of Naruto than Naruto Shippuden, which is kinda sad.

But then my tastes are a bit odd, at the moment my favourite animes are Gintama and Nichijou.
