Why do Naruto fans hate their own anime so much? OP and Bleach fans have so much affection for their anime but all I see here are complaints and ” plot holes ” which are things they didn’t pay attention to or it just didn’t go how they wanted it to

I have this cover as a resin. It’s my holy grail piece. (I just posted it to this community, take a look!)

Right you get downvoted to hell in those subreddits for a slight criticism especially bleach but here you get upvoted for a criticism that is actually wrong

I think I now why.

So Naruto, One Piece and Bleach are incontestable the most mainstream anime, but there this weird phenomenon with Naruto, it became even more main-stream than it was before. Like, tiktok is full of Naruto. There’s a lot of instagram reels with Naruto. I’ve never seen so much contect on these platforms for One-Piece and Bleach.

That creates a very weird type of audience, meaning those people who never watched the anime or read the manga, they only know it from 30 second videos on instagram and tiktok and ocasionally from some youtubers they follow.

Which means they have no idea what the story is lmao, hence they say it’s “plothole” because they 1) don’t agree with the decisions a character made, 2)don’t understand what the point of an even was, 3)staight up don’t know what they’re talking about.

​

TLDR: Naruto fans don’t actually read/watch Naruto.

​

LE: Also, Naruto got Boruto, which everybody and their mother hates.

The Naruto subs are like an echo chamber where people parrot the same criticism 24/7 as if it made them feel like they belong.

That’s a big generalization for the 1,000,000+ subs here, maybe consider walking that statement back to a question.

The majority like it, many love it. Just like anywhere else on the internet with a lot of exposure, controversy sells so you’ll see plenty of hot takes.

Look deeper though and you’ll see most people fondly remember parts of this show constantly. It’s also not bad to point out flaws in a show you like, for the purposes of discussion and it seems pretty logical for such a popular show to attract an array of opinions.

I’ve said this before. Naruto deserves a way better fanbase.

I love every bit of it

I didn’t dislike any of part 1 or shippuden when I first watched so I was super surprised when I found out a lot of people criticized the show so much

This sub makes me physically cringe so much and a lot of it comes from this. The sheer lack of reading comprehension and understanding of the story that enables then to feel involved or relevant is so wild. Then they turn rabid and condescending when they cant understand they’re wrong. I imagine it’s mostly 10 year old here

It’s because Naruto is a lot of people’s first anime and they never understood OG Naruto so when they watch Shippuden they nitpick it. It’s not as though Naruto is extremely complex that you have to be smart to understand it you just have to pay attention to what Kishimoto wanted to say

The anime for all 3 aren’t very good, especially One Piece’s. You can skip a lot of the filler for Naruto and Bleach, but for One Piece they pad out the episodes in a way making it very difficult to skip.

You are allowed to dislike parts of something you love and also wish it did something else. Naruto has issues. It’s talked about. But so is what people love too.

It’s both here and talked about. I see equals amount of praise, fair critiscm, and like you said, unfair or misunderstood criticism where folks got something wrong.

It’s most probably people who read / watched Naruto recently rather than people who grew up watching it. Same thing with Dragon Ball.

These kind of people wonder why others love something so much and try to find as many bad things about it as possible. Mine is not liking Orihime not for the same reasons a lot of people do

its the new age of anime fans that try and act like critics so as to seem different from the others,i have seen people dickride boruto and shit on naruto just to be different from the fanbase and point out insignificant points to help their agenda.this is not exclusively to the naruto sub but all anime.and op fans always call out oda if he drops out unecessary bullshit and will rant for it for long eg wano opened wounds that still havent healed for people,dont know about bleach though

i don’t get it either. everyone wants to nit pick on the stupid small things, they forget to realize the overall amazing story presented. no story is perfect to the end. of course there’s going to be some inconsistencies in a 700 chapter story.

Because as a clever tiktoker put it a couple days ago, they misunderstood part 1 as kids, and carried those misunderstandings while watching part 2.

This is a good thing, though? Don’t get me wrong i agree that most criticisms miss the point but do you see the cringe other fanbases say like One Piece and HxH? They legitimately think these works are god-given masterpieces.

This is just something I noticed in my country, I don’t know if this is true for others as well. A few years ago, anime was looked down on as something for kids or weirdos, but recently it has changed and anime has become very popular here. Naruto and DBZ were the of the first anime to break through this barrier. What does this have to do with the question? Well… this new generation of people who watched naruto don’t take anime too seriously yet, so they don’t pay much attention to the plot or anything really, I know people who only watched naruto because it became “cool” to do so. It became so popular that people lie about having watched it, which is insane, these are the people who watch naruto on tiktok.

Well, one reason is that the Naruto fanbase is illiterate as hell.

Feels like half actually thinks that Sakura was serious about her “love” confession to Naruto and they write that off as a bad writing on Kishimoto’s part.
