Naruto feels like a show that had a ton of potential if it stayed grounded to the original idea.
When they began to make it some bullshit doomsday nonsense is when it started to lose its appeal. The best parts of Naruto is when it focuses on teams of ninjas trying to help people, and ninjas growing with their powers and abilities. When it's at its worst is when it focuses on these ridiculously OP characters and fox power ups and stupid shit like that.
If they kept it reigned in I feel like it would have been a much better series.
You should watch it to the end lol The final boss is a ancient god or some shit
