I started watching Naruto in February 2020. It took me almost SIX years to watch all 500 episodes of Shippuden. The fillers were such a slog to get through which lead to me getting bored DURING THE FINAL BATTLE and deciding to take a break. That break turned into like three years when Crunchyroll was purchased by Sony and they put everything behind a premium paywall.
Fillers aside, I genuinely loved this show SO MUCH. I laughed and cried the whole way through. My favorite arc, like I assume many others, is Pain's Assault. Man. The show peaked right there with Naruto's development (in all areas! I feel like he grew the most physically, mentally, and emotionally here).
And geez, every time Naruto's parents were mentioned or involved, I got all weepy. I cried in episode 500 when Naruto asked That Question!!! Aaaa
I wish that Kishimoto took more time to equally dig into the emotions for the characters. The only cute flirty romance we got DIDN'T involve the main characters (it did however involve a couple of my favorites so at least I experienced SOMETHING).
Rating System
For many years I would rate my books, shows, movies, etc. completely on vibes alone, until I saw a rating system, below, created by aromanticduck on Tumblr. All my media reviews on Yogo Magpie will use it because it's incredible and simple to use. I won't specify if it's spicy or bland tho
| Nothing really wrong with it | A few things wrong with it | So many things wrong with it | |
| Lots of awesome things | 5 stars | 4 stars (spicy) | 3 stars (spicy) |
| A few awesome things | 4 stars (bland) | 3 stars (mild) | 2 stars (spicy) |
| Nothing really awesome | 3 stars (bland) | 2 stars (bland) | 1 star |
The idea is that you rate the thing on how much stuff you loved and how much stuff you hated, and those things weigh against each other. There's only one way to get 5 stars or 1 star, so those should end up as the rarest ratings, with 3 stars being the most common.
'Spicy' means that the thing inspires emotion, whether positive or negative, while 'bland' means it doesn't affect you much either way.
An example of a 3-star (spicy)—for me personally—would be the Twilight series, beacuse there's plenty of garbage in there but also some things that are like crack to me. I can't think of an example of a 3-star (bland) because by nature they don't stick in the mind.
(This also assumes giving 0 stars isn't allowed. That'd throw it out of whack...)
