(CONTAIN SPOILERS)

Naruto undoubtedly marked the childhood of many people and in my case I was growing along with the character.

Despite liking the series a lot, it's impossible not to talk about its negative points. Naruto has had problems since the classic, from my point of view Shippuden is where things get even worse.

Naruto was a work that always provided me with incredible moments, I think Jiraya's death was one of the things that made me very shaken and sad. The fight between Jiraya and Pain in the rain village is something unforgettable, the level of this episode is magnificent.

•Characters

Naruto has always had great characters, I always focus fearfully when I want to watch anime with a gigantic cast and that many will not have a pleasant development. Naruto himself is a charismatic character, I think it's impossible for you not to like the character right from the start. All the development he's had during the series is really good.

Sakura is a character that most people called her useless and that didn't add anything to the story at all, but I think in Shippuden she is her apex, I mean... she had a good development and not to mention that at the beginning of Shippuden she had a frantic fight with Sasori who was a sensational villain and not to mention the others they had throughout the series.

Kakashi has always been one of my favorite characters in the series, for me he always gave the feeling of being something more than a simple Sensei to Naruto, most of the time I always saw him as a real Father to Naruto. To this day I am ecstatic over the fight he had with Pain during Akatsuki's invasion of Konoha. This fight between the two is one of the best things that happened on the show, not only that but there were other good times between him and Guy and all the rivalry that existed between them.

I may be talking nonsense, but for me Sasuke's apex was in classic Naruto and Shippuden the character was always one of the few I liked to see in action.

•Soundtrack

Naruto always had great osts since the classic Naruto, but the apex is in Shippuden which has wonderful openings and endings. Blue Bird is definitely one of the best things I've ever heard.

•Animation

Well, when we talk about animation Naruto was always an anime that had a lot of fights and I think it was quite difficult to keep the animation at a very good pace, the series had a lot of ups and downs and we can even mention the fight between Naruto and Pain where we can see that they had a lot of weird frames.

Naruto Shippuden could have become one of the best shounens ever made, I think at a certain point Kishimoto completely lost track of the story. I think everyone was quite frustrated with the Fourth Ninja War, the problem is that the series had a lot of completely useless fillers that were placed in moments that didn't make much sense to be there and that's one of the points that broke the rhythm of the series. I think that until today I still haven't got over Neji's pathetic death, we can't forget that the plot that involves the whole series could have been much better developed.
