    I think egotistical mangakas who helm popular series just hear all about different theories and to pretend they have some integrity go out of there way to be "original" so they always end up hitting to far left field.

      The powerlevel wank in Naruto was perfect for a good long while, it's why so many people view the Pain arc as the height of the series..It stays pretty balanced for that transitional period from 5kage summit and Sasuke killing Danzo, the ninja battle still felt pretty ninja battle-ish. Even the early parts of the war arc were still pretty good about that kind of thing, but once you start nearing the middle parts of the war arc shit just starts hitting the fan and flinging all over the place when it comes to powers

    they still formulate plans and use diverse parts of their arsenal to overcome their opponents. anything having to do with the ten tails was complete bullshit though.
    To be fair, from the chunnin exams we already saw gigantic toads and tailed beasts and kage fighters being brought back from the dead and then the entire fight between the 3 sannin (all three of which were heavily handicapped) was way beyond what we saw in the tailed beast vs gambunta battle. the show was very good at distinguishing between op magic battles and tactical grounded combat, often the best fights in the show would have both like pain vs naruto or deidara vs sasuke

    i sincerely believe the series would've ended with the Madara fight if not for Shonen Jump leaning on Kishimoto to include sequel bait so they could keep milking the IP. i think everything about Kaguya and the Otsutsuki was thrown together in the final hour for reasons outside the authors control, and for that reason i handwave the ending and don't consider Boruto canon. it's a shame Kishi wasn't allowed to simply end his story and call it a day after making SJ a gorillion dollars.

    Naruto's failing is that the grand motivation behind many of its villains was predicated on the notion that this 'ninja world' was unfair and unsustainably violent and cruel. But then as the series develops you learn that none of the so called faults with the ninja world are endemic to its culture, it's just a small handful of bad eggs who frick things up. Heck, one of the nastier villages at the beginning of the series was revealed to have been secretly manipulted to be that way from the shadows by one of those bad eggs, and once said eggs are plucked out, everything was fine.

    It's because Kishimoto was afraid of challenging the friendly neighbourhood ninja vibe. The ninja village system is about grooming child soldiers. It should have been a sociopathic, bleak society, and would have given the protagonists something to make a principled stand against. But instead that doesn't happen. Naruto doesn't really do anything but beat a few people up and then get elected ninja president. Nothing in the show matters and all the characters are just cheap, single-personality-trait one notes. The only thing the series should be remembered for is the music, which was pretty good.

      Depends on how you define "long-running". There's plenty of 100+ chapters manga with a relatively consistent and neat power system.

    It was fine right up until the Akatsuki league of doom shit. Up until then it was an intense character drama with the backdrop of shonen antics. Technically you could argue that the whole Jinchuriki plotline was balls.

    Mangas are written on the fly.
    When a mangaka is serialized by a weekly magazine, which is the standard for success in the industry, they only have a first chapter or a few at most, and a general premise for the story.
    The editor orders the mangaka around and the standard procedure for a shonen like Naruto is constantly rising stakes and powerwank.
    When Kishimoto got serialization for Naruto, he had no idea about what he was going to do with the story. In fact Itachi being secretly a good guy was an asspull that wasn't planned at first, but the editor thought he needed a redeeming backstory twist. That sort of phenomenon is very common and the reason why manga stories usually suck.

            As I said, I'm not 12. I'm 50 so my feelings of course would differ from yours. I grew up on Battle of the Planets(G Force), and Star Blazers and Robotech, and Macron 1.

      To be fair, of the 200-odd episodes that comprise OG Dragonball, it was only an adventurous Journey to the West parody for the first 8 of them. That said, Dragon Ball definitely felt like it had wackier ideas and was content to tell smaller stories in the setting, it still had a creative spirit to it. It's only really post-Namek DBZ where the series turns into powercreep wank where every time they manage to find someone who can destroy entire galaxies that's even stronger than the last guy they fought that could also do that

        And the biggest failing is that none of them ever actually felt stronger than Frieza. They obviously were but it wasn't something the anime or Toriyama could convey through action.

          Android 17 and 18 never came off as real threats either. Even though they had good designs, they just never felt strong or imposing.

          i disagree. i think Perfect Cell felt stronger and more threatening by the end of his arc. Freeza just bullied Namekians with power levels of 5, sucker punched a bunch of Saiyans who probably didn't clock above 2000, Piccolo, Krilin, Dende, Gohan, and base form Vegeta.
          Perfect Cell dick smashed Vegeta and Trunks as Super Saiyans after they'd just spent 2 entire fricking years training to kill him and the Androids. Goku fricking died to keep him from destroying the Earth, and he still came back, even stronger than he'd been before, and was preparing a Kamehameha that would've destroyed the entire Solar System. he's leagues above Freeza. Freeza was Emperor of a universe full of piss ants with sub 10k power levels. big whoop. a single Super Saiyan smoked his boots.
          it took 3 fricking Super Saiyans and a Super Saiyan 2 jumping Cell to stop him. he's unfrickwithable.

                No, I'm talking about prior to him becoming perfect cell.

                Trunks could have blown up the planet to stop him become perfect for example. Then they just wish the planet back with the namekian dragon balls.

      I don't mind it so much in Mashle because it's clearly meant to be comedic and even then they reveal why he has such a ridiculously powerful body later on, so it isn't really the
      >I just trained a lot and that gave me superhuman strength somehow
      trope. In other cases where it played straight I also think it's kinda silly, because there is no point to create a world with certain rules/powers, make the protag an exception to it and then also not really having it matter.

    I'm rewatching it and just realized the entire world is a shogunate that starts training/using child soldiers starting at 12 yo.
    Villages are ruled by warlords and all that matters is their powerlevel and not how smart or educated they are. It's basically a japanese favela.

      At first they say that the hidden villages are secret weapons for the feudal lords that live in the outside world, then all of that is retconned and the only major population centers in the world are the hidden villages. Ninjas aren't secret weapons anymore, they are the standard soldier.

        ah they're all supposed to be hidden villages. I thought it was just the sketchy ones they encounter in the exam, I'm 2x the shit out of it. That makes it even worse since the only non ninjas we see are old people. Are they all ninjas that retire to become farmers and fishermen to support the new ninjas?
        Isn't a major plot point of the series (I dropped it at the beginning of shippuden) that one of the characters is a Big Boss like figure who wants to create a world of constant war so all soldiers can have a home? Iguess there's no way out of that system without making the characters look like cucks being subjugated by bureaucracy like in the last samurai.
