Aura farming merchant vs visual merchant??
all in all, Naruto clears both
Nah your take is definitely fair. I also really liked the characters. I guess the difference in opinion between us is mainly story wise, I thought in the war arc there were too many ass pulls. Like random villains being introduced out of nowhere (kaguya), randomly betraying each other (zetsu backstab madara), or just turning to the good side when it just felt so out of place narratively (obito).
Naruto was truly peak. New anime fans won't understand how big it was at its peak. It was bigger than anime itself at least globally. Tbh it's still huge, crazy how it was the most watched anime of 2024 in Netflix. Also as kids me and my friend used to talk about eye powers and different jutsu. It's so nostalgic.
The last arc of demon slayer is really fun to read, so knowing that demon slayer has amazing animation, I can't wait to see those final 30 to 40 chapters animated. All the fights are good in their own way and I know a lot of people will like this last arc because there are only fight scenes pretty much. I guess I spoiled it a bit but yeah clears solo leveling where jinwoo just dogwalks literally all of his opponents including destruction lol.
