What I said specifically was Mary Sue Fantasies. I didn't label out all three characters as mary sues. 2 out of the three characters specifically have heavy attributes of Mary Sues. One is the epitome definition of a Mary Sue. All three story fantasies are heavy with Mary sue-isms, as well as misinterpretations of background, such as Ninjas. They weren't very honorable, worked for money, and were often from farming communities. Sure they have skills out the whazoo, but looking up to Ninjas isn't as good a thing as most people think it is. They were hired killers, with one simple mindset, kill for money, and lots of it. Naruto just kinda...Annoyed the piss out of me. Maybe I just caught it at a bad episode or something, but it left a bad taste in my mouth and I haven't had the urge to pick it up and try again.

Naruto undergoes constant pain and struggle maturing greatly the entire series more so shippuden . The have never claimed to be honorable the opposite in fact. Only the people they saved or helped looked up to them. Btw to let u know NEVER watch Naruto in English .! The actor Sucks and "Believe it!" Is the stupidest thing ever , he says " DattaBayo" which is just a mumble like uh or um or you know?. Only ever watch in Japanese w subtitles . Much less annoying even though u read. TRUST me

elessar0windにより編集済み: 8/8/2014 11:48:31 PMYeah, you're right about Mary Sue-ism. The only part of Naruto (best part IMO) that resembled the Ninja was The Land of Waves Arc (right after the 6 silly intro episodes), where the theme was "what is a ninja?" after that it slowly but surely grew to major fantasy zone (but it is a fantasy after all). The ninja were different clans of farmers who did what they had to do to survive, under the iron fist if the shogun and samurai. It was the feudal age, honor was pretty subjective (technically even now) and every groups way of doing thing was different. Their "un honorable" ways, tactics of stealth, slight of hand, reserved nature, unorthodox weapons, etc. created many myths, which the show, Naruto, turned into superhuman fact. The Ninja tactics originated from monks that taught farmers how to defend themselves and much more. Hence the way of the ninja has origins from Buddhism (or so is concluded), Which the Naruto emulates from more of than the ways of stealth, with the characters reaching god-like powers slowly but surely (also Shintoism as we'll). Your, not going to like Naruto, it can be as bad as DBZ (heck it was inspired by it) but if curiosity gets the best of you, I recommend the land of waves arc.

Being related to the former Okinawan Shogunate and a few Samurai clans I can say without reservation...Noooo thank you. Got enough just reading about the history of Japan to know I want very little to do with it.

Noooot really. Japanese from the Mainland (Japan Proper) Tend to look at Okinawans as second class citizens even today. Mostly because we're a mix of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese all wrapped up in one bundle. It kinda sucks but eh. Live with the cards dealt. I don't live there, and am happy in Arizona.

Meh, I'm a mutt too (from Caribbean), but one day the whole world will be covered in mutts because humans will never stop having baby making activities in this globalized world! (In non-crazy words I'm proud of it) Muhahahaha!
