Aurange

i swear half of yall gotta be watching these for thirst lmao

Ayaulym🇰🇿

the worst take in existence. Titles and endings/openings are not the ACTUAL part of the show, they are like accessories. You won't miss anything if you skip them. The scenes in episode 1 are THE part of the show. A lot of series/movies have this seen, where they show something that happens later and be like 'a week before'. It's a narrative CHOICE and PART OF THE WRITING.

Hadi Almohammed

So basically guys you are saying that reading titles and the scenes after the ending is okay, but a full episode that shows what will happen after 40 episodes is not okay? Good thinking guys👍

Shockspring

whats that

Shockspring

i don't why they even removed the poll , i thought they would drop it 1 hour later lol

bearuber

is the naruto drop going to be today after that poll?

Gyt

If u haven’t watch jjk don’t watch the first ep either first scene is a spoiler so start at 2nd ep 💪🏻

Where it at👀

Next 2 uploads will be 🔥

Nahhh you're wafflin, Bleach has much better pacing than O.G Naruto (not saying Shippuden) its also alot less childish quicker (Maybe something to do with Naruto airing on Cartoon Network idk) and also these guys have watched nothing but the new era of Anime so saying they watched things after AoT doesn't really do much haha you can't compare 12 Ep anime that are full of non stop action to a 500 episode one, of course its gonna be abit boring for guys like Cannon and Carter who haven't got that nostalgia factor working for them. Not saying they can't like it, the show does cook at alot of points but it does have ALOT of the usual silly anime tropes that get old super quickly even for someone like me that grew up on Naruto.

Early one piece up until skypiea has good pacing, and don’t get me started on thriller bark, I feel like during that time, one of them will actually sleep the whole arc. Thriller bark is the only arc that made me drop one piece, it took me actually a year to finish that arc, skypiea was close but I tried so hard not to drop it, but after the timeskip, the pacing is so bad all the way through.

Michael H

@Karlsefni Coming from a guy in the middle of rewatching both side by side, the infamous One Piece pacing doesn’t start to creep up until like 500 episodes in. Before that, its pacing is far better than OG Naruto. It honestly surprised me; I didn’t remember early Naruto’s pacing being this bad.

Michael H

@Shockspring It’s not just the better pacing that makes Shippuden better, though. The entire tone shifts, the animation gets an upgrade, subtitles are no longer ass, etc. Even the beginning of Shippuden, I believe, will be more enjoyable for them.

Michael H

@Juan Avila Nah, early One Piece has much better pacing than OG Naruto. Later One Piece, though…that’s a rough watch lol

Michael H

Crazy take

Juan Avila

They watched many anime before watching Naruto, also bleach has literally two good arcs which is soul society and tbyw, so your basically saying if they watched bleach or one piece they’d drop it, cause those two anime’s have worse pacing than Naruto, especially one piece, I dropped it many times and I watched Naruto so that says a lot. And I haven’t finished bleach cause I dropped it. I hate when people in these comments keep saying “Naruto fans keep saying it gets better so they keep watching” or something, they would literally say that about any long running show like the big three, cause they all get better but it takes time so I just don’t get it when people say those comments.

Vendas Unitech

Guys, I think they forgot their account password

Oromis

flash forwards arent spoilers, they are part of the writing, just like in AoT when there was that one post credit scene.

Karlsefni

ahhh the "journey aspect" only genuinely applies to one piece - the show that even the biggest die hard fans admit to being one of if not the worst paced anime to ever exist, much more so than even og Naruto. Just wondering but why do you think it can genuinely apply to one piece and not Naruto when the pacing in OP for the majority of its 1000+ episodes is considerably worse than even the slowest parts of OG naruto?

e riv

I'm hoping that they react to the Op's and Ed's before staring shippudden just so they can get a little tease of the last couple of seconds from the last ending leading to shippuden.

Can’t touch this Stone

nah 36:20 was funnier than it should've been. Those sounds are crazy

Ashley K

Incorrect.

Hadi Almohammed

Btw once you get to shippuden don't watch the first episode. It is basically a spoiler episode for the upcoming events.

To be honest i kind of get it. These guys went from AoT to this😂 Naruto only holds that special place if you grew up with it and even then i would never choose to rewatch the whole thing. I occasionally watch Rock Lee vs Gaara and a few other peak fights but thats about it

Juan Avila

I’m not capping I swear I put 180, guess something happened idk.

Juan Avila

I have said this in past comments but I do know the first two arcs of shippuden are super slow but still good. After those two it’s really good. I’ve tried to tell brig to not hype shippuden insanely up cause I feel like Carter thinks the second they go into shippuden it’s peak after peak, it does take a while but when it’s there, oh it’s there.

Lydia

I agree with everything you said, it’s a memory or comprehension problem lol with a story this long people forget plot points or don’t put them together. And yes it’s condescending af for people to be saying that them liking the show is not a grown take lol

Karlsefni

Yo Geks, I know yall already know this but we always want your guys authentic reactions‼️‼️ It’s obviously inevitable to not see the opinions and the expectations set forth by comments that kind of put in the back of your minds what episodes might or might not be enjoyable but just a little reminder to watch Naruto and of course all your other shows disregarding when people think a show “gets good” or “bad” or that if you ultimately enjoy some arc or part of a show that your this or that - positive or negative. I’m guilty of these type of comments as well and while there’s nothing necessarily wrong with them some of these comments can be overbearing to read and for myself I’ve found at least when I’m ever watching a new tv show or anime and have seen a lot on the internet about it already, if I’m not constantly reminding myself to genuinely watch and formulate my own thoughts & opinions - I kind of get lost in expectations and it ruins my viewing experience. In an ideal world nobody would comment about anything you guys haven’t seen yet but I know you guys been in this game for a while and already know what’s 🆙 - just a little reminder cause we all sometimes get lost in the sauce. That being said cant wait for this weeks Naruto drop‼️‼️

Karlsefni

Majority of Naruto’s so called “Plotholes” can be rationally explained and there are some theories regarding others. As “idcjayyy” mentioned a big part of perceived plotholes comes from a lack of attention or understanding. But yes Naruto does indeed have some minor plotholes/odd narrative points throughout the story. It is extremely hard to avoid some when writing such a long, complex, intricate & expansive story and the anime community is aware that the minor ones that come nearing the end of Naruto were due to Kishimito’s mental & physical exhaustion because of the lack of breaks he took during Naruto’s 15 year run. Even so, some of the geks favorite fiction such as ATLA, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Jacks favorite one piece etc etc. have some plot holes that can be nitpicked & pointed out but nonetheless they take extremely a little away from the enjoyment, phenomenal storytelling & writing of these masterpieces and this applies to Naruto just as much. To say that they hopefully end up reviewing this show with a “grown take” & that McKay isn’t able to pick up on certain things is rather pompous & pretentious. It feels like you guys are implying that to have Naruto as one of - if not your favorite anime oat can only be a result of somehow being less intellectually capable to the point where one is not aware of Narutos flaws and its overall Narrative structure which is just a straight up insult to Kishimito’s brilliant writing & in this specific instance an insult to Brig & Mckay. It sort of reminds me of the intellectual superiority that some seinen enjoyers believe they have over those who tend to enjoy shonen more. To each there own of course but implying that to significantly enjoy Naruto requires some “dumbing down” or lack of awareness from the viewers perspective imo is just ridiculous & quite the complete opposite at times considering the amount of attention & focus one needs to pick up on some of the intricacies, foreshadowing & depth within Naruto's story. Some things definitely go unnoticed or above your head so to say & this is obviously not a jab at the geks but quite a few things have already gone over there heads which is saying something considering theres 3 of them watching together for the first time & that throughout all the shows they watch they usually are always on top of things in regard to plot, nuances etc.

Let em know Brig‼️‼️

Uros Vesic

It's weird. When u are a kid watching this every week is amazing, u don't notice any problems with the show, u enjoy the experience. Its unique, fun, and u treasure it. Later, your judgment is clouded with nostalgia, and u can't look at it realistically. This isn't just about Naruto, but for most of the shows. When u look at the show trough nostalgia, u can't see its flaws clearly. I love Bleach, watched it minimum 5 times growing up, but when trying to watch it again, I can't, it is not the same. I still like watching certain arcs, but now that I watched objectively better shows, I kind of outgrew it. I still rate it very highly, but I would not recommend someone watching it today.

Shadow

Yea in the Naruto verse everyone uses “chakra reinforcement” very similar to cursed energy in jjk where the sorcerers all use CE to reinforce their bodies and survive attacks while the entire city can be destroyed simultaneously. All battle Shonen usually have some sort of “reinforcement” built into the lore

Shockspring

am I see you guys say wait until shippiden but to be honest shippudens pacing in the first 50-60 episodes is trash as well

CHIEF

As I said a while ago, only referencing up to that point honestly but applies up until now at the least, Shikamaru is my one and only GOAT. The term may be used loosely but he is genuinely, 100% my favorite character in fiction, and all I need for that is what's been portrayed already, not to allude to anything to come or not, he's just already and has been the best imo.

Kite

*Tayuya transforms* McKay: Dang! 🥵

Karlsefni

I think a perfect example is the infamous opm scene when Genos & Saitama are sparring and before Saitamas punch connects he stops and while the entire canyon behind Genos has been decimated from the amount of force Saitamas punch generated, Genos was completely fine because he obviously scales higher & is more durable than any form of rock. You guy's haven't really had any confusion regarding fights & durability in other shows that I have seen your reactions to but I understand Naruto has a fairly unique power system so hope this explanation helped.

Karlsefni

Regarding your guy's confusion of trees & debris getting cut up but nothing really happening to the characters. It's just simply that the characters & most shinobi have a higher durability than trees, rocks etc. Each character’s durability scales to the amount & strength of there chakra so the average shinobi with decent chakra control is more durable than trees, rocks & whatnot. For example when Jiraiya hits the tree with the rasengan when he is training naruto - it completely took out a chunk of the tree but when kabuto was hit with Naruto's rasengan, his organs didn't just fly out, all he had was a large bruise on his torso and there are a lot of other examples with other jutsu used throughout the show.

idcjayyy

This is the same thing that happened with HxH lmao where there are amazing parts but you have to get through the not so amazing parts. Shippuden's peaks are what carry Naruto's legacy. And the back to back amazing arcs around the middle-ish of the series. Those who know, know. As for what you're saying abt fans switching up along the way, if I had to rank each arc in order without naming them (spoiler ig) I'd go 1st arc: 5.8/10, 2nd: 6.1/10, 3rd: 7.5/10, 4th: 9.8/10, 5th 10/10, 6th: 9.8/10, 7th: 8/10, 8th: 5.5/10?? I don't rly remember this one. 9th: 6/10 ig? 10th: (climax) 10/10. The rest of the show is this single arc split up into mini arcs i guess. I'd range them between 8-9/10 each. Conclusion is a 10/10. Even is the worst of worst arcs there are good moments in shippuden and the peaks are what kind of blind fans to the lows and honestly for good reason. A certain arc in this show genuinely changed my perception on anime forever.

Nes

Steph>Magic

Nes

Fans can say whatever they want, but being about “the journey” is simply just a cope for the show having horrible pacing, one of the only anime where that genuinely applies is one piece and that still doesn’t apply all the time because sometimes the pacing is just simply bad. Switching your mentality is pretty much a better way of saying turning your brain off a bit so that the real issues with it don’t bug you, and most people when they arent young anymore don’t want to do that. It’s all just cope, and that’s OK. Are there all time moments in the show? Yes. Is it overall objectively great? No. Do you have to wait and is it a bit of a chore to get to those moments? Absolutely.

Lydia

I feel like I agree but with naruto it’s tough bc the two are not the same show. I didn’t like OG at all but I did love Naruto Shippuden. They have different vibes and different stories/stakes. However the issues are definitely still there, the payoff was just way better in shippuden in my opinion

Thomas

Yeah great point. But it’s kind of inevitable that ppl are always gonna be hyping up Shippuden, that’s just natural. In an ideal world no one would create expectations by saying a thing about Shippuden or future episodes and their reaction would be the most pure, but that’s not real life

Billie

hehehehe I was talking about konan!!! Also Sakura sneak i saw that!!!!! (Jk jk but konan is just <33333 )

Richie Sour

No this is 100% true it’s also creating unrealistic expectations… not to mention the first 2 arcs of shippuden are good but not great imo

Seifren

I haven't watched much Naruto yet, but this is a bad mentality to have anyway. If you're not liking something and you're just waiting for it to "get good," you're never going to enjoy it. Doesn't matter if certain arcs are incredible if you never cared before that point. It's about the journey.

Ant just watching

Curry the goat.

Marcos

Nah gets good till boruto 😂

ssj4rit

Naruto gets good at episode 700

BigManSirob

I'm not tryna hate but it's kinda funny how Naruto fans keep pushing back when the show "gets good". I can imagine if Carter doesn't like Shippuden at the start the fans are going to say it actually gets good at Arc X and then if he doesn't like that then it's going to be Arc Y where it's better, etc, etc, etc.

Riya

From episode 114-121 it’s locked

Cannon Andrus

Dota that had me dying 😂😂

JaJa

Carters face has me dead lmaooo hes so over it

Bambina

I’m so so sorry to be that annoying person, but doing 360 means not moving/upgrading. Perhaps you meant doing 180

spoons

Cap. From what I’ve seen the community is actually very welcoming.

Lydia

@idcjayy exactly. Naruto does not have any “major” plot holes. People just don’t understand the def of a plot hole lol

Kyle

just wait until we get to the little ferrets backstory 🤯

Liptrouski

I cannot wait for Shippuden man

ssj4rit

I mean there are a bunch of plot holes or weird narrative choices. Like why did the 3rd Hokage let Naruto live in a crappy ass apartment with only spoiled milk in the fridge? Not a smart idea when the kid has the equivalent of a nuke in his belly that comes out when he’s angry and sad lol

Rawdota

It is really bad. It's also got the worst fan base potentially in all media, or at least anime

Rawdota

Yeah and if you grew up eating dogshit you'd also be able to tolerate it. What's the point?

Juan Avila

I mean I don’t mind them starting there first, it’s a really cool bunch of episodes, so I won’t mind it.

Juan Avila

Not everything is perfect, everything has at least 1 plot hole

Juan Avila

Saying he watched Naruto when he was younger makes no sense, cause in the tier list video he said himself he watched it after the channel was made.

Zess

flashback for your flashback before a flashback after another flashback

LaYami・砂漠の子

all of the big 3 need a remake, OP remake is coming, Naruto and Bleach should have one too

Mitch

Naruto has several MAJOR plot holes. I won’t spoil but you can do a simple google search and see them for yourself

Brig Andrus

Bro spitting facts

Brig Andrus

Yall trippin. Nothing has hit my heart strings and impacted me like Naruto! That’s why it’s my goat

idcjayyy

Naruto doesn't have any plot holes just retcons. Majority of peoples perceived plot holes are from lack of attention

Nanashi

It's between Tsunade, Sakura and Konan

Nanashi

When Naruto wants it's the goat anime. The production just sucks for most of the time

Nanashi

Bros plugging like he wrote the thing lol

Mira

I don't know if this is something you'd all be interested in but there's something called Naruto Kai. It's a fanmade cut of the entire show without any filler or flashbacks and it's a great way to watch the anime without all the pacing issues. The pacing improves somewhat in Shippuden but there's a few episodes that are PAINFUL bc they end up being almost entirely flashback.

Nanashi

Are you insane, they'll clearly watch Shippuden or all of this made no sense

Thomas

I checked one last time. The anime staff did not know where to put it, and put it in the middle of an arc which disrupted the flow. There’s no rhyme or reason to it. In the manga it was between Part I and Part II because the first arc in Part II/Shippuden makes a reference to a certain character’s father that only makes sense with context from Gaiden. It also affirms many events that were only hinted at in Part 1 (OG Naruto). There’s a long explanation but that’s the core of it

Studio Geck

We will definitely talk about it!

Studio Geck

Thanks ash🥹

ash

carter is so funny i love him

Micah Seer

Hit the nail on the head. The peaks of shippuden need to be watched absolutely, and unless you’re younger it’s quite a chore to get there. Then afterwards with that final arc….

Micah Seer

Ya idk if we will ever hear it from McKay, he doesn’t seem to appreciate/pick up on things as well as brig does. Brig has really impressed me lately with his reviews on things but this show is where I scratch my head with him, but it’s a hard pill to swallow about your favorite show or movie. Only time will tell

Nes

You can just tell the peaks of shippuden are carrying Naruto as Brig and McKay’s goat, which is understandable after your first watch and you’re younger. Undeniable peaks, but as a whole it just does not stand being so plagued with plot holes and horrific pacing and at times writing. Hope to hear a real grown take from them in the end of this rewatch

LaYami・砂漠の子

you are absolutely true Kyle, I just started watching anime 2.5 years ago, I started with the old ones, naruto was my second, after all this time coming back to naruto after watching new animes makes me think "did I really not notice the pacing of naruto when I first watched it?" but idk something about longer animes makes things hit harder, fast paced anime are great but after finishing it I do not even think about it, but longer shows make you feel that you were a part of it all the way

Melizé

Hahahha ❤️❤️❤️

RapidStar

tbh thats just most anime pacing from that era but this has really been eye opening for me since naruto is one of my goats

Lydia

It’s really not a naruto reaction without your DATTEBAYO comment lol 👏🏽👏🏽

Lydia

I’m wondering how that will work tho cause there’s two eps in between now and 128 😭 I’m scared we only get two and then have to wait for the goat batch

kyle

oh damn you're right let me edit that out lol

Lydia

Literally same. I could barely get through OG when I first watched but you have to so you can watch shippuden. It doesn’t bother me he doesn’t like it either cause this show’s audience is literally for kids and shippuden is when the stakes switch up like you said. It’s a trust the process type journey lol

Zess

Everything you said is true and good, except the HxH being inspired by Naruto lol HxH is older. But your main point is definitely true.

Riley

Prior to the Geks reactions, I would have sworn by this anime. Now, I realize that pre-Shippuden is mostly a snooze fest primarily due to the pacing. Although, I have never been a fan of the Sasuke Retrieval arc. The other arcs would heavily benefit from modern pacing and story-telling. I still love Naruto despite its flaws and can’t wait for them to react to Shippuden!

G

Shippiden after

kyle

This is the issue with watching modern anime as your first anime's & then going back to the oldies. You can watch Naruto and enjoy the show, but the pacing will always be a huge annoyance that you can't fully accept or enjoy. JJK & other modern anime are clearly heavily inspired by Naruto, but they have the advantage of being extremely better at pacing. If I watched JJK first & watched Naruto after w/o ever experiencing 2000's anime beforehand I'd probably be the same as Carter & Cannon. I think Jack grew up watching DBZ (or just old anime in general) just like me, so he's used to pacing like this, therefore he can appreciate shows like OP & Naruto. What I will say is that Shippuden does a better job at introducing even higher stakes to the story, hitting emotional beats, & has a much more mature tone most of the time. There is 3 back to back to back arcs in Shippuden that make the whole of Naruto worth watching no matter how abysmal the pacing can be most of the time. I do remember some of these side character episodes nearly putting me to sleep though lol.

Juan Avila

I don’t mind that Carter isn’t enjoying the show atm, I mean it’s what I expect. I know it sounds generic to say it gets better, but trust me it really does, at a point it does a whole 360 and everything changes, but until then, hope he enjoys the end of this arc which is what I’m waiting for 👀👀👀

Juan Avila

They have said they will continue to Naruto shippuden after og

spoons

Definitely after the time skip it gets bad. I just finished Fish-Man Island and omg that was a chore at times. But I think that the pacing is actually pretty decent at the start of the show.

idcjayyy

no I think the order is great. The build up and anticipation is imo better

idcjayyy

If Carter is struggling through these canon episodes I doubt they're gonna be watching a leaf village ramen cook-off for 20 minutes 😭

idcjayyy

I wouldn't say incredibly boring but yeah hot take this show was only enjoyable in its time period and it's mainly just a call back to all of our characters as youngins. When ppl refer to Naruto I doubt anybody has part 1 mind. I don't even think Kishimoto knew his direction with the story yet. All of part 1 was just incredibly long character development

idcjayyy

Would you guys be willing to split these last 10 canon episodes (11 counting the very last episode) by uploads of 5 each? If you keep doing uploads of 4 the climax is gonna get split up. Just wondering

Gon Freaky

I love One Piece but it's pacing makes OG Naruto look fast.

Marcos

I second this notion!!!! Or at least see both at the same time.

bebe

damn i saw ur cmmt and went to watch this video lmao i can see what u guys are saying

spoons

Please start One Piece after OG Naruto. I know you guys will love it. The pacing of the show is not bad at all at the start.

Riley

OG Naruto is incredibly boring and poorly paced. I was entertained by the Chunin Exams and attack on the Leaf, but I only kept going because I knew how good Shippuden was. It has its flaws, but it is much better than this and its peaks are high.

Lydia

I’m so proud of Carter, he made it to the end 😂😂😂

Lydia

yess Jack never misses a beat its so insane

Marcos

Hahaha legit was not even watching Naruto just carters face

Kesendo

I know you usually save the openings for the end of the year, but I was wondering if you might do the Naruto openings separately earlier, like you did with the Attack on Titan openings. All good tho if you guys plan on doing it later.

Maj

Carter stop invading my privacy with that eye contact mate, I'm tryna enjoy my dinner

Ante

Is it toxic that 90% of my enjoyment of this reaction comes from watching Carter hanging on for dear life.

Ante

its so funny. brother is fighting for his life.

Jackson Carter

😂

S0uL YgR

@corLeonis @bearuber Seriously 🤞🤞🤞

S0uL YgR

I think their discussions are after their full binge which is probably 5/6 episodes OR at the end of "arcs"...either way what I think I'm starting to see it's that he tends to want real life quick decisions but doesn't understand 1. Not everyone reacts the same way even in real life (there's actually taunting involved in real life crimes I believe) 2. He doesn't understand its still a kids show so they can't make it too crazy or too deep all the time hence cut the suspense in case kids are watching so they don't get totally traumatized. My opinion of course so I don't think he doesn't like/enjoy it's just a struggle of his own perception?

Jackson Carter

😂

Jackson Carter

We reacted to all intros of the shows we watched last year at the end of the year so we will do that again I think

S0uL YgR

🤫 the funny thing for me is that Carter wants gore but when he gets it he's like extra horrified with his hands on his head

Marcos

Poor man is being held prisoner. For his sake I wish the would marathon this show like before. Because every week he looks less interested.

Patriicia

he looks like McKay watching Haikyuu :D :D

Kesendo

Someone else has already mentioned this, but I'm curious aswell. Are you guys going to react to all openings/endings after finishing part 1? 👀

Patriicia

we are getting your voices x2 :( :(

James

Cannon looks like he's about to fall off the couch and it's day time

Gon Freaky

Carter looks like he's being held hostage lol

Shalin A

If you aren't doing it, you need to got to animefillerlist dot com and skip anything in naruto that doesn't have canon in it IMO

Marcos

Man Carter does not really like Naruto that much. Every reaction it seems he would rather be watching something else. The big 3 are great but early episodes for each has too many backstories and the pacing is meh.

Billie

Actually sandi 🤓 Someone who has not been introduced yet is the coolest 😜

LaYami・砂漠の子

Most stories/novels/ anything in the world can be told in a 100 eps or less if they really cut out most of the useless and not funny comedy scenes, even one piece will have a re-make with a total of less than 250eps if im not mistaken even though it a long and complex story, I love longer animes and naruto is one of my favs but the pacing and some tropes really kill the enjoyment sometimes, even though hunter x hunter is a little bit longer than classic naruto but re-watching hxh is so easy and fun compared to naruto

MEW1023

it's only for a few minutes. might have been corrupted or an upload issue

MEW1023

im CHEESIN for the next few episodes bro

KarmyMe

thank you so much🧡

Hej Hej

Click on Studio geks profile and then to the right you will see there collections/playlists. they have reacted to every fullmetal episode I think

KarmyMe

GUYS. Where can i find [FMAB] full version?

Jv1300

Damn lol the sound is so bad 🙃

Ari

Code Geass, Haikyuu, then Naruto... i'm winning. I hope you all enjoy these 3 as much I enjoyed them! I dont know what to feel about Carter as he's obviously not enjoying OG Naruto. I'm just rewatching these episodes as well and I honestly feel bored now to some episodes but I couldn't believe he still has no reaction even with Lee's fight 😅 Just trust the story. Believe everyone that says Naruto will be worth it, the OG Naruto could be boring but the story is essential to Shippuden which is the GOAT, so just enjoy the ride :)

AA

Guys Shippuden is waaay different, it will get more serious. Carter might not be enjoying the show atm but trust me it gets better

GBuckets

Naruto is too stupid for genjutsu, it’s not his style, his style is just f*cking people up

Anthony Head

So close

Temari is special grade?

Beeg

I like the manga but ngl I can't handle the pacing in the anime.

Shikamaru you absolute genius <3

Lucas Chaves

maybe if this show had terrible pacing instead of 20 min it could easily be half

KilaNIX93

Dudes hey.. Just noticed!! Nice NEW coffee Table!! :D Congrats!

Quintex

Should watch raid redemption movies!

jemmy

carter hates this show lmaoo

Shippuden will put this show in Carter's top 3.

You’re my fave cuz you get it! You always catch on to every plot. Whether it be haikyuu, AOT, or Naruto. ✊🏽

Sandi

☹️

Sandi

Dude, we all took him for granted.

Sandi

Right! How did Carter not get that

Sandi

I’m not gonna lie, this was so anticlimactic😭😭. Jack, he’s HIM. Picks up on everything 🙂‍↕️

Zannen Da

Or it maybe it was just how the direction of the fights went.

Sam

Not Brig spoiling the reveal just seconds before, cmon bro 😂

Big Brother 2

The reason Kimimaro decided to let Lee drink his "medicine" was cause he believed Lee was sick just like him. Kimimaro empathized with that, and decided to do something irrational as a shinobi.

Big Brother 2

What are those creatures supposed to represent in Japanese mythology?

Sandi

tsunade is, temari is second

Sandi

ik their reaction was so anticlimactic

Kamui

You can honestly summarize what happens in 141 and 142 that are important in one sentence

Lemur

Actually a banger, I saw some art and thought the drawn magic was a cool concept so I gave it a shot and fell in love with it

Maeve

It has 13 volume (Aot has 34)

Reed Stevens

If this was Bleach that lady would've been minced by that wind

Zannen Da

Maybe he likes anime that have a definite story ending in less than a hundred episodes.

Maeve

Cannon please read Witch Hat Atelie manga. Please try the first chapter. Witch Hat Atelie is a fantasy series unlike any fantasy story. The art style is so gorgeous. so whimsical . It’s similar to fairy tale book. Every page is lavishly drawn. WHA has one of the most beautiful story. The story is exquisitely written. The magic is an artistic metaphor. It’s mind blowing how good every chapters is. Premise: On The Day of the Pact, it was established that only a few people would be able to draw magic. To enforce this rule, the magic council decided to wipe out the "memory of magic" from people, turning them into Unknowing, while the rest that kept the secret of magic were called the Pointed Hat Witches, and those that rejected the day of the pact, became outcasts and "magic criminals" called the Brimmed Hat Group. synopsis: Coco is a girl with a simple dream: she wants to be a wizard. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and she was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious traveling magician. After secretly watching him perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth and dis covers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it seem.

btw I’m sure they won’t just forget about 119/120, they always talk about the giant shuriken from ep 1 of OG and 120 isn’t really easy to forget 😂 the payoff of watching it first is enormous and we also won’t be interrupted from the arc where they randomly put it (the build up in that area is crazy, iykyk) and putting Gaiden there was a careless decision. It was out of place and cut the momentum. It also takes place way before Shippuden. Think of it as something that exists outside of Shippuden, which is the correct way and why it is between Part 1 and Part 2 in the manga.

Charlie

It doesn't look like Carter enjoyed these episodes. I was hoping for a discussion at the end to hear his thoughts on this bunch.

Astro Teddy

GAARA

bearuber

i hope they make 1 whole video about it like what they did with AoT :<

Kesendo

The last few minutes of both 141 and 142 are canon and kinda important

S0uL YgR

I feel like they see a lot of explanation comments but it just doesn't stick OR the info gets lost in the heat of them moment 😮‍💨 i feel like it would be more enjoyable for at least some to keep it in mind but I think watching so many shows also affects that storage space

corLeonis

Well I hope they watch all before going to shippuden cause that will pile up. Shippudden also is full of bangers

Yousra

okay!

S0uL YgR

They have done that for other anime but Naruto has so many I honestly have no clue how they would do them. Maybe it will be based on McKay and Briggs' favorites since they're the guides but I'm scared they will miss out on my favorites if we have different taste 😵‍💫

Kamui

13 episodes until shippuden

1999

I think Lee’s drunken fist is a reference to Jackie Chan’s Drunken Master movie

Karlsefni

SO glad that you & Cannon seem to be enjoying these episodes, think you've adjusted to early shonen pacing cause you've watched most of one piece - I think Carter is beginning to turn the corner and hopefully by the next couple of batches he'll be more hooked heading into Shippuden

corLeonis

Hope they could also react to the op and ed songs of naruto 😊 this series have a lot of bangers that I still continue to listen even after how many years 😅 it's in my running/jog playlist because the beats make me fast (or thats how I felt haha)

Cannon Andrus

It’s going to stay where it is rn!

Karlsefni

Like this so the geks know to watch episodes 128-135 & 220 in one batch!!! Some anime filler lists have 141 & 142 as mixed canon/filler but they're completely filler so don't bother watching them.

Yousra

Hey guys!! I love your Naruto's reactions so freaking much that is why I hope you will consider speeding up a bit the process and watch more than 4 eps a week.

Shadow

I would never🤝

Shadow

He had crazy potential😔

Alex

Rip choji

Gon Freaky

I can not wait for 133. Still holds up 20 years later.

Zannen Da

🥲 can’t we all just get along?

JD Galbraith

Them: “He always cooks” Me: 👀

Robert

Us Non Naruto watchers will not talk shit about your show like some of yall do on our show. Hope you enjoy the reaction!!!

derick ako

I think what you guys are missing is that chakra is like cursed energy the more chakra you have the more durable you are. So an attack that easily cuts through trees might only be a paper cut for someone with a lot of chakra or no damage at all depending on the amount of chakra they have. Please keep this in mind moving forward.

jjk is also just largely influenced by bits of japanese folklore and such, as kishimoto is known to take inspiration form a lot as well,,so not to say it necessarily couldn't have played a roll as well since mangakas often take inspo from each other too, but those particular creatures aren't really note worthy in the verse and its more likely just from the overall culture lol

grove19

Things finna get real the next few episodes

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

I laughed at that too ahcvshbv - it sounds like such a cool/pretty move name,,and then its literally just him stabbing normally LMAO

Yomide

Fun fact: Rock Lee’s drunk shtick was inspired by Jackie Chan’s popular movie ‘Drunken Master’

Zannen Da

I know, i basically saw every Naruto AMVs on youtube from 2006-2011.

Zannen Da

Or a Television series with a big budget, but Hollywood doesn’t like to go all-in on an IP without getting some return profits. However, if a live action Naruto tv series was confirmed instead, the issues would be how many episodes would there be for the first season and what arcs do you adapt up to. I would like for the first season to adapt from the start to the Konoha crush arc, but that seems like about 20 one hour episodes and a huge budget for a first season, which rarely happens

Shadow

I heard that’s about to be the worst movie of the year. And yea Naruto just doesn’t lend itself to live action without significant rework

Richie Sour

Sorry I think it’s 133? iykyk

Richie Sour

Personally I still enjoy episodes 128-131 but yeah… 132 is the definition of peak, especially for its time

Zannen Da

I think everyone here just wants them to watch episode 132-134 while the other episodes before 132 were meant for contexts

Zannen Da

Thats why they need to watch Mob Psycho 100.

Zannen Da

Well, Lionsgate is producing it and their Borderlands movie looks like trash-tier. I already had no hopes for it because I dont know how you can adapt the first arcs of Naruto into a feature-length film. Do you take out Haku and Zabuza and just go straight to the chunin exam?

Richie Sour

These next final episodes are by far the best in OG Naruto… hopefully it’ll reel you guys back in a bit

LuvStarburst

One of my favorite fights is the next upload of the goat Gaara.

Shadow

M. Nights. The shit movie😂

dotsae 🇧🇷

i cant kimimaru calling out "dance of Camellia" and literally just stabing Naruto's clones LMAO

Zannen Da

You talking about M. night’s last airbender or netflix’s live action atla?

Leigh Kim

Temari is the best female character in the show imo, and Shikamaru's my favorite character. Power duo!

S0uL YgR

Day 20 with your joke 👏👏👏 let's see how many more days you last

Shadow

I saw that some of the people that worked on the live action ATLA movie were working on it so I never had hope lmao💀

Zannen Da

After Kill La Kill (2013) and S1 of OPM (2015), a lot of anime including Shonen anime tend do a lot of sakuga animation. It seems like alot of new anime now have to include sakuga animation to get noticed.

Shadow

Big reason why Naruto fights stand the test of time

victoria t

Shonen these days focus more on special effects vs clean taijutsu

victoria t

As usual temari loves to tease shikamaru 😏

Billie

Just when I was going to sleep 😏

Thomas

Also considering they’re probably doing a Shippuden binge, it would be even better to have the transition from KG (Gaiden) to the main storyline at the start. It’s a natural transition and a great hook. It adds mystery and makes a certain few episodes later on far more meaningful. It does not exist in the Shippuden storyline, and having it first is the most logical placement for it

Thomas

It’s a Gaiden or “side story/tale”, and unfortunately it interrupts the flow of the arc it takes place in in the anime. The anime clearly did not know where to put it, and completely ignored the canon order. It doesn’t “ruin hype,” that’s thinking about it as if it takes place late into Shippuden. But canonically it takes place BEFORE Shippuden, it’s a separate piece. It perfectly introduces a character right at the start, who besides the 9 tails, was the first character ever introduced. His lore lingers throughout and we already saw what he looks like. They don’t show his arsenal besides FTG. Even the classic move isn’t shown. Gaiden perfectly teases the character, and it’s a beautiful parallel to the start of OG. In the manga (full disclosure I read manga first but had long forgotten the order), I felt like they didn’t show enough. But Gaiden in the show does it perfectly.

Juan Avila

I disagree, it kinda ruins the hype of the first ep, also they’re probably gonna forget about it since it will take a while for it to become relevant, so it showing up later in the show is better so they will remember it more.

Shadow

OG Naruto got better choreography then most shonen nowadays

Zannen Da

There’s rumors that the production of the live action Naruto is in disastrous shape. Thanks alot Hollywood, no wonder gen alphas is into tiktok and streaming.

Brig Andrus

Oh yes 😎

Thomas

Guys reminder to watch 119 and 120 first when you get to Shippuden, it follows the canon order of the manga and sets up the later parts a lot better. I verified and confirmed the reasoning which I detailed below. Brig and McKay we counting on you! We are SO CLOSE ❤️‍🔥

Shadow

Some many goated moments to wait for🙏🏻

Kreis

Naruto Goatppuden is coming soon

Shadow

I love Shikamaru. One of my favs

Aden

I just went on a mountaineering expedition in Canada for an entire month. Was sad to not see gek videos but happy I can watch them all back now. During my trip I was getting really tired on a climb up and asked one of the guides “how close are we to the top?” All he said back was “Sasuke Retrieval Arc.” I smiled and laughed because I knew I was at the peak.

JD Galbraith

Great episodes right here. Always think of the Joe Rogan gif of him reacting to the MMA fight. But it’s us seeing what happens in these episodes

Patriicia

yeees my fav drop of the week ❤️

Matthew Valentine

bro the ghost things with mutliple mouths 100% gotta be the inspiration for curses in jjk, never noticed before thats crazy

G

Day 20 asking for dub

More Naruto Reactions

You guys are the best. Remember brig you promised 128-135 in one batch. That’s the most legendary part of Naruto classic! So hyped Edit: also that last 7 mins in episode 220 and then you would be finished with classic in one batch.
