Sup people, so I decided to do something a little different. I'm going to compare Naruto in the manga and anime. I'm gonna give my reasons on what I like, don't like and what could've been better on both anime and manga. Hope you guys enjoy. :relaxed:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
So, the story of Naruto in the manga is great, but I would give an edge on the story to the anime. Basically the story from the manga and anime are pretty much the same, but the anime give us more information like fillers and some histories. Don't get me wrong, I like the story in the manga. The anime version clarify somethings with filler and such. Some fillers are unnecessary like the chunin exams and ongoing reapeat on Kakashi and Obito flashback. I feel like the manga story is sometimes incomplete.
For example:
The Uchiha Clan Massacre. We all didn't understand why Itachi killed the entire clan and we ended up hating him. Later we found out that he wanted to protect his brother and prevent a war between Konoha and Uchihas. In the anime, it gives us more info by fillers on how it really happen from beginning to end. We all didn't know who's Shisui Uchiha is until fillers explains it. Fillers, background stories and histories deliver us a clear explanation of the story.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Art:
The art between anime and manga, I would give the manga for the win. The arts in Naruto manga looks really good, here are some examples on great looking arts in Naruto manga :point_down:
I know the anime artdoesn't have to look the same, but it looks better in the manga in my opinion. I prefer part 2 manga art than part 1. Some anime arts looks terrible like this :point_down:
Anyway, you get my point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pacing:
Thus is a tough one because both anime and manga pacing are different. I don't know how to explain this very well so bear with me. For example, Naruto vs Neji in part 1 chunin exam. The anime version feel so slow in the beginning, it takes them more than 3 minutes to start fighting. In the manga, the pacing is slightly faster because you are basically reading and looking at pictures lol. Both can be faster than the other or slower. Just like the Kyuubi vs Orochimaru, the anime feels so slow sometimes, but manga sometimes doesn't. I hope you guys understand, if not then I'm sorry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that's all for comparison, maybe I'm wrong. Now, if I had to choose only one between anime and manga, I would most definitely choose the anime. Here are some reasons why I prefer the Naruto anime than manga. :point_down:
Animations:
To me, I'm not a huge manga reader, like I almost never read any other manga besides Naruto. I just love watching animated shows, feels more "alive" if you what I mean. It feels more entertaining to watch fights in Naruto than reading it. In my opinion the manga cn get boring sometimes, not the story, reading pages of words isn't really my thing lol.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Music:
Who doesn't want to listen to godly music during fights lol. I really love Naruto music, one of reason why I love the anime than the manga. It gives you all.kinds of emotions like sadness, excitement, anger( Whenever they play Danzo music, I get upset lol) etc. Certain music fits on certain scenes in Naruto. When fighting begins, it starts playing energetic music to keep you pumped up and excited, or give us sad music when someones dies or a sad back story. Like when Neji died with sad music. You get the point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fillers:
Yes, I know what you are thinking, some fillers are unnecessary and others are interesting. Like Kakashi Anbu Filler Arc, Power Arc, Izanagi history etc. Those are good arcs. These arcs give us additional information that you may not see in the manga. I wouldn't mind like a Sage of Sixth Paths filler or more about their sons. We want fillers that are less boring and more interesting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah, those were my reasons on why I prefer the anime over the manga. I know you guys have your own opinion on which you prefer, Naruto anime or manga? Anyway, I hoped you guys enjoy this long ass blog lol. Feel free to like and share. Have a nice day. :v: :blush:
