Even as a teenager, around the 100 episode mark I seen the rolling narrative for what it was. It's literally like wrestling or a soap opera, they can just keep on stacking new villains and power levels over and over.

There's a short greentext about how naruto was reduced to an eyeball arms race where everyone was trying to get the strongest eyeballs. The author really invented one of the coolest things ever and just ran with it like 90% ignoring the fact that they're ninjas. There were WAYYYY too many people with special powers. This is the only show I've ever seen that started with a hard magic system and ended with a soft magic system.

Is it any good? I'm interested in reading it, because it seems to be very influential in eastern media, but I don't want to get into it only to discover it's a 2000 pages long tome filled with Chinese nonsense.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's literal shonenshit in novel form. Monkey King is just a collection of stories you'd read to a 8-12 year old kid at bed, every 3 pages is like a different episode where he fights the water dragon or some villain of the week. It's a lot closer to Dragon Ball than you'd imagine.
I think high brow chinese art has always been in poetry, novels were sort of the lowbrow medium for common plebs to enjoy.

Full Metal Alchemist is the only anime so good they made multiple versions of it. I have never seen My Hero Academia. Animax was this channel from my childhood and even their FMA ad used to be kino.
Looking at those ads I really feel like advestisements went backwards the past decade. Darn......the last generation of actually competent people really did go extinct after the smartphone came out.
Hunter X hunter is good but the newest manga arc has too many characters and is getting a bit boring. Hunter X hunter was peak till the end of the ant king arc.

I'd say it's similar to the Alien franchise.. They've got powered armour and interstellar travel, but not force fields or any sort of supernatural powers.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I think the alien franchise is actually technologically more advanced because the alien franchise has androids.
The awkward thing about the alien franchise is that based on the power levels of the androids in the most recent movie, it should take humanity a century or two at most to be able to mass produce robots powerful enough to defeat the aliens without issue.
I think we are going to reach a point where biological monster horror just doesn't work in any setting because either you have to go down the route of fantasy powers in space to make the monsters impossible to defeat, or suspension of belief will become ever harder as we are already nearing a point where the public commercial systems can track every inch of the planet already.
Alien swarms could still work but they would have to be endless in number even before they reach humanity.

Never seen it.
Incredibly generic slop in a genre defined by generic slop. Seriously this is some of the biggest trash ever conceived out of Nipponistan. Having the worst western fanbase out of any anime ever is actually crazy considering how boring the series is.
Is this even shounen? I thought I counted as seinen.
I will say the 1st arc (Land of Waves) for Naruto was bretty good, felt more like seinen than shounen. Naruto's only decent arcs were it's first 2 and then it went downhill into Japanese wizardcute twinkry.
