Naruto is an incredibly notorious anime comparable to titles such as Dragon Ball Z and many other shows with amazing merit. It is primarily reminiscent of these shows because the creator of Naruto steals ideas from all of them and has absolutely no originality of his own. The show centers around a ninja named "Naruto" who engages in activities such as screaming and yelling. He gathers together more and more friends, typically through the process of beating the shit out of them. One can be qualified as Naruto's "best friend" only if they have made attempts to kill him (Gaara of the sand, Sasuke, etc.). Every ninja in the village functions in a group with two other ninja boasting equally insipid personalities. Initially, Naruto wants to be "Hokage," ninja leader, and this is seen as the plot for the show, but later the show is dedicated to searching for another ninja known as Sasuke. The whole village was left with a monumental sense of loss as this ninja left and his dull and colorless personality would be missed for years to come. After Naruto fails to retrieve this ninja, Sasuke is made the main emphasis of the show and can be seen for hundreds of episodes at a time while people are left wondering what is actually transpiring with the character "Naruto," who one would assume is the main character as his name is also the show's title.
Person 1: Wow, Naruto Shippuden is an amazing show.
Person 2: I started watching it, it's awesome.
Person 1: I wonder when Naruto will learn that move?
Person 2: Who's Naruto?
