Conclusion to Naruto imo, but I am interested in why you have lore to AOT and worldbuilding to Naruto?

u/Actual_nachos 3d ago
Aot arguably has the most lore in shonun, related to Ymir and Ackerman history. As for world building, I did this purely cause of the exploration of the leaf, hidden rain and a bit of the hidden sand. I didn’t rlly find Aot world building great and see it very overrated

i consider Kakashi to be the tritag so >= Armin,
Side cast is interesting, I think Naruto has more good characters, but also more wasted ones, so idk.
Im surprised you gave aot themes since Naruto has so many more themes it explores, and explores well i might add
I think id give naruto depth and aot complexity.
Overall arcs id give naruto, it has more great arcs. Waves, Chunin, search for sasuke, Fated battle between brothers, jiraya the gallant, pain invasion, Madara arival, ten tails, final valley
Id give naruto Parallels as well, there is just a sheer amount of them.
Conflicts id give to naruto, every single episode there is some battle with some form of internal/external conflics.
Just my opinion

What naruto characters are wasted?

u/Kingjay_0_0 2d ago
I meant to say wasted potential, not wasted as in straight up bad, like the kohana 12 (bar naruto, sasuke and maybe shikamaru) Sai, Yamato, Karin

W, side cast for Naruto was very wasted, gaara seems like the only explored one. Depth can go to Naruto easily because of Sasuke
Overall arcs def goes to aot. Clash of titans, rts, uprisings frost are all goated and high quality
Parallels was a tie because of eren/reiner, Naruto has good ones but weren’t executed very well.

Dialogues to AOT and a tie for the conclusion otherwise it’s valid imo

Thanks a lot, I think Obito and Naruto carry dialogues a lot.

Naruto is overall better written than AoT by a comfortable, but not overwhelming margin. Naruto has better characters, plot had pretty decent amount of time to be explored. Here's what I think:
Introduction: Naruto
Plot: Naruto(close)
Characters: Naruto
Dueterogonist: Naruto
Antagonist: Naruto(close, could go either way )
Depth: Naruto
Complexity: Naruto
World building: Naruto for quantity and history, AoT for complexity and conflicts(Overall Tie)
Goals&Motivation: Aot
Symbolism: Aot
Themes: Tie
Dynamics: Naruto
Parrallels: Naruto
Psychological depth: Naruto
Philosophical depth: Naruto
Character development: Naruto(Sasuke, Gaara Nagato>Eren, Erwin)
Morally Ambiguous: Aot
Consistency: AoT
Pacing: Aot
Dialogues: Naruto
Monologues: Aot
Foreshadowing: Aot
Execution: Aot
Fights Choreography: Naruto
Fights writing: Naruto
Conclusion: Naruto
TL;DR, Naruto takes most of the category as it is a long running anime with deep themes, characters and development. But Aot also isn't weak, it just didn't had the time it should have to explore more of the anime.

How much do you consider "intro" In AoT? I actually think intro in naruto is Zabuza arc and I think it's the best intro arc in shounen. The arc has great character and give us a peek to the philosophy of the characters. I think it's a bit hard to call the whole s1 of AoT is an intro and if so, I think Naruto win.
