When someone says that something is overrated, they probably don't actually think that the thing they're talking about is overrated, they might just want to be "cool" and "different" but people who say that Naruto is overrated might actually be kinda right... not that it's a bad show, far from it ! But, it's not a favorite of mine and i don't think i can even tell you exactly why but i have my theories, maybe i'm just too young to understand "the genius of Naruto" or whatever or maybe it's just not my thing as i'm not the target audience, i couldn't tell you really but i can tell you is what i actually think about it, whether you like it or not.
The story ? It's just your classic underdog story but with ninjas, however, even I can admit that every episode keeps you on your toes and makes you want to see more, but still... the show has so many episodes that it gets tiring to binge or even just finish while taking your time to do so.
The characters are a mix bag, some are good, some are great but some are annoying, Naruto is one of the annoying ones, Sasuke is interesting but he's still your typical edgy boy, Sakura, despite being one of the most hated characters.. ever, is still my favorite of the three main characters, why ? Not sure, i just think she's cute i guess and don't act like the other female characters in Naruto are that much better than her, Lee is, in his own way, kinda cute, Shikimaru is... look i know that Naruto is an old series, but i could not stand his sexism towards every girl in the show, the other characters are either good or just okay.
Naruto is not a bad anime, I would even say that it's good... I know, crazy. But if i ever were to recommend an anime to someone who wants to get into anime, it wouldn't be my first choice, or even my second choice. People who say that it's the best anime ever or a masterpiece are people who grew up with the show, and that's okay but that's just not me.
