Oh, I hope that I'll be the first to write the review when all the Naruto anime series end. Well, what should I start with… 15 years. For FIFTEEN years this anime brought me joy and unspeakable emotions. For FIFTEEN years it taught me right from wrong. For FIFTEEN years it … it's been a guide of light for me. Jeez, I was raised on this anime, I became older with its characters, I just LOVE IT!!! The Naruto series started when I was in a preschool age, and for 15 years it never stopped to surprise me. Though the journey was long (some might say too long) it was always exciting and brilliant. And I am really sorry if I get carried away by emotions, but true Naruto fans will understand – this is a tale, a unique and flawless tale, of nearly all of my life and now that I look back and see that little Naruto who used to be always alone, without parents, without friends, and I turn my look to who he became through these years – the Hero, who saved the world, Best Friend that was always there to help and to understand, and now – a husband… ah, I might cry. Seriously. Perfect ending. Naruto and Hinata deserve their piece of happiness. And though we did not see this in original manga series, I was really glad to be able to see that kind of and end in anime adaptation.Now let's get back to the show and analyze everything peace by peace. I'll start with the story. Indeed the plot, the fantastic world, all the jutsu techniques, all the creatures and characters, everything that we saw in Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden world is a creation of a mastermind – Kishimoto Masashi, and for that I bow to him to the ground. Just imagine how impossible it was to create such a wide universe with all of its own structure (villages, clans, fractions), its own history (all the clans and villages wars), its own beasts, beings and heroes etc; and how unimaginable was it to make this huge machine work. There is everything I love about the story and about how it is served to the viewer revealing its genius from all sides. It is groundbreaking in every way possible.Now let us head to art style. Generally it is satisfying. Well, it is hard to make every episode look like Kimi no Na Wa (you can consider this a recommendation), especially when you have more than 700 episodes (Naruto + Shippuuden). But I can praise creators for really good special effects and the way they've made all ninjutsu types look like. And though I must admit that Naruto movies absolutely compensate lack of original shows' drawing it does not make the original run look worse.Unlike art styling – music really is the VERY strong side of the series. From top to bottom it is impeccable. Every opening, every ending, every song from the series is something breathtaking and mind blowing. I truly enjoy every track and I can sincerely call the Narutos' OST one of the best of all time in anime industry. The openings like Hero's Come Back (OP 1), Sign (OP 6), Toumei Datta Sekai (OP 7), Diver (OP 8), Shilhouette (OP 16) will fire you up and make your spirit riot; the endings like Shooting Star (ED 1), U can do it (ED 15), Dame Dame ga (ED 31), Spinning World (ED 32), Zetsu Zetsu (ED 40) will make you believe that you just witnessed a dream that you never want to end. I am not even mentioning stunning Hisou, Kikyou, Sengunbanba, Utsusemi tracks that appear at very exact lyrical moments and touch your soul in its deepest corners. The chorus tracks like Akatsuki and Pains' theme songs make you feel goosebumps and your hair stand as you stare through the eyes of our heroes at fearless overwhelming enemy hordes. An incredible work by the composer – Yasuharu Takanashi.The enjoyment that I personally got from this show is something outstanding. I enjoyed it to the core and absolutely adore it. Maybe that's because I felt much the same as the main hero and 've been a witness of many injustice things in this life, and the anime shows it very good. The human's greed, the way we only think about our own sake, even the way kids treat someone who is not similar to them – it is a part of the masterpiece that Naruto is.

Depth - 2/2Importance - 2/2Relevance - 2/2Artistry - 2/2Imagination - 2/2Total - 10/10The greatest story there ever was, a modern epic, the most important produce of the manga/anime industry. Each character represents the diverse emotional problems people face in their lives. There is a war-torn era, a post-war era and another war-torn era, and finally an era of peace. In all this, the mangaka didn't forget to show how it all began, giving a very interesting symbolic history of the world's past. Then, there are the heart-wrenching representations of the war-orphans, the downtrodden, the outcasted and even the privileged. The antagonists have also been shown to possess really important reasons to turn against the norms. Philosophies of peace, conviction, life, death, art, purpose, etc are voluminous. As a shounen, it has the most creative battle scenes and character developments. The art and animation are brilliant. There are references to Japanese, Indian and other cultures, traditions and myths throughout the story. The sacrifices done for national cause, the underlying political crises, all are shown with brilliant symbolism. Kishimoto is a rare genius and should be considered a legend. The beautiful background scores and heart-touching ending songs all make it a very emotional watch. Especially, the MC being the most motivational and iconic character in any work of fiction. A must watch for every being living in this world!Note: The DIRAI technique of rating was developed by me. Five criteria to rate any work of art, across any genre. The aggregate of these five lends the final rate. All five criteria are equally necessary. You can't call one greater than the other.-Depth is the layered meaning of a story. How symbolic or allegorical a work of art is.-Importance is how necessary a work is. How significant it is with respect to social, historical, philosophical, political and scientific standpoints.-Relevance is how appropriate a work of art is with respect to the current time, period or circumstances. It lends weight to the work. Even symbolic reference to the modern civilization is a great factor for relevance.-Artistry is how a work of art is executed or portrayed.-Imagination is the thinking up of new ideas. Be it in the form of new characters or a mind blowing story, a new tune or a new kind of literature itself.P.S.: Lots of reviewers tend to rate works by how much they were able to relate. I do not even consider that a factor. Entertainment and relatability are not proper criteria for reviews. Well, whatever, thank you. This is my first review, I shall be posting more very soon.

To those who haven't watched this my words may seem massively exaggerated, I'm not usually one to review titles but if anyone does happen to read this then I could not recommend highly enough that you watch this. I won't even bother to give any descriptions just have faith in this post and watch it. Honestly you'll thank me for it.

It is an end of an era, more or less. Bravo, they did a great job ending it, even though they still haven't really ended it. Well, I stopped watching so it ended for me. Seriously, the guys behind Naruto should just end it. Baruto looks promising but give us a break already, stop milking beloved franchises into the ground. Dragonball Super made a joke out of the DBZ universe and Baruto could do just the same thing to Naruto. Anyway, if you are planning on watching this series or watching it again then I recommend doing what I did, skipping all of the filler episodes. Seriously, a fillerless viewing of this show is literally animated art as far as I am concerned.
