Naruto definitely isn't perfect and has it's flaws, but it still remains one of my favorite series. Also compared to the other popular Shounen Manga I've watched and read so far (DBZ, HXH, Magi, NNT,SNK) I'd give it a 6/10. The series has many good and interesting characters, the fights are very diverse and versatile, and the plot is interesting and engaging. However, Kishimoto's female characters are not nearly as important as the male ones (Sakura) and he has made some very bad and stupid characters imo (Obito and Madara) who wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for stupid things making them turn evil (Curse of Hatred). The pacing of the story can also be very slow at times and even though I like some filler, the overwhelming number of filler that the Anime has drags it down and the way Kishimoto rushed his Manga to the end without giving a very good backstory was also not very good (Seriously, has anyone read Magi? The way they elaborated on their world's origin and past was amazing. Kishi needs to take notes). So that's I give it a 6 out of 10.
