Naruto What happened to the Anime

[SilverBack354]

I haven't watched the Anime for Naruto since the Naruto vs Pain fight and decided that enough episodes had piled up that I can watch it and have it be bearable with skipping fillers. What has happened to the animation quality of the show. I've played the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games (loved the music in 3) and the only thing that goes through my mind when I'm watching the Anime is that this would be so much better if they got the guys doing the video games to do the anime instead. It feels like the feels like the people doing the animation for the TV version of Naruto are just going through the motions and aren't really trying at all to do a good job.

I just want to know am I the only person who thinks that the Naruto video games are doing the series more justice than the anime?

Money and time. You don't have to think further than that. Any weekly long running series has shit animation quality in comparison to other series running at the same time or specially made sequences for games.

The answer is obvious, that is why no one asks the question.

Yeah, I used to bitch about the anime a fair bit. Then I just kinda gave up. I know why but it's sad to see. Especially since even on a bad day, the quality of Bleach was higher despite being a similar kind of show (though it has 200 less episodes than Naruto at this point).

Funny you should mention the games.

The Studio barely cares.

Plus, they have a stable audience no matter what because the manga is popular so why bother putting actual effort in the animation?

Some episodes have some decent animation but those are far from the norm. Worse is that some of those are filler, like that Power filler-arc they did.

And yes, the video games are awesome.
