Naruto

I know, I know. I'm like 13 years late of this, but I just finished my favorite Anime of all time, Naruto. I was young at the time they're showing it in the Philippines, I hardly remember some of the episodes and I missed a lot of it as well. I'm even familiar with the first few episodes of Naruto Shippuden. 

Anyway, I'd like to share some of my takeaways and realization and probably the theme of Naruto. SPOILERS ALERT!

Bad people can be good people too

Plain and simple. Gaara. 

The least

One of the main storylines that most people can relate to is being the least, being the last, being not good at everything. On failing a lot, being a laughingstock and being mocked. Naruto is known for this and how his story unfolds makes his arc really good. 

The monster within

We all have a monster within, it just how you use it and control it. How you can convert it in goodness. 

Believe in yourself

Naruto has the title of the most unpredictable ninja. That's it. 

Meaning of friendship

The most striking lesson for me is the meaning of friendship and how much it cost. From all the mission and rescue mission, it seems like the top priority is saving lives, regardless of how they just know each other or even if they masks themselves. There was this episode where Naruto met a stranger who had amnesia, so he called him Menma, derived from an ingredient for Ramen that can be found on mountain cliffs where Naruto found him. They both have incredible memories as they have been good people that helped Konoha before leaving. Naruto but then was tricked by Menma, lying about not remembering anything. But knowing Naruto and what Menma did, it magnifies what friendship is. The ending of that episode is such a painful scene as Naruto eats his favorite ramen. This is just one of the many episodes that focus on the value of friendship. Not to mention the story of Sasuke. 

I'm pretty bad a bringing these kinds of some sort of review but that it for now. Naruto has become my favorite Anime, all time.
