  1. Hell yeah dude. Awesome work, well worth the wait. I can tell you left a lot on the table, which just tells me about how much this meant to you, but I know you don’t want to turn into a Naruto channel, regardless of however much you’ve got left in the tank. Which in terms of content, I’m sure is plenty, but as for energy, is 0, because the effort here is clear. I can’t wait for season 2, and to see you similarly absorbed by whatever you choose for its finale!

  2. its so nostalgic to see these characters and their stories again. this just feels like home. i used to watch the old naruto on tv back when i was a kid and years later i watched both completely back to back. thank you for bringing back old memories <3

    also, still love the jokes and memes even though i dont get many of these references to other movies xD

  3. Hashirama the worst character in Naruto, dude is a failed Naruto who failed very badly and he’s a Mary Sue who’s strong for no reason and has powers no one else has for no reason he strong for no reason unlike people like madara who spent their whole lives training and obtaining power and power ups
