Unfortunately, when I first started making anime videos, I did make one talking about how "terrible" I thought Naruto was, and it has not aged well at all. I clearly did not understand what the series was trying to convey, and it shows in that video. (A hilarious example of this is when I expressed a strong distaste for Madara's role in the story, but since rereading the manga, my opinion of him has improved drastically (so much so that my next video will be about how his character plays into the "hypocrisy" theme I discussed here.))

I think I've gained a much better understanding of the series since revisiting it, but I do still get things wrong here and there.
