For part 1 Sakura, the story acknowledges several times that she’s useless and the little she wins she gets, she can’t even do it on her own. The story very much puts intentionally puts her that and up until the first arc in shippuden. It’s a cohesive story arc. Rn Sakura is still half assing. She doesn’t even want to become a shinobi. Just because she’s useless in part 1 doesn’t make it bad especially considering she’s in only 1 arc and half.
Kingjasco
Lmao Gang signs and Prayers
Johan Liebert
That's literally what they do. Haha.
Johan Liebert
Nah.
Johan Liebert
Rightfully so. The pacing is bad and I don't care if the rest of the crew like it.
Johan Liebert
Simp.
Johan Liebert
Nah.
Johan Liebert
@Charlie Henriksson Nah, we'll keep asking until they do.
Johan Liebert
@Cory Ng Nah, we'll keep asking until they do.
Johan Liebert
@Jack Mapstone. Nah, we'll keep asking until they do.
Johan Liebert
It's always your fault for accepting the hype. Stop being a fanboy.
Johan Liebert
If you really want to experience the same thing we did back then, watch the fillers too. Also, in what world does shortening something from 5 years to 2,5 years count as binging? Stop being stubborn and do two reactions in a week already.
Charlie Henriksson
yeah their avatar did that and somehow that made them not want to do that again. i wonder why though its 48minutes not more than regular live action episode show times. But 1 episode a week works too.
Julia Macleod
I love nauto!
Katzennahrung
Shane <3
MihoKiryu
@Medunuuu :D right? i think at least 6 years :D i dont think any of us will be here i hope at least they will be still here and have even bigger success but i hope i will be not here because i will have real life :D :D
Bryan Matola
Not the whole reaction, just their reaction to the song.
Dboy
soooo slowwww
n p
The new opening song is much better and one of the best anime openings ever... Guys are just biased because they made a "bit" out of the terrible first opening.
Matthew Elijah Brown
Glad to see Eric is open to the song change, in the American release we didn’t even have Rocks, we had Rise, Power! and that lasted for the first 52 episodes before switching to this new song (Haruka Kanata). Lots of people like Rise, Power! better than Rocks, but I think a lot of that is nostalgia, kind of like Rock the Dragon for DBZ
Lairdom
I was thinking we would get THE fight as a christmas present but I think its a few weeks off.
YaBoiBrandon
Skip the reaction? If your worried their gonna trash on it I hope you know it’s only jokes because of their attachment to the first one and Eric even compliments it. Plus they barely even talk about it enough to rag on it. I wouldn’t skip but you can do what you want.
YaBoiBrandon
They’ll (some of them) probably come around on it. They are just really attached to the first one
Matthew Elijah Brown
Before I even start the video, very happy to see Shane’s back!!!
MelanieRS
I agree! Best naruto Op and they act like they don't give it even a second lol. But it was funny to see nevertheless. I guess the moral is not to go into reaction videos expecting them to react like you did. :)
Arimpact
I wish they like the song but I find it hilarious they don't like it. As someone who loved the song growing up this is an oddly refreshing reaction to it for me. After all, they aren't watching this at the ages we watched it.
Blackwing007
Yooooooo welcome back Shane
AnEnthusiasticKoala
You're posting cringe
Chase Gardner
This is one anime that I seen over and over and Naruto's story is one of the most important and beautiful story telling for an anime for me. I'm trying watching Naruto the blindwave way watching it once a week. I never done it that way. I love the zabuza arc even more now. But I like the chunin exam arc even better.
Agreed
He is going to struggle with this show then lol
chris crookham
Also yay 7 more months till the best fight in naruto
DAki
I actually appreciate how much they want more from Sakura and don’t just write her off 😭
chris crookham
Sakura doesnt see chakra she has excellent chakra control and book knowledge. seeing chakra is a whole different thing
DAki
They may be similar but the Chunin exams beats Hunter exams every time...just saying
Herberderber
hah, the funeral you had at the end for the old op was sweet
GoldArthur
"If it takes the next year of our lives to get through this exam..." Me: "A little more, actually"
MihoKiryu
happy you back Shane :)
MihoKiryu
they will not react to aot final season trailer they dont want to be spoiled
Brian R
yeah thats true
GoFree4
Given how much its gives away simply in character design and general story direction they've be warned to avoid it, so even if a dub version comes out they likely won't watch it so they can go into S4 completely Blind
Brian R
ty for letting me know, i almost got my hopes up for it
Medunuuu
They won’t get to this point for years. You could probably tell them this & they’ll probably forget when it does happen
Chase Gardner
The whole genin family is back together in the wavecave! To watch more Naruto! Believe it!!
Ryan Hopkins
To AB, I didn't cut them listening to it. I included excerpts of their reactions to it because I can't include the whole thing on Youtube under Fair Use.
DAki
Lol true
DAki
Eric has the right idea. Kishimoto literally writes all his female characters into dirt. Their only focus is men and that’s it. Ive also noticed that the girls in Naruto can never win their own battles solo. In one of his interviews Kishimoto was asked why Sakura never played a bigger role (something like that) and he jokingly said ‘she’s just a girl’.....that speaks volumes to me.
AnEnthusiasticKoala
Lmao Sakura is a shit character in both Naruto and Shippuden. The same goes for pretty much every other female character as well, excluding Tsnuade.
Brian R
alright thanks, never realized that😭
Gavin Mcfadden
They only react to dub.
Pucki
one of the best opening next to fighting dreamers and calvin walks away and doesnt see the genin guitar show off which is pretty epic for an opening at the same time i'm glad shane is back
DAki
Lol the opening reaction was kinda funny but reading the comments about it is funnier.
Bekss
Seems like Calvin is the only one who has a real problem with the shonen pacing. All of them know its not great but Aaron loves taking its time watching something, Eric just kind of ignores it, and Shane and Rick truly grew up with japanese videogame pacing.
Kingjasco
Also to Note Sakura is not a main character. She is main supporting character, she’s in the same category as Neji and Shikamaru. She is only in one and a half arcs for the whole this first Naruto series.
Kingjasco
I don’t think she was written badly in part 1. I think her issues are in part 2
Brian R
so they only react to dub trailers?
Lawliet
I don’t know if the Dub version of the trailer came out
HIM
I thought about this when Shane brings up Haku. Oh, How I loved that character
Brian R
random question but did they react to atot finale season trailer?
HIM
SHANE'S BACK!!! YEEAAHH! YEEAAHH! The balance has been restored 🐱👓👍EDIT:🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Eric and Calvin walking away at the same time, without even looking at each other had me DED lmao! Holy shit, that was funny 😂👍 and even if this OP doesn't grow on them, they're gonna LOVE LOVE LOVE sambomaster 👍 Believe it!
Timmytoby
Sakura was written badly in Naruto, the things she does in the chunin exams are pretty boring and doesn't add any character growth. A lot better in Shippuden and has one of the best arcs.
Shane
Two episodes a week for a 130 episode, 20 minute show is far from binging. I think it's a good compromise to satisfy fans while still keeping the reactions going over at least a few years, especially with Shippuden
Coco
The new opening will grow on them guys, they didn't necessarily dislike the opening they just disliked the change from the old one.
Coco
I'm sure it'll grow on them XD
JojoInSpace
I think it's more missing the old OP than disliking the new one. Give it time, folks. Give it time. They got really, really attached to the old one (and you might not always see *how* attached unless you have full length). That said, this OP was definitely my favorite as a kid. :D
GoldArthur
The Zabuza arc is the only arc that's been completed so far, so that's a weird question to ask.
JojoInSpace
Well, they've been dreading a change and loving OP 1 (surprisingly) for weeks and weeks now, so I was expecting this. :D I'm sure (some of them) will get around to it eventually.
GoldArthur
I'm a little disappointed that they didn't like the 2nd opening, but I also get it.
Scrimshaw
this show is pretty much full send from this point forward. Excited for the next year
Kingjasco
The thing is at this point Sakura is not that interested or motivated to be a ninja. So while she has some good points that she could use better. Being a ninja is not her priority. Over the course of this first part of the series, that’s her arc essentially. Sakura can’t be useful until she chooses to be useful, she has to make a conscious effort whereas right now she’s just a passenger and is only really interested in Sasuke
Gazille
Loads of people want them to do 2 or more episodes a week but it's never going to happen
Bryan Matola
I’m glad I read the comments. This intro got me so pumped as a kid. Now I know to skip.
Golisopod95
One of the iconic Naruto opening next to Fighting Dreamers
Nilexinator
SPOILERS FOR SHIPPUDEN cant wait for the ressurection jutsu to kick in and they be like: who is this. did we see them before?
VanguardDuelist
Pretty much. Then she won’t do something else until shippuden
Bryan Matola
One thing, and then another thing, then a minor third thing. She does exactly one thing for each arc left in the Chunin exams.
Cory Ng
Every week, I look forward to your new synonym!
VanguardDuelist
Don’t worry Eric. Sakura will get to do stuff during this arc.
Jack Mapstone
And it’s not gonna happen. They tried doing that in the past and it doesn’t work, so we only get one.
Votten
Lads 2 episodes a week would be superb!
KevinFromNewYork
It's 26 episodes in. What is serious about this show so far? Besides the Zabuza stuff which they took seriously.
Ruben Lopez
Not gonna lie that was a bizarre reaction to the best naruto op. And that's why you don't hype certain things up folks.
Bekss
They always get too attached to the first openings and dont like the next one for a few weeks. I can imagine the people's rage when they didnt like it right away
John T
Fr tho the second op is perhaps my favorite
James Sibonga
A little sad they didn't like this opening. This one is probably my favorite from the original naruto series, and is super nostalgic to me from when I was younger.
Abide
Paris Williams
Welcome back Shane!
Able
It will happen literally every time for the next few weeks. Wish the editor didn’t cut out them listening to it again!
Matthew Cronin
It bothers me how much they dislike the first good intro
