Honestly the thing that makes me love Naruto, as well as others, is that you can see a character evolving and a person on hos journey. Of course in a movie or in other TV series you have to rush because you only have one episode to introduce the hero and maybe explain his story afterwards with flashbacks, dreams etc. But in Naruto you witness his progress and minor details, who are still somehow important. Just like every person battles through ups and down the length of the whole naruto series makes you feel more like time is close to being real life time then just fast forward, slow down, fast forward, slow down. I love that about it, achieving your goal isn't always grinding everyday to the fullest. Most days dor sure, but some days you have to take time to goof around with friends and battle with sexy jutsu (the last one may not apply IRL)
Thanks for reading my thoughts.
Stay healthy everyone :)
