What Made the Naruto Anime so Popular?
A number of factors that made the Naruto anime massive beyond a Western interest. It would have been the first anime for many who watched the series' original run, and they grew up alongside the characters into Shippuden, following the adventures as they matured side by side with Naruto himself. Having such a long attachment and connection to a form of media during its early years of development can subconsciously connect one to it, allowing it to find a place in one's mind and heart beyond its end.
If personal connections to the series are put aside, the story and characters themselves were dynamic, complex and intense, offering a new way to anime combat in the form of unpredictable ninja battles. The Naruto anime was fresh and innovative when it aired and continued to grow with its ingenuity, introducing newer factors that only increased the interest in the series. Creator Masashi Kishimoto did not only write a manga for the readers to enjoy; he created an entire world for fans to become a part of.
It is safe to assume that as the interest in Naruto across the globe continues to grow, there will be more and more media for the franchise, only furthering the series' popularity. While it is a time to celebrate what Naruto was, what it brought and how it changed the anime world, it is also a time to look forward to what else the franchise can bring 20 years after its anime's debut.
