Why Naruto Feels So Damn Good to Watch

Beginning as a serialized manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in September of 1999, the Naruto show would first premiere in October of 2002, and the Naruto brand would go on to become one of the most iconic anime, and arguably fictional brands, in the world. The series follows the journey of Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja with dreams of becoming the strongest ninja and leader of his village, known as the Hokage.

When I think back on this show, there’s a welling up of emotions I get, and reminiscing on my time watching the show brings about a question: what is it about this show that, for lack of a better term, hits so different? I’ve watched many shows, yet no show seemed to consistently bring about that same emotional high that this show brought me time and again. It was only with reflection and research I concluded that Naruto continuously establishes earned moments of extravagant catharsis in a way I have yet to experience from a show since.

In this video, we will explore why Naruto is the most cathartic show that I have ever watched.
