neutral · AI labelView post →Road to Ninja is the best #Naruto movie I’ve seen yet. It’s a legitimately great movie with a compelling plot, great emotional moments, and awesome action. Why couldn’t they all be this good?! 😩 #NarutoShippuden #Anime

neutral · AI labelView post →This opening marked the return of the Asian Kung-Fu Generation to the Naruto series after thirteen years!!!! That's why I rank it so high, you have no idea what this meant to me. (They actually returned for Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie, but that doesn't count)
neutral · AI labelView post →It really is funny how Kishimoto only ending up creating them because of the Road to Ninja movie, the premise of said film being Naruto being stuck in a Limited Tsukuyomi AU world where Sakura’s dad became Hokage instead of Naruto’s dad. Thus butterflying effecting everyone else’s personalities.
neutral · AI labelView post →Pause. So yeah, after that scene(s) Shippuden ep311 "Prologue Road to Ninja" feels like mandatory viewing before the movie, not sure about ep271 Road to Sakura yet still. so I'm going to write down in my read-along watch along guide something like "watch 311, then start M#9, 9 minutes in. #NinjaYog
neutral · AI labelView post →For Vio it was mostly Stocking from Panty&Stocking and Hinata from the Naruto movie Road to Ninja. For Eva it was Manuela from Fire Emblem Three Houses and Marin from My Dress Up Darling
neutral · AI labelView post →Just saying, in the Road to Ninja movie bizarro world Sasuke’s main character trait was being a womanizer. What does this tell us about main universe Sasuke
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t think I remember this from original Naruto.. it’s more Shippuden or Road to Ninja movie? I’ll know when I see it for myself. But Shinobi Tsunade interests me.
neutral · AI labelView post →New Xbox Perk, you can now get 4 #Naruto movies: Blood Prison, Road To Ninja, Naruto The Last and Boruto: The Naruto Movie. This #anime perk is available until March 17th
neutral · AI labelView post →This reminds me of Hinata in the Road to Ninja movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →189. Road to Ninja - Naruto the Movie (anime): a concept somewhat ill-fitted to film - too limited in scale to explore the alternate reality more thoroughly while too lax when a film would otherwise necessitate more urgency, leading to a really tacked on villain. Some nice moments, runs smooth. 5/10
neutral · AI labelView post →Now regarding the movies i am missing all of the Naruto movies & i have Road to Ninja, The Last: Naruto the Movie & Boruto: Naruto the Movie but i am missing Blood Prison, Bonds, The Lost Tower, Shippuden Movie 1 & The Will of Fire

neutral · AI labelView post →The late Kobayashi Tsuneo directs The Last. It's an improvement over Road to Ninja. I remember how they kept this film under wraps for so long lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Road to Ninja is directed by Date Hayato, the series director of NARUTO and the first series director of NARUTO Shippuuden. This movie had a rushed production and was being produced at the same time that Tsuru was directing six movie-level episodes for the animated series, so it looks worse lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Road to Ninja was the only good Naruto Movie
positive · AI labelView post →32. The Last: Naruto The Movie cute movie but I wish it had less fighting and high stakes and was just sol / cute stuff. Road to Ninja is better but this gets points for the romance.
positive · AI labelView post →22. Road to Ninja: Naruto The Movie going from the third movie to this is such a drastic jump in quality Enjoyed my time with this : )
positive · AI labelView post →The first one is like Naruto filler distilled into its purest form. I think it's very fun. Movie 3 is fun. The Shippuden movies are generally alright. They're a fun watch but nothing crazy. I'd say the first one, and yeah Road to Ninja. Road to Ninja just IS the best Naruto movie period.
positive · AI labelView post →5) Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie A nice what if movie with some very nice moments with Narutos parents. Tho it would've been nice to see more of the Kakashi if his life didn't suck
positive · AI labelView post →So, short answer: I think after One Piece Film: Strong World was marketed on "looking like Oda drew it" it became a sort of industry-wide thing for a LOT of shounen anime, which I think is a major shame. This hit NARUTO starting with Road to Ninja, too. It replaced Tsuru's original film, Chikara >
neutral · AI labelView post →movie 1? honestly pretty good, I'll go to bat for it movie 3? some gorgeous animation and a great Rock Lee fight scene but movie 2, man you'd think I'd be into it just for its team, but sadly no I did like Road to Ninja and The Last well enough, though
positive · AI labelView post →Excluding Road to Ninja cause it's just unfair. Probably movie 3, but I also like the first Shippuden movie a lot.
neutral · AI labelView post →Road To Ninja is some of the best Sakura content EVER, and guess who is barely in the movie? Sasuke. Sasuke is an incredible character. One of the best Kishi ever wrote. He also actively makes her writing worse just by being around and that's unfortunate.
