It wasn't the focus on Rock Lee that I wanted...
As someone who has always really liked Classic Naruto, I always felt that Rock Lee deserved more attention. He was one of the most charismatic and inspiring characters in the first phase of the work, starring in some of the most memorable moments of the entire franchise. Precisely for this reason, when I discovered the existence of Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden, I imagined that I would finally have the opportunity to see more of the character's adventures and perhaps even a development that he never received properly in Naruto Shippuden.
But that's not exactly what I found.
Instead of a story focused on Rock Lee as a ninja, his challenges or his evolution, the series chooses to transform him into the protagonist of a co…

If you don't expect the funniest jokes of the century and can live with the same basic story over and over again (a (stupidified) Orochimaru tries to destroy Konoha, just to be stopped by Lee, Tenten and Neji - and also "guest-stars" from all of Naruto Shippuden), it's pretty enjoyable:
Similiar to "Family Guy", there are a lot of cutaways (Rock Lee's non-chakra version of genjutsus) which present the characters in recurring roles (e.g. Neji being shown as a school-girl or as his alter ego "Nejiko") that deviate a lot from their usual personalities.
Just be warned: The 2nd season's opening song is one of the worst you'll ever hear.

BEST SHOW ♡♡♡ for Rock Lee fans
Super hilarious, with lots of inside jokes and cool imitation and references. Rock Lee is super adorable, but not as funny as Orochimaru in the show, who is constantly thinking of stupid ways to "destroy" Konoha. I love this show so much, every episode every line is amazing, no stupid recap or filler like the original Naruto show (sorry not sorry!). I always can't stop giggling watching this.
The reason why I also appreciate it is because they give characters that are considered side-characters (anyone who isn't Naruto or Sasuke) plenty of screentime, so we get to learn more about those lovely characters. This show is ingenious and is perhaps the best spin-off show I have ever watched.
I give this show a 10/10 and its soundtrack 10/10. A show that is tru…

It was quite okay for random watching but seeing entire thing wasn't really interesting.
The show was more like a bunch of random episodes without any connection whatsoever. Most of the time you can see Orochimaru doing pretty stupid things or just Lee making skits in some kind of situation while completely missing out the point. I guess the best part was a fight in the last episode, despite still not showing that happens to Sasuke in the end.
I know that it was supposed to be a comedy but it didn't made me laugh even once.
Overall, it's worth 4 between 5.

I'm not going to pretend this is some 21st century masterpiece. It's just as much of a cash grab as Boruto but at least it's funny as hell. I recommend you watch it subbed bc some of the english voice actors don't line up. Neji, Tenten, and Lee still sound the same so the dub is somewhat passable.
The show is basically just a bunch of Naruto-related comedy sketches of Rock Lee going around Konoha with the consistent side cast being TenTen- resident straight man, and Neji - resident cross dresser. There are some cute and heartwarming moments but it's mostly just for laughs.
The extra time we get to spend with Team Guy is 100% enjoyable and a sorely needed departure from all the ninja war bullshit. 10/10 would recommend.
Also TenTen is 10/10 best girl.

just to let you know, i watched this anime in english dub
this should only be watched if you want to have a bit of a laugh. my rating is low as i want to rate everything equally. i dont want to be too biased. there really isn't any stable plot, honestly, what are you expecting from this naruto shippuden spin off?
the art is not the same as normal naruto series but i like the simplicity of the art, making them really small and kinda cute.
i really like the music and stuff in the middle of an episode where there's a short break where it shows tenten, lee or neji doing one of their signature moves.
the characters are really funny, especially rock lee. rock lee is what makes this so funny.
overall, i enjoyed this anime, had lots of laughter.
but to not be too biased on liking comedy ani…

Seeing many not-so-praising reviews of this show, I felt compelled to write a review, although it's something I rarely do.
You may call me biased, but I.LOVE.THIS.SHOW. It has, without a doubt, become of my favorite shows. This may be due to the fact that I'm a pretty hardcore Naruto-fan, but none the less, I really do believe this show deserves major credits.
Story
There's no real plot (although Orochimaru continuously tries to crush Konoha), but other than that, it's just Rock Lee (as the main character), hanging out with everyone else in the village.
It's a collection of smaller stories, and each one is absolutely hilarious. If I find this due to the "small brains - small pleasures"-principal, I'll let remain unsaid, but the humour gets me every time.
I see many people complain about…

Story-7
--------------
The story here is just a retread through various Naruto plot points plus some random stories, but different. Different in that Rock Lee and crew(neji/tenten) are the main characters of this show, and instead of following the story, it's all about making jokes, gags, and crazy random stuff. Well me, being somewhat familiar with Naruto, I love it, and I don't know a show that would be better suited for this kind of thing.
Art-8
-----------
I love animes that break the mold of what anime should look like(panty and stocking, tekkonkinkreet, and more i'm sure). This, while not being completely original, makes chibi art it's own, and I find it fun to watch, beautiful, and extremely hilarious. I have a new appreciation for chibi art.
Sound-7

Great opening…

This show was what I looked forward to every Tuesday.
Do you like Naruto? Do you like Naruto Shippuden? (pretty much the same thing, but whatever) Because I like both, and this show was the highlight to my Tuesday whenever I got home from school.
The show just finished yesterday, and honestly, I was gonna cry myself a river because I was so sad it was ending.
Lucky for you, as long as you know the characters in Naruto, you can pick up the show in any episode you want and you would still be able to follow what was going on. It has no definite plot line, just a show centered around Team Guy and a bunch of short stories.
The first 5/6 of the show is the best thing ever. Neji cross dresses all the time, which is amazing to watch if you're a Neji fan and I laughed so hard every time he did…
