Prefer the original. Back when Itachi was portrayed as a pure villain, he looks so much more imposing & his eyes look more eerie, Shippuden version post knowing why he did what he did understandably lacks the intimidating Venom emanating like the original had.
The original has way more intense expressions. I also prefer the lighting, like how chidori has that blue glow that underlights Sasuke's face. Everything feels much more immersive.
They couldn't use the old stuff cause it was done in 4:3 ratio while shippuden switched to the 16:9 ratio around episode 80. Also episodes for shippuden are started to be rendered in higher resolution around that time. So yeah, they had to redraw a lot of scenes and most of them looked much worse. Drawing quality on average was better in the original, imo.

1:55 the shot of Itachi is absolutely terrifying in the original the piercing red eyes and the intimidating stare like dude looks like a real villain. In the remake he kinda looks only mildly irritated like if he were reading in the library and someone farted, not intimidating at all. Like someone said in another comment, I think it’s because back then we (including the anime staff at the time probably) all thought he really was this evil dude, and so was portrayed as such.
Yep. True! Kishimoto didn’t really know what to do with Itachi. In the original scene, he really was the bad guy until the author changed his mind long after this scene was written.
@@ragnarock3901 Some things are better and more detailed in the original and some things in the shuppuden version. I don't think there's a clear cut better animated one.
Itachi looks more menacing in the original 2:20 he looks emotionless, disappointed and seems more intimidating. He’s giving a coldstone and superior look. It looks like he will strike any moment and he knows it will be successful. But in shippuden he looks more emotional and expressive. It removes that villainous vibe. I think the original looks way better in my opinion. They depicted him incredible because he does look formidable in the original.
I think it's the soundtrack and not knowing about Itachi back then and plus the way Crispin Freeman voiced him made Itachi seem more like a serious threat
Itachi, he provided information indirectly to Jiraiya about Akatsuki's intentions towards the Jinchuuriki because of the Biju within them... Whether Jiraiya understands or not, at least we as readers and viewers know what he means...
Jiraiya wasn't completely sure about the Akatsuki's true intentions, but Itachi was subliminally relaying Intel to Jiraiya as to let the village know the Akatsuki's number 1 target is the 9 tailed fox.
At the time original was airing, kishimoto hadnt thought about itachi being an anti hero and he was actually a villain. Also in the original, itachi is drawn way more coldly and emotionless
That’s not true kishimoto never stated that , also the fact that Itachi spared kakashi’s life when based on kakashi words he could have killed him with tsukoyomi show that he was already written as a good guy, not mentioning that he also told kurenai and asuma that he didn’t want to kill them and the fact that he gave jiraya important confidential informations on the akatsuki goals and that purposefully avoid the fight with him when he could have beat him with kisame ( Itachi is above sannin level he easily beated orochimaru twice and kisame is perfect jinchuriki killer bee level) can also prove the point that he was already written as an anti hero or anti villain , he is clearly a grey character not purely white or black
@@AkatsukiClash That’s why I said that he is a grey character, his objective are noble but the method he use are quite radicale , I mean he did put kakashi and sasuke in a coma but in the end he didn’t kill them when he was able to, also as an anbu member he did a lot of harsh things, and when he was accused of killing Shisui he was ready to kill the uchiha police members and even his father he was stopped in his anger by the sight and the words of young Sasuke. He was never implied to be a hero or a villain, he is an type of anti hero and anti villain and that is way more realistic behaviour for a ninja, a spy or a soldier to have than being juste purely good or bad.
Originally, Kishimoto had planned on Itachi just being an evil person who gave Sasuke a reason to want to kill him. This soon changed, however, when Kishimoto decided to make Itachi a member of the ANBU Black Ops, a squad of covert assassins for the Hidden Leaf. He received more character development once shippuden started.
He'd thought about it, but he hadn't revealed or committed to it yet. I read an interview where he said he conceived Itachi as an evil villain and he remained as such in the Land of Waves arc, but he started thinking it would be cool if Itachi had some ulterior motive and wasn't so bad when he actually introduced him properly (i.e. around about this arc here). But it's not until the fight in Part 2 and the aftermath with Tobitomadara that this is actually a part of the story proper- if he'd decided to keep Itachi evil, he easily could have.
true and if they change it real they destroy little the point on the story like that i hate the new one for what they change it that was super stupid the original was the best for me too
Kishi DEFINITELY had no idea that Itachi was going to be a hero at the end. Rewatching this, he’s the most cruel and evil character we’ve seen up to this point
I do agree a bit about it in a way but i do think he did planned a bit for the hero thing (more like a backup plan that didn't had enough thought during part 1)
"Itachi Is a good guy. You just don't understand. " Itachi the good guy: *throws his baby brother into a hellish nightmare loop that he would've been stuck in if it wasn't for Tsunade*
3:53 i like how in the OG itachi looks so cold and emotionless,like when he's beating up sasuke so efortlessly it doesn't even look like he's putting any strenght in his punches.
i miss OG naruto, the darker tones were just there.. the OST hit different aswell, along with the eerieness that Itachi had back then. we thought bro was the final boss already besides orochimaru 😂
Can i mention the ultimate Ninja games on ps2n How terrifying he was? With the music, Ultimate Jutsu, and his quotes? Thats how i literally got into naruto. Picked up a brand new copy of ultimate Ninja 2 from gamestop
It's very obvious he wasn't going to be the final boss because obito and madara were already established characters obito named was dropped in the first arc in the story
Los personajes se veían tan geniales en el original, solo con ver a Gaara, Neji, los 5 del sonido, Orochimaru arrancándose la máscara cuando se enfrenta al tercer Hokage, cuando Sabuza se quita las vendas de su boca, tachi. Esa sensación de terror y ansiedad me hubiera encantado verla en Shippuden, Naruto Shippuden solo pude verlo como un shonen más aunque cuando cuando Naruto se enfrentó a paint no estubo para nada mal. Pero en Naruto og la sensación de peligro era más permanente y te hacía pensar mas profundamente que el mundo ninja es realmente crudo.
@@chriswilliams3110 literally bro, once itachi was introduced it really pushed me to buy the naruto games on the ps2, i wanted them before but it just encouraged me to beg my mom even more
I overall like the original better, like the faces are sharper and the lightning like from the chidori here 2:10 - 2:37 looks more ominous, though you could see sasuke's skin peeling off much clearer on the remake. The remake has some sick shots at places though, like 1:23, 4:26, 9:59 or that angle at 6:08 is pretty good too. I think once enough time has passed, someone gonna pick up OG Naruto for a remake and if it's gonna be in seasons, I can't wait to see how they'll adapt many of the darker and gory elements of older Naruto with higher animation quality.
The original art style is so much better! It was so iconic for naruto. Shippuden style is more like a generic anime, while still pretty it's not as iconic as the original one. Those faces and hair in original were beautiful.
O Naruto Clássico possui melhores enquadramentos e melhores escolhas artísticas, embora seja limitado pela época. Acredito que o mérito vai para o profissional que foi responsável por montar os sketches antes de animar.
this is because of the animation style changing between the original series and the latter part of shippuden. they reanimated a bunch of old scenes from part 1 as flashbacks in filler episodes.
Lol. He's just talking. Imagine thinking Itachi is a good guy while watching him grape Sasukes mind by throwing him in that hellish, seeing his clan and parents be butchered...and going, "wow Itachi was really good from the beginning." That's you.
While I do like that Shippuden had more consistent characters shot for shot, the original has better expressions and reaction shots. For example, Sasuke getting up to face Itachi after his wrist was broken while stumbling like a drunk was better in the original; Itachi slowly grabbing him by the neck looked a bit better in Shippuden, like a villain from a slasher movie. I honestly wish we got a "Naruto Kai" type series, that fully remade the entirety of Naruto (from Part 1 all the way to the end of Shippuden), with new animation and fixing a few plot holes. Something that would have the much more consistent animation shot for shot like modern anime (no weird-eye Naruto in the Forest of Death or play-dough Pain), while still keeping the extremely expressive reaction shots from Part 1. Itachi should be depicted as much colder and darker like Part 1, but with his Mangekyou present (like Shippuden) and his finalized character design (his hair got much longer). Similarly, older scenes would be redone to be congruent with how stuff is depicted later. For example, the tomoe in Kakashi's sharingan start spinning during his fight with Zabuza in the Land of Waves arc, whereas they never seem to do this in the rest of the series. Also when Orochimaru summons a giant snake in the forest of death, there's a large swirling tornado effect; summoning jutsu makes a poofy cloud of smoke when used in the rest of the series, *not* a tornado. As for plot holes, that really just comes up to tweaking some dialogue. If something doesn't make sense to say or gets contradicted later in the series, a lot of times characters don't even have to say it, so keep those characters quiet. For example: When Guru-guru dies and Yamato's body falls out of him, Hiruzen says "Yamato...?" but that doesn't make sence, since "Yamato" is a codename given to him by Tsunade *AFTER* Hiruzen died; it'd make more sense for Hiruzen to say "Tenzo...?" which is Yamato's actual name, and something Hiruzen *would* have known before dying. The same goes for Hashirama noting Sakura's abilities surpassing Tsunade. How would he know that? He died when she was a kid. Either Hashirama should've stayed quiet or somebody else (Hiruzen probably) should've made the comment. Obito's mangekyou is another one. Simple fix, just *don't* show his eye when he uses kamui. That way his MS being the same as Kakashi's isn't spoiled, but there's still no weird plot inconsistency with him using Kamui with his base Sharingan. Then just cut the filler, cut the flashbacks, give more relevant downtime arcs, give the side characters more screentime, have the side characters do more, etc. What I mean by the downtime arcs is: show the characters interacting day-to-day without progressing the plot, but not in a filler-y kinda way. Let the characters naturally interact, let the viewer get to know them as a person, etc. Show Team-7 going on more missions together (doesn't have to be too detailed) so that they're actually a bonded team; make them feel closer so that Sasuke's betrayal is more impactful. If you just watch the canon episodes, it feels like Team-7 forms, Land of Waves, then immediately goes to the Chunin Exams, then Sasuke leaves, all in like a month's time. That's way too fast, and the filler doesn't really do it any justice. Make them look a bit younger in the first couple of episodes (about 10 or 11) and older by the time they go to the Chunin exams (12 to 13), so we can see that time has passed and they've grown together as a team. Show Sasuke saving Karin in the Forest of Death. Show Team-7 being a TEAM, but in a way that doesn't feel like useless filler. Make it feel natural. Just one arc between Land of Waves and the Chunin Exams, showing either a couple of smaller missions or one big mission, maybe both, but either way it should bond Team-7 together by the time of the Exams, during which they should be closer. Like I said, Sasuke leaving the village should be painful, it should feel a lot bigger than it feels in the anime. I'm rewatching the series with my dad who hasn't seen it, and we're watching the canon episodes. Sasuke leaving is impactful but not as much as it should be. For Madara's death: he can still die and introduce Kaguya, but just make it be different. The Black Zetsu backstab is one of the most hated things in anime, and I *guarantee* that Kaguya would've been more liked if Madara wasn't backstabbed by Zetsu. Maybe make him sacrifice his own life to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, maybe have Naruto & Sasuke legitimately beat him and *then* Kaguya comes out, just something better than "idk how to kill him. Um...... RANDOM PLOT BULLSHIT GO!"
I always liked the art style of the original Naruto anime, because it had a unique art style that makes darker moments feel and look actually dark. Something Shippuden seems like it has lost probably after the Pain arc I believe. Animation can leave a lot of impact on the viewer, especially it's art style.
Definitely after Pain arc. When Pain stood over Konoha there was a light shining on him making him look mysterious. They didn’t do that in the anniversary thing. It shows that things would change a lot now. Less ‘scary’ moments
it was always nice to see Naruto caring about Sasuke, even if Sasuke's deal with Itachi should not have involved him... Itachi turned into an Akatsuki member and Naruto just so happened to become team members/close friends with Sasuke
Sheet is always getting worse, little by little. 7:10 Even Itachi's monologue is changed now that we know he's a good guy, it makes no sense, what he thinks here wouldn't change, they had to prolong the scene and show MORE of what Itachi thinks, not changed it.
@@Mighttguyy yes dw, kisame mid diffed bee, and itachi's stronger than kisame, jiraiya is gonna defeat them, thats why jiraiya barely won against 3 paths of pain xd/ Enough with fun, jiraiya can't even get past Kisame ;

A good mix of the two would be nice. The old style captures the cruelty of being a uchiha. It also immerses the audience through its animation. The new style has cleaner lines and more fluid animation at some key frames
3:58 is one of the very few shots where I liked Shippuden more than the original. That front facing staredown with the shadow looks much more intimidating and in line with the evil Itachi of the original. For almost all other scenes though, the original is vastly superior.
This video is perfect for showing how Kishimoto changed Itachi's outcome. In the classic, we can clearly see that his facial expressions are completely different from those in Shippuden. I believe Itachi would be the main villain of the work, but Kishimoto said that he was his favorite character and changed the story in Shippuden a lot to change the outcome of this story.
Itachi wasn't going to be the main villain anyway because obito and madara were already established obito named was mentioned server times and Itachi didn't kill kakasi and sasuke in part one
1:58 kinda cool that in part 1 and in shippuden they still did the comparison that itachi is so much stronger still he still has 3 tomoe in this moment compared to sasuke who still has two tomoe...
Bruh, why didn't i never noticed this before 💀? When put side by side the difference is stark. Original looks so much better and mature even tho it was made 10 years prior, whilst the Shippuden style is a complete joke...it lacks composition, shadowing, texture, angle and color scheme. I've never thought i would see such downfall in the art style such as this 😭.
Naruto before Shippuuden has better and more mature drawing style, coloring is less plastic and whole anime has more interesting direction style. Not to mention about sountrack... Original > Shippuuden
the dynamics between all the adults here is what stands out. Especially after finishing the series. Kisame’s “he’s so merciless” to sell the lie that Itachi is heartless. Itachi directly giving intel to Master Jiraiya about the Akatsuki’s Jinchuriki plan, even Kakashi calling Sasuke to Itachi so he could check on his younger brother while in the village.Time may pass, but a “ninja” never changes.
Prefer the original. Back when Itachi was portrayed as a pure villain, he looks so much more imposing & his eyes look more eerie, Shippuden version post knowing why he did what he did understandably lacks the intimidating Venom emanating like the original had.

Can i mention the ultimate Ninja games on ps2n How terrifying he was? With the music, Ultimate Jutsu, and his quotes? Thats how i literally got into naruto. Picked up a brand new copy of ultimate Ninja 2 from gamestop
It's very obvious he wasn't going to be the final boss because obito and madara were already established characters obito named was dropped in the first arc in the story
Los personajes se veían tan geniales en el original, solo con ver a Gaara, Neji, los 5 del sonido, Orochimaru arrancándose la máscara cuando se enfrenta al tercer Hokage, cuando Sabuza se quita las vendas de su boca, tachi.
Esa sensación de terror y ansiedad me hubiera encantado verla en Shippuden, Naruto Shippuden solo pude verlo como un shonen más aunque cuando cuando Naruto se enfrentó a paint no estubo para nada mal. Pero en Naruto og la sensación de peligro era más permanente y te hacía pensar mas profundamente que el mundo ninja es realmente crudo.
@@ayhamahmad2277 i mean i was a kid at the time, i understood but the way he was potrayed back then was insane
@@chriswilliams3110 literally bro, once itachi was introduced it really pushed me to buy the naruto games on the ps2, i wanted them before but it just encouraged me to beg my mom even more
my jaw dropped at the amaterasu foreshadowing at 6:00
Okay okay original is cool
But that shot at 0:58 I’m preferring shippuden all day, you can just FEEL his rage
Absolutely!
Agreed
nah, original has more emotion there
It’s closer to the manga too.
The original panel has more shading on Sasuke’s face to show how murderous he is in that moment.
Nah cringy edgelord light up eyes in dark trope.
That wasn't even a fight, it's a massacre.
Literally dude
Sasuke with rinnegan would fvck him within few seconds
Naruto 🌝
Naruto Shippuden 🌚
Boruto ☠️
I remember in the early chapters of naruto Manga Itachi just genuinely looked scary everytime he appeared 😱, he brought fear!
I overall like the original better, like the faces are sharper and the lightning like from the chidori here 2:10 - 2:37 looks more ominous, though you could see sasuke's skin peeling off much clearer on the remake.
The remake has some sick shots at places though, like 1:23, 4:26, 9:59 or that angle at 6:08 is pretty good too.
I think once enough time has passed, someone gonna pick up OG Naruto for a remake and if it's gonna be in seasons, I can't wait to see how they'll adapt many of the darker and gory elements of older Naruto with higher animation quality.
1:33 Sasuke was so insane, that in the Shippuden version we can see that he was looking at Itachi and Kisame at the same time 😂😂😂
2:00 Just how ridiculous the new arm movement animation in this runing scene? The OG is so good, so perfect....
The original art style is so much better! It was so iconic for naruto. Shippuden style is more like a generic anime, while still pretty it's not as iconic as the original one. Those faces and hair in original were beautiful.
2:38
Original: *A Chidori, some smoke and debris*
Shippuden: *Blasts out a Chidori looking stronger than Kakashi’s*
Original for me.
2:28 Why didn't they make the fox chakra in Shippuden?
2:04 Old animation was more badass here
3:58 The OG Itachi looked so more menacing. He was looking DOWN on him like trash vs him looking at his little brother
if it ain't broken don't try to fix it
it was broken tho, 4:3 with low resolution how you claim it?
omg seeing chidori peeling sasukes skin off is fye 😂
O Naruto Clássico possui melhores enquadramentos e melhores escolhas artísticas, embora seja limitado pela época. Acredito que o mérito vai para o profissional que foi responsável por montar os sketches antes de animar.
this is because of the animation style changing between the original series and the latter part of shippuden. they reanimated a bunch of old scenes from part 1 as flashbacks in filler episodes.
Scene cadency and composition in the original is better
I overall like the older better it itachi looks more intimidating in here. Like im so immersed into it i feel like im there in person
The original was epic!
Some parts are so beautifully aligned, respect to the OG, they must've did a lot of line pre-recorded
1:22 music goes hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What is the title of that ost ? Pls
@@kivzterz4698 I have no clue
But if you look up Naruto battle music it’s pretty easy to find

3:22 itachi giving jiraiya intel on the akatsuki's goal
Nah thats just another evil character telling his plans like doofenshmirtz.
@@yourfamilyfriendlykid9414 if you watch naruto shippuden you'll understand
@@yourfamilyfriendlykid9414its like if we were saying that óbito gave Naruto Intel about Sasuke when appeared
Behind him 😂
Lol. He's just talking. Imagine thinking Itachi is a good guy while watching him grape Sasukes mind by throwing him in that hellish, seeing his clan and parents be butchered...and going, "wow Itachi was really good from the beginning." That's you.
Original easily
While I do like that Shippuden had more consistent characters shot for shot, the original has better expressions and reaction shots. For example, Sasuke getting up to face Itachi after his wrist was broken while stumbling like a drunk was better in the original; Itachi slowly grabbing him by the neck looked a bit better in Shippuden, like a villain from a slasher movie.
I honestly wish we got a "Naruto Kai" type series, that fully remade the entirety of Naruto (from Part 1 all the way to the end of Shippuden), with new animation and fixing a few plot holes. Something that would have the much more consistent animation shot for shot like modern anime (no weird-eye Naruto in the Forest of Death or play-dough Pain), while still keeping the extremely expressive reaction shots from Part 1. Itachi should be depicted as much colder and darker like Part 1, but with his Mangekyou present (like Shippuden) and his finalized character design (his hair got much longer). Similarly, older scenes would be redone to be congruent with how stuff is depicted later. For example, the tomoe in Kakashi's sharingan start spinning during his fight with Zabuza in the Land of Waves arc, whereas they never seem to do this in the rest of the series. Also when Orochimaru summons a giant snake in the forest of death, there's a large swirling tornado effect; summoning jutsu makes a poofy cloud of smoke when used in the rest of the series, *not* a tornado.
As for plot holes, that really just comes up to tweaking some dialogue. If something doesn't make sense to say or gets contradicted later in the series, a lot of times characters don't even have to say it, so keep those characters quiet. For example: When Guru-guru dies and Yamato's body falls out of him, Hiruzen says "Yamato...?" but that doesn't make sence, since "Yamato" is a codename given to him by Tsunade *AFTER* Hiruzen died; it'd make more sense for Hiruzen to say "Tenzo...?" which is Yamato's actual name, and something Hiruzen *would* have known before dying. The same goes for Hashirama noting Sakura's abilities surpassing Tsunade. How would he know that? He died when she was a kid. Either Hashirama should've stayed quiet or somebody else (Hiruzen probably) should've made the comment. Obito's mangekyou is another one. Simple fix, just *don't* show his eye when he uses kamui. That way his MS being the same as Kakashi's isn't spoiled, but there's still no weird plot inconsistency with him using Kamui with his base Sharingan.
Then just cut the filler, cut the flashbacks, give more relevant downtime arcs, give the side characters more screentime, have the side characters do more, etc. What I mean by the downtime arcs is: show the characters interacting day-to-day without progressing the plot, but not in a filler-y kinda way. Let the characters naturally interact, let the viewer get to know them as a person, etc. Show Team-7 going on more missions together (doesn't have to be too detailed) so that they're actually a bonded team; make them feel closer so that Sasuke's betrayal is more impactful. If you just watch the canon episodes, it feels like Team-7 forms, Land of Waves, then immediately goes to the Chunin Exams, then Sasuke leaves, all in like a month's time. That's way too fast, and the filler doesn't really do it any justice. Make them look a bit younger in the first couple of episodes (about 10 or 11) and older by the time they go to the Chunin exams (12 to 13), so we can see that time has passed and they've grown together as a team. Show Sasuke saving Karin in the Forest of Death. Show Team-7 being a TEAM, but in a way that doesn't feel like useless filler. Make it feel natural. Just one arc between Land of Waves and the Chunin Exams, showing either a couple of smaller missions or one big mission, maybe both, but either way it should bond Team-7 together by the time of the Exams, during which they should be closer. Like I said, Sasuke leaving the village should be painful, it should feel a lot bigger than it feels in the anime. I'm rewatching the series with my dad who hasn't seen it, and we're watching the canon episodes. Sasuke leaving is impactful but not as much as it should be.
For Madara's death: he can still die and introduce Kaguya, but just make it be different. The Black Zetsu backstab is one of the most hated things in anime, and I *guarantee* that Kaguya would've been more liked if Madara wasn't backstabbed by Zetsu. Maybe make him sacrifice his own life to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, maybe have Naruto & Sasuke legitimately beat him and *then* Kaguya comes out, just something better than "idk how to kill him. Um...... RANDOM PLOT BULLSHIT GO!"
Original: Cruel and intimidating💀😈
Remake: Calm and Reasonable❤😂
in the original itachi and kisame looked way more mysterious
I always liked the art style of the original Naruto anime, because it had a unique art style that makes darker moments feel and look actually dark. Something Shippuden seems like it has lost probably after the Pain arc I believe. Animation can leave a lot of impact on the viewer, especially it's art style.
Definitely after Pain arc. When Pain stood over Konoha there was a light shining on him making him look mysterious.
They didn’t do that in the anniversary thing. It shows that things would change a lot now.
Less ‘scary’ moments
They even changed the subtitles, so much effort was put into it!!!! 🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚
it was always nice to see Naruto caring about Sasuke, even if Sasuke's deal with Itachi should not have involved him... Itachi turned into an Akatsuki member and Naruto just so happened to become team members/close friends with Sasuke
Original is better. No questions asked.
Sheet is always getting worse, little by little.
7:10 Even Itachi's monologue is changed now that we know he's a good guy, it makes no sense, what he thinks here wouldn't change, they had to prolong the scene and show MORE of what Itachi thinks, not changed it.
6:39, for those who thinks itachi and kisame were afraid, even kisame knew itachi could kill jiraiya
Itachi can not kill jiraiya lol you just an itachi fan boy
@@Mighttguyy yes dw, kisame mid diffed bee, and itachi's stronger than kisame, jiraiya is gonna defeat them, thats why jiraiya barely won against 3 paths of pain xd/ Enough with fun, jiraiya can't even get past Kisame ;
@ bro what is kisame gonna do against sage mode ?
@@Mighttguyy what is jiraiya gonna do against "Super Exploding Water Shockwave" especially when jiraiya can't enter sage mode that fast, if u believe he'll save time like he did against pain, u are delu once again
@ bro jiraiya have toad summons to get away from that trash ass move. Man you tryna be different thinking kisame can beat jiraiya 😂 you crazy to think kisame can stop jiraiya from going into sage mode when pain couldn’t even do it
2:36 What the hell is wrong with this shippuden animation 💀
glitch XD
A good mix of the two would be nice. The old style captures the cruelty of being a uchiha. It also immerses the audience through its animation. The new style has cleaner lines and more fluid animation at some key frames
3:58 is one of the very few shots where I liked Shippuden more than the original. That front facing staredown with the shadow looks much more intimidating and in line with the evil Itachi of the original. For almost all other scenes though, the original is vastly superior.
“Sasuke made me use tsukiyomi and amaterasu”
- The guy that took him down with 3 basic attacks
This video is perfect for showing how Kishimoto changed Itachi's outcome. In the classic, we can clearly see that his facial expressions are completely different from those in Shippuden.
I believe Itachi would be the main villain of the work, but Kishimoto said that he was his favorite character and changed the story in Shippuden a lot to change the outcome of this story.
Itachi wasn't going to be the main villain anyway because obito and madara were already established obito named was mentioned server times and Itachi didn't kill kakasi and sasuke in part one
1:58 kinda cool that in part 1 and in shippuden they still did the comparison that itachi is so much stronger still he still has 3 tomoe in this moment compared to sasuke who still has two tomoe...
Old is gold 🥇
Bruh, why didn't i never noticed this before 💀?
When put side by side the difference is stark. Original looks so much better and mature even tho it was made 10 years prior, whilst the Shippuden style is a complete joke...it lacks composition, shadowing, texture, angle and color scheme. I've never thought i would see such downfall in the art style such as this 😭.
Cmon! It's not that bad.
@@Vengeancehunter-c7fit is that bad
Have you seen boruto art style 💀
The original seems better to me. More expressive, and itachi is more spoopy
the movement and visual effects are better in shippuden but the character details like faces are better in the OG
0:41 Z-ONE from Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds 😂
Og hits different man🤧 my man Itachi looks hot as shiiiii
Naruto looks so goofy in boruto. I think it’s the Lisa simpson looking hair
the original is literally better in every way, the animation, the art style, even the writing is better.
Original was more cinematic. Naruto & Jiraiya running had better, dynamic angles. Itachi looked more thretening.
Shippuden looks too squeaky clean
Naruto before Shippuuden has better and more mature drawing style, coloring is less plastic and whole anime has more interesting direction style. Not to mention about sountrack...
Original > Shippuuden
Definitely
Definitely, but only the anime,in the manga i prefer shippuden
やっぱ少年期の描き方のが好きだな…この表現力。
当時の熱意が伝わってくる(* ⁰̷̴͈꒳⁰̷̴͈ )✨
サスケの憎しみと、イタチの不気味さ…
イタチに関してもっと深掘ると、目を細め目元に力を込め気が緩まないようにしてそうな所とか、口元もフードで隠して表情読み取れないようにしてたりとか。
the dynamics between all the adults here is what stands out. Especially after finishing the series. Kisame’s “he’s so merciless” to sell the lie that Itachi is heartless. Itachi directly giving intel to Master Jiraiya about the Akatsuki’s Jinchuriki plan, even Kakashi calling Sasuke to Itachi so he could check on his younger brother while in the village.Time may pass, but a “ninja” never changes.
Even tho Itachi is still the most beautiful character in Shippuden he was even more handsome in the original 🥲
This side by side comparison only proves how superior the first series was not only in animation but also score.
8:41 I hate my mind so much...
Nice video as ever.
What's wrong with your mind XD
Wait wtf I’m confused😂
@@swavy653you know lol

Original. His eyes had a more sinister feel , cold & cat like slanted eyes. Relaxed silhouette. Cloak pulled up to his eyes.

That's fantastic, we made a tribute with Itachi & other characters recently ❤
2:21 original solos. ☄️
I never liked how they retconned Itachi later. I wish they had just left him as a ruthless, cold-hearted killer.
8:55 Shippuden 😂
Damn, original is indeed drawn far better with much conviction 🔥
Man I miss the old artstyle... The new one is better for them animating fight scenes but the original artstyle has much more life to it
i LOVE how in shippuden we see Itachi's real motives.. brings a tear to my eye how much he cares about him omg
