Article is mostly solid with some instances of words to watch per WP:OFCOURSE. It is recommended to avoid words like "however", "though", "but", "while", etc. Here are the ones I noticed:

"However, reviewers appreciated its strong fight scenes, character dynamics, and emotional depth."

"Mike Hale of The New York Times described the Naruto anime as much better than American animation aimed at children, but the animation received some criticism from both the THEM Anime Reviews critics: Christina Carpenter felt Kishimoto's artistic style translated poorly into animation, and Derrick Tucker was also negative, though he felt that at their best, the depictions "[left] little to be desired".[114] As with the manga, some reviewers, such as Theron Martin of Anime News Network, along with Tucker, felt there were too many fight scenes, though Justin Rich argued that the fight scenes were the most important and enjoyable element of the show."

Run on sentences such as the one above also negatively impact the article's readability. Please break up the sentences more. Lastly, this sentence was a bit hard to read.

"Viz Media sold over 3 million anime home video units by 2019 and was third most-watched series in the United States by 2020, while Shippuden series was consistently ranked as one of the most-watched in Japan."

Viz Media is the subject of the sentence yet it says "and was third most-watched series in the United States." This makes it sound like Viz Media was the third most-watched anime, not Naruto. Breaking up the sentences to something like this could help.

"Viz Media sold over 3 million anime home video units by 2019, and Naruto was the third most-watched series in the United States by 2020. The Shippuden series was consistently ranked as one of the most-watched anime in Japan during (time span)."

Article does not have any quick fails. Only thing that I'm concerned about is 1. Well Written in WP:GACR6 for the above reasons. I will not be closing this review yet to allow time for some writing touch ups.

Alrighty I looked through it and the writing issues have been addressed. The article is readable, provides broad coverage and thorough overview with sources to verify. Good article status will be granted. Congratulations. Urchincrawler (talk) 07:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
