Nabari no Ou - A cheap copy of Naruto or a fantastic Anime?

[AlvoErrado2]

They are two totally different styles and they shouldn't be compared so often just because their storylines come from Ninja traditions. Both have their charm.

I think both derived from the stories of Iga and the Koga clans, so it's like comparing a samurai theme.

My best ninja anime Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou

It may be ,it has a lot of similar things

The manga was better. The anime felt really awkward to me. The opening song was great, though!

 

[pocky12345]

It's the first time I've heard anime with this name. However, I don't think it's copy because Ninja theme is very common in japan.

Enjoyed it a bit in the beginning of the series but it degrade later, but the OP song is one of the best in my list which hooked me to the end (just listening the OP song LOL).
If anyone haven't listened to it please try it :3

How is Nabari no Ou supposed a copy of Naruto? I don't think it is, just because of the ninja theme.

 

[fr3akz111]

exactly! ninja theme isn't owned by naruto

 

[Samidare]

Don't think so, no. As many have said before, just because there are ninjas doesn't make it equal to Naruto. By that logic, Bleach would be a copy of Rurouni Kenshin because there are samurais.

I think the author takes inspiration on naruto and other shounen, but his work is not a coppy, i belive

 

[ThekillingGoku]

I don't see why all series with a shinobi theme have to be put up there with Naruto. So many good shinobi themed anime have gone by over the years, even before Naruto (yes, I'm old enough to remember a time without Naruto )
Also, they did some darker stuff with the same theme like Basilisk.

So no, don't think it's really a copy.

 

[PoiuyZ]

I imagine what you mean, but the only points they have in common are the ninja theme and they have something sealed inside, otherwise they are completely different.

 

[Sagiri-chan]

Just because there are ninjas, it doenst has to be a copy. I mean how many movies in the world are about war, knights, cars etc.
I dont think its a copy, i actually think its kinda good. Not as goo as Naruto but good ^^

 

[CromCruach]

Dont mean to be hipster but personally i think the anime is really good even with the bittersweet ending. It also quite funny that i dont realize it yaoi genre.
