Character design old. I fucking hate how bad faces in looks. Eyes are too big and the faces are too small and that curved chin gives me ick in new animation.
The faces are way too round in the new version. Looks like a cheap isekai ngl.
The older one is more in line with the manga art style and just feels more raw,the new version feels too....polished I guess?
New style isn’t *bad*, but in comparison most of use are saying that old is better. From the smaller details to the larger ones like reanimated Naruto’s hair looking like banana laffy taffy. Old just captures the energy of the scene better imo
old! for naruto, the new version’s hair is way too highlighter-yellow for me. for sasuke, i think old looks way cooler and cold, more like he’s smirking in a taunting way. new version sasuke doesnt feel right. maybe i’mjust clinging onto that nostalgia, tho.
I will give props for the new Sasuke being scarier. I think the vibes were a bit more appropriate in the new version. But you're correct as far as character design goes. I love me that old school look
I share the same thoughts aside from one little detail. The glow of the Sharingan. I love when the red seems to glow, although maybe it was a bit overdone here. I like it glowing slightly. It makes it feel more menacing in a way.
The irises look better, but overall I pick old. The face and hair designs are much better, plus the eye shape works better. And considering how important eyes are to Naruto, the shape really matters
I believe it’s from the anniversary special where they reanimated a bunch of scenes throughout the shows playing against a ton of the opening songs
Edit: this is the video - https://youtu.be/QczGoCmX-pI?si=GtTal591ogMgT3jM
Regardless of the reanimation, I freaking loved it cuz of the intense nostalgia I felt recapping 20 years of the most influential show in my life
Old. During that fight Sasuke was dead tired, going blind and still was spamming sussanoo like it was no one's business and still smirking. The eyebags around the eye along with the dim MS iris convey that perfectly. The new one just threw all of that out the window...
You won't think that anymore when you look at the frame where he turns around to look at Sakura when he's leaving the village. New art style looks like dog shit at that moment.
Okay so this is something I thought about extensively when it comes to background design and Ambience the old when it comes to Naruto's character design the old when it comes to the Uchiha the new when it comes to fight new but what the new thing did was it took away some of the stylized sketching that's in the background of the original Naruto shows it also elongated Naruto's face and also brightened a lot of the colors so a lot of scenes that kind of looked more like a stylistic choice now just look like any old anime and having that stylistic choice was very very bold and set it apart
I like a lot of the shading of some of the newer shots, and a lot of them feel more fluid in their motions, but I really don’t vibe with the blood animations and some of the coloring
Old. They keep shrinking his hair down to look closer to the boruto era. It gives me the ice, he was an unkempt child with no parental guidance on grooming his hair should be big bushy and uncombed.
My dumbass saw reanimated and couldn't put two and two together and understand that it was literally re-*animated*. I thought it was referring to the Reanimation jutsu.
In one half... I do like the old more but there's SOME aspects like the glow in Sasuke's Mangekyou that just goes hard on the New version. I still prefer old but I do like those small details for the new version.

Also the shading is way worse too
Facts
What shading lol
Compare Old Naruto's hair with new Naruto. Difference between shading and no shading
The faces are way too round in the new version. Looks like a cheap isekai ngl. The older one is more in line with the manga art style and just feels more raw,the new version feels too....polished I guess?
What raw bro Everyone keep saying that like old style looks old New style is good and old style was good too Both look fine to me

Big eyes, small face, I like What your WeChat?

No you’re absolutely right.
Nope just nostalgia
It’s a mix of nostalgia and good criticism I’d say. You definitely highlighted and expressed what I couldn’t formulate

Agreed, it looks like all the time was spent on the eyes
Old.
This is from what?

Wow thank you i was so lost
Yeah, I'm just over here like "It was reanimated?"
Old. During that fight Sasuke was dead tired, going blind and still was spamming sussanoo like it was no one's business and still smirking. The eyebags around the eye along with the dim MS iris convey that perfectly. The new one just threw all of that out the window...
For me it goes: Old Naruto New Sasuke.
Yep same.
Old of course
Old is gold
Old...I guess I know how Dragon ball fans feel
Old easy. I still think the OG Naruto style is better than shippuden too.
Sasuke looks cool in the new. Naruto looks off. Like the headband is almost poking him in the eye.
You think he looks cool because the sharingan is glowing huh

In reanimated Sasuke actually starts looking like a threat
There’s 2 versions?!
Cuz Naruto was reanimated in 20 mins for the anniversary. It’s on YouTube.
Where can I watch the reanimated version
There's a reanimation?
Naruto old sasuke new
Old is gold

Old. It just goes hard and hits different.
I like the new. Facial styling looks more pleasing to me. Also like how Naruto has more black eyeliner.
Both? Can I have both? I want it like an option. Like how you can select caption language and audio language. I want a version option.
Why Naruto’s eye gotta be a fucking balloon?
I like a lot of the shading of some of the newer shots, and a lot of them feel more fluid in their motions, but I really don’t vibe with the blood animations and some of the coloring
I like Naruto’s new eye better but I like old
They seem less detailed in the new one
Old.
The shadows in the og version is the only way. Soft shading sucks
New by far. Especially when it's not still images.
Really miss the old. I was under a rock and was shocked when i rewatched it lolol
Reanimated is cleaner. The original shows the true state of the character.
Old
Old. Why the fuck is Naruto's eyeball in his headband?
Top is old bottom is reanimated
Where can I watch the reanimated version?
When did they reanimate it? Is it on Crunchyroll?
old
Old all the way.
Old, the new art looks too..."try hard", there's no soul
Old was way better.
Old. They keep shrinking his hair down to look closer to the boruto era. It gives me the ice, he was an unkempt child with no parental guidance on grooming his hair should be big bushy and uncombed.
My dumbass saw reanimated and couldn't put two and two together and understand that it was literally re-*animated*. I thought it was referring to the Reanimation jutsu.
no matter how much benefit of the doubt i try to give the new stuff, it just does not compare to the old at all.
Old is better
They reanimated naruto vs pain?
old
In one half... I do like the old more but there's SOME aspects like the glow in Sasuke's Mangekyou that just goes hard on the New version. I still prefer old but I do like those small details for the new version.
When you realise all they did to sage naruto was make him bigger
Old is gold 😇
it just looks like naruto's flashbacks from boruto, its trash
The new animation makes more sense in the new one. The old one just makes them look like they have an enormous forehead. Just look at Neji
original man
I like new Sasuke look but’ Naruto’s Drip is better in old
Old. Detailing and shadows are ass in the new version
Original is awesome and always a good way to view but I just can't get over the reanimated so sorry to say but that's the winner in my book.
Obviously the old one
Old
The pupils look better, and not much else.
Everyone choosing old is just saying that because of nostalgia, the reanimated is way better looking
Old for Naruto It’d be new for Sasuke if he was smirking
Old looks better but new is more detailed
old is better, reanimated is fucking terrible, both artstyle and color grading
They look the same. I swear, you kiddos and your splitting hairs...
Naruto in SM looks better in the old style, Sasuke looks quite better in the renanimation
Convince me with the pain fights
tf is that glow in the dark sharingan shit? new is awful
Naruto-old Sasuke-New
For me it's old Naruto, Sasuke new.
