So anyway am I the only one who noticed this, but there are many many similarities to Naruto and DBZ. I mean first off, (im assuming you've seen both shows) but in DBZ they had the ginyu force, in Naruto they have the sound five. Here are some more comparisons that i noticed.

DBZ-super sayan:Naruto-Curse seal
DBZ-kai fist(or something it was the thing he used in the beginning and turned red when he used it):Naruto-Naruto's fox chakara
DBZ:Naruto-long rehabilitations after fights
DBZ:Ape form of Sayans:Naruto-Naruto being foxlike
DBZ:First villian ever fought dies(Raditz):Naruto-first villian ever fought dies(Zabuza, Haku)
DBZ:Naruto-constantly finding more powerful enimies to fight

and finally
DBZ:Naruto-bad shows(just kidding)
lol sorry i was tempted, so the next time you watch either of the shows...stop and think about the similarities

>>> General Anime

And Naruto is nothing like DBZ if you understand it goes beyond kids kicking the crap out of eachother.

If you didn't know, the creator himself said that all the powers from naruto were inspired by DBZ. And yeah, Naruto and DBZ are very similar. Storyline wise, then no.

Naruto and One Piece are co-spiritual-successors to the DBZ fandom and franchise. If you like one and bash one of the others, you've totally got yourself out of whack; you're also blind.

Sad thing is... I think everyone just wants to belive that their anime is better than everyone elses. 0o...

And btw, does this belong in GAMV?

And I'm not trying to say "Naruto is better than DBZ" I'm saying that it is much deeper than many people stereotype it to be.

You certainly inferred it.

There may be some similarities but that's about it.
Example: Just because things blow-up in two action movies, doesn't mean they're the same.

Only thing I did notice of "Naruto...walking down the DBZ path?" is that Naruto is almost the new DBZ in terms of popularity in the anime and AMV making worlds.
