I watched the original Naruto up until the end of the Bridge Builder Arc and had to deal with stuff. And I remember it being a gritty story about pain and loss dealing with being orphaned and social issues and secrecy and such. That and the fights were fantastical but followed real world logic in the majority of cases, mostly dealing with why a certain personality would use a certain attack or make a certain mistake or such. But I've heard towards the end the series lost it's realism for hammy "power of friendship" and such and I was wondering, is that the case?
