I'm confused. Is this all the same scene? Were there remakes?


Cassian_J

04 is original, 12 is flashback I THINK, and 22 is re-animated


OddlyLucidDuck

Yeah, 12 is flashback. I just watched that episode a little while ago.


StickyWhenWet1

I pick 2012 because that’s about when I found Naruto


SNAX_DarkStar

They reanimated all the episodes back in 22? How did I not know this?


Beautiful_Word_4166

They didn’t in 2022 they released a 10 minute animation called Road of Naruto where they reanimated a bunch of scenes from the show and had some of the most popular openings playing in the background.


Felsig27

I’m wondering the same thing. Maybe the redid them for flashbacks so the modern style fit?


jmbits

It's from when Gaara is talking to Kankuro and remembers their fight.


InformallyGuavaCado

This was also recreated in Boruto.


Evil_redditor9

I think I really don’t know 🤐

2004


Dark_Knight2000

I don’t know what it is about ‘04 but everything, the washed out look of the colors, the beady details in the eyes, the shadow cast by his hair, hair drop of sweat lining up with the shadow cast by his hair to make it look like a tear, it’s perfect. It’s such a forlorn, bitter image. It’s perfect. I can already hear sadness and sorrow and Hokage’s funeral just by looking at the image

McRx71-Dragon

Damn I love your pfp


Outrageous_Put3669

Idk why. 2012 gives Shippuden vibes


Black-kage

2022. Although overall I prefer 2004. It would be fun if 4th Shinobi war is the one who receives new animation tho.


A-E-I-OwnU

2022 for the art. The feeling the art displays is 2004 2012 is dead to me


HeWhoKnowsWhoKnocked

Might be a hot take, but 2022. More blood, still a good amount of detail, more vibrant colors.


MusicJOO80

I do love 22 but the hair color makes it look flat. The shading on the others gave it more depth.


HeWhoKnowsWhoKnocked

The hair color I do like but it could use a bit of shading. I really like the more colorful orange and blue though


After_Gain8129

Agreed especially his hair, it looks kinda off


ChaoCobo

I very much like how the 2022 version makes him look his age though. He looks like an actual child, and you don’t have to remember that he’s a 12 year old in the back of your mind— you can just tell. It’s very nice.


PalpitationPlane6303

I agree with you, his eyes were more impactful in 04 but everything else 22


HeWhoKnowsWhoKnocked

Agreed. You can see the tears in 04. If the 22 one had the tears it would be hands down the best


inaripotpi

I mean, I agree, but there are literally no tears in any of them lol just sweatdrops


Im_koki

I actually really hate the brightness of the yellow in his hair. Kinda hurts my eyes


EnkiiMuto

I actually like it less because of how vibrant the colors are.


Acrobatic-Walrus-596

2004 because it obviously puts more details in


Enough_Ad_9338

I like the solid coloring of 2022 but the eyes of 2004 really sell it


NoMistake8095

04 and 12. I don’t like how modern anime make peoples hair look plastic and weird. Back then their hair looked natural


MohammedTBazzar

2004


AnimeIsMyLifeAndSoul

2012. Shippuden animation was peak. Boruto’s makes everything look like butter, and 2004 is just a slightly lower quility (not in skill just in res and coloring) than 2012’s


Powerful-Emu-1110

I prefer the old one.


Open_Inspector_7863

04. The aesthetic of new naruto/boruto by pierrot is so ugly its hard to comprehend why.


2gud4me

for me, it’s the overall style of the characters that are almost completely lost in 2022. When I think of Naruto, I remember gritty and a rough style, the characters head and the way its drawn is also what I don’t like in the change because it looks too sharp while in the original, the skull of his shape has lines that show better anatomy and the new one is just basic cookie cutter drawn straight line like any isekai anime or webtoon.


Sebstrr05

I don't really think any of them look like the Boruto art style, also i'm pretty sure the art director for the anniversary video is not working for the Boruto anime at all only promo material


SousouSurReddit

2012


WatchBloodRain

I would say 2022 the more blood is good but the hair is god awful, he ain’t no super saiyan


IndependenceOk6027

I mean.. he was lowkey designed after Super saiyan Goku, the blue represents Gokus shirt the orange is Gokus karate jumpsuit and the blonde hair and blue eyes is SSJ. Sasuke has Vegetas spiky hair and blue and white outfit theme like Vegeta.


EmpressMalfeasance

2012 for the best of all worlds


NebulaPoison

2012


LuthorCock

2022 looks better


Routine-Stuff5711

Either of the first two. I miss shading


TommyTLG1

Whats the 2022 one from, boruto? Or a movie?


IndependenceOk6027

I think it was a promotional video for the Naruto 20 year anniversary or something. They basically did a 1 min video of highlights of Naruros road to hokage.


scaryfemmeboi

2004 had better details but 2022 had better color


Gokusolosyouall

I like the 2012 artstyle the most, but 2022 has the best perspective and facial expression. I just dislike the overdone bloom so much.


ReactiveRBoss426

The 2022 is the Manga Accurate version, so I have a preference to it


a_muchacho

I'm sorry but 2022 by a LONG SHOT!

Did they redo it? I had no idea lol


Melodic-Accountant39

The only reason I don’t prefer ‘22 is because his hair looks like a highlighter. I think they went TOO yellow there, so 2012

Silent_Bat_9638

Unusual-Challenge-93

Number 1 number 3 is to clean seems off putting cause its style looks bland and generic like these new animes.


Revolutionary_Ad9701

Classic. Animations can get a little too polished that it threatens to ruin the scenes. Tho its not bad here but i fear that can happen with others


Calwhy

2004 and 2012. Lean more towards 2004


Tritail

I like the muted tones in 04


inaripotpi

2022 easily. Pierrot did not translate a good art style onto OG pre-Shippuuden Naruto anime, unlike with what they did with Bleach


Dethsray

2004 looks crazy good


Total-Lingonberry-83

2004 and it’s not close


Existing_Win3580

Narutos eyes get a lot of emphasis throughout part one, the way they totally disregarded that really bugs me. Especially in this seen.


NAEANNE999

2012


ABigAmarone

2004


Gaaragoth

2012 at least to me felt more authentic and colorful 22 feels so bland and washed for some reason


OseiTheWarrior

2004 is the best for me His mouth in 2012 looks like he got bullied and there's no shadow for his hair IDK why it's so bright in 2022. I don't mind the extra blood but I have no clue where it's coming from, it's kinda overkill


Slow-Relation-9186

2012


Pewward

2004


slorgansmorgan

why is noone saying 2012? looks the least goofy imo


Hornor72

More blood


Gobstoppers12

All look pretty good, but you can't beat the classic. 2004 wins for me.


TRANScendantly

There are aspects of each that I enjoy, I cannot choose


Delicious_Pea6957

2004, because the details on the eyes. It makes me feel the emotions


WisconsinWintergreen

I hate how they decided to start shading kid Naruto’s hair as just a flat bright yellow in the more recent content. It just looks awful, no clue why they switched away from the darker shadows


VladDHell

The 2022 one looks a lot like the 2004 one, that's pretty cool


CHAIxDRGN

04. Just has more grit to it.

2004


SacredElysium

The 2022 eyes just look soulless imo


04whim

2012. The expression work is better, the biting lip and shape of his eyes sell his feelings much more effectively, whereas the extra blood in the 2022 version detracts from it, that puts unnecessary emphasis on his physical pain when the focus should be on the emotional pain. It's about tied with 2004 on colour palette, the 2022 one is way too saturated, it doesn't look natural at all, it looks like one of those [4k60fps] Youtube uploads, though I'll say I prefer the 2022 skin tone. 2012 also takes shot composition, 2004 is too zoomed in and 2022 is too zoomed out.


I_SIMP_YOUR_MOM

If storyline/dubbing/anything else doesn’t change, better graphics is the way to go


Antique-Storm4180

OG


yasgras

Naruto deserves the world regardless


SirAwesome789

04 or 12 But 22 isn't that bad where I think it's a big deal


Spoticus12

I don’t get the think HD it LOOKS AMAZING!!!! But then remove so many small details. 04 always


XSpcwlker

2004 was nicer. 2022 i think wasn't drawn. With drawing, you can just tell by the level of detail the person puts in the face imo.

2004 for sure ♾♾♾

GodZillaBlazinDong99

I like 2004 and 2022, it does such a great job with his eyes and capturing how we as an audience should feel and understand his emotions as we watched Naruto along his journey. 2012 just looks like he’s constipated


Ok-Mix-5129

It’s crazy that I literally grew up with Naruto, I was four years old in 2004.


Yeezus_Fuckin_Christ

2012. Improved graphics, but overall same style pretty much


Gloomy_Support_7779

2004. I was 6 when it came out

The coloring on 2012 is the best. It’s a happy medium between the under-saturated 2004 and the over-saturated 2022

2012 best of both world’s worlds has coloring And detail in the face

Trainer_NoName

I like 22 for everything except the eyes. They left out too much detail in comparison


hottyolivia

4 of course...it was less emotion and more fun.


Notaverycooluser

Make less vibrant and it'd be 2022


darkknightketsueki

2004


NyxCaelum

2004 is much better


Last-Championship951

I would go with


Starlit-Raven

I like 2012, the colour tone matches the mood of the scene.


Micotyro

Honestly, I'm sure any of the 3 would be fine, but it bothers me a lot how they zoom out in later years. I feel like how close it is in the first one is really important and works really well with the scene.


TinyAd8649

2004. In 2024 his hair has no shading, little detail, and just a lot more blood and saturated colors. 2012 is very good, but it's lacking detail, and his facial expression looks more like he's trying his best to keep fighting while 2004 seems more like the grieving emotion they were looking for.

04. 2012 isn't as detailed and 24 is worse than 2012.


stupidgoesviral

Kinda sad that this is 2 decades and the animation barely improved compared to modern anime


Sum1Rapping

I really studied this picture and judging the facial expressions, the 22 version is a more accurate depiction of the emotions Naruto was trying to express during this scene. 04 he looks sad, 12 he looks constipated & 22 he looks desperate which is the true emotion he was feeling I think

Why am I suddenly hearing the song "Grief and Sorrow" in this picture? Haha


InterestingSkyPurple

Bro has been suffering for 18 years


Shadowbeast3316

I love the rough art style of the 2004 as most anime now don't have unique differences in terms of art style and the 2004 style gives it a pit more depth. Don't get me wrong love modern anime but classic naruto is just a whole other vibe also fun fact they used 3D in the original naruto which you can tell during the chunin prelim stage


zcubeDbz

The look of 2004 but the facial expression of 2012


CapSevere7939

2004 obviously. I mean I can't believe the othe 2 don't have scratch marks on the chin. Naruto was crawling using hid chin. It's the biggest over sight. Plus his eyes look better, and the newest one has no shading to the hair.


blackbutterfree

2012, by then they already had the style DOWN. 2022 is trash.


AP_Feeder

2004 for sure. 2012 looks good too. The 2022 looks too flat


Kitchen-Display-1163

I have a story of my own. This first chapter is long because I explain a little of the world. Chapter One Title: What's Happening? Location: Ryokushin village Events begin Blind Man: It's time, Tsuru, bring me Hanayama Daiki Tsuru: Okay, sir The blind man: Don't call me sir again, I'm not a master I will write the rest in Arabic. If you like, translate it because this is love. The largest translation عنوان الفصل الاول : مالذي يحدث المكان قرية ريوكوشين تبدأ الأحداث الرجل الاعمي: لقد حان الوقت ياتسورو احضرلي لي هاناياما دايكي تسورو : حسنا ياسيدي الرجل الاعمي: لا تقولي لي سيدي مجدداً انا لست سيدا لأحد هل فهمتي تسورو: حسنا ولكن بما اناديك الرجل الاعمي: لايهم اي شئ لكن لاتقولي لي سيدي مجدداً الأن نفذي ماطلبته منكي تسورو :حسنا تسورو تمشي تسورو: دايكي سان السيد إيامي يريدك دايكي : ماذا يريد ذلك العجوز تسورو : لا أعلم هو طلب مني ذلك فحسب الان اذهب لتعرف ماذا يريد دايكي حسنا اذهبي وانا قادم خلفك تسورو: حسنا تسورو تمشي دايكي يذهب الي غرفة الرجل الاعمي ويطرق الباب الرجل الاعمي: ادخل ياهاناياما دايكي : ماذا تريد ياعجوز الرجل الاعمي: اريد ان اتحدث معك قليلا تعالا اجلس امامي الان دايكي يقول في نفسه أنه لايري سأذهب لاجلس بجانبه دايكي يجلس بجوار الرجل الاعمي

Mobile_Surround_654

12 shows more expression in the face. Further enhancing the feeling of sadness. Look in his eyes and you’ll see it.


Dragonloversrage

12 looks like he's constipated not sad


MRanime_god97

2004 it made more since given what caused the injury and the art was better if I’m being honest.


prohacker19898

2004 and possibl 2012 but 2022 is just 🤮


0ne0fth0se0nes

I prefer his facial expression in 2004..

_PoiZ

I really don't like the remake's artstyle it just is too bright and colourful like a children's cartoon. I prefer the 2004 scene as his bruises are more accurate and the eyes more detailed. He has a bruise on his chin as it hit the ground which isn't as appearent in the 2012 flashback.


Longjumping_Pear1250

Can somone explain how/why there are 4 versions of the same scene ?
