Naruto a Japanese Harry Potter? - Derimed - 2009-07-17
I've never paid much attention to Harry Potter. I started reading the Harry Potter series recently, and can't help but see some similarities to Naruto.
- There are three main characters in each series, with the others being support. One is a female, the other two are males. However, the relationships and nature of the characters are not that similar.
- HP series takes place in a school of witchcraft and wizardry styled in the European tradition, (broomsticks, cauldrons, wands, etc.) Naruto takes place in a ninja school (which teaches and uses oriental magic and fighting techniques.)
- Both settings feature mostly medieval elements, but they are (somewhat illogically) fused with modern technology and modern times. For example, HP's evil cousin plays video games, and there are electricity poles in Konoha village, though the practice of magic in both settings largely has not taken modern tech into consideration.
I also have to wonder who is richer, the creator of Naruto or the creator of Harry Potter.

Wut.
Also, HP takes place in like, the 90s IIRC.

You are pretty messed up, man. You can see similarities to anything if you really want to. Comparing Harry Potter to Naruto is a sad stretch. Why'd you even try is beyond me, unless you're trying to be funny.
And I have no doubts J. K. Rowling is vastly richer than Kishimoto.
@ xBTAx
Yeah, it does. It follows Harry from early 1990's to 2017 (epilogue), if I remember right.

I don't see how they are similar at all to be honest :f6:

I am not black.
But based on your last two posts, you, evidently, are a troll, so let's talk again in... say, 20 years.

Weed just doesn't do it for me anymore, man.
I need coke, shrooms and speed to start my morning RIGHT.
