Although this is highly disputed in the anime world, Studio Pierrot has some of the best fight scenes in all of anime. One of their most famous shows is Naruto which is referred to as one of the “Big 3” of shonen anime. Over the years, the studio has brought in 45 million dollars because of the success of this one show alone. This style of anime typically has a lot of fighting and action incorporated into the plot. For example, Naruto’s fight with Pain in Konoha has been rated as the best battle scene in all of anime by many people, including Toyo Anime. After seeing Hinata get injured in the fight, Naruto releases the demon sealed inside of him to defeat Pain. This scene shows how much the village and Hinata mean to him because he gives it everything he has to keep his friends safe. The idea of protecting friends no matter what has been emphasized throughout the entire series. This creates unity in the village which in turn has kept the villagers safe despite all of the attacks. All of the Konoha shinobi fight with more passion than the other villages because of the strong bond they have with each other. In addition to the actual fighting, the connection of friendship is what makes this scene so popular. People are able to relate to this because of their own wanting to help their friends.
