10 Anime Arcs Better Than Pain’s Assault

Naruto’s Pain Assault arc is, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable and memorable storylines in anime history. The fight between Konoha’s forces and Nagato’s immortal army is a perfect example of what makes Masashi Kishimoto’s series so popular, thanks to its emotive scenes, stunning fights, and exciting new techniques. While no one can deny the impact this arc had on anime’s history, it is no secret that it had several issues, like lackluster animation, awkward pacing, and a finale that not all fans agreed with.
