That sounds like more of a complaint about the series as a whole rather then the Akatsuki as a group though. I agree the loss of its ninja roots were a blow to the series (which is why I say it declined after Part 1) however everything Pre-War was still very well written stuff in as far as shonen go and the Akatsuki were still all really really good characters. Tobi was a god-tier villain right up until we actually learned who he was and the motivations behind what he did (at which point he went from top-tier to bottom barrel in the biggest character quality shifts Ive ever seen). The revelation about Itachi is one of the biggest twists in shonen to date, one of the few moments in manga where I was straight up speechless. Jiraiyas death was arguably the best, or one of the best deaths in shonen. The Pein Arc was actually magnificent and if Nagato didnt go ahead and become a cock at the end of it and made all his actions in the war meaningless it would have been an arc that IMO would have even surpassed the Chimera Ant Arc. The whole solve the mystery in a fight against time aspect was phenomenal, and all those deaths were glorious to see in a shonen (even though they were all redundant because of fucking Nagato). It was also amazing to see an MC have literally no answer to the ideals of the villain, he was pressed into a corner both physically and mentally, a villain who was incredibly methodical and sound in reason to do what he did, making him yet another god-tier villain up until he ruined everything by becoming a complete twat and reviving everyone.Honestly for me the Akatsuki started going downhill with Sasori´s death, out of all the members, Sasori was one of the very ideal role models for the ninja, works with poisons, puppets, hidden weapons, devised many missions that were hardly linked to him whatsoever, even then Chiyo pointed that Sasori had a hand in Gaara´s father´s death all Sasori said was that one of his puppets lead Orochimaru there, like no biggie, with the information network.
The fact he was the first to die and what came afterwards, just showcased how the ninja thematic lost their ground against the DBZ logic which started to gain more ground around that time.
But it should to a degree at least until we got to see the 3 other villages, which I honestly thing it should´ve come sooner.That sounds like more of a complaint about the series as a whole rather then the Akatsuki as a group though.

This is all in an arc where a village was getting blown to smithereens, so what I am getting at is that Naruto did not need to be deadlocked in Ninja antics for it to be at its best. Kishimoto was genuinely an amazing shonen mangaka up until he lost his shit with the final arc (as damn near every mangaka seems to do for whatever reason).
Deidara vs Gaara was a pretty good indicator of what was to come in shippuden, that came even before Sasoris death. In fact that still might be the largest scale fight in the entire series sans anything to do with Madara and Naruto (in the war arc).
New Do I even need to say what I'm going to vote for?
I honestly can't find it in me to get invested in Furuta, no matter how many villainous deeds he carries out in the series. I think it probably has to do with the fact that his rise to the top as a main villain just felt WAY too rushed for me to care, Ishida should have taken more time with him imo before pushing him to the spotlight. Ramsay from A Song of Ice and Fire and Blackbeard from One Piece feel like better done Furutas to me, in regards to how they were brought from the bottom to the top.Basically since Eto was defeated off-panel by this incredibly boring and annoying character called Furuta.
Could the same not be said for Naruto though? I mean for that matter its worse in Naruto's case since it took up 2/7 of the series and was at the ending at that. At least TG Re: has a chance to pull itself out of a little slump, which I would argue is still not nearly as bad as Naruto during many parts of the war arc.Do I even need to say what I'm going to vote for?
I might have actually considered Tokyo Ghoul if not for the later half of :re, because until then it definitely did an amazing job. I guess almost every manga is bound to drop in quality at some point, but Tokyo Ghoul really did a nosedive during it's second half or so.

I didn't mean they were similar as in character wise, it's more of how they were written as antagonists? If that makes sense:Those are very different characters to Furuta honestly. Ramsey was a character that essentially had such rage at his father and had an almost inferiority complex, that he took it out on the world. BB is a schemer and someone that basically is very similar to Luffy in that he wants OP for himself because it is that ultimate goal. Furuta's true goal is not fully known at the moment, and all he has done so far is show a disdain for the Washuu and wants to eliminate Ghouls (though I highly doubt this is as cut and dry as it seems considering recent developments). They may have some similarities, but the actual theme they represent is not really all that close.
You know, with comments like this one you and @Aloy are going to get along pretty well, Im sure of it.Do I even need to say what I'm going to vote for?

Uhmm, Im not a big fan of Furuta either but I dont think you are right. If anything what made Furuta's villain status be so awesome at the beggining was his subtle and hidden way to the main scenario, if you know what I mean:With Furuta, there's no middle ground for his rise to the top. It's like he just decided to become a large scale villain on a whim, something that's always bothered me, since I felt like his writing when it came to Furuta was a tad rushed. There should have been more build up to him becoming an endgame villain, or just have him start out as a large scale villain from the get go (Jason and Arima were written this way). It's why I can't find myself getting behind him as a character.
Though I will admit recent developments for Furuta have solidified him a little more in my perspective, but not enough for me to consider him one of my favorites.
just read TG and forget about narutoWell ill be honest i voted vor TG i don't even read it but i promised to, i know ishida is a great writer, Ive translated his Hisoka spin off , i know he's also a huge fan of HxH, and Ive seen a lot of tg art and i know some stuff about characters and the plot. But i didn't know TG was competing against Naruto before the moment i was about to vote, I don't know why I thought it was against Black clover. So if it werent for my promise i would definitely have chosen Naruto. As the president mentioned earlier Naruto was great and i enjoyed it a lot, its only after the pain arc that story strated to hurt me. but i was watching recently some episodes with gaara & akatsuki to jiraya's death and i remembered how much i was loving it, of course there's a part of nostalgia too. I don't deny that it has some flaws, cant speak about tg but im sure according to some fans that some stuff are not necessary perfect, i didnt vote tg to vote for "the seinen over the shonen thing". Both have excellent campaigns congrats to Arj and SPriggan !
so best luck to both !!!
