You Ready Weebs? Black Panther's Michael B. Jordan Reveals His Favorite Anime


Michael B. Jordan's love for anime isn't exactly a secret, as the Black Panther actor has expressed his admiration for the art form a long time ago. On Twitter, the actor let fans know that he enjoyed watching shows like Bleach and Dragon Ball. With Detective Pikachu possibly being good, we could be getting more quality anime adaptations from Hollywood in the future.

Jordan was recently asked on Twitter what his favorite anime is and the answer will please many. Unsurprising to longtime fans of the actor, Jordan said that Naruto Shippuden is his favorite anime since he witnessed Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha grow up and reach their goals, despite how different they were.

He didn't say anything about Boruto though, which is fine since it's not that great aside from one good movie.

Though a victim of filler and some frustrating plot armor near the end, Naruto Shippuden is a quality anime that manages to be satisfying and exciting. It features some of the best fights you'll ever see in animation and the story can be pretty engrossing when it's not being convoluted or annoying.

Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump for 700 chapters. The story follows a young ninja, with a sealed demon within him, that wishes to become the leader of his home village.

You can watch Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, and Boruto on Crunchyroll.
