Hey man, happens to the best of us. Don't let this stop you from pursuing a job in animation (if that was what your interview was for). If you described it how it happened exactly, then it just needed some tweaking to rebound off it for the purpose of showing your interest in the job. You said you wanted to pursue animation because of it if that was the job you were interviewing for, if you described the fight scenes, the high octane scenes and how they were animated you would show how that made you passionate. The characters you feel are nuanced loop it back to animation. How character A will act and perform certain ways and it automatically tells the audience how the character is feeling. How serious the character is taking the fight.
They are looking for passion when they ask those "what's your hobby" types of questions. You just told him how inspiring your hobbies are to you. You just need to try again.
And personally if you got your dream job first try, I feel like your dream job is just the first branch in a far more inspired tree.
TL;DR you just need interview practice, and talking about Naruto for 15 minutes can be a strength.
