There's this guy who kicks stuff, and another guy who punches kinda fast. That's all I got. Honestly it was couple of videos here on the .org that sold me. If they don't do it for you, it's probably just not going to be your thing.

I found the first season to be a little dull - but once the chounin exam began, I was hooked. It's the first "ninja" anime I've ever seen, and I thought it was great ^__^ I love a lot of the characters, and the plot is totally original & it keeps you watching.

To be honest, I watched the first episode, like, a year before I watched the rest of the series. I didn't think it would be that great. But after hearing about it from everyone else, I decided to give it another chance. Now, it's one of my favorites ^__^

Check out a few AMVS first. Fanfarria was the first Naruto vid I ever watched, and it made me want to watch the rest of the series.

This alone is a good reason why Naruto is one of the best anime's out their.

Actually I avoided Naruto for a while since I heard it was the 'next DBZ'.

I suppose Naruto's something that you'll either love or hate =/

In my opinion, the storyline is very simple, I fell in love the characters though. One thing Naruto has is an interesting cast of characters, especially when you hit the Chunin Exam arc.

The downside of Naruto...they really drag it out. Not necessarily that it's bad, but definately noticeable. One fight may last eight episodes.

It has some good action in it and the characters start to develop some interesting motivations and pasts as the series goes on.

I'd say give it a shot. If you don't like it, move on. It's as simple as that

how are you going to tell me what i think of a show?

i agree with moonlightsoldier in part where the battles are to drawn out. but unlike her i didnt get attached to the characters i found them quite annoying as i mentioned befor.

First off, Naruto has plot, interesting characters that grow with the story, involved fight scenes that arent just recycled crap from the last fight scene. DBZ is lacking all of these things. All the characters fight the same exact way in dbz. some sort of glowing ball in various sizes and colors.
this rant is kind of ackward and fragmented but thats all ive got right now.
