Ryuujin Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 This series is Awesome. It is my favorite. It was released this past January in Japan, and is making its way here via fansub. There are 34 episodes and one special so far. The stroy is about Naruto on his journey to become the greatest ninja in his village(Hokage). Naruto has grown up as an orphan and has always been seen as a trouble maker and looked down upon by others, so to make the village acknowledge him he needs to be the strongest ninja ever. To do this Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura train under Sensei Kakashi. The music is great, but not at first. When you first here the music you'll think it is really weird, but after awhile you'll start humming to it. The animation is fairly good. Flows well and is crisp. The charcters were created very good. There personality conflict and personal competions add some humor. Overall, this series is a must see for anyone who likes the fighting/ninja genre. I give it a 10/10. You can get this series through BT or one a IRC client. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youko Minamino Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Your info isn't exactly correct. Naruto started on the 3rd of March, 2000. Overview of the story: 9 years ago a Kitsune attacked Hidden Leaf village. Its Shinobi team's couldn't do anything to stop it, when the 4th Hokage stepped up and used an incantation that imprisoned the Kitsune inside the belly of a new born child of Leaf Village. The cost of that incantation was his life. That child had no parents. All throughout his life he was an outcast, because the adults knew part of him is that Kitsune that almost wiped out Hidden Leaf Village. The adults viewed him as the Kitsune itself, and not as Naruto. Their feelings were also expressed through their children. The children didn't know Naruto has the reincarnated Kitsune inside of him, but all hated him. The children didn't know because the 3rd Hokage had made it law that in Hidden Leaf Village no one is to talk about Naruto being the Kitsune. Well since Naruto is an outcast he expresses himself through pranks and cutting Ninja Class, and using unorthodoxed fighting techniques like Sexy no Jutsu. Well graduation roles around and Naruto fails because he can't do the multiplication technique correctly, because its one of the skills he isn't good at. All the kids laugh and celebrate, while a corrupt Jounin(Upper-Ninja) Sensei tells him that if he steals the forbidden scroll and learns a forbidden technique he will be allowed to graduate. He does this and now everyone hates Naruto. He manages to learn Kage no Bushu, which is a multiplication technique, that unlike the other makes real clones, instead of fake ones. Naruto's Sensei ask him why he did it, and Naruto explains what the corrupt Jounin Sensei told him. The corrupt Jounin Sensei shows up and tells Naruto no one likes him because he is the Kitsune. He just broke about 3 village laws by doing that. He said he got Naruto to steal the scroll so that he can kill Naruto learn some forbidden techniques, and be a hero, while becoming the strongest Jounin, and moving up to KoHage. Naruto kicks his *** using Kage no Bushu, and Naruto's Jounin Sensei gives him his forehead protector classifying that he greaduated and is now no longer a student, but a Ninja. He can become a Genin(Lower Ninja). Since he has the lowest score in the class he gets teamed up with his rival, Sasuke, who is the strongest Ninja in he class, [B]by far[/B], and the girl who he loves, but she loves Sasuke, Sakura. This begins their journeys to become Jounin, and possibly Kage, [spoiler]though Sasuke just wants to get back at the man who killed his entire clan.[\spoiler]. They're shown the way by their Jounin teacher who is a legend Kakashi Sensui. Naruto is far from a 10/10 however IMO. . Its a series about Ninja's meaning, to me, it should be way more interesting. I like it because I can relate to Naruto about being the outcast, and the ending song really fits me. R.O.C.K.S. is a good song as well. The Music isn't the best, but the character interaction makes up for that. All in All I'd give Naruto an 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posthumous Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 [spoiler][color=white]I thought the fox demon was sealed 12 years before...in Naruto the 4th Hokage sealed it into...This is by far my favorite anime/manga right now, with Hikaru no Go...[/color][/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue]This is probably one of my favorite anime's and manga's as well. It's storyline has been told twice correctly so I won't repeat that. It has awesome charcters, escpeccialy Kakashi, he is very cool. This is my favorite manga, but not anime.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syk3 Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Spastic Paroxys [/i] [B]*grumbles* I usually don't point out grammatical errors, but I decided to in this case. When you put a [b]'[/b] it makes the word possesive. Like saying, "Kakashi's post". Plus, the plural of anime is anime. So there is no need for an 's' anywhere.[/B][/QUOTE] I wouldn't worry too much about something like that. Especially for a 10-year-old, lol.

Nomad Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 [color=darkblue][size=1]I've not seen the anime, but I have read Naruto in Shonen Jump, and I must say it's great. The anime's probably better (being able to see the characters move/hear them talk/and perform moves. I need to find a place to buy it. Anyway, I like the way they display the story and the drawings are great. Kakashi [i]is[/i] cool, heh, I dunno why, there's just some reason..... dunno. Anyway, I would not give Naruto a 10/10 but very close. --Nomad[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
