Hello all. I have recently gotten into the Anime, Naruto (well a month ago) and have already watched all episodes till 119. I really like the series and also find it quite realistic in some of the personal-growth topics (not all the ninja fights obviously, although they are extremely cool). I have not read the comics as i think it is better as an Anime as more of the drama is captured with moving pictures and some (and when i say some I MEAN some) of the excellent/beautiful/heart pacing/exhilarating music.

One thing i found too cheesy though was Inuzuka Kiba and his godamn love towards his dog. they even included a whole special memory scene with them two together like most other characters, blaahhh.

Any other Naruto fans out there?

Naruto isn't bad but Neon Genesis: Evangelion is, and always shall be, the greatest anime ever.

Naruto is ok, its a souped up version of Dragon Ball and i mean REALLY souped up. Its good enough to watch and not feel like its crap like DBZ. Sasuke is my favorite character in the video game, however in the manga the personalities are too predictable..

Naruto is good. However, Scrapped Princess is better than Evangelion :p.

Evangelion is good, but the ending drove me crazy. "The End Of Envangelion was'nt much better either. Naruto is pretty good, but I've only read the manga in "Shonen Jump".

My favorite series is Rurouni kenshin, now that's a good series.

yes naruto character are predictable, but i still loved them. Evangelion was ok i though, Shinji was a depressing character, and the final episode was too far out of place even though it did play a big role in the actual story line.

I've read the comics. That's about all i've seen of it.
But it is a pretty good Anime/Manga.

Funny how Naruto and Shikamaru were two complete oppisite characters working together on one of the missions i thought.

Shikamaru = Lazy/Intelligent
Naruto = Hyperactive/Stupid

You should read the manga the anime has fillers and is so far behind..@_@ naruto is now grown up during the time skip after Sasuke vs Naruto battle 2. After the Kakashi Gaiden Naruto has to do what he did on the 4th episode, pick up bells from his sensei

Heh, I wouldn't really say he's all grown up, it's only 2 and a half years later after all.
I think they'll be able to do it this time, what do you think? :p

True.. I guess, is he 12 before the time skip? So he is about 15-16 then...ah well its very close to the adult age anyway, too bad he is none the wiser...

I like Naruto. Having never watched anything but crap like DBZ and stuff on Cartoon Network for years, I downloaded all 51 episodes of Full Metal Alchemist and watched them straight through. I thought it was wonderful in comparison to what I was used to, but when I started watching Naruto afterwards, I had the same delighted feeling over again.

I've sampled quite a few other animes, but there's something about Naruto that I find simply awesome.

yeah same thing happened to me zepho. but the really strange thing is that the author of naruto was inspired by dbz and tried to make it sort of similar, i guess he failed to copy a <img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif> series and accidently created something far better.

The Naruto we are talking about is an Anime and a character IN that anime, nothing to do with forums.

I never got much enjoyment out of Evangelion. Up to this day I consider buying death, rebirth and end of evangelion my second worse purchasing choice (First being two Ninja Scroll DVDs... ewww.)

Naruto is something I really like though! Lots of action and a decent storyline. You've gotta love that perverted hermit! :D

If you did not like the series why did you buy the movies?

Since I live in England It's generally quite hard and annoying to get any anime other than that which is released here. At the time I had heard Evangellion was a great series so I decided to rummage around and see if much was for sale in England.

Alas only the movies were available so I decided on wether to put the effort and money into buying the series on wether I enjoyed the movies. sadly to say, I never got the series.

That's the explanation^_^
You should really try to get them from somewhere..Either download them or order them online..They really worth the effort..

Yep i made a thread about this a while ago....i reckon its awesome....love the summon battles! Only seen the anime but it goes much into deeper issues and story lines compared to DBZ...

And its not one of those save the world stories...im gettin sick of the "save the world" stories...it pretty much overdone!

I kinda dig Hinata-sama shes pretty cool and funny yet incredably shy lol!

Yep i like Naruto...good anime!

I've seen Naruto through 119... from 118. It was really interesting to try and figure out who all the people were. I'm going to try and get some earlier episodes when I can. FMA.... I love FMA (Also known as Full Metal Alchemist)... I can't say its better than Naruto as I haven't watched but 2 episodes of Naruto, but FMA is absolutely wonderful.
