In my opinion its the best anime ever
Never heard of it. I like Gatekeepers 21.
Too big. The height limit is 250 pixels including images as well as text.
i used to think it was ok, but then i realized it really sucks. the frickin fights go on wayyyy to frickin long, dragon ball z style. also, the ninjas are like, the most retarded ninjas ever. there not even ninjas. there just guys who are strong with 1 signature ability that like kills everything. its so dumb.
It's... amusing. Although I agree it does get rather Dragon Ballish at times. And no, they aren't Ninja. I do read the manga and I would watch the series, but it's hardly the best.
>>> Naruto isnt the best anime ever but the manga is well done.
And is very obvious they ARE Ninjas, I mean just read the manga or watch the anime. There are plenty of ninjutsu techniques there.
>>> Kudos to Masashi Kishimoto for creating such fascinating world and story..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
One of the wierd things about Naruto is that they're no definitive time period and technology mark. They've got toilets and I'm pretty sure they have television, but they use a lot of primitive tools and structures and the like. It's interesting.
It is good,not the best IMHO.
A JEDI SHALL NOT KNOW ANGER.
NOR HATRED.
NOR LOVE.
Not bad for a blatant copy of Dragonball.
i think its really good, although i wish there would only be one studio doing the fight scenes. sometimes one studio does them where they downgrade the art but upgrade the animation therefore creating much more fluent fight scenes, but sometimes when they recycle the past 20 episodes with flashbacks and dont actually get anywhere with fighting they downgrade the animation and upgrade the art. I like it a lot more with better animation.
Although the author did mention that some of the inspiration came from DBZ, it is still quite different, and i can definitely say that after watching the current 133 episodes. The fights are much better, it is not quite as repetitive, the script and story actually make sense a lot of the time, they did not give them cheesy american voice-actors, the drawing is a hundred times better and so is the animation, they do sometimes do some clever little tricks that make you think "ok maybe ill call the ninja just this one time" even though they are nothing like ninja as "the way of the ninja" is not one-on-one fighting, and also, you dont feel like kicking yourself out of embarassement while watching it compared to DBZ. But it is not without its faults of course. I also love all the chinese and japanese mythology in it, compared to DBZ which only had "the dragon", not even sure if that comes in any chinese mythology but hey.
Im still looking for an anime that has brilliant but not over the top fighting with excellent animation, so you dont get the feeling that anything is possible in a minute like with DBZ, and that is genuinely clever and provocative (kinda like Jackie Chan's old way of fighting, brilliant but not over the top so you can still see whats going on and be awe-inspired by his quick reactions and choices of combat).

I understand hating long fights (I do, too, though I don't like them too short either), but comparing them to the monotony of DBZ's fights is, well, laughable. I'd say check out the most recent episode, which burns through about three chapters of manga fighting. It's fast, and the animation is really quite good.Originally Posted by Excelsior
Naruto is based on a Shonen manga, and it's definitely not as hardcore as the more adult-themed animes around, but what draws me to Naruto is the universe and all the 'ninja', and the way they're ranked and continually get stronger over time through the development of new jutsu and such.
For the record, I don't like DBZ (anime). At all.
I love Naruto, definetely my favorite manga. In fact, I just bought the graphic novel 5 and 6 today. As for anime, I haven't seen it yet, but I'd probably say it's the best anime as well.
I wanna see the anime!
It isn't my FAVORITE favorite, but its far from rock bottom. That would be Vision of Escaflowne (Manga) *Shudders* They killed that one...
Naruto is good i say, lets just say its where everything people would ask for in Dragon Ball and make it much better. I still love Kakashi and his porn book and there are just things in this anime that sticks out to you more than weak Dragon Ball IMO. Play the fighting game, it rocks. o_o
Dragonball is based on "Journey to the west."
The Super Saiyan is also quite prominant in most world mythology, stories of a golden warrior, stuff like that.
I agree but i believe One Piece does that far better.
Whatever the case, Naruto is still one of my favourite anime.
