Naruto

Naruto is one o the greatest and most known animes of all time, other than Bleach and Inuyasha (my opinion.)
Naruto is all about Naruto wanting to become the Hokage and going on many adventures with his comrads, Sasuke and Sakura. Sakura doesn't really like Naruto, thinking he is clumsy and useless. Sakura rather hang out with Sasuke, her not-so secret admirer. Sasuke is sort of an enemy to Naruto, thinking that he is stupid and useless, like Sakura. All he wants to do is gain more power to face Itachi, his brother, to seek revenge on him for killing his parents. The leader of the group is Kakashi, who actually believes that Naruto has some potential. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke are the only students he passed through all his teachings. eventually, though, they all have to seperate from the group.
Overall, Naruto is a pretty amazing show. From the Animation to the storyline to the music, Naruto is truly amazing. I suggest all anime lovers should watch this show.

THE GOOD-You will definitely get pulled into this series after watching the first three episodes and want to watch it again. There is some violence and blood which l think is awesome . In general this awesome series will keep you glued to the screen with great action and comedy. I give it a nine out ten and recommend it to any anime fan out there. Trust me if you are an anime fan or are even thinking of starting to get into it this is the perfect series to get in

Although I will honestly say I need to catch up on this anime, it will forever be one of the most amazing action anime of all time!
I say this because I [sadly] have not enough time to catch up but have [sort of] kept up with the manga.
Yes, I may not be fit to review this manga and give it the ratings I did, but I still stick with my opinion of the series: "It's Nin-tastic!"
(Hmm, I'm not good at coming up with puns?)

Why is that?

It's because not only is the anime [extremely] unforgettable, but so is the manga! There's always fighting and the girls in this anime are actually included! Characters like Sakura fight and are fully capable of protecting themselves, where as in other manga, the girl is usually being protected by the male. No offense to boys out there but this is great for us females as it [kind of] proves we're not as weak as sterotypes say.
I only wished Sauske didn't turn to Orochimaru!
I also approve of the characters. Most of them have looks and attitudes that fit their roles prefectly well.
For example, take Orochimaru, himself! He obiviously looks like a character that has the "leader of the bad-guys" role! How can you not think he's good guy? Just look at what he did to poor Sakura & Nauto, both of whom are waiting for him return?

Yes I know I gave every catagory 5 stars, and the reason is because I absolutely love this series with my heart!
I will definately try to catch up on the anime after I finish up a few other certain series I'm currently watching.

So this is Aki's Review & Ratings of "Naruto".
Will be reviewing other animes soon!

Story:
Someone who already got bad 'label' from people around always tried to prove they-selves to every people whose underestimate them. This situation was a beginning of great life of Naruto Uzumaki, 13 years old Konoha Ninja. After got his forehead-protector which mean he's a Konoha's ninja, he met with his new teacher with his team, team 7 : Naruto + Sakura + Sauke + Kakashi (mentor). Kakashi Hatake recommend them to join Chuunin Exams. It was long story during exam days. Then, first big conflict happened in final round of exam. As some predicted, the exams are going the time for Orochimaru, former Konoha's great ninja starts his invasion of Konoha Village. Though his plan failed, the leader of Konoha village, Third Hokage had died, in order to protect villagers. Naruto with Jiraiya, one of great ninja went traveling around to search for new Hokage. Naruto gained much skill and jutsu during his adventure. Finally, after some messed up, both of them back to village and bring Tsunade, the-soon-to-be-Fifth Hokage along. Meanwhile, Sasuke have inner struggle to became more powerful. As Tsunade heard Sasuke run away from village and went to Orochimaru place, she sent Naruto and his friends, Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji, and Neji to chasing and bringing Sasuke back. But this isn't simple mission because there guardians (Orochimaru's man) whose are going to be fighting Naruto's team one by one. The main conflict happened here, Naruto vs Sasuke, the monster power inside Naruto battle with new great power which Sasuke just got. Sasuke mention Naruto is his best friend that's why they were fight until (almost) died. Back at village Naruto regret to Sakura, can't bring Sasuke back. After this variants missions story, and each character's past story were shown. Then begin to Naruto Shippuden.

Music:
There are so many opening and ending theme. That's for sure, this series have 9 season! Also, background music are synchronous, you could feel the story until bottom of your heart!

Characters
Many characters from each village, not just from Konoha Village. Don't forget for non-village characters. Also, child-version of each characters.

Animation
One word for this anime animation : GREAT!

......Overall? THIS IS MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE ANIME EVER!

In an effort to save his village from a raging monster known as Ninetails, the 4th Hokage sacrifices his life and seals the monster fox inside a newborn child. The child, Naruto, goes on to live his life without parents or loved ones while his entire village curses and blames him for the lives that where taken by the monster sealed inside him. Not knowing why no one will recognize his existence naruto is driven to become the next hokage, greatest ninja in the village, forcing everyone to recognize him. The story begins with Naruto going through ninja training and follows him as he meets two friends, sasuke another ninja in training bent on taking revenge for the murder of his entire clan and sakura a young female ninja who is in love with sasuke.

Naruto is an anime I really enjoy watching, its is packed full of action, comedy and yes even a little romance. The story line is very solid and there aren't many slow spots in this ongoing series. And if your wondering if its yet another Dragon ball like anime where it takes 4 episodes to get through fight between even minor characters, no it doesnt. Naruto manages to make the fight sequences intense without drawing them out over too many episodes. As the story progresses you continue to meet new characters and villains, the next more interesting than the one before. The animation and sound are both great with attention to detail.

The Naruto series from the beginning to 220 is a wonderful story, where you follow the life of Uzumaki Naruto. A crazy little boy who only wants attention and love. Inside him is a "Demon Fox" which is also called Nine-Tails. The story progresses from the point where he is a noisy adolescent with no regards for rules. You will see him laugh, love and fight his way towards his goal of becoming the Hokage one day. At first I recognized him as one of my school mates which had ADD, constantly hyper and out of control. But following the story of Naruto made me realize what was behind his behavior and I must say I sympathize with him now. Also for those who just started this adventure into the world of ninjas, beware of the fillers. However tedious for us to endure, they provide more information and background into how well written these stories were. After watching the original 220 episodes of Naruto, I started watching Naruto Shippuden. Which is a continuation of the story where there is more action, more love and a heck of a lot of surprises along the way.

Uzumaki Naruto, love him for what he is or leave him to those of us who do ^.^
