Yes, I've heard that this anime is very alike Naruto.
So I wonder if this is about a 10-year old kid who was abandoned by his parents and now if that little kid wants to be a pro ninja.

I'm sorry for being rather biased, but I'm a stereotype Naruto hater, which is why I'd like to know a little bit more directly from people who've actually watched the show.

[Edit] Okay, the kid is 14 years... but still. Any Naruto "haters" watching this who enjoys this show, perhaps? :p

i wouldnt recommend this show to anyone who liked naruto. i think they will dropped this show very soon, because they wont get the action they wanted.
it is very different in my opinion, the story is more complex,it has more twist and i think females will enjoy this show much more than boys :3, because of some miharu XX yoite scenes. they are both males^^
by the way i am a naruto hater and i enjoyed this show^^

nope...

this anime is as close as being Naruto as Fate Stay Night is to Naruto.

and yes... a lot of Miharu x Yoite goodness....

and I want to take Yoite home. I wish I had his plushie....

experience tells me that females will tend to enjoy this series much more than males (although there are exceptions....)
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Yeah, beyond the general premise (i.e. ninjas) it's absolutely nothing like Naruto. I've been a slightly disappointed as a fan of the manga (which does a better job with Miharu's character, I think) but I'm still enjoying it. Less action than Naruto, and the Miharu x Yoite stuff is sure to drive off a good portion of that crowd, but it has more depth and character development than the former and looks a lot better too.

I don't hate Naruto - in fact, I managed to enjoy at least parts of the original despite its many flaws - but Nabari no Ou is definitely geared towards a different crowd - more towards Naruto haters than Naruto fans.

In short Naruto is more for kids and this is more for Teen + Adults. Like everyone else said, if your not a Naruto fanboy you will love this.

The anime "Naruto" is for shounen, but "Nabari no Ou" is for the older audiences. People who found like the Naruto series would probably not have much interest in this one. The concept of the two animes can be summed up as:

Naruto = "Believe it! Never give up!!!"

Nabari no Ou = "If they want to make peace, make peace with them. If they show hostility, crush the enemies!!"

Get the drift?

Nabari No Ou and Naruto are completely different minus the ninja setting.

I like Naruto as well as Nabari No Ou and I also agree that NNO is more geared toward older audiences than Naruto. Just because you hate Naruto doesn't mean you'll neccessarily like or dislike NNO. =3

Nope, nothing like that at all. Thank God, since Naruto is a load of cr**.
