Ok, first things first. Im a girl. I'm more of a shoujo person. And at first I thought Naruto was stupid. I like animes like Ouran High school or Fruits Basket, But even if you are like me and you don't like action, let me tell you this: YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT!!! After watching the first ten episodes I fell in love with it. And in a month, I'm already done with the first season of Naruto (220 episodes) and now waiting for the 336th episode of Naruto Shippuuden to be released.
The art isn't bad, and I just love the characters. Naruto is really really funny, you have to make sure you go take a piss before you watch an episode. I may make it sound very calm, but the author did a really really good job at blending blood, fighting, comedy, and a tiny bit of love in it. There are a lot of morals, like "never give up". It's not too confusing to understand all the concepts of the shinobi. I really really enjoyed the story and the characters. A MUST WATCH FOR GUYS AND GIRLS EVEN!!! Well, maybe I'm overrating it a bit, but this is one of the best, funniest, most actiony animes out there!
