Firstly story is awesome but has some minor setback & those to due to some more than needed fillers , but anyway i being a really big fan of ninjas like it very much , Don't think too much & just go for it , those who do think too much of the story just end up finding flows , i can find major flaws in series like FMA also but then again i just accept the series for it offers
One thing i like is , unlike One Piece Naruto has properly divided the story in intervals , so you may expect any big saga to last a proper 30-40 episodes max , whereas in one piece i used to get bored with each saga lasting 60+ episodes that was too annoying
Animation >>>
It is definitely great but the characters could have been made too look like real ninjas , i somehow don't like that characters don't cover up their faces with masks , this is rather related to drawing ut anyway since there isn't a drawing rating thing i am writing this here , apart from that the animation in fight scenes is especially awesome with all the chakara effects , in chidori & rasengan
Sound >>>
Well the flute sound effects are just too awesome & it's been 3 years now since i started watching naruto & still the flute sound effects for the good guy characters are way too awesome than any soundtrack i ever heard
Characters >>>
Now you will be annoyed by some of the young characters but it overall i feel please use the japanese voice , as i feel VIZ Have not done justice to the character of naruto , because of his screeching voice , the fat chick that did his dubbing should be fired , i like the English dub apart from that & yeah you will be more attached to the characters as the story progresses , if you don''t believe me , i guarantee that those of you who look for emotions in anime will like Chouji once you see episodes from 130 - 135 , other characters also grow on you once the series progresses , one thing i would like too point out is i hate Alphonse elric from fma coz he is too annoying with his goody goody attitude in even the darkest situation like not killing homonculus even if they are killing people elrics love , but in naruto i did not find any character who does not understand the situation & act totally different in a irritating manner , so yeah characters are really good
I Personally like characters who i can idolize & who encourage me , as these are the people who can do no wrong & so i like to look up to them instead of real life people who have some dirt on them always , with that said Naruto is the perfect person to look up to as a role model especially when he grows up in shippuden , but that is a different tale
Enjoyment >>>
It is a perfect blend of action , comedy & knows when to relieve you from all the action & knows how to boost your excitement with memorable fights , so be sure that when you watch this anime you will never regret viewing it
