Story & Characters

A nine tails demon fox attacks a hidden nija village. But one of the strongest ninjas seals the Demon Fox inside a newborn's body, Naruto's... This boy, when he grows up, wants to become the Hocage (leader of the village) but as noone really recognizes him, he has a long fight to give... Nice story, with many japanese culture but becomes kind of slow in the last shown episodes... The fights are very intense and everybody seems to be dedicated to his purpose. Will Naruto be able to become the strongest in the end?
Aiders in his journey will be his sensei (teacher) Kakashi and his two teamates Sasuke and Sakura. Everyone has his strong points but also his weak. So, they will have to battle even against themselves. It's an anime full of ninja action!

The turnovers are also something that will keep you in front of the screen. There is a lot of suspence and you will always be wondering what's going to happen in the nest episode.
Finally, the story of Naruto promotes moral values such as friendship and loyalty. This is a very good pointof it because it's an anime that has something to give.

Art

The artwork can be considered modern and accurate. The charachters have their own distinctive stye and various accessories that remind us of the imaginary world of the ninjas. Shurikens, swords and everything are very well drawn. The background are fine too and represent very nice the hidden village and also the outdoors... Everything looks alive. Sometimes, you will notice dissapointed that the artists were bored to give nice animation to some fighting scenes. This made me angry, but at least few are these scenes.

Sound

The sound is very nice. The music themes are various and the nature feels like real. The music changes many times during the fights but sometimes you will notice that it's always the same rhymes... They are of course many but since they are changed all the time, they pass on quickly. In general the audio part of this anime is above just good. The CD which contains the OST can prove this. Generally, the rhymes are strong, matching to the fast paced battles, something that can transfer very well the passion of this anime to you.

Presentation

This is considered one of the best animes released in 2004... It has become a very important anime for all otakus and serves its famousness well since every episode tends to go even deeper in Naruto's story. Unfortunately, during the last aired episodes, the progress is mede even more slowly and there are many fillers. Since the series follow the manga, there must be some time between the manga relased and the episodes, and that's the problem. Naruto will make everyone really love it because it's one of the addictive animes. The characters seem to be alive and it won't be ridiculous if you fall in love with Hinata or want to be like Naruto. I reccomend this extraordinary anime as a must-see. It may not be deeply-thought as the Evangelion but it sure is among the best...
Finally, you can read the manga that started it all... it may be exactly the same as the anime but in many scenes you will end up laughing on the floor. Just watch Kakashi talk in his calmness or watch Naruto yelling... This anime will definately steal your heart...
