Naruto

It took me quite awhile before I was able to get into Naruto. I had seen it advertised on Cartoon Network and found the animation to be corny at best. I wasn’t really into the whole crazy facial expressions and Japanese humor. Most of my friends watched it and thought that it was the greatest thing, so I gave it a try. I found myself more and more drawn into the story than the actual animation. The characters were also fascinating to me. Since then I’ve been keeping up the series, and I’m glad I did. The story starts out so simple, and is about a little misunderstood boy named Naruto who has a demon sealed inside him. Each episodefollows him on his quest to become excepted inside his village. He trains as a ninja with two companions who greatly dislike him and an odd Sensei. I’ve been able to watch him learn and grow though his experience both physically and mentally.

Two hundred some episodes the quality of the story has greatly improved. The series took an unknown twist half-way through the season before the newer episodes called Shippuuden were aired. The animation aspect also improved. Just a few weeks ago while watching a Shippuuden episode I noticed that yet again the animation has improved. The storyline is starting to come together and doesn’t just revolve around Naruto.
