Share your naruto story

[Darkrai03]

how did you guys got into naruto. My story, first i'll tell you how i got into anime. I was in a website called letmewatchthis and i was searching throught the animation section, then i came across dbz Freeza was on the cover holding a pink energy ball and i though it looked cool so i checked it out. After searching dbz in other websites i came to knowledge of anime, then i watch guyver, s-cry-ed and such. I started looking for longer anime and i came across naruto after watching first episode i did not like it at all, i didn't like naruto's design and how he could make so many clones, i was very judgmental back then when it came to anime. After couple of day i noctes that it was very popular so gave it another shot, i skiped strait to episode 5 it was around when Kakashi was testing naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. After watching Zabuza arc i was hooked to the series. After Naruto vs Sasuke episodes seemed episodic, i was like what happened, i didn't know that manga exsisted back then or about fillers, but i still watched every single episode.

Toonami, well, for naruto. My first anime was Yu Yu Hakusho and it used to be on cartoon network 6:00 every weekday.

How I got into anime: My sister went to college, I found Inuyasha and her room and watched it.

How I got into Naruto: At first I judged it, thinking it looked boring. Then one night I was like, "There's nothing good to watch... I'll watch Naruto I guess." Been watching/reading it since then.

[Dreckerplayer]

Well, i saw various teasers on Cartoon Network before it aired in U.S.

The first time I watched it was 05-06 with my cousin on toonami.

The show was perfect in my eyes.

[Mihaelz]

First episode on Tv, while eating captain crunch, back when I was in middle school.

[The Hidden Shinobi]

Yep, everyone got hooked after the zabuza arc, what an amazing arc that was and showed what to expect from this series. The sadness, the nine tails, sharingan, masked ninja, etc..

Anyway, pretty lame story my friends were talking about it and I thought what the hell is naruto so when it came on I watched it so I could not get left out in the conversations.

They stopped airing Naruto in the uk after that stupid run idate run BS. I'm guessing that shit filler dropped the ratings.

But anyway I realised I actually liked this show and still wanted to watch it so I searched it in youtube to see what might happen later then I was seeing neji vs someone and naruto and sasuke fighting and I was like I have to watch this series

[★Fanta]

My friend told me to watch the first episode.. I did and almost cried at it (lol)

Been hooked ever since

Toonami @ 8PM On Saturdays. Naruto was starting to air and then i saw Naruto and Sasuke kiss and then i saw the Naruto do his Sexy no jutsu and i was like What kind of Gay shit is this? I never got into it until 2008 I saw Shippuden Online but then fillers started and i stopped watching came back and then i found out about the manga (Yes silly me) I caught up and here i am.

Had seen some DBZ in a young age, and of course I saw silver as well. Then about 7 years ago, the first episodes of Naruto anime started being popular among some of my friends back then. I was living at school, so we just hang out at the evening, and watched a few episodes every every day. So when the school ended, and I later reached the last chapter. I also started watching Bleach at the time, later then of course began reading both mangas, since I couldn't wait for the episodes to come out
