Welcome to my Naruto section. This anime is one of my favorites, mainly because it is the one I am currently watching. I like to think of it as a Kenshin about ninjas. What is great about the anime is the fact that it is very spontanous while keeping a terrific story. One epiosde will be the most dramatic and depressing episode while the next is complete humor. It mixes together so well that you can't help but be impressed. The ninjas in training have to work in groups of three with a lead ninja. The group that Naruto ends up in is, Him, Sakura(the girl he likes), and Sasuke(the guy she likes). Sakura is very smart, Naruto is very loud and Sasuke is very quiet and talented, kind of anti-social.
With most anime you ask what makes these kids so special, you have a whole village of shinobi (ninja). These are just kids fresh out of what we would consider high school. There are tons of Shinobi ten times better at least, why is this story based on these kids. Well the answer is simple, with most anime these kids are special, one has a dormant demon in him and the other has blood which gives him special abilities. There is story wrapped all around these kids waiting to be unrolled and read just like the scrolls that are used in their more powerful Jitsu's (Techniques). Well kids, this is a very highly recommended anime and if you got the computer and the spare time for it grab it when its fresh and I mean fresh, this anime is still being subbed.
