My little brother showed me the manga in Shonen jump, hearing that it was also an anime, we decided to download a few episodes to see what it was like and I became hooked. Usually I give an anime some time before I decide wether it's going to be good or not, but with Naruto I pretty much knew right away.

well for me, i used to play ragnarok online (an online rpg) and in the game a belonged to a clan named after the naruto anime, i was curious why we were called that and what it was about. my friend told me soo i then went off and tried it out to see what teh hype of it was about. and gee IT HAS BEEN THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE!

looking for a new anime over a year ago, and I came across episode 5 of naruto. i watched all five and I was a little dissapointed because iwas really getting good. the next week there was #6, the week after 7. that is when I realized that it was still running in japan.

Well like 3 years ago i read an issue of shonen jump and the manga was in it. But i wasn't really intrested in it at that point. Then like 5 or 6 months ago my friend told me there was a really cool anime out and i had to check it out. He gave me the url to TW's site and that was when i really started to like it.
hm it's kinda weird. When i first read it i thought it was just some stupid manga about ninjas. But now i think its one of the greatest anime/manga's ever.

Same thing with one piece. I read a chapter like 3 years ago and i thought it sucked. And then like two days ago i started watching the anime and i really like it.

my friend got all these animes, mostly old already finnished series, and the ones he liked most he showed me. they were trigun, witch hunter robin, hellsing, and, saving the best for last, Naruto. so up until ep 58 i got them from him. i used to have a 56K but now have DSL and download them myself.

**Shinji Ikari** · Sat, 03-13-2004, 10:34 AM

I heard about the anime on the net from a friend and checked it out. It only took one ep to hook me up on it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

**ssjtrunks585** · Sat, 03-13-2004, 11:30 AM

i subscribed to shonen jump (got that through the DBZ card game), read Naruto in the second issue, and then saw the anime online...i ve been with it since ep 1

**Uberbaka** · Sat, 03-13-2004, 12:26 PM

After coming home from a Lan i had a shitload of anime which included Naruto 1-the middle of the haku thingie.... So i was left hanging in the middle of the drama which i couldnt stand so i started downloading regularly.

**makkura** · Sat, 03-13-2004, 12:40 PM

mostly due to buzz.

everyobody was talking about it at toryama's world so one day i decided to check it out.
i was instantly hooked, so hooked that after that the anime wasn't enough so i bought a disc containing naruto in manga form on a cd, then i looked at the names of the person translating and eventually found my way here.

**The_Fourth** · Sat, 03-13-2004, 01:11 PM

I started watching Naruto around The Chuunin Exam saga, ever since Ive been watching it.

**tensai** · Sat, 03-13-2004, 02:41 PM

i first heard of it from one of my friends in college, last year
then about a week later one of my other friends came over and just happened to have a couple of episodes on CD, he showed me parts of the sasuke vs oro fight and the gaara and lee fight.
after that i got hooked

My mother was a librarian and now does graphic novel reviews for Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA), Diamond Comics Distributors, and does book selection for Brodart. Among the companies that send her free graphic novels is Viz, who sent her Naruto vol. 1 (before it hit stores). I didn't really read it at that point, I just sort of looked through it.

Last semester when I was at college, someone brought in this new series called Naruto and we watched all the way up to where the people giving that person the CDs was at. The first time I watched, I recognized the Title logo as that one manga I saw at home (one among many, it just has taht distinktive font). I sort of dropped off of watching before episode 40 (personal/achademic problems), and when I got back home for Winter Break (and this semester, and the next few years) I got Bit Torrent (couldn't download through the damn campus firewall) and picked up where I left off. I also picked up vol 2 of the official manga release, and plan to keep getting them as they come out (though I wish they'd come a little faster). And since then it has gone on to become my favorite anime series.
