i can't say i've watched too much anime, but i've seen enough to think that as a chinese, since our written language is similar to the kanji of the japanese, that naruto names are really hard to pronounce and just don't sound good compared to all the other animes i've watched... the character's names are either complex (as in the words are a bit harder than usual) and doesn't have the right ring to it...

i've watched flame of recca, saint seiya, yuuyuu, and a whole bunch of other stuff in chinese so this one is a shocker
