Naruto

One of the most famous anime to ever be aired. Even people who don't usually watch anime have heard of Naruto from somewhere or the other. But I can say without any hesitation that Naruto has earned the popularity with its amazing plot which is full of deep mystery, heart gripping action, unexpected twists and not to mention the comic factor that forces you to roll over in a fit of laughter.

I doubt there is anybody who needs to know the basic story line, but I'll still go over it briefly. Naruto is a boy ninja from a village called the Hidden Leaf Village which is full of both commoners who live peaceful lives and other Ninja who protect the village. A strong spiritual beast called the nine tails fox was sealed inside him when he was just a baby causing him to have a sad and mostly lonely childhood. He dreams of someday becoming the greatest Ninja and to be Hokage (village head). In the series you see him grow up (if you were an early watcher you also grew up with him) and actually begin to understand him. His undieing will and resolution to protect those close to him as he grows older causes him to grow stronger and stronger and face even more enemies. Sasuke and Sakura are his best friends who have major roles in the plot, especially Sasuke who has a shady past. This unique setup has much to offer to all its viewers, with a lot of secrets and mind blowing events that you can only know about if you watch the series.

The drawbacks are excessive childish jokes and useless fillers along with over stretching of unimportant events that can be irritating.

I give Naruto a 9 1/2. You would be missing out on something great if you don't watch this.
- I would recommend 'www.narutospot.net' to watch the series.
