This is an awesome anime and Naruto Shippuden is more and more nice I would advice every body to watch it where it talks about a whole life of a boy who is really a good friend.

From what information I've gathered season one covers a total of 35 episodes, whether this is true or not, or just true of the U.S. run of the show, I do not know, but I will be basing my review off of episodes 1-35. As far as I'm concerned this anime is fantastic. It's the story of a young ninja who's viewed as an outcast of society. His only dream is to become the most powerful ninja he can so that others will accept him. Throughout his journey to be the best he fights powerful rivals and forms strong bonds with others. Season 1 does a fantastic job of introducing us to the characters and their world right off the bat without sacrificing the main plotlines. This is extremely impressive of any anime, but Naruto deserves the most praise for it because it has so much going on in it. It continually gets better as it progresses, and it really hits its stride when events revolving around the Chunin exam arc start showing up. This is when more of the phenomenal supporting characters start showing up. It's also when the show takes a dramatic improvement in its animation. The whole theme of the anime is about watching these characters learn, live, and fight while they are yet still growing up. It's emotional, funny, and downright shockingly violent at times considering that the main characters are all just kids. This is a rare anime that can appeal to adults and kids alike. So if you haven't checked out Naruto yet I recommend that you do. Season 1 is fantastic, and it only gets better from there.… Expand

- Good Characters
- Good Backstorys
- Good Storytelling
- Good Characters Designs

Cons:
- Fillers
- A little infantilize

I admittedly liked this show when I was younger, but with boring characters that are overly melodramatic, painfully slow "action", and a plot that's dragged out through almost 30 Seasons (including Shippuden), I can't think of many things I wouldn't rather do than watch this garbage again.

I hated this show. I didn't watch the entire series, but I just couldn't. I don't actually watch anime for comedy, I watch it for action with story and mixes of emotion. This has action and comedy, but the story is just so incredibly dull and stupid that I wanted to gouge my eyes out. All myI hated this show. I didn't watch the entire series, but I just couldn't. I don't actually watch anime for comedy, I watch it for action with story and mixes of emotion. This has action and comedy, but the story is just so incredibly dull and stupid that I wanted to gouge my eyes out. All my friends were like "Oh, well it gets better! Just keep watching" but I just couldn't. It's bad. Maybe if you're a small child or if you have a bad taste in comedy, you'd enjoy it. But if you like shows like Death Note or Fullmetal Alchemist, forget about this.… Expand
