Nabeshin being Awesome

After the 5th time i still cant stop laughing.

Old Idea- New Anime

Lately I havent been watching that much anime. But what I have been watching I havent been able to put down. I originally figured that Naruto would be just another americanized anime for 10 year olds, Like OnePiece. But once the Chuunin exams started I got more and more interested. Eventually i finished off the Chuunin exams on youtube and by that point i was hooked. After spending an otuka amount of time looking stuff of in wikipedia and google sites I started skipping around to episodes that sounded good. Now I've gotten back into watching them in order but thats almost a curse in itself. The episodes draw you in with an insane amount of anticipation.
What I really enjoy about Naruto is that the main character doesnt have to be the center of the story. There are so many characters with a background history for most of them that the character you end up liking the most you end up seeing almost as much as the main character. I have to liken this to Dragon Ball Z in the sense that i haven't watched a good fighting anime thats this long for years. The arcs can seem alittle long sometimes but its nothing compared to DBZ. Another thing that I really like about Naruto is the animation. It stays pretty consistently good for most of the anime but for special scenes the animation budget skyrockets. I fisrst noticed that the fight scene with Orochimaru and the Third Hokage not only looked better than usual but that the style changed. In the second fight with Sasuke the characters and the fighting looks almost Fooly-Cooly-esque. All in all right now im having alot of fun watching Naruto and I would suggest this title to anyone how likes classic action with a new edge.
