Did you think it was any good when you first watched the show on Cartoon Network? What did you think?
Too childish??
Too talkative??
..or just an o.k. show??

The first time i saw it i was like "I'm never gonna watch this show."... But one day i saw an episode with shikamaru, and i was like " This is actually a really good show." A little bit after that it soon became one of my favorite shows, and the rest was history... XD

My first impression of Naruto was "Oh it's that retarded show." I thought it was plan stupid. Out of all of my friends, I was the one who didn't like Naruto, plus I didn't even know what it was about. All I knew was that it were about Ninjas, and a fox. I only knew this information because I would listen to my friends conversations about the show. Finally one day, my friend told me to watch Naruto. I kept on protesting, but I finally gave in and started watching the show. I think it was the episode where Jiraiya pushes Naruto over a cliff, so that Naruto would summon Gamabunta. I started to like the episode as it continued on. I then watched the episode after that.
After that I watched at least 15-30 episodes a day or even more. My parents thought I was crazy, looking at the computer screen for a million hours straight. I admit to my friend that I was in love with Naruto, the show.
I talked to my friend about what happened, and slowly, my friend started to hate Naruto. I guess that is what happens when your best friend starts to like Naruto... you start to hate it. I still love Naruto!

I first saw a glimpse of Naruto durring the first 'Naruto-Years-Eve' Marathon. I only saw a minute or two, with haku. And I though, 'Nah I don't really like the style.' It wasn't until I saw my first full episode, the end of the Zabuza saga where Haku died, and I though' Hey this is cool'. After that i watched it every weak and grew to love it...of coarse now I'm a fanatic.
Also, when i saw a trailer on Cartoon Network...i kinda thought that Naruto's jumpsuit was the uniform, and that there was a lot of blond kids.
(yeah it was my first time seeing shadow clone jutsu)

I used to think that it was the dumbest thing ever created! The reason why was I saw a preview of it and the first thing I saw as the Sexy jutsu! That's why I hated and then my brother got the video game I didn't feel like playing but my brother urged me to play it! then my brother decided to actually watch the episodes on youtube and he was watching the episode with Rock Lee vs. Gaara and I imediatley got hooked! then I started watching the Japanese version and then I started reading ahead in the Mangas before I knew I knew more about Naruto then my brother, and his friends who introduced him to Naruto!

I first saw it on Cartoon Network when it first aired. I thought it was interesting for a while. Up until when Sasuke and Naruto got caught in Haku's Ice mirrors. I don't know if I just have a terrible attention span but it felt like they were trapped in there for like 20 episodes. So I just stopped watching it for a while. Then a few months later I got bored and decided to try it out again in the japanese language and loved it.

way back when, my friends would play Naruto in the woods. i would be like, what the hell are you guys doing? they would use moves and stuff like Rasengan and stuff like that. they were like "OH, you should start watching it, it's awesome!" i was like sure, but i was like, i'll never like that show, it's so stupid.
then during the summer i started watching it on youtube, and then i got hooked on it. during the chuunin exams Gaara started to get to me, and he suddenly became my favorite. once i got caught up with the tv schedule, i would watch the reruns until i caught up with the new episodes. and then i became a Narutard and watched it ever since. i just started reading the manga at a local bookstore too :D

i loved it on cartoonnetwork and the anime i mean it was perfect i loved naruto as a character, because he had so much dept and passion. For being a ninja, also u can relate to his struggles as he is an orfant and didnt have any parents or freinds from birth to teach him anything. So he struggle to gain nortariaty, as he struggle I was hanging on to every effort to see him succeed and he did but he also failed so he was more human
BUT AFTER THE CAPTURE SASUKE ARC I HATE HIM AS A CHARACTER HE IS ON RELATABLE HE IS SIMPLY ANNOYING SASUKE IS WHO I LIKE BECAUSE HE WAS DELT THE REAL BLOW

Believe it or not, I used to be an anime hater. I really disliked everything about it. I really hate its art style and questioning why they have such big eyes even though their Japanese. I really hated shows like DBZ, Sailor Moon, and Gundam series.
Ackwardly when my cousin (who is a big anime/manga friend) subscribed me to Shonen Jump. THe first thing I see is a orange wearing kid on the cover. Later on I started actually liking the manga. And just to tell you, I liked Naruto way before it became licensed. It was because of Naruto that I started liking anime/manga. To bad Naruto now is going downhills because the author is running out of ideas.

Honestly it was Clash of Ninja 2 that got me watching the show.
But what really made me like Naruto was Rock Lee's fight in the Chuunin Exams. I was seriously choked up! I almost felt like crying!!! And it was my first three episodes!
But once I saw Neji, I was hooked.

I first saw Naruto at a friends house and I was all like "WTF?" My friend was a big fan of the show so he was telling me everything about it and at that time I just thought that it was pretty lame. I went home that night and I had seen an ad on the Internet about it so I'd figured watch the first few episodes on YouTube.
Later, I seriously began to appreciate the subbed episodes more than the dubbed ones...American voice actors make it sound like crap.

Well, I read the manga before the Anime had ever come to the US yet, and I found it very interesting and liked it, but soon became hooked, but I didnt become addicted truly, until it released on cartoon network. I thought it looked like to me, my next fav show, and low and behold, it is! ^^ I started reading in the Chunin Exams, and started the anime in order. ^^
Well, I first found out about it through the magazine SHONE JUMP, it has manga chapters, its on like Shipuuden 11 thuogh....I thuoght it was retarded, I first started likeing it when it appeared on CN, now I just read the newest manga from SI.
thats where I discovered it! The ORGIONAL American Shonen Jump issue 12 I beleive it was...as for my opinion of the english dub..I didnt think it was that bad at all, aside from Naruto saying 'believe it' too much I though the dub was great..then i started to watch it in japanese and realised the difference XD, tho I think the VA of Kakashi and the VA of Sasuke were handled well in the DUB.
almost everyone here started out by hating it
Well, I sorta did sorta didnt, I kinda didnt like it (but secretly did and lied to myself..long story) until I read it for the first time, then as soon as I did, I was hooked! Then awhile later, it was on cartoon network as a cartoon!
I thought Naruto and Sakura and the others were already 14 or older, and that Naruto was just really dumb and immature. then I learned that they were actually 12
same, I was really surprised because they sooo dont look that young at all, course, they look like almost adults in shippuden!
As a side note: My first anime was Voltron, second was Pokemon..but what truly got me into anime was Zoids! After that I absorbed as much anime as I could..^^ now I'm an otaku! XD

The one thing that really annoyed me was you're trying to kill that guy so why are you wasting ten minutes explaining what you did and while you talk to your team mates why is he just idly standing there and patiently waiting for you to finish?
Now i don't even notice anymore, I just love it too much :laugh:

>.< The story line is one of the best, if not the best in anime and manga history. I dont understand how your mind works but maybe you should listen a bit more carefully because Ive never heard someone say the anime or manga didnt make sense and Ive discussed Naruto with 9 year olds so thats saying a lot about you.

Hated it, just seem uber gay and childish on so many levels. But once Zabuza showed up and Chunnin Exams started it really caught my attention but then the fillers started and my opinion reverted back to it being Uber gay then I heard about Shippuden and I'm alittle in between liking and hating it
I thought it was stupid at first. My brother watched it every week and I had to watch it too because our tv is in the family room and next to the kitchen. I think after watching it a lot I started to like it and now its my favorite show! I even watch the Japanese ones now.

i first watched Naruto on CN and i found it lame until i saw Kakashi and how cool he was. So i became addicted to it, been watching it everyday.
then CN cut it off coz they ran out of episodes so ive been searching for new eps on the net and i found the Jap versions which i find way better than the English ones.
Now that im watching the new eps in CN, i still vouch for the Jap subs. prolly i got used to Japs voices more than the english dubs.

I didn't really know about Naruto, until I got Naruto: Path of the Ninja (Just trying something new xD), and I liked the game, so I began watching the Naruto Episodes on YouTube.
Ever since I heard about SaiyanIsland (I forgot how did I find it), I download the episodes and watch them.

Like, when my favorite fanfic authors converted to the Naruto fandom, I got really mad XD And when my friends tried to convert me to Naruto, I refused to read or watch it since everyone else was watching it. Everywhere I looked there was suddenly just Naruto Naruto Naruto and I flat-out refused to acknowledge it because I didn't wanna be one of the sheep...
...then, I turned on the TV, and there was nothing better on, so I watched the Gaara vs Lee fight...since then, I've been addicted XDDD

The first time I saw Naruto was during the chunin exams when garra and lee were fighting and lee opened the fifth gate. I thought that episode was cool so I went on youtube and started watching the first few episodes. Once I saw Kakashi and Zabuza fight, then naruto leak some of the nine tails chakra when fighting Haku, I was hooked. Yeah, it has some stupid parts in it but its got some pretty cool parts as well.

09-09-2008, 12:37 PM
I began watching Naruto as a past-time. Little did i know that i was going to be a HUGE fan. It's drama, comedy and action gave ùe a direct hit in the face and never stopped holding me. My favorite episodes are 17-19 and definately 76-85. Shippuuden is amazing too, i'm very fond of that show.
My first impression was: "Oh my god, another anime about sad overpowered children who happen to wear the same style of clothes".
Then after like... 3 seconds i thought: "Holy sh!t this is gonna be awesome".

09-17-2008, 08:14 PM
I never really knew about Naruto or what was going on in cartoon network since I was getting ready for school, shopping for clothes and supplies alot. So the night before 5th grade started when I had all my stuff I figured I might watch one last show for the night and check back up on cartoon network so they showed the first episode of a new series called naruto, I thought "hey might as well give it a try", and I did just that and really enjoyed it, mainly because I thought the ninja vests iruka and mizuke wore were just so cool. Almost like how I got hooked on dbz because I thought the scanners were cool.
I became a big fan and watched every new dubbed naruto episode since the first. As the episodes and days went by the ninja vests no longer kept me attached to the series since as I matured I came to enjoy and respect the plot, character pesonalitys, and overall storyline until I always thought about what would happen next after each episode. Finally the hokage vs. orochimaru battle came, but I had lost my patience with all the suspense of each ending so since I recently got the internet a friend told me about youtube where I watched the japanese versions to get ahead of the english series and so I would know automatically what happened, until I caught up with that too and switched over to the Manga here on Saiyan Island.
I'm now in 8th grade, and still a huge fan. Actually no, a huge fanatic of Naruto and dont plan on leaveing the series anytime soon unless it ends. (sorry about the long post its just since it was my first post I thought I might as well make it special) plus its great to be apart of the saiyan island community now unlike before I made my account when I just read what people thought I can respond too :D.

I started watching Naruto in the Zabuza battle so I didn't have a bad first impression..
I don't his name. But he had a sword wrapped up in some cloth. Is that Zabuza? My buddy's lil bro was watchign this and I was like wtf is this? I didn't mind it. I thought he was a lil overdramatic, but I kidna liked it hahaa. that wasn't the episode that got me hooked though. It was the one where SasGay and Naruto got trapped in some sort of Crystal/ICE? chamer w/ some quick dude. after that I said to my homie's lil bro. how much of these are there? he said a "couple hundred? IDK." So I hit up YouTUbe (last year) and was hooked from there. I'd load up like 16 tabs at a time and watch em all right away. I think I watched 220(?) Dattebayo (?that right) episodes right away in like a month ahahha. I can't seem to watch that stuff after watching Shipuuden though. they look too damn small and young now. :P . but yes back on point. I liked Naruto on the 1st impression, not a whole lot, but I thought heh was cool shyte.

I started with the American Shonen Jump Manga, and got it when they'd just gotten into the first phase of the Exams. I got the next one, too, but this was because of YGO. I was thinking it looked stupid; they were just school kids. Then, I got another issue (from school, because we had the Scholastic Book Orders) and I saw them fighting. Well, Sakura, really. I'd gotten my third issue when Sakura was fighting the Sound, and Lee was knocked out. Then I got it in time for Ino and Sakura's fight. After that was my subscription, because I liked more than two series in SJ. I got my new subscription just in time for Lee and Gaara's fight, and have only missed one issue since, because my father sent the re-subscription in a bit late. But I only missed the spy fight. Yuura and Kakashi's fight. (Fake Itachi and Yuura, and fake Kisame and Gai)
I started the ANime with the dub, and wanted to see it online, so I ended up with mostly Japanese instead. Then, I loved it. I was in the middle of filler when I saw the Manga, and started reading that. I believe I got to it pretty early around in Shippuuden. NOw I'm incredibly happy I started reading the "Stupid school kids series". And look, I even got an eventual username out of it all... :3

"oooh, wow (sarcasm) Ninja people that make jokes and kick each other's asses... fasinating." My little brother was all "It's the coolest thing ever!" Then, because i was lazy and didn't feel like getting up and leaving the room when he would watch 'em, I started to like 'em. By the time the chuunin exam arc was ending, I was hooked. I don't watch on cartoon network anymore. Instead i opt for the online subs and manga translations, cause i just can't bear to wait and watch/read it in english. :D
Ironically enough, my brother doesn't like the show anymore. lol!

I first got introduced it on episode 2 of the dub. For some reason I always miss the first episode of an anime. Always. I didn't like it at first, but I decided to watch a few more episodes so I could say for sure if I liked it or not. Episode 4 got me into the series. I heard Kakashi's voice and I remembered "Dave Wittenburg's in this?" and decided to watch further. I began to like Kakashi as a character, being by far my favourite at the time, and Zabuza got me hooked, or rather Steve Blum got me hooked. Eventually more and more people who voiced in digimon (my favourite anime from my pre-puberty years) appeared as cast in Naruto, and I became glad their voice talent was being put to good use.
I have watched the Japanese version, and seriously have NO complaints with the english cast.

The first time i saw it i was like "I'm never gonna watch this show."... But one day i saw an episode with shikamaru, and i was like " This is actually a really good show." A little bit after that it soon became one of my favorite shows, and the rest was history... XD

when i saw the ad i thought would be annopying because of naruto's voice and how fast he talked, but i ended up reading the books to see how good it really was and really liked. i started watching the anime after that

I first saw it on Cartoon Network and I hated it, it was so annoying with naruto's voice.
I came across it on the internet and watched the sub and that is what got me hooked.

My first impression was of the kids at my high school running around with the headbands on and wearing them all the time.....at my HIGH SCHOOL. So, needless to say I hated it at first. Then I started reading the manga. Then I got hooked. High school ruins a lot of things.

I have always been into anime from the fist of the north star, wicked city, vampire hunter d, just to name a few lol. But I really got into naruto when my brother was talking about the death of the third. At that time I was really into DBZ, but I'm the type of person who hates to be left out of a conversation. So I started watching naruto and haven't looked back :D

I was on a holiday in Queensland, and I was up at 11.00 at night, and watched an episode. I was hooked because of the animation style, and the plot, really.

I was bored, always an anime fan, so when Naruto first aired on cn I watched it, from the first episode, I thougt it was ok, but the end is what got me, wit iruka sensei, and naruto, looking out for eachother, and the story line behind it. even though it was an anime, it seemed to have a somewhat believable emotional balance to it, and the action got better throughout. sakura initially pissed me off wit her attitude towards naruto, hell it still does at times, but this is one of the best anime to me, I recognized it's potential for greatness from the beginning.lol

When I frist watched Naruto, it was the first episode and I thought that it was actually kinda funny, and I was hooked! Lol but at the same time it was stupid, like the stupid funny show like Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy! xD

At first,I thought naruto was about a retarded kid with yellow hair,an emo phsychopath,and an obsessive stalker.By episode 5,I started to like it.Shipuuden is even better.

the first time I saw naruto I thought Great another show about ninja's the first three episodes I kind of started to change the channel but then the first mission episodes caught my attention. when it hit the chunin exams I was impressed I thought it was a stupid show but then I realized during the chunin exam arcs It just took time for it to spice up abit so now I'm truly glad I didnt change the channel:cool::cool:
