Naruto: Review
written by Cyclone Shinobi
Plot
Perhaps the best part of Naruto is its ability to flow. Although the series can be broken down into sagas and arcs, it flows as though it is a complete point in time, with missions and exams thrown in throughout the series. Naruto is a story about ninjas (shinobis), but there isn't that much blood and gore. There is mild swearing, and little to no nudity (except for the Sexy no Jutsu). Naruto combines humor, adventure, drama, mystery, suspense, and fantasy all into one awesome action-packed adventure.
Characters
The characters are some of the most interesting yet mysterious characters featured in a single story. Each character has their own background, morale, and goal; a reason for which they exist. The main characters of the anime are Uzumaki Naruto, a fearsome young boy with the dream to become Hokage of the Leaf Village, Uchiha Sasuke, a prodigious heir to the Uchiha clan whose one goal is to kill the person who he despises more than anyone else, Haruno Sakura, a pensive girl who is very intelligent, but has yet to show her full strength, and Hatake Kakashi, an eccentric jounin (high-level ninja) of the Leaf who will protect his comrades no matter what the situation may be. Don't be fooled, there are many more characters from other teams, with other ambitions and personal beliefs. As the story progresses, the characters are introduced. The good thing about Naruto is that there is a plentiful supply of characters who are all introduced in a timely pace.
Animation
Top quality. This is probably one of the best animated anime out there. The graphics are crisp and clean, and there are hardly ever any graphic mistakes. Though I never recommend judging an anime solely on animation quality, Naruto would definitely receive a 9.5/10 in terms of quality.
