Compliments of Ryuujin
Heres where i am going to post the most essencial Naruto infromation so taht you understand what everyone is talking about
Right first things first
Chakra - This is like Ki from dbz but it runs on a system of chakra lines within the users body. Chakra is consumed when users use Ninjutsu's and Genjutsu's. Stamina ie human energy is consumed when using Taijutsus. Stamina has to be converted into chakra.
The three *main* techniques
Ninjutsu - This is the use of ninja techniques like special attacks that consume chakra. Genjutsu - This is illusionary techniques. Taijutsu - This is hand to hand combat.
There is also a 4th called Kinjutsu - This is a forbidden technique. It can be any of the above 3
Basic terms: Henge - Transform Kage - Shadow Karuami - Body switch

I had my doubts about this anime.. I haven't seen it yet, but since the concept is something that I love (super powers, heroes, special attacks, awesome battles, martial arts etc.), I'm gonna give it a try. The didn't like the screenshots that I've seen though, (the animation/drawing). I've been expecting something like dbz/kenshin/yu yu. Maybe it's all in my mind. I'm going to watch this series, and hopefully I'll love it

Although is does tend to slip from time to time but you can always be sure that the important episodes look awesome. This anime could easily rival DBZ when it is released to the rest of the world, provided it is subbed with quality subs. And i have never met a person who has watched the first episode of Naruto and hasnt been instantly hooked! *watches first episode again ;D*

Excellent I'm at episode 50 now. My only complaint is, why does the main character look like a useless punk kid (I mean too noisy, acts immature, annoying everyone etc). I hope he was like Sasuke. By the way the story is going, it seems like Sasuke is the main character and Naruto is just a sidekick I hope that there would be a point where it shows that Naruto is indeed the main character. I also would love to see what kind of power the old geezer (hokage) has, also more about the coolest character - Kakashi! Can't wait to see the rest!

episode 78 and 79 will be the defining point where you see the difference between Sasuke and Naruto. I like Naruto's personality, i disslike sasuke's though he he shows he is more then just a "too cool for you" character down the road..

It's been pretty good so far I have to say that this could very well be one of the best anime there is (ever was). I don't know if I should read the manga..I heard that manga is traditionally black and white, and I don't know how pleasant it would be to read a black and white comic

trust me, at first, i thought it would be boring, but it's relly good. it's also way ahead of the anime, so once you've watched all the eps, start reading the manga (that's what i did, and i got no regrets ), or whenever
