For me, it was a girl I dated while living in Japan. I am originally from America, but I dated a young girl here for a year and a half and I learned kanji at the school. I buy the manga every week it's out, and sometimes help translate it. Sometimes I enjoy trolling NB when I am bored. Tonight I am in a good mood.

How are you lot doing, and what started you on the manga?

I flipped to Cartoon Network and saw Orochimaru deep-throating a scroll, let's just say he became my favorite character.

Is searching for scroll-throaters on TV a regular pastime for you?

After getting bored from watching naruto fillers, I went to the library and discovered some volumes which I started to read. Now I just read online.

Yeah kind of, I have to find someone to satisfy me. It's silly I know, but I get it down in there pretty fast, and pray they don't choke.

I used to watch the anime subbed back in like 5th grade on youtube because I hated waiting for new eps on CN, and I watched most of the fillers because I didn't know what filler was, I thought it was a part of the main story. While I was watching that Gaara filler I saw a comment saying the characters grew up in the manga and stuff so I found what they were talking about on OneManga and started reading the manga from there. Good times...

My sisters friend was watching a Naruto AMV and that was pretty much the progenitor.

I was waiting for dragonball z on toonami, but instead they air this shit.!!

Me and my brother were so mad that they just ended dbz right in the middle of nowhere, that we don't watch Tv for next few days.!!

after I calmed down, I watched it, since as a child all you do is watch cartoon network.!!

:win:

I got started on the manga after the anime, and the anime after the game, and the game after I played it with one of my friends (who still plays the games sometimes and doesn't really follow the story lol. For me it's reversed.).

I watched it on toonami, they had slowed down once rock lee's fight happened and I don't think we got episodes for a little while. I was in 6th grade when I first started, then when I was in 7th grade my brother's old best friend when they were sophomores told me he watches it in Japanese and I thought it was the weirdest thing in the world and he was telling me all this stuff like naruto learns how to use wind, and I was imagining kid Naruto using wind style lol, and he told me Sasuke leaves the village to join orochimaru and I was like WTFFFFFF tripping balls and then at the point he was at he was saying Sasuke was making a team and he had just recruited a white hair water style user. He kept saying something about manga or mangos or something lmao. I didn't know where he got this information from I was so confused then he showed me narutocentral.com and I watched all these filler episodes and then I tripped even harder balls when I saw the preview for shippuden at the end of the naruto fillers then after watching shippudens first 10 episodes I was like omfg this is so slow I can't wait this long. And I had assumed my brothers friend had leaks or something so I searched all over the Internet for naruto leaks and didnt find shit. I started youtubing stuff about naruto I then started finding bull shit manga panels of minato being the Akatsuki leader and then that's when I first saw manga even tho I thought it was fanmade. I was totally convinced it was real, then I had saw the chapter on YouTube about Sasuke losing his body then being a 7th grade Sasuke fapboy who just discovered the manga I immediately started the manga during the kazekage arc and started with the Itachi pursuit arc then read backwards then read forward lol. Honestly I can't believe I've been reading the manga since 7th/8th grade and now I'm in my 4th semester of college and still reading chapters every week. Blows my mind how far we have all come. That's my story. I was literally tripping balls and fanboying once the world of manga opened to me. Unfortunately I never started bleach or got deep enough in one piece to have followed as far as I have w naruto and I'm afraid it's too late now :( I feel like Naruto is definitely the easiest to get through in the big 3 bleach and one piece are dragged out I've heard

Back in high school I would always see the same group of dorky nerds playing magic and wearing forehead protectors. They would run around doing hand signs trying to cast jutsus and shit. I would see that same damn group doing the same thing all 4 years in high school and thought they were retarded. I had no idea what they were doing until one night I was watching cartoon network and Naruto came on. It was during the forest of death. After that was history lol.

I watched the anime on cartoon network back in 2007. I started reading the manga right when oro was about to get revived.
