How did you get into naruto

[Thekiddreamer]

SO before naruto i didn't know about what anime is, only would watch dbz on my cartoon network and i got into dbz because of vegeta so it was sumer time

Me, whenever i would see advertisement of naruto on my channels i would get sooo freaking mad, seeing a stupid kid saying belive it made me wanna smack his face lol, so one day it was summer i was in 6th grade back from boarding school

i was changing channel and i stopped at CN, saw zabuza vs kakshi fight and kakashi voice made me stay for 5mins then zabuza kicking kakashi ass made me hook for more 5mins but after naruto gave that speech and got his headband made me almost hook and whatever was left was done when naruto soloed zabuza XD

i became a fan then and became a real fan when i fnished all naruto episode XD

I'D like to hear your story how you all got into it

By watching the anime on Toonami at around 12 years old,I didn't get into the manga until much later though.

 

[Mahesvara]

Like most people I watched it on toonami when I was younger.

I was asked to download it for a friend who told me it was epic, so I decided to give it a try. Best decision I ever made

Watched DBZ on Toonami when I was like 5 or something. Saw Naruto ads before it so i gave it a try. Glad I did, cause it was a pretty nice ride(except these last few chapters). I could deal without all OP power-ups though. Simple Taijutsu was enough.

This thread inspired me to start the anime/manga.

 

[awesomeseimei]

My cousin got me into it by showing me first twenty episodes of Shippuuden while we were on vacation.

i think it's the 3rd time when i say this on narutobase and also the 2nd time today.. )

well i was like 5-6 years old when i was watching naruto on cartoon network i think, i liked the battles, the story it was just awesome. Ofc i only watched like the first 80-100 ep's because after that they keep reapeting the same ep's don't know why and after that they've stopped streaming naruto in my country because of violence reasons *pff*.

2 years ago when i was like 15-16 year's old i saw something about naruto and i remembered that i used to watch this series and enjoy it so i said wtf let's watch it and i started watching it again with shippuden (cathing up) after that watched the first part and after that found out about the manga... and that's it.

same when it firs came on during toonami when in 2005 I think; I was so impressed with the show that I had to keep watching it but reading the manga didn't start until late 2006/ early 2007 xd

When I was younger (I can't remember) the first episode of Naruto premiered on Toonami and immediately I was hooked. Sure Naruto constantly spouting "Believe it!" was annoying, but staying up til like 9 on the weekends to watch my favorite show was amazing when I was a kid, especially when it got to the good episodes/fights like Naruto v. Sasuke at the Final Valley, Team Kakashi vs. Zabuza and Haku, The Chuunin Exams! agh god it was awesome

 

[Young Thug]

I copped Storm 2 when it first came out because there wasn't anything in Gamestop that interested me

went home, played it, realized I had no idea what the hell I was playing, then I stopped playing and caught up from Naruto all the way to what the current episode of Shippuden was, then I started reading the manga for part 2 and it's been heartbreak, disappointment, and excitement since then

 

[Stick]

Friend suggested it to me

 

[JackelLord]

"Naruto Ultimate Ninja storm" got me interested in this series a few years ago.

 

[Raijingan]

First time I watched Naruto I saw the fight between Naruto and Sasuke on tv. I thought it was really cool but I was already watching bleach and at that time I was like "I like this show, **** the rest". Also I was watching english dub and I hated Naruto's voice and Naruto was such a brat.

Then some time after I saw an AMV of Naruto when Naruto and Sasuke "fought" after the danzo fight. I thought it looked badass that they were older and that they fought like equals.

Then, some time after, a friend of mine started talking about how awesome Naruto was and I started to watch. I blitzed through the series, loved it, then I caught up, and then the war started.

 

[Naruto X Hunter]

This brings back memories.The first time i ever saw Naruto was in the 1 year anniversary magazine of the english version of Shonen Jump.This was thr very first page i saw.

I was only interest in the Magazine cause it had DBZ and Yu Gi Oh in it,so i didn't pay attention to Naruto or care about it.Sometime later i decided to read the whole Magazine so i read the Naruto chapters it had but still didn't care for Naruto until i saw it on Tv when it first premiered and was instantly hooked.

I watched all part one on Tv as it premiered each week without ever even thinking about the manga,and when i finally read the manga it was on youtube lol.I remember always watching videos of each chapter around when Naruto vs Pain came out.
