I came across Naruto while watching Toonami one Saturday evening on CartoonNetwork, and initially, I thought it was pretty cool. I didn't get into it though, since it was just whatever to me then - but later on my friends suggested I get into it, so I did. For the most part, I only watched the series dubbed, [Terrible Mistake] and skipped every filler episode [Another Mistake]. After a while, I got fed up with the fact that the English series took so long to catch up with the Japanese adaptation, so I said to heck with it, and watched every single episode from Part I to Part II subbed, fillers, movies, OVAs - everything. And I have not regretted doing so - I've been able to learn alot, and despite the inconsistencies in the series, it will pretty much always remain at the top of my anime list.
