What got you into Naruto (or even brought you back into the series)

[Ryuma720]

With only 5 chapters left. What got you into Naruto (or even brought you back into the series)

Here's my life story on Naruto:

I was in 5th grade I got into the CartoonNetwork version of Naruto (not uncut) and it begun
I didn't get to see the 1st Naruto movie in theaters cause it was sold out (that was also the day when it was sold out my Mom got me Pokemon Diamond since I didn't see it)

Off topic: Later on in middle school experience more animes mostly ecchi (don't judge me I was in middle school)
When Naruto Shippuden came on the air I was hyped (but I only watched 2 seasons)
After Toonami went off the air I kinda stop watching Naruto, but oddly Bleach aired on AdultSwim so I got into that in High School

Dark Ages (but I still watched Bleach)(May 2009-May 2012)

Then on May 26, 2012 Toonami came back and Anime was back in my life
Then sometime around my Senior Year in High School Naruto came back on Toonami
And the Naruto memories came back and I was hyped again
I told my friends I watched Naruto and they asked me if I read the manga so I asked "where's my favorite ninja Naruto at now did he bring back Sasuke yet?" They said their in a middle of a war and I said whattttt ?!?
So around Fall 2012 I read the manga again and watched the series again
I also reread chapters 1-600 chapters during Christmas vacation to Disney World (my parents driving 9 hrs)
Note: don't read manga chapters with a bright iPad screen for 9 hrs reading it gave me a headace
And after reading all the chapters I enjoyed the hype known as Naruto

And from this day my Otaku self begun
I started reading and watching great series like One Piece, Bleach, High School Of The Dead, Kuroko No Basket, Kill La Kill, Nisekoi, Triage X, Attack On Titan, Future Diary, Akame Ga Kill, Fairy Tail, Soul Eater, Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Langann, Hellsing Ultimate, Sword Art Online (One not two), Blue Exorcist, FLCL, Black Lagoon, Magi, Seitokai Yakuindomo, Summer Wars, Akira, FMA, Maken Ki, No Game No Life, My Mental Choices Are, I couldn't become a hero so I got a job, Mangaka, and etc.

Ever since I read more manga I enjoyed reading more. Cause in High School I hated reading kinda ironic since I failed my reading exit exam three times.

So I thank God, Kishimoto's story, and my friends bringing me back into the Anime/Manga game
But Naruto will always be on the Top of my list of favorite anime (along with One Piece)


What's your story on how u got into Naruto or gotten back into the story or both ?

 

[Vapid]

I saw a cool gray-haired guy with a book and was sold.

 

[Inert Brian]

Toonami on Cartoon Network in 2006.


#fansinceelementaryschool.

 

[Filo]

I have watched since 2005 when it came out on CN never left

 

[TheAncientJinchuuriki]

I saw it on toonami when I was younger, and automatically got hooked. Always stayed up to watch the new episodes

 

[iNotorious]

On cartoon back in 00's. Good old days.

I remember when i started performing jutsus on the pool; i tried to walk and well i failed :T_T:

I'm going to miss it.

 

[Seventh Sama]

I saw it on cartoon network
I can't remember much but i liked the show alot.
Then for some reason it went off air.So Sometime later on i subscribed to shonen jump and read the naruto manga for a while (I started reading it where team 7 fought the itachi clone)
My shonen expired but i didnt have the cash to reinstate my sub so yeah.
Fast forward a couple of years later and im channel suffering to only find that naruto shippude was on disney xd. The dub was on the rescue kazekage arc, I saw deidara and gaara fight and fell in love with it again.

Since then, i've been watching the anime but on crunchy roll now.

 

[Punk Hazard]

saw the Pein vs Jiraiya and Itachi vs Sasuke fights back in about 2010, kept watching since. Threads on here, reading the wiki and watching some episodes caught me up and gave me a general understanding of the story. This was back when 80% of threads weren't drivel. I did eventually rewatch and reread old arcs.

 

[FoxesInWonderland]

The first time I saw naruto on CN I was in 6th grade but I stopped watching it. Probably like 3 or 4 years ago I saw shippuden on youtube and got hype cuz naruto was older. The last year I officially got back into it ;D

 

[ShiroT]

i was young (in whatever grade) and i though japanese stuff were the coolest things ever. naruto were ninja's so i had to watch it. i keep watching it because i like it. im not disappointed like other people

 

[4bdN]

the end of DBZ, then i watched the chunin exams and i was hooked

the fight that got me was The 3rd and Enma VS Orchimaru

 

[DeadManWonderLand]

I remember the very first time i was read naruto
It was in shonen jump,maybe i have an earlier memory but as of now the earliest one i can recall is of naruto just waking up in the forest of death after sasuke used his curse mark to fend of the sound nin in the forest of death.

I watched Naruto but,never made it goal to keep up with it.
well,that all changed after my friend called me over to show me the killer bee vs sasuke fight he was aware i did not like sasuke and showed glory lol

I still didn't start reading it religiously until the final chapters of the naruto vs nagato fight

 

[sacmador]

Searching for something to watch in English to learn English faster in preparotory, I found myself in watching dubbed version of Naruto and then the orginal japanese and Eng subbed and then the manga and now it's been two years since started to follow it weekly.

 

[rollin]

i watched the anime when i was in the 6th-8th grade then stopped because i got busy with life and assume you dont watch anime when you growup but then my senior year i wanted to know what was going on with it and started to read the manga
the last chapter of the manga at that time was 510 and i started it weekly from there

i like the powerups,plot,characters,and the rich history that was thought up of to be put in naruto
its one of the few mangas where you can think up of theories

 

[SumnNarutoRelated]

When it first came to Netflix I went to see what all the hype was about. This was maybe 2 years ago and now I know more about the show than any of you

 

[Henchman24]

My sister showed me the fight between Lee and Gaara. After that I was super into the anime. I started reading the manga because it was so much farther ahead.
