Back in 2003, though I grew up watching them without subs so it was hard for me to understand Japanese, luckily I had my bro for that. He was the expert at reading manga that time haha, I still have some of his manga collection. Anyway, during that time, Naruto was slowly getting recognition in the pacific Asian region & suddenly it exploded, more and more of my people got into in 2005 - 2007. We all had Animax asia, so it would air on Friday 7.00 pm like that, but we had other good content like air gear & a bunch of others to fill the time. Then I went online in 2010, searching predictions on forums & so on, whilst supporting the animation industry for 13-14 years.

Honestly, this was the part when I started to like sauce, up until hebi. Then I lost interest in him during Taka. Though I must admit, him performing chidori at that moment was epic as fck.
