always hated it and the word "naruto" made me wince...and also looked down upon people whom liked it also... o_0
then one day i'm eating pretty bored, and my brother is on Cartoonnetwork.com, and the episodes are around the part where Naruto, Kiba, Neji, Chouji and Shikamaru are off leaving the Leaf Village to find Sasuke. And before I thought it was all about fighting and shalllow plots. But it was very deep when they spoke about friendship and love.
O_O then i started, from episode 1 dubbed, because i didn't know that time how much subbed was better.
