I am not a manga/anime specialist, but Naruto is certainly the best series I've known so far. It has the emotional intensity of romance, while combing actions and moral code of friendship and essential relationship issues. Lots of characters have deep and unique personalities, and make me want to compare Masashi Kishimoto to Shakespeare for his understanding of human psychology.
The world of Naruto itslef is an imaginary one amalgamating a lost ideal traditional Japanese world of ninja (and samurai), with strict moral codes and feudal wars, with elements of modernity such as television and cup ramens. There are no cars or concrete roads, no sign of Westernization or contact to the outside world, eventhough the technology and school system are unmistakably contemporary. Houses and ninja techniques are purely imaginary, which adds charm to the atmosphere.
Definitely worth a watching/reading.

Naruto is my favorite anime series. First the plot is great, the stories of the different charaters are all very touching. The graphics are GREAT, it's smooth and well done. the music is very well qued, and makes scenes such as the action or sad and sorrow so much more realistic and it gets you into the story. well done.

The Naruto series is awesome! I have been reading the fan-translated manga as they are released in Japan and put on a website, http://www.narutofan.com. They are totally worth buying, if you have the money as they are made available. I would suggest the site to anyone who wants to check the series out without any longterm commitment (though I believe most will find something about it that they like).

Naruto is defiantely one of the best i've seen and read. even though Naruto started out dumb, it ended quite well. With many different types of characters, Naruto is definately a thumbs up.

Naruto is great! I have always been interested in Japan's feudal era but somethings about Naruto aren't that great. Like Orochimaru's henchmen (the sound ninjas) they weren't that cool. I believe that Zabuza was one of Naruto's greatest villains.

Think about a woman. Doesn't know you're thinking about her. Doesn't care you're thinking about her. Makes you think about her even more.

engaging themes,interesting characters and captivating story
|
|
Cons:

The themes of loneliness and needing friends come up quite a bit in this ninja epic
|

It has good characterization the plot has you from start til end and it shows fantastic story segments and focuses on each character tentatively. It will have you feeling like you,yourself have felt like one of these characters at one time before.

It's funny,touching, and has lots of action

The fights take forever and the story line is always turned in Naruto's favour (most of the time)

As an anime specialist I can tell you that just like FullMetal Alchemist this is a very good anime. I have researched this anime and have found very few plot holes in this anime.

I borrowed this from a friend of mine and I honestly have to say it is one of the most amazing things I have seen. All the characters are amazing and have their own unique personalities. Like true anime should, you can fall in love with cartoons, such as the characters of Uchiha Sasuke (student) and Hatake Kakashi (Sensei). Watching it in Japanese (with the English Subtitles if needed) is much preferable to watching it in English, because if you hear the words, "Believe it," come from Naruto's mouth one more time, you'll want to put a shuriken through your TV. Seriously though, this series is amazing, and the music is awesome. You'll love it.
