I don't know. I was never overly fond of Naruto when I watched the anime in Japanese. Thing is the fandom is so huge, and there is so much you can get out of the fandom from other fans that it makes forcing yourself to sit down and watch the anime worth it.
At least that's how it was with me. Plus the characters are entertaining enough. I've never read the manga so I don't know how to compare, but I've heard people say it's better, and I've heard people say it's worse. What are the actually differences, aside from there being no voices in the manga?
So far someone's said in the manga that Sasuke is not as wimpy, are there any major differences in the character personalities, or the overall plot of the series? Some re-arrangement in some of the episodes? (I know that happened in Koko wa Greenwood.)
I'm just wondering if I should bother with reading the manga or not, 'cause if the manga really is better then the anime than maybe I won't have to force myself to read it, like I had to force myself to watch the anime.
Pst, is anyone else out there an Iruka fan?

I was in a dollar store today and they had this ad on their radio that ends with "Dollar Tree... everything's a dollar. Believe it!" And it just totally made me think of Naruto.

Naruto is funny, and the art beautiful, but at times the fighting gets... stale. The same *"I'm better than you!" "I hate you!" (insert cool jutsu)* But the way Kishimoto made an entirely new ninja culture is cool. And he did a good job with the main characters. Well, except for Sasuke--he reminds me of Anakin in that he went to the Dark Side for basically no reason. XD;
The dub? Dubs are horse manure... they never get the voices right and they cut out too much. I read/watch the manga/anime in Japanese, or fansubs of it.
PS: My favorite character is Jiraiya, who hasn't been introduced yet. He's the stock hilarious lecher. XD

Sasuke and Kakashi are my faves. My friend was doing this story, and wanted to name a character Kakashi, be was afraid it meant something perverted. You know, cause he's always reading Icha Icha Paradise. But I think I've found out what it means, and it's "scarecrow"

I thought it was funny last night that Naruto thought Haku was a girl... but then I think, with bishonen in general, they're ultimately just drawings, so the artists can say, "okay, let's draw a girl's face and call it a boy. we can even get a female seiyuu to do the voice."

"Kakashi" means "scarecrow"? Weird. Yeah, all the names mean things, or have significance in some way. XD; SASUKE IS FREAKING EMO. Naruto-kun is better, evn though he is annoying at times, DATTE BA YO! Pretty good list here: narutofever.com/information/name-guide.phpExcept... "akatsuki" isn't "dawn", it's freaking "red moon". Did an incompetent fangirl steal the keyboard?

Pst, is anyone else out there an Iruka fan? Yay, Iruka fans of the world, UNITE! XD He's soooo cute. Fell in love with him after the first episode of the anime (no spoilers, but he's just the biggest sweetheart!) I think his name means 'dolphin'....I think.

ummmm...all righty then... Gaara is so cool! but he's also kinda creepy. He hasn't been introduced in the American version of the anime yet, but I've read ahead to volume 7 of the manga.
