The manga is SO much better than the anime in my opinion. The dub is pretty bad in the anime, if only for the voice they picked for Sakura. Bleh.... and the way they say chakra... *shudders*
SASUKE IS HOT! *cheers*
Oh, and my fav couple is SasuSaku! Haha! No hating on Sakura, just her dub voice please!
Oh, and I know where you can get all the Naruto manga fo' free!!!! All you have to do is register at narutofan.com and you get free downloads of it!!! ^_^

Welp, I like the anime on Toonami. I don't really have a problem with any of the voices or anything. Of course as with all anime, I think it'd be nice if i had a chance to see the original version, but beggars like me can't be choosers. Even if it's not as good as it could be, I still think it's all good.

The manga is so much better. If you read the manga, you'd see where I'm coming from. ^~

I download it with Bittorrent. I like listening to the Japanese version. It's better than the English version. At the moment, I'm on eppy 64 and my fave characters are Shikamaru (hey, I like his attitude, kinda reminds me of me), I don't really like Sasuke anymore (too popular and kinda stuck-up), Kakashi (he's hilarious), Rock Lee (he's real optimistic despite his looks), Gaara (I feel sorry for him), Hinata (she's nice and not one of those happy-go-lucky talented people), Sakura is too girly, Ino is real cool, Tenten seems really cool too, Neji (yet another complex character), and... yeah... that must be it. I've listed some characters I don't like in there too. Oh yeah, and Naruto, he's good. He's hilarious XD! I don't usually pay attention to the main characters for some reason, but he just draws my attention.

I read Naruto manga on www.narutochuushin.com ; it's translated well, and I enjoy it much better than the anime. However, I do like the Japanese better than the American -- I've downloaded a few episodes and the movie from Limewire. I am completely head-over-heals for Gaara-kun. Simple as that. Other than that, I am an Iruka fan (he's so cute with the scar over his nose =3 )... and well, I love most of the characters because they are so developed. Man, are they ever when you get farther into it. It's a very character driven manga (the anime has to many fight scenes, like someone before me mentioned) and it's ranked on my Top Ten list. However, I tend to stay away from the fan base other than getting my translated manga and anime. Sure, I get a few good pieces fan art here and surf for a couple of pieces of information there, but the fan base is scary *shudders* It's the same way with the Inuyasha. Trust me. *cough* No, I'm not obsessed. My best friend's not obsessed. You know those little boxes that hold figurines at Hot Topic? The Naruto ones? Well, my best friend and I have always poked at them, saying how we'd like one but they never showed which one we were getting. It was a surprise. Well, my best friend was shopping for Christmas at Hot Topic, and spied one, box crushed and lonely. She thought, "What they hey, it might be Gaara and I'll give it to Bri." So she bought it, opened it, and lo and behold.... ...it was Gaara-kun. So she taped it back together, wrapped it, and gave it to me this morning for Christmas. I was very pleased. I now have a mini-Gaara-kun to go with my Gaara-kun plushie. She was excited about it, and still is (as am I). Funny, isn't it?

lol there's going to be a naruto marathon on toonami, on new year's eve. starts at 2:30, ends at 11:00pm. Haku is weird. on absoluteanime.com, his character profile had this thing at the bottom, where it gives the arguments for whether he's a boy or a girl. here's the link: www.absoluteanime.com/naruto/haku.htm

Ok, I have to say I have never watched the show, but my brother gets subscriptions to Shonen Jump magazine, and I have been reading all of the Naruto ones because Sasuke caught my eye! LMAO! Here, I have had life-long crushes on cartoons my whole life, let me show you... Age: Crush: 6 Gumby (^-^) 8 Ash 12 Sokka I have ALWAYS fallen in love with make-believe people, even in movies! But, Sasuke is way hott... and because of my likeness to the Manga series, I'm gonna start watching it on CN. It looks like a really fun show, that i'd be interested in! Chibi & Goten will be my Sasuke Buds... lOl Actually Goten is the one who got me into it in the first place. I saw how the words under her icon said "Though Sasuke is my fave" haha. And I knew I had seen that name somewhere. Don't get me wrong, Avatar is still top of my list until i've seen Naruto though... Also, this is a REALLy nice site for pictures of all the characters... www.animegalleries.net/category/62

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? With no offense to Christians, it feels like they're treating it like the second coming of Christ. -_-; I've seen better. AND THE MAIN PARTY DOESN'T EVEN DRESS LIKE FREAKIN' NINJAS!! I'm just a casual fan because it is DRIPPING with DBZ... (the way it was just "blah blah blah" kick punch continue this for the next 50 episodes) Something tells me I wont' even bother finishing the thing... I can stomach the manga because I can flip fast. I also have a little problem with how there seems to be no history. We have 2000 years recorded in history and they don't?! I find that hard to believe. And... if you get them for free, Masashi Kishimoto is losing money. Although all the liscensing garbage is keeping him rich... hey, wait a minute...yeah, go ahead, if he can just go and rely on merchandising his characters to make a living... (yeah, you can tell I don't buy t-shirts with characters on it. You may as well put someone's phone number and address on it, why don't ya? >_<)
