I have never been a big anime fan so I'm ignorant about the whole subject *slaps self in face for ignorance* but im curious is Naruto just really fun as a game or is both a great anime and game? And why? (if you so please)

I never really watched the anime, only on a few occasions, but I really enjoyed the demo. It's fun using the special attacks and items. I don't think I would get it day one, but maybe for Christmas or something.

If you like Naruto then the games are for you but if you're not intrested in it then don't worry about it. Most Naruto games are kind of childish and meant for fan service only.

The show is pretty good if you are in Anime stuff, it have action, humor, drama, but sometimes it get annoying but overall its a fun show to watch, and most of the games are kind of "one day game" i mean they are good with a lot of fan service, but nothing that keep you interested more than a couple of weeks, of course if you have people who also enjoy the show it will last more, i have Clash of Ninja 2 on the GC and Ultimate Ninja 3 on the PS2, and the PS2 version is way too better in my opinion.

I downloaded the demo today and it looks fun, just pure fun, just hoping that the cast is wide, more wide than Ultimate Ninja 3, if CONR2 on the Wii do not present a huge improvement, maybe i'll get the PS3 "version".

I loved the demo; it's pretty fun. The anime itself... not so much.

I started watching Naruto early last year and followed it for quit some time...watched it all the way to one hundred and something episodes and then finally lost interest...you can imagine my surprise when I found out it went to over two hundred episodes (without concluding the main plot of the story) and then it moved on to some thing called Shisuden or something like that where they all turn into teens and end are still doing the same thing...blahhhhhh Total bore fest.

If you want a summary of the anime..... it goes like this..

Naruto : I must save my friend it is my way of the Ninja

Sakura : (says in suprised tone or a sad tone) Naruto kun....Sasuke kun......

Everybody else: Naruto is a special boy and he will one day save the world.

Oh yeah and almost all the episodes are filled with flash backs of things that happened in previous episodes, and even worse, sometimes it has flashbacks of things that happened within the same episode.

The end..

I had the same expeirence with Bleach...although I found it much better than Naruto...

but anyways, as for Naruto games, I've heard they generally don't tend to do very well....but the people who mostly like the games are the very very very patient fans of the anime.

The anime is really annoying. It takes forever for anything to happen! They put in ENTIRE episodes of like the struggles of a really minor character or a villain that dies in the following episode. There is also the horrendous amount of filler episodes. There is about 50 episodes in a row of completely useless junk.

Naruto Shipuuden I thought was doing well but some fights take waaayy too long now.

I recommend to everyone who wants to watch Naruto to see from episode 1 to 99, then go to episode 107and watch until episode 135, then you can miss all the other episodes cause they are terrible, boring and annoying, you can just watch 220 to see the end of Naruto.

The series continue in Naruto Shippuden, but to be honest although it start good, it goes really, really, really slow.

Hope that you at least watch 107 to 135 cause for me is the best part of Naruto.

Hmm...the anime is okay-ish. Episodes 1-135 are pretty good (especially the last 30) but then it goes to fillers up to episode 220. Then shippuden comes with some good episodes again, then went to fillers -_-. The manga is actually much better

Look man it's real simple just play Ultamite Ninja's 1,2,and 3 and see if you like it. If you do then get Ultimate Ninja Storm when it comes out and if you don't then don't buy the game when it comes out.

Don't watch it. It displays a really bad representation of anime.

I've watched every episode of Naruto to date (including the most recent Shippuuden espisode.) I won't lie. It isn't an amazing series. It starts off kind of rough in the first handful of episodes, but it pickes up by the what? 5th or 6th. Then it is pretty great for a while. It is through the section of greatness where you either become a fan or you still don't care. If you don't care during the Chunin exam, then it really isn't worth continuing. Even most fans of the series can't stand the last half or so of the first series. (I maintain that the last arc is really great, though I don't have an exact episode start number for that). To me, at this point (what, 66 episodes into Shippuuden?), and ever since the Chunin exam, is the main draw to the series for me is the characters. And not the main characters as much as the side characters. Each character seems to have a history that is outlined at some point in the series. If you are into character-driven series, Naruto is pretty great. If you are mostly into plot, Naruto succeeds in the beginning... but really, REALLY drops off with the filler episodes.

I like Naruto, but you have a terrific point there, if you want to watch a high quality Anime, you cant get any better than Full Metal Alchemist, maybe the best Anime i ever watch.

don't watch the english version because it's mostly crap. watch the japanese one with subs, and skip all the fillers. the manga is way better than the anime. If you don't really like anime then you'll probably won't like naruto, that much.

I've watched every episode of naruto except for the latest ones, about 10 episodes. The story isn't that great, kinda boring. the bad guys are good though, you'll love hating them. You'll probably be annoyed by naruto and saskue( spelled it wrong)

It's not that good to me, but hey theres a reson it's popular in both the asian and american veiwers
