Naruto runs through a very long episode list, with the latest one is 198. The manga version is already in season 2 where Naruto grows up. The fighting scenes are quite cinematic and interesting to watch. Although there are sometimes where they talk alot instead of just bringing the fight to the opponent. =X

I just love this series! I htink it is so funny and what is even better is that the characters...they aren't just kids fighting each other etc. They actually have a cause and each one of the characters is not just there...they have a reason and a story behind them. The animators took a long time making it just so and the martial arts scenes are off the wall!

Naruto himself even in the first episodes has such a story to tell. I think one finds themsleves completely lost in his situation. It is a nice escape!

Still trying to get my hands on some of the episodes so I know what happened. Stopped when Sasuke had just went bad and Naruto lost the fight.

One word though....cartoon network totally botched the voice over! The english version is absolutely awful! Watch it in japanese with subtitles if you can!
