Good anime

First of all, let me first establish the fact that this anime is based on a shounen manga...which translates to:

THIS IS A KID'S ANIME.

That's right. Shounen anime/manga is a means of entertainment that targets young boys ranging from elementary school age to 18 years of age. Yes, that's on the same level as Pokémon if that's what you're thinking. Anyway, having said that, if you are expecting a "Ghost in the Shell/Ninja Srcoll/Basalisk"-esque plot then prepare to be disappointed. Again, it's a kid's anime-- chalk full of over-the-top antics, slightly perverted humor, and lots of blatant ninja clichés.

I don't mind any of that stuff. I love this anime and tons of others (and this is coming from a young woman who put's Darwin's 'Origin of Species' pretty high up there on her good reads list). Simple things can be quite enjoyable if given a chance. I think that Naruto should be given a chance. If you'd rather test it out before purchasing however, simply reserve 30-minutes of your time to Cartoon Network and check out an episode. Easy, yes?

Engrossing anime

This is beyond anime to my family. We have become involved in the lives of each character. Our ages range from 16 to 41 and we all enjoy Naruto .

YOU HAVE MY MONEY THAT IS ALL YOU NEED

IT IS GREAT IF THERE WAS ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO NO IS HOW MANY EPISODES ARE IN A VOLUME

Really only a "must-get" if you're a die-hard Naruto fan

This is a three-disc set that contains the first thirteen episodes of Naruto and a few extras. This set includes both the Japanese and English language tracks (and English subtitles for the Japanese language track).

The extras aren't overly impressive. There's eight pages of "Production Art" (model sketches of some of the Naruto characters). There's a feature labeled as, "From Sketch to Screen Episode 1"; this includes eight pages of storyboards, and for each storyboard, you can see the clip that the storyboard is for. The English credits are included as an extra, but there's no background music, so this is a rather uninteresting thing to view.

There is a sneak preview of the second Naruto box set, but this preview feels more like an extended preview for the first episode of disc two. There's also plenty of advertising included as extras: trailers for One Piece and Hikaru no go, advertisements for various Shonen Jump mangas, as well as an ad for Shonen Jump Magazine.

I was definitely disappointed in the special features. After watching this set, I was left with the impression that Viz was trying to produce the set as cheaply as possible. It's almost as if the thinking was that the Naruto property is so popular that the fans will buy the set, no matter how many or how few extras are included on it.

If you're a Naruto fan and want to collect the episodes on DVD, then this set would be a good addition to your collection.
