Naruto

Gaahh, why isn't there a thread on this yet?

This is one of my favorite animes, and it's still being produced, and probably will be for a while since the manga isn't done either.

The storyline is basically about ninjas living in hidden villages, and each major country has a hidden village. Rather than the countries using armies, they use their ninja to fight. The show focuses on a few main characters, but mostly Naruto. He's a rather unconventional ninja who happens to have a demon sealed within him. Other main characters include Sasuke, who is supposedly the last survivor of the Uchiwa (spelling seems to differ) clan of ninjas, and was the #1 rookie of their hidden village. Sakura is the obligatory annoying anime female of the group, and Kakashi is the trainer for the three kids.

The anime reminds me of Trigun in the way it has random humor thrown about, but never during really serious moments.


If I can devote an entire GIF section to it, they must have done something right!
