Summary: Believe it?
Comment: I have been converting the non-believers. This show has great character development and there needs to be more shows like it. I kinda wish I was a kid again so I could be more into it. I also originally watched it in Japanese, so I was surprised at the translations. They were pretty good. I don't remember him saying Believe it so much though.

Summary: Good anime
Comment: 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?

Summary: WHAT?!
Comment: I have watched many episodes of Naruto and I must say that this is not worth paying 45 bucks for! The storyline is weak and full of cliches and super boring! All the characters do is walk around, throw ninja stars, and crack some retarded jokes. If your into cliche joke busting ninjas then you will love this, might I suggest Bleach, xxxHOLiC, Ultra Maniac, or any Hayao Miyazaki films. Thank you for your time! :D

Summary: Really only a "must-get" if you're a die-hard Naruto fan
Comment: 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.
