It finally happened, I started watching Naruto... And I don't even know if I'm going to survive this whole. But well I do must say that this first episode was pretty decent, the pacing was okay, it did felt a bit all over the place but in general it was decent.

All in all I do wonder what this anime has to offer but on the other side it's still a Shounen Jump anime so I don't expect all too much.

So decided to give this show a chance, people talked about it a lot and I see cosplayers everywhere so I figured why not.

I dont know what to think about it yet though. I felt like the first episode was kind of rushed and I had the feeling I had missed something. Maybe I didnt watch it in the right order or I accidentally clicked the wrong episode.

It was an OKAY episode, little bit rushed. Not my favourite intro episode, but can't kill an anime after the first episode, we'll see if I'll still be watching this after another 5 episodes or so.

A very strong start. I literally cackled when Naruto transformed into a naked girl. That was sos damn funny, especially sensei's reaction. XD

Welp had to start since several of my friends think this is one of the best anime ever made. None of the ones who have actually seen a lot of good anime of course, but not complete noobs either. Supposedly once I'm about 40-50 episodes in, I'll be "hooked". We shall see...

That being said, first episode wasn't too bad. Long running shounen tend to start extremely slow, so this is at least a better start than that.

Here I go, starting this journey of watching Naruto too. I've seen random episodes here and there but I think it's about time that I watch it fully through (If I don't drop it).

I'm going to get hate but, this episode was kinda lacking a bit, I love Naruto but I can't help but skip the first 19 episodes every time I wanna re-watch.

AHH!Here I go.My first time watching Naruto.I love most of its openings *cough* SILHOUETTE *cough* and I know the essencial plot,but like 7%.Just by watching its openings I feel so depressed because I remember watching it as a child,but not remembering much.I know I'll regret watching is after I finished Shippuden,because nothing will give me the same experience.but with all this said,I'll start my journey.

This animation had some weird moments.Overall,the pacing was kind of fast.But it was the first episode,year 2002,so should definitely be overlooked.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

I decided to re-watch Naruto, as a kid I think it was entertaining but I wasn't absolutely in love with it. Time to revive my memory

More interesting than I expected. Got more intense than I expected for a fast episode and was a little fast-paced.

On another note, I shouldn’t be starting any longer animes because i still have to finish Bleach, and I'm watching Bleach with filler and as much as I’ve heard terrible things about the Naruto filler, I don't want to skip it either...

Basically, because of the whole Bleach situation, I’m considering this an "informal" watch - basically meaning that I’m allowing myself to drop this series at any time if I don’t want to continue, because I generally try to keep a "No dropping series" rule.

Let’s see where this goes!!

"Once upon a time a beast fox appeared and attacked the village. A ninja fought that beast but died during the process of sealing..."-Here i start rewatching Naruto.

But the thing about Naruto pisses me off is the cringe voice of Naruto, bad sound quality and bad animation.... The animation gets better afterwards though still the soundtracks are kinda weird

I'm rewatching this entire fucking series.

As my childhood anime, it has a special place in my heart. But as times past by, I grow colder to this series' charms since well to be blunt, it's simply ridiculous, the plot, powers and everything.

But other than that, kid me only likes the action bit, the 'talking' bit was nonsense. Only barely able to keep up with the story, so yeah, now that a whole decade and some years have passed it's rewatching time!

So this is Naruto, I’ve been so curious to see this show for a long time and the fact that it is highly rated is not bad. The ending was quite awesome seeing Naruto use shadow replication and defeating Misuki and earning his badge.

Naruto, quite the nostalgic series. I only watched the series in bits and pieces, more so in OG Naruto than Shippuden. Now it's time to watch it all the way through.

This first episode was okay, animation was rough but it's going to obviously get better.

Re-Watching Naruto, but now with a little bit more critical eyes. It's not a bad episode, it features a lot even if basic, and it's important to create a base even if weak at the beginning of an anime, just imo obviously. As with all episodes of Naruto ( I think ) there are ups and downs in the art and animation, but I don't think that's a problem now.

Tbh I'm glad that I started watching the series during the Chunin Exam arc, because there's like no way I would've liked the series if this episode had been my first exposure to it. I just felt like this was the weakest start of any shonen series I've ever seen, so this will always go down as one of my least favorite episodes of the series.

Great introduction. It's 20 years old, but it feels like the storytelling I like. The main character being an outcast makes him likeable even though he's weird.
