Friday's fun, even if Mt. St. Helens is erupting. So, on Friday's I'll start putting up a Manga/Anime basic sampler. This week, Naruto! I've talked about Naruto before. It's easily Reeta's favorite anime series. Naruto carries sealed within himself a nine-tailed demon fox, called the "Kyuubi". His dream is to become the leader of his village, the "Hokage", and make everyone in the village acknowledge him. Brash, irreverant, and boastful, but with a big heart, and a willingnesss to sacrifice anything for his friends.
Naruto never takes back his word, that's his "way of the ninja". Get the manga here or at amazon, or a good bricks and mortar bookstore. The anime series can be downloaded over the internet, subtitled in English here. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the links to the first 80 episodes (the series is up to about 103 right now), you'll need BitTorrent to download.
UPDATE: For the unwashed heathens among you, "Manga" is the Japanese equivalent of a comic book, or graphic novel. "Anime" is the animation - usually a T.V. series.

My brother gave up on Naruto because of the manga, so he stopped watching the anime too. I told him not to be such a dork. ::laughs:: I think he's too busy going ga-ga over FMA, which I don't blame him, though I have threatened him not to tell me anything as I'm still on ep. 32.
Which reminds me I still need to download episode 103. ;-)

So, he's going gaga over Full Metal Alchemist (which I mentioned in my letter to Cartoon Network last night), but not over Naruto? I wonder how far he got on the manga? If he's reading the Shonen Jump/graphic novels stuff, they just barely got to the second stage of the Chuunin exam. No mention of Orochimaru yet. They barely met Kabuto, IIRC.
