Twelve years ago , a demon fox with nine tails appeared. In an effort to save the village from the raging nine tail fox, the Shinobis of the hidden leaf village fought against this almighty demon of destruction, many died in doing so. One Shinobi the 4th Hokage sacrificed his life and seals the nintail fox inside a newborn child. This child is Naruto, a lonesome boy without parents or loved ones who is hated, feared and blamed for the lives the demon inside of him destroyed. Naruto having been treated in this way he decides he want"s to become something that everyone will respect, he dreams of becoming a Hokage the highest rank of ninja. Along with his rival, Sasuke and Sakura they must train hard to become ninja"s and face there fears.
Naruto is a amazing anime it"s packed full of action, comedy has a very solid story line. As the story progresses you continue to meet new characters and villains, the next more interesting than the one before. The characters, are all so well developed and fun. With many characters with many different personalities, It can be possible to relate to one of them. The characters are so well developed that there actions and there memories (which are shown in flashbacks) can make you cry.
The art style is different from most anime (I like how during "flashback" scenes you can see the texture of the paper and the paint strokes) and the fight sequences are amazing.
The music is very enjoyable. My favourite piece of music from the series is "Sadness and Sorrow" and it is played during the flashback scenes, it captures the emotion of the characters beautifully. The soundtrack is a definite recommendation if you enjoy the series.
This DVD is a great buy for someone new to Naruto, it contains the first 13 episodes, the original Japanese uncut episodes and the uncut cartoon network English dub episodes. At long last Naruto comes to DVD in the uk.
