Ever since I was little I did watch some part of the episode's in Naruto but I never really got into it growing up. I remember it being so big and lots of my classmate's would grow picture's of Rock Lee for example was a character I remember seeing as a favorite. I knew about a lot of the main cast since I would see them but again I didn't really know much about them so when I watched it came to a surprise, I wasn't expecting. Anyway when I really got into anime Naruto wasn't one of the first I started really watching, it was Bleach but later I really wanted to actually get into all the big series I keep hearing about. More in the future since Naruto was so mainstream I was telling myself I didn't really want to get into because people would talk about too much and usually when I hear about anime's a lot. For example Attack on Titan is one of them when I first watched and use to love to death. Re-watching it so many times so am the girl that isn't a fan of people talking about something too much and loses interest. I did ended up watching it and told myself "fine let's see what's the big fuss about this anime". Honestly I don't regret ending up watching this series, I honestly feel like I misjudged this series for it's big popularity, well it's big for a reason right? Despite it many too many bad character *cough* *cough* Sakura, I honestly didn't respect Sakura as a character. Reason why she too desperate for Sasuke which it's embrassassment to women... Am honestly not the type to like any character who has no self respect at all. After everything you can tell Sasuke doesn't deserve Sakura or Naruto as a friend for walking out on them for his selfish needs but that's just me and another thing Sakura doesn't deserve Naruto as a husband. One of the reason's why I was okay with Hinata marrying Naruto because she treated Naruto better than Sakura ever did. I can complain more about how Sakura and Sasuke shouldn't have married but than this wouldn't be an article on how Naruto is one of my most favorite anime's. What I like about Naruto is that no matter what has happened in the past to Naruto, he still decided to never have revenge on his village even though he was treated so poorly. Naruto was truely a very strong character, mentally. For a lot people it takes them lots of forgiveness to look from the past and decided to protect a village who has harm them most their life. Treating him like a monster than later becoming the hero of the village. Along the way he convienved many to change their minds about revenge and the wrong path they were taking, like Gaara for example. He was treated as a monster like Naruto as well and even though he was a lot different than Naruto. Taking the wrong path by killing people non-stop, he too later was respected and seen as a hero like Naruto. I know the anime has many episode's that go into the past of many character's to explain things I still really much like this anime. Seeing the character going through trails and watching them grow as people is one reason I love this anime. I also see it as how many generations have passed and how much the future has changed, like in Boruto to me looks almost like today's society in a way. That it's not as traditional and more modern. You just get too see so many times that have changed and how lots of village's put their difference's aside and work together better than they use too.
