Naruto is one of those anime's where...The story is ok. You got your boy hated by everyone trying to 'BECOME HOKAGE!' while constantly trying to be murdered by other people. Now, im going to talk about the Characters. The characters are probably the best part of the show. although, Naruto can be bland, Sasuke is annoying, and Sakura is hated for no reason, its not the main 3 i like- its the side characters.

I found myself wanting to know the Backstory of Shino, Tenten, And more. But they were pushed under the carpet. And what REALLY made me mad was that it wouldn't even explain some of the VILLAINS backstory. Take Hidan for example. he killed without holding back, he's a psychopath. I wanted to know what his backstory was, but nope. (SPOILER'S: he died 4 episode's after he was introduced, and then a filler came.)

I feel like all the interesting fights, Like the Kakuzu and Hidan vs Shikamaru Choji and Ino fight, were cut short to get back to Naruto and Sasuke yelling at each over for 20 minutes.

Overall, its a good anime but i recomend the manga
