I remember first getting into Naruto, after a friend recommended it to me. I'm not going to deny I did enjoy the first, let's say half of the story, but then I just could not be bothered. I did enjoy Naruto's story overall, and how he finally got accepted by everyone, but considering that I watched the whole anime first, I did not see the point anymore. I tried getting back to it a few times, but it didn't work. Yes the anime has fillers, that are not included in the manga, and yes anime does drag out more than the manga, but I guess it just wasn't for me. Overall, I think it's ok but it's just not for me.
