My experience with the Anime "NARUTO"

Today I want to start posting about another of my favorite hobbies besides video games, which is watching anime. This time I bring you my favorite anime which is called Naruto. This anime was directed by Hayato Date and produced by Pierrot Studios, together with TV Tokyo. This is an excellent anime that I can tell you that it is among my top 3 favorite anime next to Dragon Ball and any other that can be in this top of the many that I have seen. If I'm honest I'm not much of a reader of magas, I'm more of the anime adapted to TV and therefore do not read the books for not knowing what will happen, however in the networks and on the Internet we can find many things that sometimes not impossible to know some details ahead of time. The only thing I can tell you is that this anime had a very good reception all over the world and as always it can receive some criticism as it usually happens and about them I am going to talk a little bit about my experience and what I consider to be good and what not to share it with you. It is important to mention that this is my first publication in this community and I hope to improve my content little by little.

HISTORY

The first thing I should tell you is about the story of this anime that I will try to summarize as short as possible and tell you about the details that I consider most important from my point of view. This anime tells the story of a ninja village that was attacked in the past by a demonic fox, where many people died because of it, but thanks to the fourth Hokage the village was saved beyond the loss of life and materials. What is Hokage? is the leader of the village of the Leaf of the country of fire. This fox was sealed inside a boy named Naruto who happens to be the protagonist of our story. This protagonist grew up and joined the academy to try to become a ninja, which was very difficult for him because he did not have a great talent for it, besides he did a lot of pranks to be noticed. This boy named Naruto always mentions that his dream is to be Hokage and annointed by the village, since due to the incident that happened in the village of which I already spoke to you, because said people tend to be afraid of him due to the fox that he possesses in his interior and they tend to ignore him.

During his stay at the academy, this boy meets several characters who form a great importance in this story. Among these characters we have Sasuke Uchiha who is the antagonist of the story but at the same time is the companion and friend in the background of Naruto, as both are interested in each other, although they do not show it at the beginning. This character is from the Uchiha clan who were killed by his older brother, so he wants to become strong to take revenge on him for what he did to his clan. Another of the characters is called Sakura Haruno who is the other companion of Naruto who along with Sasuke become companions of Naruto to form what is known as team 7 after they graduated from the academy. Team 7 was led by Kakashi Hatake, who together with the other members including our protagonist Naruto, begins a great adventure in the Ninja world.

The characters Naruto and Sasuke from the beginning have had a great rivalry, however as they live the adventure this is changing a little, which later returns to be a great rivalry in the course of the story, because Sakuke is not interested in having friends but wants to become luckier to take revenge on his clan and kill his older brother. For this Sasuke and in the Chunin Exams meet a character and important villain of this story called Orochimaru who is obsessed by the only survivor of the Uchiha that is in the village and wants to take over his body, while later Sasuke decides to join this character to become stronger and fulfill his goal. That is why Naruto undertakes the adventure to rescue Sasuke and that is where most of the story takes place, beyond the missions performed by each of the teams of the Leaf village and other events that happen in this story.

Another important character I want to mention is Jiraiya who is an important character since he is Naruto's teacher who teaches him many techniques and they go on a great adventure with him. This character is one of the three legendary sennin, along with Orochimaru and Tsunade, who happens to be the fifth Hokage who replaces the third one who died in the celebration of the chunin exams. Among other important characters that I should mention we have Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru, Hinata Hyūga, Kurenai Yūhi, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Chōji Akimichi, Rock Lee Tenten, Neji Hyūga, Guy the Mighty, Iruka who was the first teacher and recognized Naruto and even loves him as a brother, Among many other characters that we can find in this great story.

In general I can tell you that the story that this anime tells us is quite complete, entertaining and fun, however it usually has a lot of filler that in many cases gives us information of important events in the story and others not so much. These fillers are many of the important criticisms that this anime has, however I think that from my point of view does not take away how interesting it was to watch this anime and that I still watch it when I'm a little bored. This story is quite long and it was adapted from the manga, however I didn't want to tell you much but the most important and well maybe I missed some things, that's why I recommend you to watch this anime so you can tell me your experiences about it. Among other aspects such as the animation I think it is good and more than this anime was released in 1999, although it is not perfect, it seems to me that it is correct and that it is well worked.

The soundtrack is another of the things I liked about this anime, with quite entertaining and varied musical themes, with very emotional and action themes, depending on the moment that is happening in the anime, sometimes they tend to be so emotional that it is even one of the only anime that have made me cry, both for the story, the sound of the voices, the animations and many details that usually stand out in this kind of anime.

In conclusion, Naruto is a good anime, I would say great, very entertaining and fun, that catches us where we want to see and see more chapters. It has a great story that is very long but with many fillers as I had mentioned. You have many main and secondary characters that play an important role throughout the story. I give this anime a 9.5 because it is not perfect but it is one of the best I have seen. In another opportunity I hope to talk about Naruto Shippuden which is the continuation of this great story that we can't miss.
