Naruto is a good, but highly over-rated anime. I'm rather surprised that some people haven't heard of it, it's getting to be disturbingly popular o.o;; Anyway, my view on naruto is that it's good, but I see it as being the next DBZ. The action really is pretty much DBZ with ninjas, but the story isn't so bad. I might as well do my favorite anime list as well. (note, this is my anime list, it excludes manga. Since most manga is different than the anime).
1. Full Metal Alchemist
2. Hikaru no Go
3. Hunter x Hunter (just started, so far so good)
4. Naruto
List is short, I mostly read manga.
