A very unoverhyped manga and anime that has legions of followers in the states because of it's indetifiable, distinctive, yet simple characters. Top notch animation, great battle choreography, and an innovative rehashing of fantasy martial arts.

A Japanese Synonym for Hitler

A random anime that was chosen by Cartoon Network to become the new "in" anime for all the otaku posers who watch Cartoon Network. It is considered a success because its fanbase is a collection of 14 year olds who have never seen quality anime.

It is very popular as of 2006, but will rapidly die down as soon as Cartoon Network chooses to air another randomly chosen anime.

Naruto is a Japanese anime/manga series by Masashi Kishimoto, about the struggle of a boy to become the best ninja. It is also a series that exemplifies why much of this genre is for kids:

a. Kids running amok without parental supervision are responsible for restoring world peace

b. An average kid can become the best by luck (which crosses with c and d)

c. An average kid can suddenly wake up to the value of hard work and surpass everyone who has worked harder for many years

d. Consistent grudge against/negative portryal of prodigies

e. Good guys survive all adversity because they are defined as good guys

f. Violence is noble in the name of righteousness (which crosses with g and h)

g. Physical strength is the panacea for all evils of the world

h. A powerful secret organization/entity/community is responsible for all the evils of the world

Even though it tries hard to pass itself as sophisticated by adding gratuitous violence, foul language, and other objectionable themes, the series, by the aforementioned limitations and many more, is still best classified as kids entertainment.

A very "troublesome" anime series that never ends and that has cheesy fillers.
The author doesn't seem to be able to advance the manga either and he seems to use a lot of men that looks like women and emos that hangs themselves.

In other word:
A very loooooooooooong, unecessary to watch fillers, anime...

An anime/mamga about a bunch of wannabe little brats playing ninja. Filled with mary sues, kids who never quit dreaming dreams, insane emo kids out for vengenace, and stupid obsessive fan-girly characters. Full of fillers, stupid plots, and a series that drags on pretty much forever.

2.

A word used to describe people who fail in life.

It's got ninjas, which is pretty cool, I guess. It's written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. He must be rich now. It's got an anime adaptation, which probably gives him more money.

Naruto was a rapidly growing anime that is available in both manga and anime form. It went downhill after everyone realized what dumbfucks they were. It stars a 'hyperactive' son of a bitch blonde boy named Naruto Uzumaki. He is convinced that his values and ideals will far surpass everyone around him, including his friends, and that one day he will rule the ninja world with an iron fist. The show consists of many, many fillers, an example being sketcy, depressing flashbacks. They don't want to waste their precious time animating action, so they decided to use flashbacks that include 'awkwards silences between characters' or 'talking obsessively about another person.' More reasons this show continues to fail at basically everything is the characters. The creaters believed that they were creating simple yet ideal and interesting ninja's, but in reality, they have either no personality, and if they do, it does not befit a ninja in anyway. And also, a very sad fact has been noted that no girls exist in the anime. Fans searched very hard to find one perhaps even in the background of scenes, but not a hint of estrogen could be gathered from Naruto.
