CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Well I have read the manga, I really like it. I have not seen the anime yet, but I look foward to it.

Naruto is class!! it is possible one of the best anime's ever in many peoples opinions. they are now up to episode 58 me thinks.
i have watched up to 30 as i watch it off my friends cd-r's. it is such classness. soo funny and the fighting scences are absolutly amazing! the first ten eps are good but trust me they are class. i would also like to point ourt that you posted on my b-day! lol kool

I have seen about 5 episodes. I loved it very much, my favourite episode has to be the one where they were interviewed..soo funny. =]

I have been following the manga in Shonen Jump since May. Love it.

That manga is one of my favorites in the world.!!! Yay!!!

Naruto is great! I havent seen the anime, but i've read the first manga and i want to read the others... Kakashi is cool. Does anyone know the store Simply Kids? They have a lot of Naruto dolls and figurines for cheap!

...guys, this is about the fifth thread discussing Naruto. This is getting ridiculous. Next Naruto thread that appears gets locked, but I'll let this one go.

Naruto is one of my favorite manga/anime every, perhaps the favorite. Kakashi and Sasuke are my favorite characters.

There is a search option, everybody. You can always search to see if a certain anime has been talked about before and then ressurect the topic.
Keeps the board from getting cluttered...

Good man.

Is there anything bad in the anime

theres a few sexual innuendos and partial nudity

ive seen 60 eps, its really good!

ive only read two chapters out of the shonen. Kakashi IS COOL

I have just seen up to episode 15 and it is really good.Naruto is the number one loudmouth and hyperactive ninja

I've read about the first 25 chapters of Naruto, and seen clips from further into teh series. I love it. It's my absolute favorite anim in the world! ::hugs Naruto plushie::

ive only read one manga but its good i can tell

Hey, more Naruto avatars. Nice to see. What I'm waiting for is a Kakashi avatar. If this one wasn't already mine, there's one I know I'd take.

has anyone researched the word "chakra" on google? is this some sort of new age thing?

Chakra?
I believe there are certain eastern philosiphies that have something to do with it but I wouldn't worry about it.

It's used basically the same way "Chi" is used in Dragonball or "Magic" in Final Fantasy.

...as purely fantasy.

Well, I've never heard of Chakra, but isn't it real? I mean, all those eastern religions believe in it. Magic IS real. A type of it, atleast, from what I understand...sure, you can't shoot fireballs, but the demonic rituals and such. I think....someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Why yes, I can use chakra to shoot giant fireballs.

No, in all seriousness, chakra is a concept that is basically exactly like the concept of chi (as these concepts are in the pagan religions, not the manga). From the top of my head I'm uncertain what religion it is, but it is an eastern concept.

MasterDias expresses the logic associated nicely. It's fantasy.

I wouldn't call it New Age, though it is similar (new faces on extremely old concepts). Still, there is no new chakra assocated movement, and I would guess the word is used more related to Naruto than anything in real life.

I saw a book on chakra in Borders and got concerned.

What's all this about nudity and violence in Naruto? What's the show about anyway?

violence, obviously the fighting
nudity, never full nudity i think, always covered with smoke during sexy no justu

Naruto is about a boy who has the 6 tailed fox demon inside of him. He, Naruto, strives to be leader of the ninja village, because he wishes to be recogonized. He is a jokester (hence the nudity!). He goes to a ninja school. The focus of the anime goes from character to character, not just Naruto. The violence is the ninja fights]http://www.sacredcenters.com/chakras.html[/url]
Look at the history

I don't know why I am bothered by chakra business when I am not so bothered by HP's magic (even though books claim she based HP's magic on the real thing)

At the moment, I'm wondering who will pick up the license to the Naruto anime.

First off, it's a nine-tailed fox demon. Just a nitpick. Furthermore, there is quite a cast of supporting characters who are just as cool as Naruto.

Also, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that the anime is not liscensed by FoxFamily. Not just because I don't like them, but because I'm afraid they'll edit it far too much. I could go for Toonami or Adult Swim.

I wanna fandub (no, I don't mean sub) Naruto...How fun would that be?!? Some of my friends and I were thinking about fandubing some random anime to an original script that didn't have anything to do with the anime's actual plot...^^ Naruto might be fun to do that to...Teehee...Yes, I'm well aware that I have no life...

That could be a great deal of fun, if you had a great original script. Also, the fandub would be cool, but the anime will probably be liscenced by some American company, making it quite illegal.

Violence (Duh, it's about ninja's)

Blood (Not very graphic though.)

Mild language

Err... "Sexy no Jutsu," which is a technique that Naruto uses, (only a couple times) where he transforms into a naked girl, and gives people nosebleeds. However, all of the "essentials" are covered with smoke.

Overall, I don't think it's too bad. It's one of my favorite anime's so far.

Edit: I forgot to mention "chakra." If you have ever seen DBZ, their energy, called "ki," or "chi," is basically the same. It is basically supposed to be the energy in your body. However, they use it to do all kinds of crazy stuff, like in DBZ. A lot of people, paticularly in Asia, believe in chi, and fueng shue. (Did I spell it right?) I however, being a Christian do not believe it, and it doesn't bother me to watch this. I just see it as fiction.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Naruto has, sealed within him, a demon fox with nine tails. Demons, as I've found in a lot of animes, are thought of differently in Japanese culture than we think of them as Christians. They are often nothing more than monsters, as some are not evil. There's a word for them, which I can't think of right now. Anyway, it seems that the word "demon" is just a 'cooler' way of saying "monster." Enough of my rambling....

I would recommend this anime to pretty much anyone. (Well, maybe everyone over the age of 12) Just as long as you don't believe everything you see on tv.

I LOVE NARUTO! never seen the anime, but the mangas really good! ^__^ I like Satsuke he's so kawaii!!
