What age groups does "Naruto" appeal to?

[Vidda Hatake]

Curiousity's got the better of me... You don't have to give your actual age, just a ball-park figure will do (i.e. 20;s or teens, etc.)

Me, I'm 50 and proud of it!! I'll NEVER grow up!!!

[EdFry]

Well ironically I found out about Naruto back in 2005 that would make me, about 13-14 depending on when it aired and I thought it looked stupid and child orreinted. Then a few years later I kept hearing these 20 and 30 year olds talking about it on the internet so I decided to watch the Naruto Hundo or whatever it was called(when CN aired 100 episodes with limited commercial interuptions). I was hooked from then and now I have been collecting the Uncut Box sets and i'm planning on purchasing the Manga soon. I would say it appeals to a wide variety from 15-40 just a rough estimate.

[Leaf Shinobi]

Hm Im 20 now. I think it is really appealing to a large variety of groups.

Hey isnt the oldest character in the show (Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraya) like in their 50's anyway?

A few aspects are not appealing, sometimes the girly stuff is boring that they occasionally do, but everything with Naruto and the Fighting and the "I will never give up" idealogy is right on.

Thanks for the info and, yes, Tsunade is in her 50's. She uses a jutsu to stay looking as young as she does.

[UchihaBlossom]

I found out about it when I was about 12 and finishing 6th grade. I thought it was kinda stupid at first lol I was saying,"What's with that blonde kid?" and various questions of the sort, then I re-watched it and I totally fell in love with it. I'm 16 now and still love it to this day (and I'm still waiting for Shippuden! :( )

[Keira-chan]

a wide variety...I guess 7-18 is the largest group

Orochimaru and her seem like their afraid to get old lol.

[Vidda Hatake]

You may be right, Leaf Shinobi!! I, however, am loving it!! I'm in better shape at 50 than I was when I was 20! Of course, the Heelys, swimming, bike riding, horse riding (and training), and other stuff might have something to do with it... : :D

[Kisame]

Young kids and Teenagers mostly.

[sasuke7]

id say teens and preteens

[SRhyse]

I know a professor that's older than Yoda, and he loves Naruto.

[Vidda Hatake]

Thank goodness!! I was afraid I was the only 'older' kid on the block!!! I may be 50, but I'll NEVER grow up!! ;)

[Leaf Shinobi]

lol. I guess there is a certain appeal to the older group. Especially when they give them a category that was entirely catered to Naruto (and it was for the Adult Age Group on Jeopardy!!!!)

[Kisame]

Yoda!

Is there like a machine keeping him alive?

:mrgreen:

[jmc8799]

Well my nine year old son was the one that introduced me to Naruto and now at 29 I'm a bigger fan than he is. Add to it that I'm a woman, my husband thinks it's hilarious and pokes fun at me all the time for it!

[Uchiha Itachi]

everyone

[Vivian Nie]

I first watched the show when i was 14 , in senior 1. Now I've been 18 and loving it all the time~~~

[Vidda Hatake]

Funny how that works...My daughter is the one who showed it to me and then I was hooked. She's still into it, but not nearly as much as I am...
At least your hubby doesn't mind... Mine gets grumpy if I even mention it, but at least I can wear my many t-shirts...and sometimes my vest...

[Natsumii145]

Im 13-15 and a girl. I found out about naruto in 2007. I was wandering around the library and saw where they kept manga. I wandered around and came across naruto and thought "oh hey, thats that thing i keep seeing". I started reading it and was hooked. Kakashi has been my fave char from the start!! woot!

[jhokage613]

Well when Naruto first aried on Cartoon network it was rated Y-7 and I think the younger kids watched it than now I think that since its no longer on during the day and is PG that probly like 11-17 pretty much teenagers

[narutorocks]

I think everyone.

[*ichigorukiafan*]

i have watched naruto for years im now 17 and still watching it! i dont think im ever gonna grow up either lol

[Naruto-Uzumaki-25]

I think Naruto is for everyone. There are many people who are in different age groups who like Naruto. I am 20 years old and I like Naruto a lot! :D I don't care about what other people say, Naruto is a good Anime/Manga series.

[Toma RNK]

My group of friends are all Naruto fans, there are about 12 of us and we are aged between 25 and 31.

[Mizuki]

its kind of hard to say because my little brother and his friends watch it and they were like 5 when they started watching naruto
i say it ranges from maybe 5 years old to like 50 years old

[Leaf Shinobi]

Since they put all the Naruto Manga in my college bookstore, I would think that it must appeal to people of the college age as well, lol.

[Naruto-Uzumaki-25]

I am glad that there are people my age and older who like Naruto! :D

[Soccer Ninja 21]

I'm 13, It is so cool how Naruto brings together so many otherwise clashing age groups. Like high schoolers and middle schools and people out of school and others still, in college and grade school.

[uchihagurl97]

im 11 in 6th grade and i just started naruto this year( im already in shippuden) a lot of kids my age really are in to it.

[Black King]

I'm almost 15...and I've beem into it for like...8 years. :o
I have Anime friends younger than me, friends who are seniors in high school, ones in colledge, and friends with ages ranging from 30-50.

Naruto is loved by people of all ages! :mrgreen:

[Vidda Hatake]

i have watched naruto for years im now 17 and still watching it! i dont think im ever gonna grow up either lol
Yay for you!!! :D But when the time comes to do what you have to (responsibilities), take care of business first, then play!!! (yucky stuff out of the way, then party all day!!) :lol:

I want to thank all of you!!! I used to think I was the only 'older' Naruto fan, but it seems there are others out there... THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SasukesTragedy]

Me? 13. My cousin? 8. This guy I know. 30. We're all crazy about it. Naruto is for everyone.

[Chaos_Lord]

I think it appeals to almost all age groups I mean whats not to love

[HiddenMist]

I think it appeals to almost all age groups I mean whats not to love

true that

[Ade-kun]

I am 21 years old. :D

I guess the target audience is between 10 and 18.

[BaneDeidara]

well i'm 27 and i love naruto, and i know people of all ages that like naruto

[Soccer Ninja 21]

I'm 13, I hate it when people think anime lovers are nerds. A lot of kids in my school think that, so I just shrugg 'em off... I have friends who respect my interests! Here, here!

[Naruto]

All age groups but mostly teens.

[zerosameri]

i'm 13 and my sis is 24. and we both love the show naruto

[Vermillian]

It tough to say... i am 20 and watch it...but the original series is prolly more appealing to age group 9-16 where shippuden is prolly more appealing to like 15-20's

[souljaofsorrow]

I'm 26 and i love looking at naruto i just wish it aired on adult swim so they can keep that childish bs to a minimum

[Vermillian]

I'm 26 and i love looking at naruto i just wish it aired on adult swim so they can keep that childish bs to a minimum

agreed

[Latias1236]

Definitely teens. Hey, it appeals to me and I'm 15.

[Vidda Hatake]

I'm 26 and i love looking at naruto i just wish it aired on adult swim so they can keep that childish bs to a minimum

agreed

Totally agreed!! I also wish the U.S. wouldn't censor the manga down so much!! It's practically ridiculous! But, on the other hand, at least we ARE getting it!!

[Black King]

Totally agreed!! I also wish the U.S. wouldn't censor the manga down so much!! It's practically ridiculous! But, on the other hand, at least we ARE getting it!!

I definatly agree with that! 8-)
I HATE how much the censor it!

Agreed.

me too.

[Yozakura`]

One thing I like about the Naruto series, is how wide of an audience it has. I know people online who love Naruto who are in their twenties. And I've seen 6 year old kids parade around wearing Naruto headbands. So, the way I see it, Naruto appeals to many seperate age groups, not just young boys and teens.

[Inuyashahinata]

Basically any I think

Wait they censor the Manga in the United States, that just sounds un-constitutional. It is one thing to water down T.V. shows but that is just messed up.

[Avian]

I think it appeals to teens the most. I started reading Naruto back in 2002 though. Wow, Naruto has been an adventure for 7 years of my life!

[Luna Mikazuki]

All ages no doubt

[surferninja]

i saw it when i was 8 and it was the orginal series and i thought that naruto was a loud mouth and didnt really like it but now that im 13 a friend told me about it and im hooked on naruto shippuden and you are not old my dads 53 and mom is 51

[azulozai0812]

I think Naruto appeals to most people from ages 8-16

[Sai's brother]

i have a friend who watched it when he was like 4 or 5 but he is 8 now

[misskakashi]

I (early 30's) started watching because my nephew (preteen) was always taking about it and now I'm hooked! It's great to have something that we both enjoy so much to discuss.

[Naruko-chan]

Well, I got into it when I was about 15-16. Now I'm 18. ^^

[Kisa_Hatake]

I'm 17 right now, so i think it is for every one.

[Dattebayo]

I think the general age 12+

[Toma RNK]

Dattebayo, your username amuses me to no end.

[Chidori Shuriken]

I think Naruto appeals to most people from ages 8-16

Yeah, me too.

[animelover]

yea i was 12-13 when i got into it, now i'm 15 ^ ^

[seannfma]

yea i was 12-13 when i got into it, now i'm 15 ^ ^
same here

[Hidan]

Well I think it applies to all ages,(if you like it that means.)

[Agent Spectre]

My body is somewhere in it's 20's, however I act much older and much younger at times, so I'm not quite sure of my REAL age. XD

Both my Okaasan and Obaachan watch and adore the show to no end. (My obaachan was so happy when I told her she had the same b-day as Naruto-kun. She loves him so much.. XP)

Naruto definitely appeals to all ages. We watch Naruto every day in my house.

[Akatsuki2k8]

I think Naruto apply to any1 who likes action

[Yajyuu Mikazuki]

i would say teens+ because even though it can seem kind of kiddy at times it really does have an awesome story line that makes you can't wait for next weeks episode.

[Sharingan Shinobi]

Yeah I loved it when it first came out it seems like yesterday... but I am 20 and I still love it :mrgreen:

[Naruto18]

when i watched it i was 14 and i'm 18 now and i still like it and always will

[Hally]

Teens and up. I am 27 and I love it. If I ever had children I would not let then watch till there older. especially shippden.
