First impressions on Naruto?

[Shikamaru Nara]

Did you like it from the first episode?

Or did something happen that turned you on?

[Sub-Zero]

Nothing turned me on.

And by watching the first episode I didn't really get into it because nothing was really interesting on the first episode. Like around the part when Naruto was fighting Haku and when he was fighting Gaara. And when Sasuke returned to the Chunin Exams. When these happened, that's when I really got into the anime.

I watched the first few episodes then I got bored.It wasn't till during a filler arch towards the end of the first season that I actually got into it.

I personally hated it, and bitched and bitched on it. I actually got into it when I saw Sasuke vs Gaarra ep. I was like "The blue haired guys is friggen epic!"

I liked Naruto from the first episode I saw. That episode was the one when Naruto saves Inari's mom.

[jesse uzumaki]

to be honest no I didn't like it until i saw sasuke battle against garra. this is just sad reading all these posts that sasuke was the main reason people got into naruto kind of makes you think that sasuke was the main character and the cool one and not naruto.

[Kakashi Hatake_Yamato]

when i first watched it( i think it was the ep where naruto transformed into sasuke and tried to kiss sakura, but he had to use the restroom), i thought it was kinda awkward. but after more eps, and when it was the bell training with kakashi, i thought it was pretty cool. kakashi was just so awesome! and still is. the zabuza arc was just amazing, and kakashi................tehehe~!

I first actually made time for it when I was randomly skipping through channels and fixing socks. xD

The episode that got me into it was when Lee was fighting the Sound ninja, and so he was the one who got me into the series. I missed about 30 eps but then I found the manga at a bookstore and had to buy it.

It was a Freudian slip when I said "Ooh, he's hot." when describing Kakashi Hatake.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I like it from the start, and the interest died little by little after the Sasuke Retrieval Arc.

I still like it, but not as much as I did back then.

I watched it fom the 1st episode all the way to Shippuden episode 207.It's gotten really interseting.

[Pain-Konan]

I can't remember exactly as it was so long ago on Toonami. I just started watching one day, and liked it since. It's always hard for me to explain why I like certain things though, so I can't say really why I ended up liking it.

My first impression of Naruto was that it was really boring. I told myself that if the story didn't pick up soon, I was gonna ditch. But it was around the Chuunin exams that it really caught my interest and it just picked up from there. I had no idea how hooked I was going to end up on it. It got so bad that I stayed up all night just watching as many episodes as I could stay awake for on Hulu. And I even tried to watch some episodes on my phone while I was in class! I'm all caught up with the episodes so now it's painful to wait every week for the new episodes to come out whereas before, I was watching episodes on Hulu non-stop. Oh well, such is life.

The first taste I got was when they first showed the TV commercial announcing it. It showed scenes from the Naruto and Haku fight and was like "Holy crap!!! This show looks totally awesome! So I watched it from the beginning and haven't missed an episode since.

[Madalyn Hatake]

I first found it online, and I saw the word ninjas, which got me interested. I googled the first episode and started watching. The first thing I heard was what sounded like an old wise sage speaking. He said:

'A long time ago...'

i thought that was cliche, but I remembered that this series had ninjas so i kept watching. Then, I heard:

'Suddenly, a nine tailed fox appeared!'

i had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard. It was all old and sage-like and then a random fox appeared. Ever since then, I watched it, got addicted to it, and watched it till the very end, mostly in Japanese. Now, I can not wait for the next episode and manga volume. =D

[Chachi]

i remember i first watched it on tv but i never really gotten into it.
then a few years later i started watching it online (from the beginning) because i wanted to see what all the rave was about, since everyone was obsessed with it.
and i fell in love

[geogreymon123]

Since Naruto vs Haku

[White Zetsu]

i remember the first episode i saw, it was 1 episode after where naruto joins the haku vs. sasuke fight and i saw naruto go 9-tails and was like wow that was so cool i ant to watch more i think i was like between 4 and 6 and i didnt have CN back then so the next episode i saw was the one where jiraiya was introduced, i didnt get it all then but when i rewatched it awhile ago i thought it was hilarious, but i didnt get CN until the last few episodes were airing i think i got CN like a month before they took off tunami it sucked i was like yayyy now i can watch naruto and then i was like why!!?? anyway after i watched those first episodes i always liked it but saw it rarely, until i saw UN4 and got introduced to shippuden, then saw it on DXD like 2 weeks later, and then i discovered this site

Friends told me about it. That's how I got into it.

[HyuugaSenju]

Heh... the first episode :P i turned my t.v on then i saw the fight between Gaara and Deidara. I thought it was really cool when i saw the sand ( i thought it could fly :P) and i liked Deidara's bird ( i also thought that Deidara was the good guy and Gaara was the bad guy so then when i saw how Deidara won i was interested and happy :P) Then i started learning more about it and drawing it :P
