Just wait until the end of summer, when Naruto gets licensed for release in america. Chances are that we'll be seeing dubbed episodes on cartoon network by 2005.

really? i know its not even finished in japan yet. airs on wednesday, usually subbed by friday. I keep up with both the anime and the mange at www.narutochaos.com
they require you to register, but its free, and you can download either from them or use bit torrent

Jiraiya is da pimp.

If you want to watch Naruto you have to download it. You might be able to buy some illegal HK subs off of Ebay, but those cost money, are more illegal then downloading an unlicensed anime (from what I hear anyway), and the subs are unreadably horrible from my experience.
That being said, yes Naruto does rock.
If the anime ever does get licensed, you probably won't see it at all until 2005 or 2006 (they still haven't translated Gundam Seed yet...yeesh)and its on episode 76 without being licensed...

Aw, poor mortals, we already have Naruto DVDs in Singapore... :p

For some bizarre and obscure reason the anime seems much better than the Manga. Probably because Kishimoto tries to convey lots of action and it gets a bit too confusing to my dinosaur brain (gronk) at times.

However, the manga is MUCH more advanced than the anime story-wise ( SPOILER ALERT: In case you didn't know, Sasuke's brother shows up and kicks Kakashi's ass six ways to Sunday without even laying a finger on him, only to be driven off by Gai. END SPOILER)

You don't have to buy any subs for naruto. All the epsiodes are subed for free by ANBU 'n company. All you need is Bit Torrent. Here's the site, http://anbudom.net/
*goes to the site* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The department of justice got to 'em!

Ah well, their subs are still stored here, http://www.animesuki.com/group.php/5.html

and here's a complete naruto fan sub list, http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/3.html

yay naruto. I was wondering until I got my last issue of shonen jump and naruto manga how sasuke could possibly be dead so early in the series.

...what? But it's legal to do what they're doing. Naruto isn't licensed yet (thank GOD. Why do some of you people insist on wanting to blow piles of cash when you can get this stuff for free legally??)

Anyway, it's a good series. I just started downloading the manga and haven't read any yet, but I've got a few problems with the anime. Well, one problem anyway. The fights take too long. It's painful to watch episode after episode after episode after episode after etc about ONE fight. I feel like my brain slows to a crawl when watching it because it takes so long for stuff to happen.

Everything else is good though. I like the story.

The fight scenes at times tend to scream of dbz, at least when nothing is happening. At least on Naruto you have cool and new attacks for most of the characters.

No, they got in trouble for their april fools joke. Impersonating a goverenment agency or something. They got fined 500 dollars and have to do public service last i checked.
