I discovered नारूटो years ago, my brother was the reason. He was watching it with his फ्रेंड्स and I was spying on them. I ended up watching a whole episode. After that day, I fell in प्यार with the दिखाना and watched as much as I could. Thanks to my brother, I discovered the awesome series we know today:)
Well, when I was in middle school, I found out that नारूटो was coming on Toonami for the first time, so later that night I watched the premiere. ^_^ And I got HOOKED into it! Especially when it progressed. Ah, good times.
I first discovered नारूटो when I was... 7! It was on Toonami on TV and I loved it at first sight! ♡♡♡ I started to talk about it to everyone at school, home, even strangers. XP I didn't even know it was an ऐनीमे at the time! I can honestly say that I wouldn't be the person I am today without Naruto. It's और than just a series to me. :3 <333
I was 10. I had this friend who was obsessed with this show, and she showed me some episodes from the Land of the Waves Arc and the Chuunin Exams Arc. To be honest, I didn't really understand it, but I liked what I saw. (Okay, maybe I just liked Sasuke) Unfortunately, I sort of forgot about it after that. 2 years later, I overheard a different friend mentioning Itachi's death, and I started watching episodes, पढ़ना the मांगा and fanfiction. I was an idiot and sort of believed that the fanfiction was...canon. Don't ask. Anyway, I लॉस्ट interest again, and didn't think of it much at all until early last year, which is when I started watching it from the very beginning, just so I'd fully understand it. Anyway, I'm still watching and catching up. Easily my प्रिय show. <3
I'd known about it forever but I never really cared. I got into anime/manga when I was 14-15 but refused to watch नारूटो for 3-4 years because I was so sure I wasn't going to like it. I kind of looked down on it tbh, but curiosity finally got the better of me when I was at the peak of my horror ऐनीमे phase. I planned to only watch the first episode या two just to make sure I didn't like it. Obviously I failed spectacularly because I couldn't stop binge-watching the episodes, and now नारूटो has surpassed literally every other anime/manga I've seen/read to this day. (I'd also known about Sasuke's popularity and was very skeptical, now he's my प्रिय character ever.)
Funnily enough, looking back on it I actually saw two episodes of नारूटो with my friend back when I was about 11 (it was the Hinata vs. Neji fight in the Chunin Exam Arc), but I didn't know what it was at the time. I didn't know any of the characters या anything about the story so I thought it was so boring. Now it's one of my प्रिय scenes lol.
