Blasphemy!
Naruto is definately one of the better-written animes out there.
I know better than to argue with a Naruto fan (have almost been killed several times for that) but honestly, it's just not the best. I admit, I prefer my action to have some thought-provoking qualities to it, like with Rurouni Kenshin or Cowboy Bebop or Fullmetal Alchemist, so Naruto's lack of intelligence makes it painful... well, ok, so I only watched from episodes 60 to 90, and the anime club said they were slow episodes, but I didn't laugh once, didn't cry once, didn't have to think about something because of an episode once...
Ah well. That's the beauty of anime, there's something for everyone. Maybe I'll watch a dub if it's on tv... they can't screw that show up too much.
