Well sorta, I guess. Im at the episode where the Sand Village attacks and Orochimaru takes the hokage as a hostage. I cant imagine the exams continuing after this so Im pretty sure Im done with that arc lol

Naruto is so much better than I thought itd be. Every episode is way more fun to watch than it should be.

Yeah, the beginning is really fun. You're nearing filler territory now.

Any favorite characters so far?

Eh, the delineation between arcs is confusing, especially because the change is abrupt at times. I guess it's the Konoha Crush arc, although it's *really* short compared to the Chunin Exams arc. And I will say that Sarutobi v Orochimaru might rank among the worst fights in the show, since both are renowned warriors yet the level of their jutsu is pathetic even compared to things seen within the next two arcs.

The fallout from this arc is good, though, since it leads to a cool confrontation.

After the early arcs, the show goes downhill for a long while.

By the part they're at, Neji and Hinata were my favorite characters. I really liked their white eyes for some reason.

Just your own personal ranking though right? I don't remember people thinking that fight was bad. I always felt like Orochimaru was just toying with the 3rd. Then was caught by surprise at the end.

The Chuunin Exams arc had my favorite Naruto OP though!

Early Naruto is amazing. So much thought and effort goes in to the fights. It isn't like dbz where the character with the highest power level wins (at least not yet anyway...).

Shikamaru my favorite, followed by oro.

I like most of the characters except for Sakura and maybe a few others.

Naruto is great, don't perpetuate hate, love everyone as if they're your mates.

No, even compared to the fights coming up in just a few episodes, the battle looks conspicuously low-level. And while you might argue that Orochimaru was holding back, Sarutobi *is* capable of doing a lot more than that.

Shikamaru my favorite


This. His fights tend to be much better than others in the series since they're more strategic in nature.

that's probably because of the power scaling. Sarutobi vs Oro was a high level fight at the time. Starting at valley of the end fight, each fight gets bigger than the previos one.

plus, with the oro fight, they were both probably just holding back. the 3rd could've taken oro's life instead of his arms if he wanted to, iirc

Neji, Shikamaru, Kakashi, and Guy are my favorites. Cant stand the frog sage.

Jiraiya gets better in later story arcs and he's involved in a few filler episodes I liked. Oh, plus he's the toad sage, not the frog sage >_>
