I enjoyed the manga, but never got into the anime. In the anime, Uzumaki Naruto never really matured like he did in the manga. It was sort of annoying....
I like it and in some ways don't like it. I'm glad that the fillers in the first series are finally over!
There is some good character development, and some characters that need way more development. All in all, it's a decent series anyone can get into if they're not being too skeptical while watching it.....there's way too many things to pick at. On the other hand, there are memorable character quirks, dark pasts, and some other cool things that fans of Shounen anime can easily get into.
