Introduction

*UPDATE 2/10/08*
Recently I located a site that lets you download DVD quality episodes for hundreds of anime series, as well as anime movies.

When I first visited the site I was ready to leave because it looked like it didn't even have anime episodes or movies but then I checked out the enourmous amount of episodes for download and the super fast download speeds. To be honest my friend actually pointed this site out to me so I signed up and it's like I have the boxed set for all my anime series at my finger tips (i know that sounds corny, but im really excited about my find). I'm usually the last person to sign up for anything online, but I can honestly say this was a great decision.

Another great find I made was this site that gives you access to thousands of tv channels on your computer, this includes The Anime Network as well as channels straight from Japan so you can watch your favorite anime the second it's on the air. I really liked the fact that it's just a one-time fee (I think like 40$) and not something you have to pay monthly.

Naruto Synopsis
(im sure most of you know the story, but I figured that anyone hasn't heard of Naruto might find this useful)


Twelve years before the events at the focus of the series, the nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konohagakure. Powerful enough to raise tsunamis and flatten mountains with a swish of one of its tails, it raised chaos and slaughtered many people, until the leader of the Leaf Village - the Fourth Hokage - sacrificed his own life to seal the demon inside the newborn, Naruto Uzumaki.The Fourth Hokage, who was celebrated as a hero for sealing the demon fox away, wanted Naruto to be respected in a similar light by being the containment vessel for the demon fox.

The Leaf Village, however, shunned him, regarding Naruto as if he were the demon fox itself and mistreated him throughout most of his childhood. A decree made by the Third Hokage forbade anyone to discuss or mention the attack of the demon fox to anyone, even their own children. However, this did not stop them from treating him like an outcast and as a result he grew up an orphan without friends, family, or acknowledgment. He could not force people to befriend him, so he sought acknowledgment and attention the only way he knew, through pranks and mischief.

However, that soon changed after Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy by using his Shadow Clone Technique, a technique from a forbidden scroll that he was tricked into stealing, to save his teacher, Iruka Umino, from the renegade ninja Mizuki. That encounter gave Naruto two insights: that he was the container of the demon fox, and that there was someone besides the Third Hokage who actually cared for and acknowledged him. His graduation from the academy opened a gateway to the events and people that would change and define his world, including his way of the ninja for the rest of his life.
