Please. Remember the Nintendo critters? What were they called...um...Poke'mon? Naruto's ain't got nothing on these geezers.
Still, credit where credit is due. Congrats Kishimoto. You suvived ten long years which is hard for many animes and became famous along the way. A gift for your triumph.
It's a ninja!!!

TEN EFFING YEARS! holy cheese on rye, damn do i feel old, though i can honestly say i've only been reading it for seven! lol (not sure if that's a good or a bad thing)
honestly i've gotten disappointed with it; not because of the craze (tho it doesn't help), because i don't mind other people liking it, i think that's a good thing, but i think the story has taken a weird turn for me. it's not the same like how it was. it's more serious and dark, and for me, i loved the comedy of naruto. it's not to say that there wasn't "dark" parts (like sasuke's past and all) but, i liked "pre-shippuden" better than i like shippuden itself. the characters were cooler, and everyone was ALIVE! grr...
Either time goes a lot faster than I thought it did, or Naruto took a while to get over here. (And it's both, really, but the latter one more prominently in this case. I think.) I mean, I remember it airing here about two years (was it then?) ago... Masashi's been at it quite a while.

Wait, what? Ten years? Ten? TEN!?!? Geez...
Kishimoto must really love his work. I, for one, am grateful.

Translation must take a long time if it's ten years old already.

Ten years?
Whoa.
