The Cartoon I Grew Up With (Entry #4)

Hello Everyone, I hope you had a great day !


        Today,  I want to discuss something that marked my childhood, being a series in the Anime category. The name of the Series we will talk about today is 

"Naruto"



     Naruto is one of the most popular and influential anime series in the world. if you haven't heard of the term "anime", it is a specific category of cartoons produced in Japanese artistic style. 

    The author Masashi Kishimoto started making this series thinking that it wouldn't catch on too much, huh, on the other hand, we can see that since 2002, the author's hand was forced to continue the Naruto series with two more series with over 1100 episodes and 11 movies and go with it into a full franchise.

    The background of the series is in a universe with several Ninja villages (Hidden Villages), each with different fighting styles and specializations based on elements of nature (Fire, water, wind, earth, lightning).

 The combat system is strategic based on combinations of techniques, chakra and supernatural powers. The series caught the attention of viewers, because of the emotional story, that was about an outsider who finds his way through the courage to never give up on his dreams. The protagonist of the series is Naruto Uzumaki, an orphan boy who dreams of becoming...

Hokage (the most powerful ninja in the village). 

    But the essence of the story, is the protagonist being marginalized by the others because a dangerous demon, "Kyuubi" known as the "Nine-Tailed Fox" was sealed in him. Throughout the series, Naruto goes through many trials and struggles, managing to make friends and gain the trust of his village. 

The moral messages in the series were inspired by the author's past, having a great desire for recognition and loneliness. 

A quote from Kishimoto that caught my attention was this:

 "Naruto is the story of a boy who never gives up. I created him to give hope to anyone who feels invisible."


Have you watched this show already ?

 - if yes, give me some feedback. I would love to read it.


That was my blog for today, I hope I influenced your attention and made you start watching this show. Have a great night and take care, Peace !

    Hi David!

    I really love how informative your post was. I used to watch Naruto when I was in 8th grade. It's still a good anime, but I'm way too far away to finish the series. I won't give up!
