I was introduced into the world of anime, manga, and Japanese culture through Naruto which was passed on to me by my uncle who had all the original Naruto episodes (the non-Shippuden ones) and me and my siblings spent all that summer speeding through the series. That was when I was in Elementary School. It's been years since then and now I'm of age but despite more than a hundred and fifty different animes and mangas I've checked out since then, the complexity of the plot, nostalgia, and it's perspective of human nature has ensured that the series has always remained and will always remain in the top spot of my favourites list. It's somewhat bittersweet that it ended.
