Best fighting action ever! The characters are so strong, the transformation is intense which is far beyond of what I can say, and it has so many cool characters. There is goku, gohan, goten, piccolo, yamacha, krillin, vegeta, tien, chiatzo ( I can't spell very good), trunks, videl, pan, uub, dende, and majin buu! Kamehameha!

Naruto is better than Dragon ball Z. I mean who wants to watch a whole bunch of grown men screaming and squatinglike their taking a dump (when they power up they usually kind of squat down and yell very loud, like you would do if you had a bad case of diarea). The only thing missing is the toilet. But no offense, I don't hate it, it just isn't my favourite. It is in my top tens no doubt. It's in second.

Swap this with fairy tail on the perverted anime list and we got a good list for both! #N->FT if u agree

Whenever my mom passed cartoon network and inuyasha was on I would yell until she went back to inuyasha. I really love kagome. KAGOME is the best character I ever knew in my life! She has this perfect personality, is super nice, and is so hilarous! I just love her and when she tells Inuyasha to SIT WHICH IS A PERFECT Example of how she is so FUNny. Inuyasha FOREVER!

What more can I say besides it being the greatest anime ever created!
I still remember watching new episodes every Saturday night and excited to see what happends next
