I'm never really sure what to put in these things, but here goes...

I've been a Naruto fan for about two years now. My first exposure to the series was through the anime. I had heard about the show, but I never bothered to watch it until I got into Bleach, which is when I decided to broaden my horizons, as it were. The show was pretty cool, but it didn't quite grab me at first (I ended up losing my place too, which didn't help).

I started to enjoy and follow the series properly through watching a mishmash of clips on YouTube and starting from the beginning with the manga online. Funnily enough, the point that I had reached during the story where I had originally left off with the anime (Phase 2 of the Chunin Exam) was where I became hooked, and after that I pretty much threw myself headlong into it as much as I was able.

My favourite characters are Naruto and Sakura (handy that, considering the site and all). I loved Naruto's initial "never give up, never go back on my word" attitude, and I enjoyed seeing the way that he changed people's perception of him through hard work. When I first tried to get into the series, I wasn't entirely sold on Sakura, but my second attempt with the manga was where she grew on me. I was able to see where she was coming from a bit more and realised that she wasn't so bad. The more I found out about her and the relationship she shares with Naruto, though, I couldn't help but like her.

I like to draw, though I have problems with motivation, and I would like to become a mangaka or comic-book artist & writer someday.
