Naruto comes from the Naruto manga by Masashi Kishimoto with an anime TV series adaptation. Its main character, Naruto Uzumaki, is a loud, hyperactive, adolescent ninja who constantly searches for approval and recognition. In Naruto Sasuke and Sakura will follow him in his quest to become Hokage, acknowledged as the leader and strongest of all ninja in the village. The Naruto series was followed by the Naruto Shippudden saga.
These are some pretty frickin' good cartoons and anime and whatnot.
Best of this List: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Worst of this List: Naruto (but it's my guilty pleasure)
Shout-Outs: Avatar: The Last Airbender for being the absolute greatest western animation of my childhood and for having the worst live-action movie
Avatar: The Legend of Korra for having to follow-up The Last Airbender and being just as great
Death Note for the mental aerobics
The Future Diary for being uncomfortable to watch with other people but having a pretty satisfying story
Alex Hirsch for ending one of the best cartoons of this generation when he no longer had a story he wanted to tell - takes guts
Naruto for making me watch 5,000 episodes of filler for 1 or 2 of a pretty sweet battle
Samurai Jack for coming back from the dead to give us the ending we all needed
