Fighting Dreamers

Naruto is a weird series for me. It falls into that "I like the premise and initial setup, and I like the potential ideas it has, but I don't really like how it came out." I tend to have that problem with a lot of shonen stories like this. Their premises interest me, but I lose interest quickly once the escalation starts. But my favourite part of the show was the early setup and the beginning foil between Gaara and Naruto. 

As a side note, I actually have no problem with Kishimoto's individual art style. (always gotta give love marker artists). I have one of the early art books for the series and the work is really lovely.
