Anime is animation originating from Japan. It has a huge following and not surprisingly considering it seems so real yet unique when you’re watching it. There’s every style imaginable available to watch right from comedy to more adult versions. It’s used in television series, films, videos, video games, commercials, and internet-based releases.

Think of Astro Boy. Astro boy was a Japanese manga series, manga meaning cartoons and comics, and the television program first broadcast in Japan from 1963 to 1966. The story follows the adventures of a fictional robot named Astro Boy and some other characters along the way. I remember watching Astro Boy just as much as I remember watching Sesame Street or Fraggle Rock so it must have been on those Saturday mornings I spent watching my favorite cartoon line up.

I can actually still hear his voice. Generally, the most common form of anime drawings are exaggerated physical features such as large eyes and big hair. The large eyes style, drawn on many anime and manga characters, allow characters to show emotions distinctly. A wide variety of recognizable changes to the characters eyes can happen when their mood or their emotions changes. Love-hearts and doe-eyes indicate an infatuation, while stars indicate that the character is star-struck. Spirals indicate confusion or dizziness, while flames or wide empty semicircles indicate that the character is angry or vengeful. When dead, unconscious or stunned, X’s are sometimes used as an indication of the state. These are all recognizable. I’m sure you are picturing a story you’ve seen while you are reading this. Females have bigger eyes than males to make them look more childish and therefore girly.

Anime characters can use a wide variety of facial expressions to denote moods and thoughts. Characters that are shocked or surprised will perform a “face fault”, in which they display an extremely exaggerated expression like the wide open mouth that doesn’t move. Angry characters may exhibit a “vein” or “stress mark” effect, where lines in place of bulging veins will appear on their forehead.

Sweat drops are a familiar sight when it comes to these characters. They can be drawn with one or more prominent beads of sweat on their brow or forehead. This represents a broad spectrum of emotions, including embarrassment, exasperation, confusion, and shock. This doesn’t seem to happen in real life. At least it’s never happened to me but we always seem to know what it means when we’re watching it. Bright blushing represents embarrassment or romantic feelings. That might be a little more of a real human quality; at least for me.

Even though these videos or shows are exaggerated and probably wouldn’t happen in your day to day life, they still have a charm about them that makes you want to watch them and makes it easy to relate to them as well.

Utopia – a perfect world, something that people long for and yet never seek because it’s impossible.  Anyone who even attempts to create a utopia nowadays will probably be scoffed at and scorned for their naive idealism.  And yet, it still fascinates us, this impossible concept.  And though it might not be realistic to dream that we will be living in a ‘utopia’ anytime soon, we can still recreate it in our dreams and fantasies.  And thus, this is one of the concepts most prevalent in the plots of several anime series: the quest for the famed and fabled utopia.

The anime that first comes into my mind when I hear the words ‘utopia’ and ‘anime’ in a single sentence is Deathnote.  Yagami Light, the main character, was someone who was disillusioned with how horrible the world has become, with its ever increasing crime rates and the ever worsening condition of the society.  But when he got hold of a deathnote, a notebook which he could use to kill anyone he wants to as long as he knows the person’s name and face, he started using this to create his own world a utopia of sorts based in his own definition.  He wanted to create a world wherein the good citizens would be free to roam.  He theorized that society would be perfect as long if you remove the bad eggs.  However, his method of ‘cleansing’ the world was through oppression.  And instead of creating a utopia, he would be creating a dystopia, where the main oppressor would be him and all people would bow down to him as their ‘god’.  Of course, this kind of thinking would never go unpunished.  A dystopia, wherein people live in total oppression, would be even worse than a world that could never be a utopia.  And it is because of this that L, the world’s top detective, decides to counter Light’s actions.  Thus begins the elusive game of cat and mouse.

A similar situation wherein a character wants to create a utopia would be in the anime, Naruto.  It has recently been revealed in the manga that the Akatsuki’s aim is to pit the nations against each other and to make the nations dependent on them and their weapons (the Jinchuuriki), enabling the Akatsuki to ultimately take control of the world.  Upon further delving into the background of the Akatsuki Leader, Pein from Naruto Shippuden, we find out that he has had traumatizing experiences as a child because of the war that broke out in his country.  And to end all wars, he decides to wreak havoc on all the other countries, causing war, in order to make them feel the pain that he felt.  He thinks that by making people feel the pain, he can compel them to feel disgusted at all forms of war, thereby bringing peace.  It’s a lovely concept except that it’s weak and likely to fail.

In fact, it’s an irony that villains are usually the ones who are trying to create a utopia, only to cause more harm in their attempt to bring perfection.  As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.  And I guess this is what makes those characters so appealing – their desire for utopia is a desire that all of us share.  And yet, most of us are content to just sit back and dismiss it as impossible.  These characters, however, represent those who aren’t afraid to try.  Against all odds, they strived for their goal, misled as they were.

Uzumaki Naruto is the main protagonist of the anime series called Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto, a renowned Mangaka (Japanese for Comic Artist). Naruto is shown to have blue eyes and blond spiky hair. In part 1, he wears a loud orange jacket and some equally loud orange trousers, blue ninja sandals, and a blue hitai-ate or a forehead protector bearing the symbol of the hidden leaf. The insignia he bears is at of a whirlpool. In part 2, Naruto’s outfit is basically the same, consisting of trousers and a jacket, but this time its colors are black and orange.
Naruto’s Story
During the date of Naruto’s birth, October 10, the nine-tailed demon fox was ravaging Konohakagure, otherwise known as the village of the hidden leaf. The fourth Hokage, who was the leader and defender of the village, gave his life to seal the demon fox inside Naruto’s body. His dying wish was that the village would treat the boy as a hero for having to carry the burden of the fox. However, the people of Konoha did not heed the Yondaime’s request, instead treating Naruto with disdain and scorn. Their hatred was carried over to the younger generation, so practically the whole village hated him for no reason. Naruto did not understand this hatred, however, and was bewildered at why the adults hated him and why

his peers did not want to play with him. It was only when he was 12 years old that the reason why the people hated him was revealed to him. However, this knowledge did not lead him to hate the villagers and their misplaced odium. Instead, it only made Naruto more determined to gain the recognition of the villagers by becoming a Hokage himself.
Naruto’s Personality
At the start of the series in Naruto Episode, Naruto is depicted as a troublemaker. He was always doing lude jutsus or ‘ninja skills’ like the ‘Oiroke no Jutsu’ which allowed him to transform into a naked female version of himself, effectively stunning his superiors including his teacher, Iruka, and the third Hokage, who resumed his post when the fourth died. He also gets the lowest marks in the Ninja Academy, making him a subject of his classmates’ mockery. He is rude and crass and incredibly loud. He laughs easily and is almost always smiling. However, this is only a façade. Deep inside, Naruto harbors deep feelings, hiding the ill ones behind his smiles and laughs so that nobody will have to worry about him or

see his vulnerability. Naruto is also hardworking and persevering. He never gives up, no matter how

impossible his goal may seem. And most of the time, he succeeds, if only through determination, sheer strength (sometimes lent to him by the demon fox) and his incredible luck.
Naruto’s as a character
Beyond luck, his preserverance has really made Naruto the main character in Naruto as one of the best characters to look at. Along with his guts, this side of Naruto’s character is definitely something the author stress in a great length on an effort to depict its need in today’s society.

Animated characters such as Naruto are becoming popular in the form of wallpapers. Naruto wallpapers are being appreciated due to the advancement in computer technology. Naruto wallpaper can now be available with high quality picture effect. Beside Naruto wallpapers, you can also get Naruto screen savers through certain websites.

There is a green color shading effect given around Naruto and the background of this Naruto wallpaper consists of white netting covering the whole wallpaper. I have also seen another Naruto based wallpaper which relates to the organization of Akatsuki. This Naruto wallpaper has a nice background which creates an air of mystery. This wallpaper consists of images of various members of Akasuki and the quality of the image is excellent. There is yet another type of Naruto wallpaper which has Uchiha Sasuke in it. It looks cute. The image has a backdrop of a house with a blooming tree in it. A good colouring effect has been given to this Naruto wallpaper of Uchiha Sasuke.

The two extreme team consists of Naruto and Sakura. A good effect has been given towards both the sides. The left side indicates that they are from Konoha, the so called leaf village. The right side of the picture has a brown like color effect.

I would like to conclude this review based article by stating about yet another Naruto wall paper of Yamanaka Ino. She is been shown as if she is pulling her eye and sticking her tongue out. This wallpaper has a color image of Yamanaka Ino, with a blue ticker in the centre. The photograph consists of black and white color at the top and a button of Naruta wallpaper.

The great Greek and Roman philosophers loved to debate back then, and the internet junkies love to debate today. It’s a human impulse – to debate. Saying “it’s a matter of opinion” doesn’t help because there always has to be someone who’s right and someone who’s wrong. People can debate for the silliest things and for years and years, the debate can drag on without having a clear winner. But that’s just the way things are. And you can’t deny it, debates are really are fun and we all love it.

The start of the new millennium signaled the start of two of the greatest Shounen anime series since

Dragon Ball Z – Naruto and Bleach. Both anime series have accumulated millions of fans worldwide and, as expected, to these fans, saying that both anime series are good and both worth watching is just not enough. They have to know which is better.

So,Rreally, Which is Better – Naruto or Bleach?

Naruto and Bleach have similar main characters. They’re about adolescent boys who are both special, both somewhat dense but kind-hearted and gutsy, both insanely strong and can go against the strongest enemies, and both have a tendency to trash talk but still be able to give inspiring speeches. But while the main characters are similar, the plots are different. While Naruto is about ninjas, Bleach is more like an anime version of Ghost Busters. Both have their own appeal to fans. And really, it’s a matter of opinion whether the fan likes ninjas or anything related to the afterlife better.

Similarities and Differences

The execution of these series’ storylines also differs. Naruto spends more time developing its story and its characters than Bleach does. And while the flashbacks in Naruto can get a bit dragging for some people, especially the ones who watch for the fight scenes alone, they do leave us with more three dimensional characters and a more detailed storyline. When things happen, you know why they do because there’s a background. The progression of the story is logical. Bleach, on the other hand, is one big mash of plot twists that, though entertaining, really are just good for the shock factor.

Humor-wise, both are great. Both can have you clutching your stomach and rolling on the floor in insane laughter. However, Naruto’s humor is somewhat slapstick sometimes as compared to Bleach’s more refined and natural humor. But then, you have to consider that the characters in Naruto are mostly kids and are younger than the characters in Bleach (not considering Shippuden).

The fight scenes in Naruto are way more interesting because it dabbles more in strategy rather than just the simple clashing of swords. However, because there’s much strategy involved in Naruto’s fight scenes, you also get to hear a lot of long and winding explanations in between fights and this is something that the some fans who are in for the action dislike. Bleach’s fight scenes are also great and action-packed but are rather repetitive.

One edge that Bleach does have over Naruto is that its characters get a change of wardrobe every now and then. In Naruto, we see the same costume each and every day. It’s as if the characters have closets- full of the same clothes.

But overall, I’d say that Naruto wins over Bleach because Naruto is much more emotionally engaging. The Naruto episodes can evoke so much emotion in you that you’ll cry with the characters, laugh with them, and even go so much as to really love or really hate some of the characters. Bleach sort of had something similar in the beginning but the storyline started to deteriorate and you start to lose touch with connecting to the characters. With Naruto even with Naruto Shippuden you’re still able to ‘feel’, connect and understand the positions for the characters, and for me, that’s what makes a good anime. Not to mention that the storyline just gets better through each episode as you watch Naruto!

The identity of Narutoâ??s father has been the subject of speculation for Naruto fans for a long time. There have been heated debates â?? even full-blown internet flaming wars â?? about the mystery that is Narutoâ??s father.

The Fourth Hokage Theory

Most people believed that Narutoâ??s father was the Yondaime or the Fourth Hokage. The resemblance between the Yondaime and Naruto is striking â?? they both have blue eyes and yellow hair and they even have the same smile. And since Naruto is an orphan and the fourth died fighting with the Kyuubi â?? it all made sense.

Some people even went so far as to believe that the Yondaime, though it was clearly stated that he died fighting the Kyuubi, somehow survived and lived on to become the Akatsuki leader. They believed that everything â?? from the sealing of the Kyuubi inside Naruto until the hunting of the Jinchuuruki by the Akatsuki â?? was all part of an elaborate plot concocted by the genius mind of the Fourth Hokage. They believed that what was shown about the Yondaime was just a hoax, he was actually evil despite the fact that all the people of Konoha loved him and that he was willing to die for them.

However, there were many people who disagreed with these believers of â??Yondaime is Narutoâ??s father theoryâ?? because they couldnâ??t understand why a father would seal something like the Kyuubi inside his own son. Some believed that it would just be â??too obviousâ?? and that Kishimoto canâ??t possibly write something so obvious â?? there has to be a twist. Some believed that the Yondaime was Narutoâ??s uncle, or brother, or some other distant relative â?? just not his father.

There were even people who believed that the Akatsuki leader (who they believed was not Yondaime) was actually Narutoâ??s father. And, for some reason, he was hunting his own son. This theory was reinforced by the fact that the Akatsuki Leaderâ??s shadow looked somewhat like he had the same hair as Naruto. And when the Akatsukiâ??s leaders face was revealed to have a striking resemblance to Naruto too, this theory gathered more supporters. And they believed that a Star Wars scene with the Akatsuki Leader saying â??Naruto, I am your fatherâ? was not such a far off possibility.

There were other theories â?? some so farfetched and random that youâ??d have to wonder what the fans smoked in order to come up with it. But all those theories were dispelled once Chapter 367 of the manga came.

The Revelation

Chapter 367 is a perfect example of how the simplest answers are almost always the right ones. It turned out that the blatant was actually true and the Fourth Hokage really is Narutoâ??s father. Jiraiya and Tsunade confirmed it all and even revealed the Yondaimeâ??s name to be Namikaze Minato.

But if the fourth is Narutoâ??s father, then why is his name Uzumaki Naruto and not Namikaze Naruto? Where does the Uzumaki come from? It turns out that, for some reason, Naruto got his motherâ??s surname instead of his fatherâ??s. And itâ??s not really heartless for Minato to seal Kyuubi inside Naruto since it was, after all, his dying wish that Naruto be treated as a hero for having to contend with having a monster inside him. He died believing that the villagers would love Naruto, he had no idea that they would do the opposite. This chapter has yet to be made into a Naruto episodes, but it should be revealed in Naruto Shippuden pretty soon.

One of the favorite topics of debate for Naruto fans is the matter of who the stronger one is; Naruto or Sasuke. Now, as you may know, Naruto and Sasuke are rivals. Naruto is the orphan boy who has never had a family and Sasuke is the orphan boy who saw his whole family murdered by none other than his own brother. Naruto was shunned and looked down upon by the villagers because he was the vessel for the Kyuubi, the monster that wreaked havoc upon Konoha 12 years prior. All Naruto wants is for people to acknowledge him. Sasuke, on the other hand, belongs to the Uchiha clan, the strongest and most prestigious clan in Konoha.

Naruto would do anything to have what Sasuke so haphazardly throws away; the respect of the villagers and the love of Haruno Sakura. Sasuke is everything that Naruto is not; he is handsome, well respected, and intelligent to the point of being a genius, powerful without even lifting a finger. Sasuke is the very image of perfection. But unlike Naruto, Sasuke is cold, aloof, and uncaring. He is arrogant and too obsessed with the past and the tattered aristocracy of his dead clan. He is single minded, so driven by the thought of revenge that he takes for granted everything he has left. And that is what Naruto cannot accept. Naruto cannot understand why Sasuke cannot see what he has right in front of him. Naruto cannot understand why Sasuke is never contented. As the series progresses, Naruto becomes stronger and he starts catching up. And this is what Sasuke cannot accept. He cannot understand why someone like Naruto who was dull and did not have a kekkei genkai could be so strong. He cannot understand why Itachi would be more interested in Naruto rather than him. Of course, Sasuke did not know about the Kyuubi back then.

And so they have a rivalry and it’s the age old debate between which would win: power and attitude or power and intelligence.

Naruto

Of course, power and attitude refers to Naruto. Naruto is pure determination. He might not be the brightest pea in the pod, but he sure is the most persevering. What he lacks in intelligence, he more than makes up for in raw power. Of course, Naruto owes his brawn to the Kyuubi who lends him a huge amount of chakra and stamina and this is a huge advantage in fights.

Sasuke

Sasuke, on the other hand is power and intelligence. He wields the Sharingan; the strongest doujutsu in Konoha. He is fast and powerful. And though he might not have as much stamina as Naruto does, he makes up for it with his ingenious strategies and techniques. Like Naruto, Sasuke is determined. But his determination is directed at all the wrong things.

Who is stronger?

So, in the end, who is stronger? Naruto who has his raw strength or Sasuke who has ingenious strategies? Perhaps the answer could be found if they fought. And fight they did. In the valley of the end, Naruto and Sasuke had a definitive fight. It was a grueling fight. They both had equal power ups, Naruto with his Kyuubi stage 2 and Sasuke with his Curse Seal 2. It was an extremely close fight but in the end, it was Sasuke who won. However, let’s not forget that Naruto only had a few tails out then from the Kyuubi and he’s still got up to 9 tails to go in terms of just Kyuubi’s side of power. Besides powers from Kyuubi, Naruto has been constantly been training very viciously in the Naruto Shippuden series and now in Kakashi’s own words “surpass” Akatsuki members by himself. Although Sasuke is more powerful then Naruto, in Shippuden if they were to have a fight today it’s tough to say that Sasuke would even have a chance to win the fight while on the other hand we would expect Naruto to win, bue only by a small margin.
