What Does the Word Naruto Mean?
Posted by cleansearching in Cartoon on February 23, 2010 | no responses
As enthusiast of the animation Naruto, we’ve all heard about the word Naruto, but do you know what Naruto truly means? The word Naruto is actually from a type of Japanese fish cake. The specific fish cake that Naruto is with is often seen with pink surroundings and designs that is seen as a simple spiral form.
Believe it or not, it is often eaten alongside with soups and noodles. Yes, this will include the ramen that Naruto from the animation that he enjoys. If you examine the fishcake carefully, you would also notice that the head protector that Naruto wears looks very much the same as the food Naruto itself. So Kanoha is really revolving around the food Naruto and it’s kinda interesting to see that these little facts actually ties in together to the centric part of the storyline somewhat.
Besides Naruto being a traditional Japanese dish as fish cakes, Naruto is also an actual city in Japan located in Tokushima a bit leaning towards the southern part of Japan. The city itself is quite small with a population of only 63,784 currently shown on their city’s official website. The city of Naruto was founded in the March of 1947 so the city itself is still relatively new. One of the most interesting facts about the city is that it contains the first two of the 88 Shikoku Pilgrimage buddhist temples. Now what makes this fact stands out is the looks of the people from the temple and what they wear.
Yes, those traditional Buddhist clothings that pilgrims wear are closely resembled to the ones that the Hokage’s in Naruto animation wear starting from how they dress all the way to their hats. So the next time t you watch Naruto episodes again, you’ll know exactly where it’s origin as well as where little things ties up together.

Is the Anime Naruto Suitable for Kids?
Posted by cleansearching in Cartoon on February 22, 2010 | no responses
Growing up from the US, most kids have grown up with cartoons such as Bugs Bunny and Popeye which portrays the good overcoming evil as well as satires that pokes fun of political figures in a none threatening way. For kids, majority of the time these cartoons have provided a positive impact rather then negativity or problems.
With the recent months in the rising popularity of Japanese animation especially the series of Naruto Episode, many parents are now worried that it may pose as a negative influence for children. Not only does it portray a lot of problems shown within society, it also contains a lot of adult humor as well. Is this something that we should allow our children to be influenced with? Will this type of influence give children bad ideas about the society or their engagements with one another?
Before we further examine this topic, we have to first understand the background of the anime Naruto. The story revolves around Uzumaki Naruto, a kid that has an inner demon of a nine-tailed fox who has once destroyed many villages until a powerful kage or a leader of a village who sealed his inner demon away through a powerful jitsu or a mystical technique of a ninja. The demon is then locked away and the story of Naruto begins with the life and adventure that Naruto has to face. All the while knowing that the demon inside of Naruto may come out someday both from his friends and foes.
From the outer appearance and storyline, Naruto doesn’t seem harmful for children nor is the general storyline provides any hint of negativity in anyway. However, with different Naruto Episode there has subtle hints of sexuality. For one, Naruto suddenly changes into a woman wearing a bikini from a man in ways through this Episode Naruto seduced his teacher. In another Naruto Episode, various characters posses characteristic of a woman although by nature they are being presented as man.
For parents, these are major signs of red flags that tells parents that they are not suitable for children due to inappropriate content. I however on the other hand dare to say that it’s actually okay for children to be exposed for these type of influences. Children nowadays are exposed with sex, violence, and crime whether it is from television or in the public area although some may minimize such influences. Whether you believe it or not, children pick things up rather quickly from adults. Instead of prohibiting negative influences, I believe parents should really educate kids at an early age the right and wrong and lead by example which is something that is lacking at large in causing a lot of division amongst the family and the society as a whole.
Even if we have successfully screened out the popular anime Naruto from our children in an effort to protect our children, is this eliminating the heart of the problem? I dare to say no and that we really need to examine ourselves in our communications with our kids in an educational way in light to talk about such events and things. Animations such as Naruto will only increase in this age of globalization and we need to learn how to cope with it rather then excusing ourselves from facing the true reality of this world. With proper education and support, I believe we can still enjoy anime the same way that we had enjoyed various cartoons in a positive manner with our children.

Posted by cleansearching in Cartoon on February 3, 2010 | no responses
I have a father. his name is James. he gave me a car. I am very pleased with it, because I do not have a car. My dad gave me the car because he wanted to buy a new car. car given to me good, but there is a problem on the outside and interior appearance. I want to fix it to make it look nicer. I think I have to modify it, because I feel less comfortable driving my car with this condition.
First, I want to change the exterior of my car, because many people will see it. then I’ll change the interior. especially dash kit to replace the old with the new dash kit. I want to replace it with wood dash kit. other than that I also want to replace the drive with a new handle. I also want to add an audio sound to my car. so my car will look young and luxurious. However, I do not know how to modify. I asked for help from my friends to find a good place to modify my car. my friend suggested me to go to a car accessories store.
Sunday morning, I and my friends went to a car accessories shop. I want to buy accessories that I want. then I changed the dash of my old kit with new dash kit. I replaced it with a wood dash kit. my car looks more elegant with the new dash kit and audio sound. I also changed the color of my car. I change my car color blue. so my car looks elegant, but still young. after I modify my car I feel more confident to drive it. when I brought home my car to show to my father. he was very surprised to see him. he wanted to swap cars with new cars. but I do not allow it. You can also beautify your car to modify it.

Which Girl Would Naruto End Up With?
Posted by cleansearching in Cartoon on January 23, 2010 | no responses
It’s always amazing to see how much people can get riled up over Naruto’s love life. Indeed, Naruto’s love life is the subject of many debates and flame wars in the internet. Either way, we can’t deny the fact that the whole ‘romance’ aspect of the anime makes it more interesting. And, since Naruto’s the main character he has to end up with someone, right?
There are two girls in the series who posses the possibility of ending up with Naruto. Unless, the author Kishimoto throws in a new female character onto the mix.
Haruno Sakura
Sakura is and has always been Naruto’s crush, even from the beginning of the series. Although she is Naruto’s teammate but she wasn’t not necessarily his friend at the beginning of team Kakashi. In fact, Sakura displayed a lot of hostility towards Naruto in the beginning of the series, owing perhaps to Naruto’s reputation as the academy’s ‘deadlast’. However, she warms up to him as the series progresses and starts to care for him as a friend. Sure, if you look at it this way, these two seem like they’re headed for the holy matrimony. Naruto’s the main male character and Sakura’s the main female character and they would probably end up together, right? Wrong. Things aren’t that simple.
Ir’a given fact that Naruto has a crush on Sakura, but Sakura is in love with Sasuke instead; Naruto’s direct rival. He is everything he is not since start. As a genius, Sasuke is also good looking, and powerful without even trying. Sasuke does not blatantly return her affections but there are little clues in the series where you’ll see that these two; Sakura and Sasuke definitely have something together. In fact, Sakura and Sasuke’s relationship is one of the most romantically developed in the anime what with the hug in the forest of death where it is only through Sakura’s hug that Sasuke, possessed by the cursed seal, comes to his senses. There’s also Sasuke’s acknowledgement that Sakura is one of his ‘precious persons’. And then there’s this huge matter of Sakura’s confession of love, true ‘I’ll-sacrifice-everything-for-you’ love. And though Sasuke knocked her out, he does leave her with a thank you which is enigmatic and poignant.
Until now, even with Sasuke’s defection, he is still the biggest hindrance to any possibility of Naruto and Sakura getting together since Sakura obviously still loves Sasuke and there are always these tiny clues that he might love her back. All it takes for them to get together is for Sasuke to finish with his goals and have time to ‘restore his clan’.
And though Sakura is warming up to Naruto, it mostly seems like friendship and not ‘romance’. Sakura loves Naruto but only as a friend it seems like moving forth even at Naruto Shippuden. All of Naruto’s advances seems to fail as Sakura rejected him softly without much emotion.
Hyuuga Hinata
Then there’s Hinata. Hinata is a shy girl who, unlike all the other academy girls, had a crush on Naruto since the very beginning. She never looked down on Naruto although she is way smarter then Naruto. On the contrary, the crush she has on Naruto is so huge that she faints whenever she’s on a close proximity to Naruto.
Unbeknownst to Naruto, she is one of the first people who have ever acknowledged him besides Sasuke. Hinata admires him for his courage, strength, determination, and confidence. These are qualities completely opposite of her that she lacks greatly of. Naruto inspires her to be more than she is and it always pushes Hinata to be a better person
Naruto and Hinata have their moments. The most important one is probably the ‘blood oath’. And all throughout the anime, Kishimoto inserts fluffy Naruhina scenes, especially in Shippuden. In my opinion, all it takes for them to get together is a confession of some sort such as Hinata finally gathering enough courage (which fits well with her theme) to walk up to Naruto and tell him she loves him.
We’ll have to watch Naruto to see what happens essentially but my verdict would be that Naruto will probably end up with Hinata and Sasuke will end up with Sakura.

These days there are all kinds of wallpapers that are available over the internet and they can be easily downloaded on to your computer. Desktop wallpapers are available online with variety of designs or photos and many of them are free of cost. Normally, cartoons remind you of your childhood days. There are various categories of cartoon related wallpapers that one can choose according to his or her liking. For example: Animals category will include adorable and cuddly images of dogs or cats playing with one another or they may be playing alone. Also, an animated category can include works of computer or the works of real life producing animated characters such as Naruto.
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 are image gallery of Naruto wallpapers available and they can be freely downloaded from the website. Some of the Naruto character wallpapers include: Akamaru, Akatsuki, Ansuma, Haku, Iruka, Itachi, Naruto, Neji, Obito, Rock Lee, Sai, Sakura, Sasori, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Shino, Shodai Hokage, Tobi, Zabuza and Zetsu.
These are various types of Naruto wallpapers that are available on the websites. I came across a Naruto wallpaper of Uzumaki Naruto who is pictured with his top unzipped. 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. I have also seen another type of Naruto wallpaper which is about Sai. This character named “Sai” is seen in a lonely mood and appears to be torn between two extremes. 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.

Does the Animation Naruto Contain Life Lessons Beyond Entertainment?
Posted by cleansearching in Cartoon on December 21, 2009 | no responses
There is no doubt that Naruto is one of the biggest anime that hit the US market today, but can Naruto be educational? From its origin from a more Eastern background, animation in general has come a long way since its first inception. Starting back in the old days with the original dragon ball series where it was first created all the way to Naruto today, there have definitely been a lot of changes that have been taken place in the animation world.
The population of kids attracted to Naruto is growing by the day and I believe there is a clear reason why it is the most popular anime or cartoon here in the US today besides its artistic values in comparison with numerous cartoons that are shown in our television screen on a day to day basis. Let’s take a look our cartoon Batman for example. The plot or a single episode usually involves with a villain shown in the story and causes trouble with a certain amount of people through their special techniques. However, their evil deeds are eventually squashed toward the end of the episode as Batman saves the day. In the cartoon itself, there’s nothing wrong with it. The good prevails over evil, and the single episode is ended with a happy ending.
What the problem with these cartoons however is that they are very interpersonal and kids and teens cannot relate themselves to them. Kids nowadays are more intrigued with interactions then ever before. This is shown through the popularity of the internet and social sites such as Myspace, Facebook, Blogger. They have grown tremendously due to its fundamental pitch to allow kids to relate and connect with each another.
What has made Naruto so powerful is as an anime is that they have developed their characters so well that their ability to relate to kids is tremendous. Similar to a soap opera, we are able to see each and every single character develop in their own way. We see that the animation characters often time interact with the kids through numerous contests and promotions related to interact with the kids. This type of close and very personalized interaction, you can think of it similar to the strategy that McDonald uses to make kids feel like at home. It is no wonder that kids love McDonalds and the same way goes with Naruto.
The adult humor aside, Naruto is also very educational in my opinion. The focal point of the animation itself remains between the fight of good and evil. However it becomes educational throughout various episodes when we are provided the background of various characters. For example when we examine the life of just the main character Naruto; not only is he a below average kid, he is always the underdog in terms of his studies beside the fact that he’s also unpopular with others. The crucial point that the animators have it a success is how Naruto reacts to these oppositions. He tries even harder! Similar in our society unlike the baby boomers who in majority have worked with the corporate world for many years and an overwhelmingly amount of them have pensions and benefits to assist them after retirement, the people from Generation X are faced with even greater challenges. Besides massive layoffs and work sent overseas, the problems just keep stacking up. Along with kids that grow up nowadays, the piles of stress have pushed them toward the edge in many ways. That’s why we see kids running into the malls and shooting others all the time in our news today.
Not only does Naruto try hard in his daily training to overcome others that are smarter or have talents, the greatest success that animators have by developing Naruto Episode is by depicting how normal he really is. It implies in many ways that hardships will always come in our way and hard work will always payoff in the end. This is something that is lacking in today’s society where the richer gets richer and the poorer gets poorer. Doesn’t matter if you’re poor or rich, one must always work hard to achieve success. Obviously a little bit of luck would always help too. This is one of the only small lessons that I’ve observed in the anime Naruto, if you haven’t watched Naruto yet, you should definitely eitherwatch Naruto by yourself or with others. Who knows, you might learn something from it as well!

Who’s Stronger Between Naruto and Sasuke?
Posted by cleansearching in Cartoon on August 8, 2009 | no responses
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.

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.

About Naruto, the Character
Posted by cleansearching in Cartoon on November 2, 2008 | no responses
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 **** 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 ***** 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.
