My Current Obsession.

S and C have been watching the anime off and on for a couple of years. Glancing at it over their shoulders every once in a while never gave me a true appreciation for the depth of it's characters nor the breadth of it's story. It really just looked like another light weight anime with a boastful annoying main character.

Since the first several seasons of Naruto are on Netflix, I decided to try watching it. Mostly this decision came about as H and I listened to an incomprehensible conversation S and C were having in front of us in the kitchen one night. They were cheerfully and energetically discussing some aspects of the show and as far as H and I were converned they might as well have been speaking a foreign language.

As it turns out, I really loved the show. The main character wasn't as two dimensional as I thought. He also had a compelling backstory I hadn't grasped from only peeking in every once in a while. After talking with someone at our Rec Center after karate about Naruto, I decided to check out some of the manga. I loved it even more than the anime. Now I have something new to spend some of my frivolous money on.
