Is there anywhere to read this from the beginning for poor people who can't buy volumes? Because the place I found

http://www.mangapanda.com/93-1-32/naruto/chapter-1.html

jesus christ

furthermore, is the manga significantly better over watching the anime? I have Hulu and I'm already on episode 50 but idk if I should read the manga instead if I'm considering playing a character. (obviously i need to get further in the series before I do, but in general.)

I play from the manga solely because I hate living in filler hell. There's one stretch that goes on for 80+ episodes that is purely filler and it really sucks.

Saying that, I do flesh out a few little quirks with anime stuff because it's fun!

Sadly, I haven't found any other places to really read it from the beginning other than mangapanda. There are a few torrents out there if that's your thing though...

gdi, i was afraid of that. the naruto wiki doesn't even have a good episode guide like the one piece wiki does that clearly marks which arcs are filler (and can thus be skipped) and lays out exactly where specials/movies/OVAs go. i was pretty bummed to discover that. :(

i generally hate reading manga because i... guess i'm too stupid to follow the action very well? i'm trying anyway because holy shit, 80 episode filler arc....

i might try looking for those if this gets any worse. right now it isn't a big deal because i've already seen this part animated. thank you anon!! i don't know any narutos somehow so i have nobody to ask about this stuff. :(

and now i'm curious, who do you play?

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=350747 this should help big time.

And I play the main dumbass himself, hahah. :D

Thank you so much, anon!! This is going to be such a big help. At the rate I'm going, I'll be needing this really soon.

And I'm going off anon since... why not.

I am trying not to be sarcastic with this, but have you checked your local library?

Haha, yeah, I should have mentioned that. My local library is pretty bizarre and carries only random volumes of really obscure titles.

I could probably check at the Denver Public Library but it's so fricken hard to get down there and park without paying a bunch of money. I'll probably break down and do it anyway.

hmmm well you can check mangapark but I don't know if its a different team or not.

If your library has an interlibrary loan system, checking through the catalogue and putting the titles you want on hold to be picked up at your local library might be the easiest way to get your hands on them.

Most small, local libraries with unusual collections have reciprocal agreements with larger library systems in the area in order to let them offer more titles to their town than they can afford to carry themselves!

LOL yeah part one manga can be just as quality as the anime sometimes. You can try Mangastream but as a note- I haven't read a lot of early chapters here and Mangastream gets a little... liberal, with their translations (more so an issue "recently" I believe but worth being aware of). The pages are usually cleaned up really well though, nice for icons at least!

inc already beat me to it but a filler list helps! The pacing in part 2 goes to hell pretty much, I usually don't bother with the anime myself aside from watching character relevant episodes/arcs but I still wouldn't say it's bad! Filler pads out canon events pretty decently most of the time and definitely adds more to characters who don't get a lot of panel time in the manga. WHY NOT BOTH.

It's definitely a lot easier to follow fights in the anime though, I have a hard time sorting out pages of action lines too haha

(also what a great character you play)

Thank you! I'll check Mangastream out. There's gotta be a line between leaving a ton of words in Japanese with irritating translator's notes (keikaku means plan) and being too liberal, haha. (On the whole I don't mind liberal translations too much, though.) Somehow I've already gotten myself reading and watching.

God knows I watched all the One Piece filler, but it might be something I skip for now and go back and watch later in this case.

GOOD I'm glad I'm not alone... right now I'm still reading stuff I've already watched animated and I'm following it fine but I'm getting the feeling I'll be more confused when I get ahead with the manga (if that ever happens, idk).

(ditto kakashi!)

Mangapanda does better with translations later on (though they have left out entire speech bubbles before and some things are still wtf worthy) but I think Mangastream is pretty hilarious with the decisions they make sometimes even if they're not 100% correct. When you're caught up it's not so bad checking both sites once a week but just starting out sticking with one has got to be easier haha.

Pick and choose the filler, even some episodes during filler hell weren't completely terrible, even if only for the comedic nonsense factor. Just don't sit through 100 some episodes of it in a row no one deserves that.
