I'm a fan of Naruto, both the Manga and the Anime, although I track the manga closer than I do the anime. I watch the anime both in english and japanese w/ subtitles. I'm really liking Naruto right now, because he's really started to mature a lot compared to how he used to be. He's actually managed to surpass Jiraiya with his ability to go into sage mode on his own, and even has come up with a jutsu to either extend sage mode, or enter it quickly with the summoning scrolls. Also, Naruto has finally earned the respect of the village he's always wanted. After defeating Pain, he had his 'homecoming' experience similiar to the one that Gaara had gotten upon his return to the Sand Village. Naruto's recent escape from Yamato is probably the most ninja like thing he's ever done. Escaping an ANBU black ops member would be no easy task for anyone, especially someone who is technically a Genin in official rank.
Naruto is definitely well beyond Genin level in power, and his skill level is definitely at Chunin level or above. He's been growing at an accelerated rate more recently. I still think he needs to demonstrate a larger skill set than he has to date, although that is much bigger than when he started. Even so, to truly reach Hokage level, he really can't just rely on his super levels of chakra, from the Kyuubi or from Sage mode either.
I like other manga's and anime too. I also read Bleach, 'History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi', and Asu no Yoichi. Those are still currently written mangas, but I like other older mangas and animes too. Dragonball of course is a favorite, as well as Full Metal Alchemist. I've tried to keep up with the remake of the FMA Anime, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
