General & Others What arc did you start watching/reading Naruto at?

[claus1]

I'm an old school Naruto fan, I started with Naruto when I got Naruto Ultimate Ninja. Then I started watching the english anime at the Gaara arc.

Then, I learned there were episodes (in 10 parts) on YouTube. They were at like episode 180, but for canon arcs, I started when the Sasuke Retrieval arc ended.

Once I got sick of waiting for the Shippuden anime to come out, I started reading the manga which was like in the middle of the Gaara arc.

How about you guys?

Anime early land of waves arc, when Kakashi was in the water prison

I picked up the manga around the Jiraiya vs Pain fight, I did read Kakashi Gaiden before that but I wasn’t comfortable with the manga format yet

I started to follow the anime weekly back on the days of that filler arc with the crystal kekkei genkai girl.

Around 2006-2007, on Cartoon Network it was a "new episode" dubbed Naruto vs Sasuke fight at Final Valley.
It blew my little kiddy mind. It also used to air reruns at 9pm every night so I watched the series like that for a while.

Bought every game I could on my GBA, then NDS, had posters all over my wall, bought the manga. ETA ETA.
It was a true obsession. Watched it religiously when I found it online.

I started watching back when it first aired in Cartoon Network.
