Naruto is a show about a young boy who wants to become a ninja. he is a member of the hidden leaf village and attends an academy that trains students into being ninja when they leave. Naruto was never that good at any of the different Jutsu (Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu) and so everyone would pick on him. outside of the academy nobody ever respected him o treated like a art of the community because of an incident that happened at his birth. One of the tailed beasts, who are said to be the strongest beings in the world( In this case it was Kurama, the most powerful of the tailed beasts) had attacked the village and killed many of the ninja. this was soon stopped as the the Hokage( leader of the village) and Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze stepped in to fight the beast, Kurama was too powerful for Minato and ended up killing him. fortunately just before he died, Minato minds to seal Kurama away inside the body of Naruto as a new born child. Everyone one n the village was ordered to keep this a secret from everyone who was born int he same generation as Naruto and anyone younger because they didn't want him to be bullied or feared because of the power hidden in his body.
Naruto is a 2D animation that revolves around the life of Naruto Uzumaki. It also Follows the follows his comrades form team 7 (the team that the academy assigned him to) which included this love interest, Sakura Haruno, his rival/best friend, Sasuke Uchiha and their team captain Kakashi Hatake. the language spoken is originally Japanese, thee are other versions though such as subbed(Japanese speech with English subtitles)or dubbed (English speech). there are also different visual codes such as symbols for different villages, this can be seen on the headbands of shinobi from that village, as well as this, the ninja tend to where a specific clothing depending on their village.the music is always great for Naruto, its always very dramatic and uptempo for for big fights, and quite western for scenes when there is a possible fight about to happen. The opening song changes in every new story arc and sometimes more than once depending on the length of the arc. The show also has a pattern where the best ninja in the village all came from groups that where very similar. with the trend of the mature, serious and very skilled guy who just wants power, the playful joker who just wants to be recognized as a serious shinobi (and has a crush on the girl in the group), and finally girl, with inhuman strength and very high healing skills (and has a crush on the more serious guy).
Target Audience - The target audience is around 12 years and older for the first series of Naruto but when it goes into season 2, Naruto Shippuden, it seems it like its for a slightly older audience as there is a lot more violence and more blood. i would say it is definitely more targeted towards a male audience as most of the characters are male and there are a lot of action scenes which i think appeal to males more than females.
I think the reason most people watch this show is because there are a lot of moments that are very funny, but then there are is an equal amount of serious moments that make the show one of the biggest cartoon to have ever existed along with 'One Piece', 'bleach' and 'Dragon Ball Z'. One of the main parts of the show that people enjoy is the character development and watching how the main character go from being a class clown type character who would always joke around pull pranks on people to try and get attention, to a much more mature character who saves the entire village from some of the greatest foes they've ever come across.
