I'm not entirely sure about the legality of downloading television episodes that haven't been released to DVD yet. Could anyone clarify on this point?

That point aside, I'd personally recommend against watching Naruto (I haven't watched any episodes of One Piece, but I couldn't get interested in the manga) as the pace is painfully slow. The Japanese series was interesting for the first fifty or so episodes, but watching the English-dubbed version makes me nauseous. If you're interested in Naruto, pick up the manga instead.

For anime, I'd recommend visiting AnimeSuki and watching for new series. 'Tis the time of year when new series debut in Japan. My wife and I will be watching Mai Otome, the "sequel" to Mai HiME, together. I've downloaded the first episodes of Black Cat and Cluster Edge, but haven't had time to watch them yet.

And if you're a fan of Full Metal Panic, be sure to check out Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. I've watched the first ten episodes and it's excellent so far. It's a tad darker than I expected, but I'm hypnotized by how the writers are developing the characters of Sousuke and Chidori.

Again, these are just suggestions. If you're intent on watching Naruto, I wish you well, but be prepared for an agonizingly slow pace, severe lack of development in main characters (especially Sakura), and the worst English voice acting since Samurai Champloo. (The Japanese voice acting, of course, is excellent.) The manga, on the other hand, is rather spiff. I recently read issue 277 of the manga and am very much enjoying the current story arc. (It took over 250 issues, but Sakura finally does something other than get knocked unconscious or sadly whimper, "Sasuke!") With the exception of a few episodes (episode 133 being the most notable), the anime falls short of the manga.

EDIT: The licensing, dubbing/butchering, and broadcasting of Naruto further proves that American corporations are concerned only with profit margins and merchandising. This is only the latest in a long string of decisions to ignore the truly innovative and groundbreaking series. There. I said it. (Again.)

lol ive read as many naruto mangas ive been able to find. so yeah............... one piece i like just becuase of the theme
 
I don't feel guilty downloading already-broadcast programs that are on network TV (ABC, NBC, etc.) since:

a. These channels are also put over the air (meaning I can essentially pick them up for free)
b. I can record a program onto my cable box if wanted, so I do have another copy anyway.
c. I'm not selling that show to someone else.

I would feel guilty downloading programs from channels I don't already pay for.
 
uhhhh...... i left off where sakura was defending the uncoucois idiots and her rival steps in to help? its like 7?

Eh? You mean Volume 7?

Do you read scanlations (manga scanned and translated by fans) or retail manga?
 
i go to barnes n noble, sit and read then leave lol. i think its volume 7, im not really sure havent read for a while
 
go here and register (for free) to get the manga. http://www.narutofan.com/index.php

go here to get episodes 91-154 Link removed. Downloading fansubbed episodes of a series licensed in the US is, at best, a legal gray area.
