10 Animes You Must Watch Before You Die

8. Naruto

Naruto 3 Aside from Dragon Ball Z and Attack On Titan (more on that later), no show has translated over to western audiences quite as well as Naruto. It's one of those shows that, when it's airing, with clog up for Facebook/Twitter feed with fans reacting to the latest development. And while it might not make sense at first glance - what do people mean when they make reference to a Hokage or how awesome Sakura Uchiha is? - it's well worth finding out. Without spoiling too much - because it really is worth a watch without knowing too much - you follow the exploits of a young ninja called Naruto Uzumaki on the numerous missions he and his comrades go on. With 220-plus episodes of Naruto and 339 and counting episodes of its sequel show, it's hard to even scratch the surface of this action-packed ninja thriller.
