It has lots of things that were cut from the series that ran on cable. Without taking out the things that we are interested in seeing. Plus there are 12 episodes in this volume spanned over 3 disks and a collectible book for one of the episodes. Nice pricing, shipping and item received. Its hard not to be into or get the series. If you aren't already. A purchase of this or any other Naruto Uncut boxed set will have them thanking you for buying it.

It's the third Naruto box-set. Buy it. Trust me, unless you have a perfect memory, by the time the Naruto series is finished (200+ episodes and counting) you'll have watched it many times to review the 'early days' of the series.

I am satisfied. My son is a HUGE Naruto fan and he enjoyed the extra footage not shown in the tv version. It added more insight into the characters and also added to the authentic Japanese animation which is always unique and impressive.I look forward to buying him the entire collection.

If you've never seen Naruto before--DO NOT START HERE....GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND START THERE....NOW....SERIOUSLY.
All right, now that that's out of the way, let's move on. This boxed set spends basically the whole time in the forrest of death. Let me tell you, Naruto's team gets the worst of it, because the bad guy is after them--of course--. Sasuke has the curse mark put on him, bad guy(Orochimaru) puts another seal on Naruto's nine-tailed fox so Naruto can no longer access it's chakra while fighting, and we finally see Sakura doing some real fighting. I love the fact that all nine rookies make it through the second part of the exam. I'm sitting there going, "YES! You just got your butts kicked by the rookies!" This set ends in the middle of the preliminary exams, which they are having because too many people passed the second part. Of course, it ends right in the middle of Sasuke's battle. (Grumble to yourself and go get the next boxed set. Better yet, just get 4 when you get this one.)
The first two boxes were very interesting, you know that- unless you should be heeding my warning above about not starting here-but this is where things really start heating up. And it just gets better from here-I know because I've seen about 100-103 episodes(unfortunately that is all that has aired here in the U.S. -sad face-, if you live in Japan, you might have seen more like 250 or so -jealous face-)
As I have said in, at least most, of my other reviews, buy these sets on sale. See that number of aired episodes in Japan up there. 250. Average of 13 episodes in each box. 250 divided 13??? Round it up to 20 boxed sets. And from what I have read about where that last episodes ends, there will be more. If you pay 50 bucks for each boxed set, you are CRAZY. or rich, but still...crazy. Amazon has pretty good sales around labor day weekend. I saved around 90.00 dollars by buying the first five boxes on labor day weekend (okay, I only pre-ordered the fifth cause it wasn't out yet). Save yourself some money. If they keep on releasing them as they have been, a new boxed set will be coming out about every three months.

This is the beginning of the Chunin Exam Story arc. One of the best anime series I've seen.
