Not counting shows like Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh, I started watching Naruto in middle school because when I changed schools the only kids that would be my friends were the weebs. After a year or so of that though, I stopped watching and didn't start again until Junior year of highschool with FMA. I started watching because my math teacher was talking about the show with some other students after class, and I wanted to get on his good side. After that, I never stopped.
