As the school season begins, I find myself attending
various orientation sessions, etc. with the kids.
Thus, sometimes my news is not so new...

Anyways, Dan - my 15 yr old - brought home a friend's Japanese DVD of Naruto (spelling?) anime. We've
been reading the manga (comics) now for a few months.

Other than some objection I have to the language, I had a fun time watching the first of the DVDs. It feels like I'm reading the manga - the story is pretty much the same,
but well animated and with colors instead of just being black and white.

Interesting experience. Most times we've tried anime and manga from the same universe supposedly, the stories were not very close.
