P.S. Speaking of which, I happened to just catch part of one of the Naruto episodes that have started showing on Toonami (and after watching it, I have absolutely no idea why so many people like it), and one of the characters in it actually used a kancho move on someone else. Right down to the "thousand years of pain!" line. I just couldn't believe it. Absolutely nuts.
Agreed, reading all of them is sort of mandatory after reading the first one.
Hilarious stuff

As for Naruto.. well the manga is better, but I like the anime too.
I haven't watched any of the episodes on Toonami (mainly because I don't like dubbing.)
I thought that particular Kancho scene was funny.
The first 14 episodes or so are more of an introduction, the pace picks up after that.
