Naruto (NARUTO -ナルト-^?, romanized as NARUTO) is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. The plot tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, an adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and aspires to become a Hokage, the ninja in his village that is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all. The series is based on a one-shot comic by Kishimoto that was published in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump.

The manga was first published by Shueisha in 1999 in the 43rd issue of Japan's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. Currently, the manga is still being serialized with forty-seven tankōbon volumes released so far. The manga was later adapted into an anime, which was produced by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex. It premiered across Japan on the terrestrial TV Tokyo network and the anime satellite television network Animax on October 3, 2002. The first series lasted 220 episodes, while Naruto: Shippuden, a sequel to the original series, has been airing since February 15, 2007. In addition to the anime series, Studio Pierrot has developed six movies for the series and several original video animations (OVAs). Other types of merchandise include light novels, video games and trading cards developed by several companies.

Viz Media has licensed the manga and anime for North American production. Viz has been publishing the series in their Shonen Jump magazine, and as well as the indidividual volumes. The anime series began airing in the United States and Canada in 2005, and later in the United Kingdom and Australia in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The films, as well as most OVAs from the series, have also been released by Viz, with the first film premiering in cinemas. The first DVD volume of Naruto: Shippuden will be released by Viz in North America on September 29, 2009.

Serialized in Viz's Shonen Jump magazine, Naruto has become one of the company's best-selling manga series. As of volume 36, the manga has sold over 71 million copies in Japan. The English adaptation of the series has also appeared in the USA Today Booklist several times and volume 11 won the Quil Award in 2006. Reviewers from the series have praised the balance between fighting and comedy scenes, as well as the characters' personalities, but have criticized it for using standard shōnen plot elements.

PLOT

Naruto Uzumaki is a young boy who has the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed within him. Twelve years before the start of the series, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked the ninja village Konohagakure, slaughtering many people. In response, the leader of Konohagakure and its ninja military – the Fourth Hokage – sacrificed his life to seal the demon inside Naruto when he was a newborn. Konohagakure, however, regarded Naruto as if he were the demon fox itself and mistreated him throughout most of his childhood. A decree made by the Third Hokage, who replaced the Fourth Hokage after his death, forbade anyone mention the attack of the demon fox to anyone. Years later, Naruto is tricked by the renegade ninja Mizuki into stealing a forbidden scroll, but is stopped by his teacher, Iruka Umino. When Iruka almost dies while protecting Naruto from Mizuki, Naruto defeats Mizuki using the power from the scroll, which develops the supernatural ability Jutsu Shadow Clone Technique that creates clones from himself. That encounter makes Naruto realize he was the container of the demon fox.

Air Gear ( Ea Gia) is a shōnen manga by the mangaka Ito "Oh Great" Ōgure. Air Gear is about the life of Itsuki Minami "Ikki", also known as "Baby face" and "Lil (and Little) Crow", and his friends. The story follows their use of Air Trecks, an in-universe invention derived from inline skates. The early parts of the story carry out the introduction of characters that eventually join Ikki. As the story progresses, it focuses on their roles as Storm Riders and their quest to be on the top of the Trophaeum Tower. It won the 2006 Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category.[1]

Story
Itsuki "Ikki" Minami, is a student and a delinquent. Also known as the "Unbeatable Babyface", Ikki is the leader of the youth gang by the name of "East Side Gunz". Upon his return home, after being humiliated by a Storm Rider team called the Skull Saders, Ikki discovers a secret hidden from him by his benefactors, the Noyamano sisters. The sisters belong to a group of Storm Riders who go by the team name of Sleeping Forest. In the anime, learning the sisters' secret angers him and he steals a pair of Air Trecks, abbreviated as "AT". (In the manga, the sisters give a pair of ATs to him and invite him to skate with them.) Ikki eventually settles his grudge with the Skull Saders, but in the process he receives more than the simple satisfaction of revenge. Determined to experience the sensation of "flight" for as long as he can, Ikki is quickly engaged in the mysterious, irresistible world of Air Treks.

Serial ini mulai diluncurkan pada tanggal 6 Oktober 2007 di stasiun televisi MBS dan TBS, pada hari Sabtu pukul 18:00 (waktu Jepang), menggantikan Terra e.... Anime ini disutradarai oleh Seiji Mizushima dan ditulis oleh by Yōsuke Kuroda, sementara karakter dalam anime tersebut didesain oleh Yun Kōga.
Serial ini pertama kali diumumkan oleh Sunrise dengan sebuah trailer berdurasi 15 detik, yang mengudara pada saat Terra e... ditayangkan pada tanggal 2 Juni 2007. Season kedua ditayangkan mulai tanggal 5 Oktober 2008, setelah berakhirnya season kedua Code Geass.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 adalah anime Gundam pertama yang memiliki animasi dalam format definisi tinggi (high-definition), dan serial Gundam pertama yang menggunakan kronologisasi timeline dunia nyata, Anno Domini.

Serial ini mengambil waktu pada tahun 2307 Anno Domini (AD), dan menggunakan kalender Gregorian. Selama waktu itu, bahan bakar fosil telah habis digunakan dan distribusi bahan bakar menjadi tidak lagi seimbang. Manusia yang hidup saat itu harus menggantungkan dirinya pada sekumpulan sistem pembangkit tenaga yang mengorbit di atas Bumi, dan ditopang oleh tiga elevator orbit, yang setiap elevator menandakan salah satu dari tiga kekuatan besar di planet Bumi, yakni:
Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations (世界経済連合 sekaikeizairengō, disingkat menjadi ユニオン Union, diterjemahkan seccara literal menjadi World Economy Union/Perserikatan Ekonomi Dunia) terdiri atas Organisasi negara-negara di Benua Amerika, Australasia, dan Jepang, yang mengontrol elevator yang terletak di Amerika Selatan.
Human Reform League (人類革新連盟 Jinrui Kakushin Renmei, disingkat menjadi 人革連 Jinkakuren, diterjemahkan secara literal menjadi Human Reform Alliance/Aliansi Perubahan Manusia), yang terdiri atas China, India, Rusia (sebelah timur Pegunungan Ural), Mongolia, ASEAN, Papua Nugini, Semenanjung Korea, Taiwan dan Sri Lanka, mengontrol elevator yang dibangun di atas Samudra Pasifik.
Advanced European Union (AEU), yang terdiri dari negara-negara anggota Uni Eropa, mengatur elevator yang dibangun di tengah-tengah Benua Afrika.
Pada akhirnya, negara-negara Timur Tengah yang mengklaim negaranya sebagai "The Promised Land of God"(atau lebih tepatnya negara penghasil minyak) mulai terkena imbas yang sangat memperburuk situasi di sana. Berkat adanya sumber energi yang berasal dari elevator orbit tersebut, maka para negara penghasil minyak khususnya negara Timur Tengah mulai diembargo, sehingga mereka mulai melawan para reformis yang melawan hukum "The Promised Land of God".
Dengan sumber energi yang tidak terbatas yang hanya dapat menguntungkan tiga kekuatan besar di atas, terjadilah perang berkepanjangan di seantero Bumi, hanya untuk memperoleh bahan bakar dan energi yang akhirnya mengarah pada pembentukan sebuah organisasi militer pribadi, yang disebut dengan Celestial Being (ソレスタルビーイング, Soresutaru Biingu), yang dibentuk untuk "menghapus" segala macam bentuk perang di muka bumi dengan menggunakan mobile suit humanoid yang bernama GUNDAM.
Empat orang pilot mobile suit, yang disebut sebagai Gundam Meister (ガンダムマイスター Gandamu Maisutā atau tepatnya Master of Gundam), yang bekerja pada Celestial Being. Pemeran utamanya adalah Setsuna F. Seiei (刹那・F・セイエイ), seorang remaja pendiam berusia 16 tahun yang dibesarkan di Timur Tengah yang menjadi Gundam Meister selama dua tahun. Ia menaiki GN-001 Gundam Exia, sebuah mobile suit yang berkemampuan bertarung di dalam pertarungan jarak dekat. Para Gundam Meister nantinya akan berhadapan dengan para musuh yang merupakan pilot berpengalaman, seorang diantaranya adalah Ali-Al Saachez, seorang tentara bayaran yang bertanggung jawab atas kematian keluarga Setsuna F Seiei dan Lockon Stratos.
