When Ты first started watching Naruto, what was your reaction? What did Ты think of it?

Did Ты fall in Любовь with the Показать straight away, или did it grow on Ты over time?

When I watched the first few episodes, my thoughts were along the lines of 'Meh, it's okay, it's got potential... It'a not as good as ATLA, though.'. How wrong I was. I think it was the chunin exams that got me hooked... such an awesome arc!
