Hi! I was reading your Gaara story, and saw the contest. I had already done almost everything on there, so decided, 'why not?'
My favorite character... Rock Lee (though Gaara is right behind...)
Why do I like him? He's so determined to be a ninja without Chakra, even when he wasn't too good at Taijutsu. He's funny, Youthful ( ~.^ ) and I love his very weird crush on Sakura. Plus, his relationship with Gai is cute and disturbing... (I could go on for pages about Lee, so I'll leave it at that.)
Why do I like watching Naruto? It's just so... Youthful! (sorry... couldn't resist...) It has action, humor, depressing parts, good parts, great characters, and more! Sure, sometimes there are wayyy too many fillers, but I like some of them.
Yes, as you can tell, it is my favorite.
If I had to name another anime... I'd say Soul Eater.
