Naruto is a great series, I'd love it to have tons of eps, although I really hope it doesn't get to the point where the story and fights just drag out over dozens of episodes at a time like what happens in Dragon Ball. So far I think the Naruto series has done a great job in keeping the fights reasonably short yet, action packed and filled with interest and excitement.

Just to clear up the facts on the Dragon Ball series. There are a total of 153 episodes of Dragon Ball, 291 episodes of Dragon Ball Z, and 64 episodes of Dragon Ball GT (which was made without Akira Toriyama or a manga to draw a story from). I won't bother to list how many movies and specials the DB series put out since most of them were pretty rediculous and didn't follow with any of the storyline of the eps.

*Also those numbers are the original Japanese episode amounts, not the english butchered versions. Their are far less episodes for each DB and DBZ when it was dubbed and edited by FUNimation.
