Its not all that surprising, in fact I expected it, that Naruto is overtaking DBZ, the animation is much more realistic, the physics of the fighting int he series much better and more realistic (i mean common, DBZ got rediculous with the power levels and such, and all they do is punch and kick and blast rediculously large energy blasts at each other. Naruto shows much more thought into the battle physics, and characters are likeable to a larger audience. I never did see why DBZ was so popular, brobably because there was nothign better available on a large scale here in the states before, but I expected naruto to be even before it hit the states.
Don't get me wrong, I like DBZ, but I don't see the reason for its redilulously large fanbase, as there are much better anime out that don't get nearly as much attention.
There was a post that said something about Bleach being better than Naruto, WHile I do like the story of bleach better (I prefer manga bleach to manga Naruto for instance), I have to admit the animation quality of Naruto is by far better than bleach. The studio doing bleach isn't realy all that good IMO, I wish Kyo-Ani could've done it
