If you've never seen Naruto before--DO NOT START HERE....GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND START THERE....NOW....SERIOUSLY.

All right, now that that's out of the way, let's move on. This boxed set spends basically the whole time in the forrest of death. Let me tell you, Naruto's team gets the worst of it, because the bad guy is after them--of course--. Sasuke has the curse mark put on him, bad guy(Orochimaru) puts another seal on Naruto's nine-tailed fox so Naruto can no longer access it's chakra while fighting, and we finally see Sakura doing some real fighting. I love the fact that all nine rookies make it through the second part of the exam. I'm sitting there going, "YES! You just got your butts kicked by the rookies!" This set ends in the middle of the preliminary exams, which they are having because too many people passed the second part. Of course, it ends right in the middle of Sasuke's battle. (Grumble to yourself and go get the next boxed set. Better yet, just get 4 when you get this one.)

The first two boxes were very interesting, you know that- unless you should be heeding my warning above about not starting here-but this is where things really start heating up. And it just gets better from here-I know because I've seen about 100-103 episodes(unfortunately that is all that has aired here in the U.S. -sad face-, if you live in Japan, you might have seen more like 250 or so -jealous face-)

As I have said in, at least most, of my other reviews, buy these sets on sale. See that number of aired episodes in Japan up there. 250. Average of 13 episodes in each box. 250 divided 13??? Round it up to 20 boxed sets. And from what I have read about where that last episodes ends, there will be more. If you pay 50 bucks for each boxed set, you are CRAZY. or rich, but still...crazy. Amazon has pretty good sales around labor day weekend. I saved around 90.00 dollars by buying the first five boxes on labor day weekend (okay, I only pre-ordered the fifth cause it wasn't out yet). Save yourself some money. If they keep on releasing them as they have been, a new boxed set will be coming out about every three months.

well i finnaly got it today i also own the other two boxsets and this one was just as good as the others it starts right in the forest of death and ends right before the sudden death eliminations the perfect place to end in my opinion just like the other box sets you have the options of watching it in japanese with english subtitles or you can watch it in english with subtitles as well so you can see what they say in the japanese version while watching it in english perfect the album art on the inside of the box is also very nice if your looking for an addition to your naruto collection this is the boxset for you

I've bought past Naruto boxed sets from different anime sites and these are by far the best ones. The subtitling is very good and almost the same with the fan subbed versions. I wish they would release more boxed sets so they can at least catch up with the series. Naruto:Shippuden series is getting better and better. For anyone who is looking to buy boxed Naruto sets I would strongly suggest theses.

Volume 3 of the series starts with a very humourous introduction that recaps the first 25 episodes due to a "mistake" made by Naruto. It then introduces the new opening song... which is a very addictively awesome song. In my oppinion one of the best openings I've heard from any series, animated or not.

Volume 3 takes the viewer into the forest of death where the main villian for the series is first glimpsed in Orochimaru. Volume 3 is also where Naruto begins to let some lesser shown characters take the spotlight. Rock Lee... the annoying little brat from Volume Two becomes an instant fan favourite as he shows his skills and his high morals. And Sakura, finally does something useful while her comrades are out.

Once you watch Volume 3 there is no going back. Naruto will have you hooked!

This set contains episodes 26-38 which range from the second part of the Chuunin exam to the beginning of the preliminaries for the third part. We get to see the introduction of Orochimaru and his curse seal.

I would rate this set above average (each special edition contains a headband, this one of the sound village). Box set 4 is available for preorder and will prove to be better.

Naruto Uncut Box Set 3 is a three DVD set that contains episodes twenty-six through thirty-eight of Naruto. The first disc contains five episodes, the second disc contains four episodes, and the third disc contains four episodes and the special features. I have to say that, unlike Naruto Uncut Box Set 2, this set is more enjoyable to watch; the story isn't being stretched out a ridiculous amount, so it actually progresses at a decent pace.

The first extra included in this DVD set is labeled as "Production Art." This consists of ten pages, and all ten pages are model sketches of some of the Naruto characters. There is also "From Sketch to Screen," which contains eight pages of storyboards from episode thirty-three. You can also see the English credits in the "Extras" menu. These are the exact same English version of the credits that appears on the first two DVD sets of Naruto. This, of course, means that there is no bed music to accompany the credits, so you just watch text crawl up the screen in complete silence.

There is a sneak preview of Naruto Uncut Box Set 4, which runs a little over three-and-a-half minutes. A link labeled "Shonen Jump Home Video" is a link to three trailers: Bleach, Hikaru no Go, and One Piece. The "Shonen Jump Magazine" link includes an advertisement for Shonen Jump Magazine, an advertisement for the Naruto manga, and two advertisements for other Shonen Jump manga titles.

Just like the first two box sets, I was rather disappointed with the special features included on this set. While I basically knew to expect these extras, since they're the same kinds that are on the first two sets, I kept hoping that perhaps Viz Media would go to a little more effort with the extras this time.

If you're a Naruto fan and want to collect the episodes on DVD, then the Naruto Uncut Box Set 3 would be a good addition to your DVD library.

This box set contains the episodes which introduce more ninjas with new techniques and brings one of the most important antagonists of the early series into the story. Also someone gains extremely dangerous power so the episodes are interesting, but not my favorite in the series. Still a must watch!

These are really awsome, if your a fan of Naruto but you dislike the edit version then buy these, you'll see stuff like blood and hear foul words in these that was taken out of the edit version! This one also contains season 2 the ending is awsome! It has Sakura and Ino both singing together. The song is very pretty! :)

I am baisically puzzled. I ordered the set and didn't get the product, but later I had gotten it refunded back without an explanation. Not good on delivery on the product but at least I got my money back

Naruto Vol.3 is the beginning of the best part of the Naruto series. It starts at the second part of the Chuunin Exams. This is where the genins must work in teams of three to traverse the forest of death. It is also where the super villian, Orochimaru, is introduced. The DVD is great. There aren't really any significant special features, but the subtitles are near to the fan subs. Which is important if you're like me and don't like the mostly cheesy English dub. If you like Naruto, this is a must have.
