@themcnoisy As someone who is a big fan of Naruto and Anime as a whole, I would say that the storm games are a great way to experience the series. If you wanted to get the first and play through them that would be sufficient to watching the show or reading the manga. Now to answer your question on if someone could play it without knowing anything about the series I would say yes. There will be spoilers but the gameplay is fun (from what I know of the others) and in all honesty, when you play a fighting game how many of the characters do you actually know a large amount about? Also, the good thing about these games is that team attacks will show you what the relationship is like between different characters. Like when Itachi and Shisui have their team attack you can tell they are very well versed in how the other fights and can gain the knowledge that they are both teammates and best friends. The basic attacks do this as well. With the old version of Sakura she uses her "inner sakura" to fight. Showing that, she is not showing her true self to everyone. Which she doesn't until much later in the series when she has finally became true to herself and who she really is.
