When was your last time in an anime convention? In fact, when was your last time in any kind of convention? And, no, the annual convention for the Girl Scout Cookie Club doesn't count. Come November, some of you Naruto fans will have a chance to participate in GA Viz Media's Naruto mall tour.

In the national tour that's set to sweep U.S., fans will be able to catch sneak-peeks of new episodes of the series and participate in other events such as a Chakra Challenge where you could "learn special moves and techniques with an instructor". More than that, they can battle it out in the Naruto games by Namco Bandai and D3Publisher - Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja (both for the PS2).

Notch your calendars, people! Free your Saturdays. These events all start from 12 noon to 7 p.m.
  • NarutoNovember 4: Cumberland Mall, Atlanta, GA
  • November 11: Mall of America, Bloomington, MN
  • November 18: Lakeline Mall, Cedar Park, TX
While the event is still scheduled for November, Viz Media is planning to extend the tour with more mall visits next year. Y'know, what that means. By that time, they just might have demos for their upcoming games in the franchise. We wouldn't mind going out of our way to check out the new Naruto games for the Wii, 360, and DS. Otherwise, we might fall to temptation and attend the Girl Scout Cookie Club convention instead.
