Naruto franchise watch order guide

When it comes to popular anime series, few can hold a candle to “Naruto.” Based on Masashi Kishimoto’s manga series of the same name, “Naruto” centers on Naruto Uzumaki and his ninja brethren as they defend the Hidden Leaf Village. Similarly to “Dragon Ball Z” and “Sailor Moon,” the popularity of “Naruto” in the west has spread beyond niche circles, with the Kumogakure cloud and memorable “Naruto run” becoming easily recognizable pop culture staples beyond anime circles. Since the anime’s debut in 2002, “Naruto” has branched out into a full franchise, with multiple series, films, and the spin-off “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.”

Considered one of the big three shonen anime series alongside “One Piece” and “Bleach,” “Naruto” has captured the hearts of millions of fans worldwide with its richly developed characters, epic battles, and intricate storytelling. It follows the story of Naruto Uzumaki, a young orphan who dreams of becoming the Hokage (leader) of his village and earning the respect of his peers. Along the way, he must face challenges both physical and emotional, as he learns what it truly means to be a ninja.

However, with such an established and utterly massive world of anime (there’s hundreds of episodes!), trying to figure out how to consume it all seems like an impossible task. Fortunately, we’ve done some heavy lifting for you, and have the ultimate guide to watching “Naruto.” Grab a bowl of ramen, and get ready to binge watch, because here’s how you can watch all of “Naruto” in order, and which filler episodes you can skip, if you want to, of course.

Adapting a manga to an anime poses all sorts of unique challenges, but one of the biggest deals is the required length of a TV series compared to a serial manga. To make these accommodations, most anime series contain what are called “filler episodes.” These episodes are exactly what they sound like, with filler being any content that cannot be found in the original source material. This includes new scenes, episodes, and sometimes entire story arcs.

While filler episodes may sound like a derogatory term, this isn’t necessarily the case. Filler just means the content wasn’t part of the original manga, and some filler episodes and arcs are just as entertaining as the original manga. However, there are plenty of people who don’t want to waste time with filler, so never fear, we’ve isolated all of the so-called filler episodes from each series in case that’s something you don’t feel like watching.

Given its popularity, “Naruto” can be watched in a number of ways. If you’re someone that prefers watching the English dub, all of “Naruto” is available on Hulu — this means all 220 episodes of the “Naruto” original anime series, all 500 episodes of “Naruto Shippuden” and every episode of “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” including the new episodes as they release. Keep in mind that not every episode of “Naruto Shippuden” has an English dub available, and the app will automatically shift to Japanese with English subtitles. (For what it’s worth, the English dub of the series is pretty fantastic.)

Hulu does offer the show in its original Japanese with English subtitles, as does the service Crunchyroll. However, if you’re looking for the “Naruto” movies, things get a little more complicated. Here’s where you can find the movies.
