Now over 20 years old, watching Naruto in order is becoming increasingly unruly. The🔜re are hundreds of episodes of ninja fighting, as the title character works to earn his village's respect and become a high-ranking warrior.

Created by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto swiftly became one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best anime franchises in the 2000s, leading to a worldwide fandom. Over the years, more and more people have become enra💝ptured by the shonen action, interpersonal drama, and all the flashy powers of the kekkei genkai. But in that time, the story has ballooned, with almost 1000 episodes so far, a hefty proposition for a fledgling viewer or returning fan.

However, our power is in making entertainment easy. Just like with our guides on how to watch 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Attack on Titan in order and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:One Piece in order, we've broken down how to watch Naruto in order chronologically and by release. We've also provided a rundown of what anime movies are essential to understand the narrative, beginning to end. There's still a lot to get thro෴ugh, but little by little, you'll make it through, with a little help from your internet friends in this guide.

How to watch Naruto in chronological order

The ea🐼siest way to enjoy Naruto is in chronological order. You get to watch the hero's evolution as a ninja, alongside all his friends, across multiple arcs worth of journeys and battles together. The arcs of Naruto often aren't very long, leaving stretches of dozens of episodes where you'll see a variety of enemies and situations for the protagonists to ovඣercome.

Interspersed among the episodes are the movies. Much lik𝔉e Dragon Ball and One Piece, the films aren't strictly canon, but they are entertaining and help break up the T🍰V side of things if you're doing a full watch. Frankly, it's just not the same without them!

Below, we've included the original Naruto serie♏s, Naruto Shippuden, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. That way, you can hav🍌e the complete viewing experience.

How to watch Naruto in release order

Naruto in release order is where things get a little strange. Due to TV and film operating on different calendars and release schedules, the movies didn't always come out right when they lined up in the narrative. Of course, now we have the option to watch Naruto from episode 1 exactly as it was always meant to🅠 be.

But fans in the 2000s didn't have that option, and if🐻 you'd like to emulate their experience, we've laid it all out for you. This is definitely off-kilter in places, and we'd recommend doing this for a rewatch rather than on your first go. But either way, the choice is yours!

Are the Naruto movies canon?

Most of the Naruto movies can be considered filler and therefore avoided if you're looking for genuine substance to the plot. Similar to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:One Piece filler, they're ඣessentially side-quests, such as when Naruto, Sakura, and company have to protect a future prince of the moon, or when Naruto is framed for murder✃ (it's a weird franchise).

Two are canon, with a story written by creator Masashi Kishimoto. He also contributed to a third, Road to 🅘Ninja: Naruto the Movie, but only for story and character ideas. The other two are the ones you'll want to include in any 🍸watch-through.

The canon Naruto movies:

• The Last: Naruto the Movie
• Boruto: Naruto the Movie

Where can I watch Naruto?

You can find the entire Naruto franchise so far on Crunchyroll in the US and the UK. This includes the original sho💙w, Naruto Shippuden, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The original Naruto is also available on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in the US.
