Naruto is one of the world’s most well-known and beloved anime series, holding a spot as one of the three kings of Japanese animation alongside Dragon Ball and One Piece. Anyone looking to get into this hit series need look no further. We have the ultimate Naruto watch-list for you to binge.
Naruto: All Series Watch Order
Naruto is a behemoth of a series to get through. New fans looking to get into the series may be intimidated by the sheer size of the series; Naruto has 520 episodes, at 23 minutes each, meaning it would take you 8 days to sit through the entire thing.
To cut down on a little bit of Naruto’s insane watch time, I’ve listed out all of the filler episodes in each series. These episodes don’t tie to the plot of the manga, so you don’t lose out on any story by skipping them. That being said, you’ll still have a lot to watch, so be prepared for a big commitment.
With all that in mind, here’s the watch list.
