Naruto[e] is a Japanese anime television series based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga series of the same name. The story follows Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja who seeks recognition from his peers and dreams of becoming the Hokage, the leader of his village. Just like the manga, the anime series is divided into two separate parts: the first series retains the original manga's title and is set in Naruto's pre-teen years. The second series, a direct sequel titled Naruto: Shippuden,[f] takes place during his teens. Both anime series were animated by Pierrot, produced by Aniplex and licensed in North America by Viz Media.

The first anime series aired on TV Tokyo and ran for 220 episodes from October 2002 to February 2007; an English dub produced by Viz Media aired on Cartoon Network and YTV from September 2005 to December 2009. The second series, Shippuden, also aired on TV Tokyo and ran for 500 episodes from February 2007 to March 2017. The English dub of Shippuden was broadcast on Disney XD in the United States from October 2009 to November 2011, airing the first 98 episodes before eventually switching over to Adult Swim's Toonami programming block in January 2014, starting over from the first episode. After Disney XD removed the series from broadcast, Viz Media began streaming new English dubbed episodes on their streaming service Neon Alley in December 2012 starting at episode 99. The service aborted its run in March 2016 after 338 episodes due to its shutdown a month later. Besides the anime television series, Pierrot also developed 11 animated films and 12 original video animations (OVAs).

Production and release

Part I (2002–07)

The first Naruto anime series, directed by Hayato Date and produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo, premiered in Japan on October 3, 2002, and concluded on February 8, 2007, after 220 episodes.[2][3] The first 135 episodes were adapted from Part I of the manga; the remaining 85 episodes are original and use plot elements that are not in the manga.[4] Tetsuya Nishio was the character designer for Naruto when the manga was adapted into an anime series; Kishimoto had requested that Nishio be given this role.[5][6] Beginning on April 29, 2009, the original Naruto anime began a rerun on Wednesdays and Thursdays (until the fourth week of September 2009 when it changed to only Wednesdays). It was remastered in HD, with new 2D and 3D effects, under the name Naruto: Shōnen Hen[g].[7] Episodes from the series have been released on both VHS and DVD, and collected as boxed sets.[8][9][10][11]

Viz licensed the anime series for broadcast and distribution in the Region 1 market.[12] The English dub of the anime began airing on September 10, 2005, and concluded on January 31, 2009, with 209 episodes aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami in the United States.[13] The episodes were also broadcast on YTV's Bionix (Canada),[14] Jetix (United Kingdom)[15] and SABC 2's (South Africa)[16] programming blocks, and were released on DVD on March 28, 2006.[17] On August 25, 2017, Starz announced that they would be offering episodes of the series for their Video on Demand service starting September 1, 2017.[18] The first 26 volumes contain four episodes; later DVD volumes have five episodes.[19] Uncut editions were released in DVD box sets, each containing 12–15 episodes, with some variation based on story arcs.[20] In the American broadcast, references to alcohol, Japanese culture, sexual innuendo, and the appearance of blood and death were sometimes edited but remained in the DVD editions.[21] One of the censored scenes was the accidental kiss between Naruto and Sasuke, fitting in the long trend of removing content that alludes to homosexual relationships.[22] The series was also licensed to Hulu, Joost, and Crunchyroll, which aired the episodes online with the original Japanese audio tracks and English subtitles.[23][24][25] On June 1, 2017, it was announced that an HD remaster version of the original Naruto television anime series would debut on Japanese TV on June 24, starting with the show's first episode.[26] Anime Limited will release the series in a "Collector's Blu-ray" edition in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2024.[27]

A series of four "brand-new" episodes, to commemorate the original anime's 20th anniversary, were originally scheduled to premiere on September 3, 2023;[28] however, in August of that same year, it was announced that the episodes would be postponed to a later date.[29]

Part II: Shippuden (2007–17)

The second anime series, titled Naruto: Shippuden[h], developed by Studio Pierrot and directed by Hayato Date, is a direct sequel to the first Naruto anime series; it corresponds to Part II of the manga.[30] It debuted on Japanese TV on February 15, 2007, on TV Tokyo, and concluded on March 23, 2017.[31][32] On January 8, 2009, TV Tokyo began broadcasting new episodes via internet streaming to monthly subscribers. Each streamed episode was available online within an hour of its Japanese release and includes English subtitles.[33]

Viz began streaming English subtitled episodes on January 2, 2009, on its series' website, including episodes that had already been released as well as new episodes from Japan.[34] In the United States, the English dub of Naruto: Shippuden premiered weekly on Disney XD from October 28, 2009, up until episode 98 on November 5, 2011.[35] Episodes 99 through 338 premiered uncut on the anime web channel Neon Alley until its shutdown on May 4, 2016.[36] The anime started airing from the beginning on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block on January 5, 2014, where it continues to air on a weekly basis.[37]

The series was released on Region 2 DVD in Japan with four or five episodes per disk; there are four series of DVD releases divided by story arc.[38] There was a special feature included with the seventh Naruto: Shippuden compilation DVD called Hurricane! "Konoha Academy" Chronicles.[39] Kakashi Chronicles: Boys' Life on the Battlefield[i] was released on December 16, 2009; featuring episodes 119–120, the story revolves around Kakashi Hatake's childhood.[40]

The first North American DVD of the series was released on September 29, 2009.[41] Only the first 53 episodes were made available in this format before it ended with the 12th volume on August 10, 2010.[42] Subsequent episodes were released as part of DVD boxed sets, beginning with the first season on January 26, 2010.[43] In the United Kingdom, the series was licensed by Manga Entertainment who released the first DVD collection on June 14, 2010.[44] Anime Limited will release the series in a "Collector's Blu-ray" edition in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2024.[27]

The theme for the Cartoon Network English version was performed by former Saban Entertainment composer Jeremy Sweet,[64] who had previously worked on themes for the Power Rangers franchise, the English adaptation of Dragon Ball Z and various other Saban programs.[65][66] It was co-composed by Ian Nickus,[64] another former musician from the company.[67]

Reception

Sales and ratings

In 2011, Naruto helped Viz Media generate $200 million in annual licensed merchandise sales.[94] By 2019, Viz Media has sold more than 3 million Naruto anime home video units, while the anime is also a top digital streaming performer on Hulu.[95] Naruto: Shippuden has been ranked several times as one of the most watched series in Japan.[96][97] Naruto has also been the top-earning (gross profit) anime franchise for TV Tokyo (surpassed by Pokémon in 2011 and Yo-kai Watch in 2015) due to strong overseas and domestic sales.[iii] In 2020, it was the third most watched series in the United States.[109]

Critical reception

Mike Hale of The New York Times described the series as much better than American animation aimed at children,[110] but the animation received some criticism from both the THEM Anime Reviews critics: Christina Carpenter felt Kishimoto's artistic style translated poorly into animation,[111] and Derrick Tucker was also negative, though he felt that at their best, the depictions "[left] little to be desired".[112] As with the manga, some reviewers, such as Theron Martin of Anime News Network, along with Tucker, felt there were too many fight scenes,[112][113] though Justin Rich argued that the fight scenes were the most important and enjoyable element of the show.[114] Carpenter also commented positively on the characters, though she felt that most were fairly typicals.[111] Hiroshi Matsuyama further reflected the anime's 133rd episode to be one of his favorites not only for the action sequences between Naruto and Sasuke but also the emotional value displayed.[115]

It was well-reviewed by Activeanime's David C. Jones who commented that the animation had improved.[116] Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network opined that the series has a more serious tone and a better balance between comedy and drama than the first anime series; with more interesting digressions from the main plot.[117][118] Although the pacing for the first episodes was criticised as slow, the delivery and development of the interactions between the characters received positive comments.[119][120] Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Charles Solomon ranked Shippuden the third best anime on his "Top 10".[121] In 2011, readers of Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition voted Naruto as the 29th-top video game character of all time.[122]

Accolades

The Naruto anime was listed as the 38th best animated show in IGN's Top 100 Animated Series.[123] In September 2005, Japanese television network TV Asahi broadcast a popularity poll based on a nationwide survey in which Naruto placed seventeenth.[124] The first DVD compilation released by Viz received a nomination from the American Anime Awards for Best Package Design.[125] At the Crunchyroll's inaugural Anime Awards in 2017, the fight between Naruto and Sasuke received a Most Popular "Other" mention in the Best Fight Scene category.[126] At the 2nd edition in 2018, Naruto: Shippuden was nominated for Best Continuing Series.[127]
