Naruto is a modern classic in manga and Japanese anime. There have been 3 Naruto TV series totaling over 1000 episodes and 11 movies. This guide will tell you where you can watch every Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations TV episode and movie. We will tell you which order to watch Naruto in and which filler episodes you can skip as they don’t affect the story or show any real character development.
The Quick Answer: The TV series Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations are readily available on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Both offer free trials. The first 8 of the 11 Movies over the three series are available on Netflix, while the last 3 movies are only available to rent or buy from Amazon Prime.
Where To Watch Naruto
There are a few services that have Naruto TV episodes and movies. I recommend Crunchyroll or Hulu if you want to watch episodes dubbed in English, the Crunchyroll streaming service if you want to watch Naruto in its original Japanese, and Netflix and Amazon Prime for movies.
Watch Naruto on Hulu
Hulu has all 220 episodes of the Naruto original anime series, all 500 episodes of Naruto Shippuden, and every episode of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (even the currently airing season.) Episodes of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden are available in both English dubbed versions and Japanese with English subtitles. Hulu offers a 30-day free trial.
- Hulu (with ads): This plan costs $7.99 per month, but provides an annual billing option priced at a discount. This plan is ad-supported.
- Hulu (no ads): This plan costs $17.99 per month. With this plan, you get all the movies and TV shows in Hulu’s streaming library commercial-free. (Due to network arrangements, Grey’s Anatomy, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and How To Get Away With Murder will always have commercials).
Hulu is supported by just about every streaming device you can buy, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and more. See our full review of Hulu for more details on their service.
Watch Naruto on Crunchyroll
Crunchyroll has every episode of Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations in Japanese with English subtitles. Many episodes of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden are available for free. However, the free version requires you to watch ads. If you want to watch without ads, you need to subscribe to Crunchyroll Premium, starting at $7.99 per month after a 14-day free trial. Most of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is only available on a premium tier.
Crunchyroll is available to stream on select online, as well as through apps for iOS and Android devices, Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV devices, as well as an array of PlayStation devices, and Xbox. For more information on this streaming service, please see our review of Crunchyroll.
Watching Naruto Movies
You can watch 8 of the 11 Naruto movies free on Netflix, so you will need to pick up a subscription to Netflix. Unfortunately, Netflix no longer offers a free trial, so you will need to pick up a subscription for a month starting at $9.99 per month. However, you can cancel in your first month but will be charged for the initial month. See our review of Netflix for more details on the service. Road to Ninja, The Last: Naruto the Movie, and Boruto: Naruto the Movie isn’t currently available on any subscription service, but you can rent/buy them on Amazon Prime.
