Naruto English Sub & Dub

About Naruto

Naruto (NARUTO -ナルト-) blends action, adventure and comedy by Studio Pierrot (2002). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: Naruto Uzumaki, a hyperactive and knuckle-headed ninja, lives in Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf village. Moments prior to his birth, a huge demon known as the Kyuubi, the Nine-tailed Fox, attacked Konohagakure and wreaked havoc.

Along the way, in order to put an end to the Kyuubi's rampage, the leader of the village, the 4th Hokage, sacrificed his life and sealed the monstrous beast inside the newborn Naruto. Shunned because of the presence of the Kyuubi inside him, Naruto struggles to find his place in the village. He strives to become the Hokage of Konohagakure, and he meets many friends and foes along the way.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Sasuke Uchiha (Noriaki Sugiyama) and Itachi Uchiha (Hideo Ishikawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 220 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Studio Pierrot is the studio behind Naruto, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. A community score of 8.0/10 puts it among the better-received action titles. Voice casting, including Noriaki Sugiyama as Sasuke Uchiha, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2002, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
