Naruto is one of the most beloved anime series of all time, but it is also notorious for its staggering amount of filler. Nearly 40% of the original run consists of side stories that never appeared in the manga. For fans who want a streamlined, high-stakes experience, the project titled has become the gold standard for viewing.
: Ideal for a re-watch to see the story "how it was meant to be told" with better pacing.
If your goal is to watch the Naruto series with minimal filler and closely following the manga storyline, a Naruto Kai 1-72 complete set could be a great start. Keep in mind that Naruto Shippuden continues the series and covers the second part of the manga; it also has its Kai version and similar availability considerations.
