How Long Would It Take to Watch All of Naruto, Shippuden & Boruto?
Naruto is a series many want to start, but are intimidated by the length. Although it’s not a short series, Naruto is definitely one worth watching. It’s one of the Big 3 anime during Shonen Jump’s golden age, and it’s cemented itself as one of the most well-known anime of all time. With such a big series, you’re bound to find characters you love and things to think about. But how long would it take to watch all of Naruto, Naruto: Shippuden, and Boruto?
It would take you 13-14 straight days to watch all of Naruto, Shippuden, and Boruto. That long of a binging session isn’t recommended, but 1 hour of anime a day would make you finish all 3 series in 330 days.
That’s nearly a year! That’s no small time investment, but going on such a long journey with Naruto and his friends is what makes the series so memorable and well-loved by fans worldwide. Read on to find out if you can cut some time off, or just discover what you’re in for.
How many episodes do Naruto, Shippuden, and Boruto have?
Naruto is a pretty long-running series, and for good reason. Not only is the storyline itself fairly long, but before the series ended, the manga and anime were running at the same time.
At certain points, the anime caught up to the manga. Because they were following the manga, they had to wait for new chapters to be released so they could be adapted into anime episodes. But if they waited for new chapters every time, they would lose viewers.
Because of this, the anime showrunners adapted anime-only storylines, making the episode count even higher. The original Naruto series has 220 episodes. Shippuden has 500 episodes in total. These two make up the entirety of Naruto’s adventures. The series started airing on October 3rd, 2002 and finished airing on the 23rd of March, 2017.
Boruto is still ongoing, but so far it has 270 episodes. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations started airing not long after Naruto ended, precisely on the 5th of April, 2017. We don’t know how many episodes Boruto will have by the time it ends, but it’s very likely that Episode 273: Farewell Ninja School marks the end of its current arc, which is the Great Kirigakure Arc.
For all three, you’re looking at 990 episodes and counting. The next episode of Boruto comes out on October 16th, 2022.
How long are Naruto episodes?
Naruto episodes are about as long as any anime episode, with about 18-20 minutes of new material. This only applies if you skip the 1min 30sec of the opening, 1min 30sec of the ending, and the 30sec that the preview for the next episode takes up.
While we’re doing the math, we have to accept that some episodes will have more or less content than the 18-20 minutes we’ve calculated. It’s not exact, but it’s close enough. All of Naruto, Shippuden, and Boruto is comprised of at least 17.820 minutes and at most 19.800 minutes of content.
