Naruto as a whole contains 720 episodes. Do not let this number intimidate you. While that is a lot of episodes to watch there is a larger amount of filler. A filler episode is not related to the manga or the animation story itself. These episodes can be skipped and you will not miss any important detail about the story. Many people still choose to watch fillers but it is up to the viewer. Naruto is considered to be one of the best anime of all time and not only is it because of its large fan base but because of the storyline and its ability to connect with all ages. From sibling rivalry to power corruption, there is something for all ages to relate to. The series has two sections as well as movies that can be watched or skipped.
