February as it stands is going to be one the hottest months for anime on Netflix UK ever. With the addition of the Studio Ghibli movies and My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, this is only more exciting that nine Naruto movies are scheduled next month.
Naruto and Naruto Shippuden are extremely popular anime franchises based upon the manga series of the same name by Masashi Kishimoto. The first chapter of the manga debuted in 1997 and had a full serialization from 1999 to 2014. An anime adaptation soon followed, debuting in 2002 and soon the popularity of the franchise exploded. From 2002 to 2017, Naruto and Naruto Shippuden aired a total of 770 episodes, along with a eleven movies.
It can’t be understated how popular the Naruto franchise is. In terms of sales, Naruto is the fourth highest-selling manga series of all time, only being beaten by Golgo 13, Dragon Ball and One Piece.
