Through the years, Netflix has developed a diverse anime library. There are a lot of classic shows to stream there, with newer titles being added to the library every season. It’s a pretty good starting point to explore anime genres. However, a series from the so-called Shonen Big Three is leaving this streaming platform. It has been announced that Naruto is leaving Netflix in October.

Fans who wish to stream Naruto on this streaming service will only have until the end of October to do so. By October 31, the show will no longer be streaming on Netflix, although this only refers to the 220 episodes (Seasons 1-9) of the original series. On the plus side, the movies and Naruto: Shippuden will not be leaving the platform. Fans who are looking to stream the anime elsewhere can still watch the series on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
Naruto is a manga series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Weekly Shonen Jump serialized the manga from 1999 to 2014. Studio Pierrot released the anime adaptation in 2002, which aired until 2007.
