About Naruto Shippūden
After two and a half years away, Naruto returns to his home village of Konoha older, stronger, and more focused on his goals. He picks up where the original series left off, training harder and tackling missions that test his skills and judgment. New threats rise, most notably the shadowy shinobi organization Akatsuki, whose members are more dangerous and complicated than many foes he faced before. Allies grow into deeper roles, rivalries sharpen, and the world around Naruto changes in ways that force him to rethink what being a ninja really means, without giving away the twists that shape later arcs.
Naruto Shippuden premiered in 2007, based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga and produced by Studio Pierrot, continuing the story for television audiences in Japan and abroad.
The show wasn't an awards juggernaut at major international ceremonies, yet it gained recognition within anime industry circles, including appreciation for its voice cast and production values, and it featured in various fan polls and genre-specific honors.
Its cultural footprint is wide, with characters and visual moments becoming staples of cosplay, fan art, and online communities. The series helped cement modern shonen tropes for a global audience, influenced other manga and anime creators, and kept a dedicated fandom active through conventions, merchandise, and long-running online discussion.
Critical and fan reception leans positive, reflected in an average score of 8.532 out of 10 from 8,511 votes. Reviewers often praise the series for intense action sequences, evolving character dynamics, and emotional payoffs, while noting uneven pacing due to filler episodes. Storywise, it focuses on themes of friendship, responsibility, legacy, and how cycles of conflict can be challenged, mixing large-scale battles with quieter moments of character growth.
