Movies, books, shows, and even games have been released based on both the Naruto and Shippuden series. Although the Shippuden series ended, a new series, Boruto, started soon after. Quickly transitioning into anime in 2002, Naruto has skyrocketed in popularity and media appearances. It got its Manga debut in a 1997 Shōnen issue. Naruto stands as one of the big three anime ever made, both in our culture and that of Japan.
