Believe it! The first season of Naruto is now available to stream on Disney+ in the UK, with the series available to watch in High Definition in both dubbed and subbed format.
The addition of Naruto to Disney+ comes as a bit of a surprise, especially as the English Dub version of series was added to BBC iPlayer earlier this year, but not totally unexpected given that VIZ Media related titles are available on the platform through the Hulu catalogue. It’s also worth noting that (unlike BBC iPlayer) the series is presented in both dubbed and subbed format and its original High Definition format rather than a PAL encoded HD format that BBC tend to use for their platform.
Synopsis: The little ninja that changed the world finally comes to Blu-ray! Journey back to a simpler time when Naruto was a little scamp pulling pranks and defacing monuments. A social outcast with the dreaded Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit locked inside of him, Naruto’s infectious optimism and never-give-up attitude propels him towards the path of greatness. Relive the outrageous beginnings of a generation of ninja that would go on to become legends!
As it stands the entirety of the first season, which covers 52 episodes, is available to stream on Disney+ in the UK and more episodes are expected to be added in the future. Disney+ also has other anime series, such as Macross, SANDLAND, Undead Unluck and Medalist.
If you’ve yet to experience Naruto, and do not have a Disney+ subscription, then the series can also be streamed on BBC iPlayer (English Dub only), Netflix (Sub & Dub) and Crunchyroll (sub only) in the UK. Naruto is also available on Blu-Ray in the UK from Anime Limited.
Thansk to @Dappersteve for the heads-up.
