# How long does it take to watch Naruto?

**How long to watch Naruto: about 84 hours**

220 episodes, 2002 to 2007

The original Naruto is 220 episodes and about 84 hours. Roughly 90 of those are filler, produced because the anime caught up with the manga — episodes 136 to 220 are almost entirely original material. Skipping them cuts the watch to under 55 hours and loses nothing that Shippuden depends on. That gap between "what aired" and "what matters" is larger here than for almost any other series on this list.

## The numbers

- **Total:** 3 days 12 hours
- **In hours:** 84.3 hours
- **Non-stop:** 3.5 days without sleeping
- **Covers:** 220 episodes, 2002 to 2007
- **At a realistic pace:** an episode a day
- **That works out as:** about 220 days

## What this assumes

220 episodes at 23 minutes of programme content. Japanese TV anime occupies a 30-minute slot; the episode itself is roughly 23 minutes.
