On October 3rd, 2002, Naruto Uzumaki leapt from the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump and into television screens for the first time. To commemorate this event, animation studio Pierrot created a retelling of Naruto’s journey set to a selection of the show’s opening themes.
The video features the shortened versions of six songs used in the series openings: three from Naruto and three from Naruto Shippuden. Events from the main plotlines are set to the music with a complete animation overhaul, giving fans an idea of what a potential series reboot could look like.
