Naruto: The Complete Series is now available for preorder on Amazon, with a release date set for January 7, 2025. This extensive 32-disc Blu-ray box set includes all 220 episodes of Uzumaki Naruto's early adventures. Currently, Amazon is offering the Naruto anime collection at $271, while Crunchyroll has it listed for $250. Amazon's price is expected to decrease before the launch, and thanks to Amazon's preorder price guarantee, you'll automatically receive the lowest price from the time you order until the box set ships. Furthermore, you won't be charged until your order is shipped, unlike Crunchyroll, which charges for preorders immediately and does not offer a best-price guarantee. Naruto: The Complete Series is designated as a limited-edition release at Crunchyroll. As of October 26, Amazon's listing does not mention this specification, but the box sets are identical. Therefore, Naruto fans might want to preorder sooner rather than later, as the true 'limited' nature of this Blu-ray box set remains uncertain.
Naruto is set in a fictional world dominated by Ninja tribes, following the journey of the titular hero, Naruto, as he strives to become the world's greatest shinobi. The anime is adapted from a 72-volume manga series of the same name, illustrated and written by Masashi Kishimoto. It's important to note that the original Naruto anime's 220 episodes only cover part of the manga, including numerous filler episodes, while the sequel series, Naruto Shippuden, adapts the rest of Naruto's printed adventures (and even more filler). Thus, while Naruto: The Complete Edition box set encompasses all of the Naruto anime, it only represents a portion of the full story. To own the entire saga, you'll need to find the numerous Naruto Shippuden Blu-rays, which can be challenging to locate. Alternatively, a more comprehensive option would be to purchase all three large collections of the full Naruto manga run, which is available in three box sets. While buying all three manga box sets is more expensive than the anime, the advantage is that you get the entire story without any filler content.

This set is sold out at the Crunchyroll Store but is still available at Amazon for $190. For those who prefer Goku's earlier adventures, Amazon also offers an exclusive Dragon Ball Z Complete Series Box Set for $169. This set covers all nine seasons of the anime series, beginning with the Saiyan Invasion arc and ending with the Majin Buu saga.
