Part 3: Additional Considerations

It is recommended to read the manga before watching the anime series, since it contains the story in a more detailed and complete version.
It is also recommended to check out the various Naruto spin-offs that have been produced over the years, such as Naruto SD and Rocky Boy’s Flash.
Most of the movies don’t have much value as part of the story, so you don’t need to watch them if you’re not interested in the narrative.
