Naruto Q&A: What's a "Season"?
Since we get so many questions from fans about
Naruto, we thought we'd start keeping a running Q&A to address some of the more popular ones. Unfortunately, we're not always at liberty to answer certain questions, but we'll do our best to keep you in the know about the ones we
can address.
With the release of the
Shippuden vol. 1 DVD, we've gotten a few queries from folks about how we define "seasons" when it comes to putting together DVD box sets and such. The question really points out the difference between U.S. and Japanese TV-viewing culture. Over here in the States, "seasons" usually last about half a year, with the other half being used for re-runs, special programming, and the like. A good example is a show like
24, which has 24 episodes (duh) each season.
In contrast, popular TV shows in Japan go on and on and on without a pause, 52 weeks a year (no "seasons" there)! That's why you often get "filler" episodes -- anime shows often catch up to the manga storyline so fast that the show runners have to create original stories to pass the time while they wait for the next manga installment or story arc to come out.
We here at VIZ Media acquire these shows in batches, usually a year's worth of episodes at a time (in this case, 52 episodes). And since we live in a country where people are used to viewing their shows based on dividing them into seasons, we're categorized
Naruto for packaging and distribution in the U.S. by "seasons." We've done our best to organize seasons by major story arcs; for example, "season 1" of the original
Naruto covers episode 1-57, season 2 covers episodes 58-106, season 3 covers episodes 107-163, and season 4 covers episodes 164-220.
If you have a
Naruto question chime in at
our forum and we'll do our best to answer!

manga is the equivalent of 4 seasons ahead of episode 128( ep 128 is

just finished with volume 48). It is ALL explained there

why is Naruto Shippuden DVD are in volume sets. Do you ever considerit to be in larger volumes of episode or into box set just likeFunimation did to their anime liberty of their box sets.

Did you ever dub the filler episodes after the epic Sasuke v Narutofight within the Valley of the End, also known as the end of theoriginal Naruto Canon?
posted October 01, 2009 03:07 pm by Scott
So there are only 4 seasons of the original Naruto? On Wikipedia'slist of episodes it says there are 9 seasons. Anyway sometimes it'shard to distinguish sequels. I consider many anime as seperate serieslike Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and it's sequel/secondseason Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2. Mobile Suit Gundam 00is hard though since the second season has the episode for season 2start at 1. Then for manga I consider it basiclly the same thing, likeRosario+Vampire and it's sequel Rosario+Vampire Season II.
