The North American anime distributor
Viz Media has
announced on Monday that the Joost and
Hulu video websites will stream English-dubbed, uncut episodes of the original
Naruto anime series for free. The first five episodes of this 2002-2007 television adaptation of
Masashi Kishimoto's ninja manga series will go live on April 15. A new episode will be added every Wednesday. Joost is available in the United States and Canada, while Hulu is available in the United States. Each episode will remain on the site for about five weeks.
Joost and Hulu have already been
streaming English-subtitled episodes of Naruto since last September. Joost, Hulu, Viz's own
Naruto.com site, and the
Crunchyroll site have also been
streaming subtitled episodes of the
Naruto Shippūden television sequel since the beginning of the year.
