The TVI Take

Masashi Kishimoto's manga adapted by Studio Pierrot, one of the longest-running shōnen anime in the medium's history. The structural commitment to character-development arcs across hundreds of episodes is the rare long-form anime achievement; the Itachi-Sasuke backstory reveal is one of the most carefully-constructed antagonist-rationale sequences in the genre.

Filler-heavy in places but the canonical arcs are the franchise's enduring contribution.
