New information about a brand-new installment of the hit ninja anime “NARUTO” will be revealed worldwide on October 10 (local time, Naruto’s birthday) during the “NARUTO: What’s Next?” special stage at New York Comic Con 2026. The same day will also bring details on the “NARUTO Card Game,” set for release in 2027. On 5ch, a question — “Is it really that popular overseas? Doesn’t seem like it in Japan” — sparked a discussion covering the gap between Naruto’s huge overseas popularity and its cooler reception at home, opinions on the anime’s filler arcs, and calls for the show to stick more closely to the manga.

What people said
Turns out he was elite all along, believe it!
Wonder how the filler's gonna be this time.
Wasn't like 80% of the Naruto anime filler to begin with?
It's insanely popular over there
Probably the #1 anime of all time
Apparently blond hair and blue eyes go over well with foreign audiences
Trump even used a Naruto meme edit once, remember? lol
Japan's really done for
You know it, believe it!!!!!!! (mimicking Naruto's catchphrase "dattebayo")
Re: #16
Guess it's the ninja thing. Personally I think Gintama or Jujutsu Kaisen are more fun though.
so why not
Feel bad for the kids in Japan
but it's not like that many people actually read it in Japan
The overseas popularity is wild
Probably clicked because it's got that Harry Potter vibe — making friends at school and
growing up together
Plus the characters are just cool
That's pretty early on lol
A big part of what made NARUTO great was how good the opening themes were, so if those are weak it'll drag the whole thing down
but eventually it turned into just trading jutsu back and forth and lost that spark
and this is a pathetic country that can only make anime
Being able to make anime across such a wide range of genres, from toddler shows to adult stuff, is genuinely impressive though
What decade are you writing from, looking down on anime like that?
That Odyssey movie will be forgotten in a few years
but Naruto's still gonna be loved in 10 years, by the adults who grew up on it and the kids of the future lol
Background and Key Points of Discussion
A notable feature of this announcement is that it’s being made at an overseas event, New York Comic Con — in recent years, more and more popular titles like “ONE PIECE” and “Dragon Ball” have timed their new information reveals to overseas events. The original article only mentions a “brand-new anime,” without clarifying whether it centers on Naruto himself, adapts manga material that hasn’t been animated yet, or tells an entirely new story. The thread also raised the question of whether this is really about Naruto rather than his son Boruto — that will have to wait for more details on October 10. Many commenters claimed Naruto is “more popular overseas,” but it’s worth noting this is based on personal impressions rather than any concrete sales or viewership figures presented in the thread.
