The first episode of the Naruto anime aired on October 3, 2002. Can you believe that? It’s been 20 years already! Studio Pierrot commemorated the series by posting “Road to Naruto,” a video showing epic scenes from the series and reanimating some of them (check it out if you have time—it’s super cool and emotional). Artists are jumping into the fray, too, including Moka, who drew this warm illustration celebrating the milestone.
