History[]
Inspired by the works of TeamFourStar with Dragon Ball Z Kai: Abridged, Naruto: Full Arc Abridged takes the concept to the next level by succinctly abridging an entire story arc (with some notable exceptions) into a single release.
Naruto: Full Arc Abridged was first conceptualised in the mid-2010's by cosmovsgoku during production of FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood the Abridged Series (TheFMABridged by The Brotherhood), and for years he pondered the question: could it be done?
On the 10th of January 2020, it was proven that it could be done, and Journeyman Abridged haven't looked back since.
Production[]
Naruto: Full Arc Abridged began writing in February 2019, with recording beginning in June 2019. Editing for Episode 1 began September 2019, and the first episode released in January 2020.
Journeyman Abridged first announced Naruto: Full Arc Abridged on October 10th 2019.
The series was primarily written by cosmovsgoku, with notes and adjustments contributed by impolitebi and TwstdFlaems. Scripts are written to the manga, with some exceptions: the movies, the anthology episodes, the OVAs, and Episode 9 (which was written almost entirely by TwstdFlaems).
On May 27th 2020, Journeyman Abridged announced that Naruto Shippuden: Full Arc Abridged had begun planning and production.

Trivia[]
- Naruto: Full Arc Abridged was originally going to be the second project produced by Journeyman Abridged, however one of the key cast members for Digimon Adventure: Full Arc Abridged spent much of the production cycle for that project travelling internationally, so Digimon Adventure: Full Arc Abridged was postponed, with Naruto: Full Arc Abridged getting pushed up in it's place.
- Naruto Shippuden: Full Arc Abridged will serve as a direct sequel to Naruto: Full Arc Abridged, and will release in January 2025.
