The current Naruto symphonic concert tour aims to ruin the experience of watching the anime at home (in a good way)
Once you've had your favorite anime's music blared at you by a live orchestra, it is hard to go back to your TV at home.

If you’ve never experienced your favorite music performed by a full orchestra, it is hard to explain just how overwhelming the experience can be. The wall of sound that hits you is greater than you can find anywhere else in the world. As Naruto: The Symphonic Experience makes its way across the US and Canada, the show’s conductor warns that it could change how you view Naruto forever.
“There’s something special about seeing a show you know and love and have grown up with and then being immersed in the music of it live,” explains Emily Marshall, the conductor of Naruto: The Symphonic Experience since it started its run across North America this spring. “I know that I’ve had audience members tell me once they see a show in this way, they don’t ever want to go back to just watching it on a small screen in their homes. It’s incredibly exciting to see this genre grow and I think it is only going to get bigger as other shows see the successes of these types of concerts.”
Concerts like these are becoming more popular. Distant Worlds has been bringing the music of Final Fantasy to the grandest stages for more than a decade and last year One Piece fans got to hear the music of the hit anime played by a live symphony as part of the 25th anniversary of the anime. Naruto: The Symphonic Experience brings live music from across all 220 episodes of the original Naruto series, with the hopes of ruining watching the anime at home for Naruto fans (in a good way).
"In the ninja world, those who don't follow rules are trash." as Obita Uchiha once said. And while we can't say these are rules, they are the king things you'll want to read next about Naruto:
