What happened
An X account called el.cine (@EHuanglu), describing itself as an AI consultant and film director, posted a short video clip on August 15 with the caption "Best Naruto episode made with AI." The post was labeled only "Made with AI," without specifying which generative model or production tool was used. The clip featured scenes with characters resembling Naruto and Hinata from the original series, and it drew more than 5,000 views within hours, generating reactions. Comments included exclamations like "this is insane," as well as remarks pointing out specific details in the scene, such as "why is Hinata looking at her brother like that."
What this is about
Videos that recreate existing anime or TV IP using AI have become increasingly common on social media in recent times. Following examples such as a parody video that reimagined the sitcom "The Office" with characters from the game Rocket League, a trend has continued in which fans use AI tools trained on the appearance and speech patterns of original characters to create and share new scenes. Such videos are typically made without permission from the original creators or studios, and the models used are often left undisclosed. El.cine's post follows the same pattern, sharing the finished result without explaining the production process or tools used. That said, given that the poster describes themselves as both a film director and AI consultant, there is room to read this as an application of commercial video production experience to a personal project.
Why this matters
This single post isn't enough to judge the performance of any specific model or the production techniques involved. Still, the fact that a short AI-recreated video featuring familiar characters' faces and movements can draw thousands of views within hours—and prompt detailed fan reactions—shows strong incentive for this kind of content to keep spreading. As more videos featuring copyrighted original characters emerge, debate is likely to grow around posts that don't disclose the tools or sources used to make them.
