"The Sequel No One Asked For But Still Got" There ARE people who are enjoying this show! I think the show itself fits/reflects the transition into the time of peace very nicely. If it's not for you, it's not for you, but I just definitely wouldn't go into Boruto thinking it'll be the same as Naruto. The parallels that happen between the two shows also makes it a fun watch! The kids are all so cute and it's cool to see them utilizing the combined abilities they inherited from their parents. Additionally, it's great to see the happy grown-up Naruto characters, finally living their dreams or having peaceful lives after the war with their families. His abilities and growing powers leaves me really excited for what is to come in the future. In the end, Boruto is just a kind and lovable kid with his own ninja way of never abandoning his friends and goal of becoming a powerful ninja who can one day assist the Hokage. To realize how fortunate he is in contrast with his dad's lonely and sad upbringing and grows out of the wanting acknowledgement / attention phase, especially as he starts to admire Sasuke who protects from the shadows.

However, through various events, Boruto does finally come This greatly contrasts Naruto's childhood, so I understand why people could initially write Boruto off as just a spoiled brat. Sure, some of the arcs and fillers are BORING, but the main characters and ultimate storyline are super fun and interesting!!īoruto is a natural-born genius with lots of friends and a loving family. I have caught up to the recent 155 episodes and have to say I really really love this show. I almost never write reviews, but the low ratings from disillusioned Naruto fans that only have watched 30 episodes have become a bit much for me. Check out the manga but avoid the anime at all costs! The anime is mostly not based on the manga but is instead anime canon (I don't know why?). Update: I have been reading the Boruto manga for a while now and it is good. The fight scenes areĪll boring to watch with no real cost to their outcome and kids who aren't even genin yet beat jounin level shinobi constantly.Īs someone who's watched Naruto and Naruto Shipudden, I have to say I'm disappointed. As the main character, 80% of his identity is the fact that he "hates" his dad, Naruto. It feels like the story is just bumbling on and skipping any of the episodes will have resulted in me missing nothing.īoruto (the character) is the worst part of it all. The animation is atrocious half of the time and there is zero plot development. I can't believe that it took me 31 episodes before I finally accepted how awful it is.īoruto tries to capitalise on Naruto nostalgia but has nothing going for it.
