It bears remembering, the series is over. Why do people expect the world out of Boruto when the anime currently resembles Naruto SD more than any Part 3.

I don't even really want a Part III and am more than happy with slice-of-life / Naruto action. Give me tournament arcs, new jutsu, new characters and likeable genin going on adventures in a post-War world. Character conflict is something Kishimoto got AMAZING at in the late-game and 9/10 it's far more investing than mindless action or another big invasion/war arc in the attempt to try out-do the cultural phenomenon Naruto. Why try out-do it? Accept it as trying to do it's own thing in a recognised, established world.

Boruto: Next Generations so far has a lot of problems, yes but just have more fun with it! We have new characters! New designs and main/side cast people is a luxury we haven't had in ages on NB but until someone busts out a Chakra Avatar nobody cares about new characters to wank or start liking? It's a waste of new material, man.
Characters announcing other character's personality traits in detail treats the audience like they're morons but I for one am loving the small scale. Maybe it's just because I really loved Boruto: The Movie but I see no problem in retracing the Genin part 1 days with more likeable characters than we had at this point in part 1.

I'm not saying Boruto is great- because it's really not yet, even Boruto is still a bland archetype Naruto clone (since it's set before the movie where the majority of his interesting development takes place) but maybe before reading/watching any more...remember that Naruto ended on November 10th 2014.

We're lucky for whatever we get. SD was heart-felt & great in it's own identity and there's nothing wrong with smaller stories if you're not a power wanker.

Just some nostalgic people who can't deal with the fact that Naruto and Sasuke are over, their relevance in the series is limited now.

Kind of ironic that you want a slice of life, but that's what Naruto SD is. Haha


Anyway I disagree. I feel like the story is tame, and I've enjoyed the episodes thus far. It's light, school stuff, mixed with factors that add spice too it.

It's the first arc so I didn't really expect much to begin with. But I'm liking the deeper interpretations of the next generation, since it takes place before the Movie.

Next episode should be fun! I don't think anyone is supposed to take the first arc that serious. It's just for fun IMO

No irony! I loved Naruto SD and I appreciate it for being it's own thing more than my love for the slice of life genre. Boruto is like a baby boy to me- i'll support it in whatever it wants to do with it's life as long as it doesn't try one-up his old man.

I actually seem to agree with you, it's got a bunch of flaws but as a whole i'm a fan. I think it's just the pre-Boruto time period I dislike, rather than the show. After 2-3 years of Madara/Kaguya nonsense, i'd take any 'light' character-driven material I can.

I think we have 2 episodes left before the academy arc is done. But tbh I dont think we are going to be dealing with post-movie characters..

Gaidens should be next.
Fillers will probably be incoming
And the WORST IDEA EVER, Boruto Movie rehash 3.0 please don't happen.

I might have to stop watching for a few months because of the waste of time

you mean like izanami loop that fodderized Kabuto????????

Never heard that one before! Neither do I care, Kabuto was a villain that had to be defeated.

Tobidara on the other hand? How do you defeat a villain if they don't exist |:

I'd take the animated Gaidens happily, hell even an animated Kakashi or Sakura hiden would do me find. Looool try integrate that, Boruto. (Bad Pitch: Boruto and the gang find old man Kakashi who gives them a storytime of the day he did 'Die Hard' on a blimp)

A Boruto 3:33 You Can (Not) Redo movie-rehash results in me insta-dropping the series and revisiting it out of curiousity a year or two later. It's that bad for me, seeing it again in Storm alone made me sick of it...and I didn't even follow the manga version.

sd was fodder

SD was charming asf, full of good character moments and was confident in being it's own thing.

It's anime also had a better ending than Shippuden did.

Why would you want an action/adventure manga to turn into a slice of life manga? If you like slice of life stuff go read one of those stories.

I can't stomach the Boruto Movie again dude.

The thought of it makes my insides wanna burst, like I ate something bad.
