The anime was popular with Japanese readers of Charapedia who voted it the ninth best anime
show of Spring 2017.[32] IGN writer Sam Stewart enjoyed the focus of the new generation of
ninjas and their differences from the previous generation, praising the return of other characters
like Toneri as well as famous "Eye Techniques".[33] Crunchyroll's Naruto expert and Brand
Manager, Victoria Holden, joined once to discuss whether Next Generations could live up to the
success of the old series while still reviewing previous episodes of the series.[34] Stewart enjoyed
the characterization of both Shikadai Nara and Metal Lee seeing their relationship and accidental
fight as interesting to watch, and that Next Generations managed to improve itself with each
episode.[35] Beveridge enjoyed the series' first episode, remarking he felt Boruto's characterization
was superior to the one from the manga.[36] In a more comical article, Geek.com writer Tim
Tomas compared Boruto with the series The Legend of Korra as, while sharing themes with its
prequels, they were still different.[37] Sarah Nelkin considered Boruto as a more lighthearted
version of Naruto series but Amy McNulty from ANN acclaimed its 13th episode for the focus on a
subplot that has been developing ever since its first episode and how the revelation of it made the
series darker.[38][39] Stewart agreed with McNulty, commenting on how the developers reached
the climax of the anime's first story arc as well as the characterization of the revealed villain which
impressed the reviewer.[40] Allega Frank from Polygon noted that during the start of both the
manga and anime, multiple fans were worried in regards to a flashforward; in this sequence an
older Boruto is facing an enemy named Kawaki who implies Naruto might be dead so his fate left
them worried.[41]
