It really shows you how different each generation lived and what they went through. I liked pt 1 more, but I think Boruto is fine the way it is going.
These. Keep in mind this isn’t an age of war for Boruto and company. They didn’t have to worry about the stuff Naruto’s gen did. Villages aren’t out to get each other. And Kaguya and BZ with his ageless scheming are sealed away.It is not drop in quality. The two series were intentionally started with different tones to begin with.
Remember:
Naruto's class started out by graduating from the academy and actually becoming ninjas from the first episode.
Boruto's series started from their first day of the academy.
Cut Boruto some slack.
