Nah if was bs having it active or inactive doesn't matter.

Since when was one punch enough to realistically knock somebody out in this show? They take collisions with walls and shuriken are nothing. Characters take fatal hits and brush it off! Neji got cheated, shouldve been the first time Nruto used rasengan.

I kind of agree, Naruto stuff tends to be a cut above the competition when it comes to commercial anime releases; but I think the anime rendition of the events is going to blow the movie out of the water, i just have a good feeling.

It handled itself like an actual piece of cinema with nuance and themes, cinematography and subtlety. As opposed to the other Naruto movies, which are competently made...but basically uniform. Basically just treated like the rest of the serialised anime.

Only Chikara and Boruto have unique character and stand out as ACTUAL films. The rest could just be anime arcs.

Naruto anime has all the stuff you mentioned, subtlety, characters, etc. I loved the movie, but it wasn't as great as say End of Evangelion, but I think parts of the Naruto anime and manga were.

Shippuden? Nahhhh. It's not often got the time to try subtlety or explore character in a cinematic way. Boruto "shows, not tells" whilst commercial anime often has it's characters openly expressing their situation and shouting about the themes at play.

There's definitely subtler moments though like you said. Obito's defeat, Shikamaru's grieving after Asuma's death and Chikara come to mind. End of Eva though? Good taste.

Subtlety comes to mind like Orochimaru's whole character in part one how he has no motive just likes to "make the windmill turn" and all his quotes and interactions with his "pupils". Very subtle and very creepy guy. Naruto is full of subtle imagery and symbolism if you look closely also. Lots of christian symbolism with Orochimaru, Pain, and the 10 tails.

Mmmm I mean more symbolism that tells and furthers the story.

I always thought boruto was a lot different than other naruto movies as well(even the last) as it was actually a decent movie. It’s almost as if they weren’t entirely sure if the whole boruto franchise was gonna pop off, cause honestly you can end the story of naruto after boruto and be fine, it would of been just a cool lil movie to show how things where in the future for our heroes

Standalone and also a perfect ending to a 15 yr old series. Crazy ambitious. Great film.

One thing I hate about the Boruto Anime series is that the writing quality doesn't even come close to the Boruto Movie in terms of themes and character development, it makes it a bit underwhelming honestly.

Sumire's backstory came close, but the overall resolution felt really reminiscent of Naruto Part 2's style of forgive and forget, TNJ is such a cop out. I'm a bigger fan of character's seeing their wrongs for themselves and changing afterwards.


And I fear that the Anime team won't be able to replicate the Boruto Movie well to Kishimoto's standards. The Manga's version was pretty mediocre too.

I feel similarly. And that anime adaptation? After the manga, movie and video game...I'm so down for them to not even try.

Don't make thread like this telling you this by my experience. I had 2 accounts back in 2014 from 2015 but I get banned because of posting videos on my threads.

Then don't spam them and actually encourage conversation rather than advertising yourself. I've been here quite a bit longer, video threads are more fun to make.
