For the most part, a huge let down, and a substantial downgrade in quality from what Kishimoto built ground up, a universe that previously had a lot to explore but now has been regressed to a one-dimensional narrative that can't stop jerking off to the Jougan. There's a ton of things I could say about the series, amongst the fact Boruto is the Gohan of this series that we never wanted... Mostly because he can't wear those boots (pun intended). They got us hooked with the future flash forward but even the magic in that won't hold out if they keep slacking this series with unmoving content. We're like 60 episodes in and there's still no substantial plot or anything that the series could say it's grounded on and could expand in later arcs, there's no foresight at all, and the writers seemingly just write for the few episodes because they're extremely aware of how the fans are piqued by habit, and would put up with about anything on the rubbish side as long as Sasuke and Naruto's heads are reered in between all the bs. In summation, it's a cash cow, and nothing more than a means for Kishimoto to have a golden casket and more digits into his account he'll have euphorically obtained from our unsuspecting fanism. Series bs and yeah, I could be as habitually hooked as every other fan is, and it's mostly because I made the grand mistake of wanting to see how Sarada and Mitsuki will grow in their powers and whether Mitsuki will keep wrecking ass and whether Sarada is indeed an Itachi revival in feminine form. Anyway, I don't really care how it bodes in ranking or whether it spirals down into shit-hood like I'm expecting, though I'll always hang around to peek into the aforementioned progress, unless someone is willing to write me progress reports so I wouldn't have to torture eyes watching what won't become more than a shell of the old series.
