I'm just waiting for it to get serious.

I haven't seen anyone in danger yet so it feels kinda redundant. We're all waiting for Boruto to do something interesting and start on his own path, yet it feels like its moving at a snails pace to get there.

What worries me (it doesn't really worry, not like something serious) is that the "serious" ends up failing miserably, I will hardly be able to enjoy myself for watching it. The whole thing feels like shippuden filler..

Not manga-wise it’s not.

It is your opinion and it should be respected.

The Manga tone is different but the parallels are there and the lack of originality is starting to be cringeworthy. The pacing is torturous. For me, what really ends up saving it is this whole enigma regarding Boruto seal, its meaning and how it relates to Kara (This might not be enough for some).

They need to plan very carefully for the future because when all of this suspense disappears and answers are given, what will be left for the Manga? Will readers endure this pacing and actually wait for answers, or will they abandon it after two years of wait?

We are reaching a problematic point and the editors must be aware of it.

This is my opinion and like yours, I expect it to be respected.

If the manga was weekly we wouldn’t have a problem

Notice that this could be an issue for the consistency of the story. It seems that the writers need some time to plan things ahead and make things seem tight. The Manga needs to reach some sort of climax, I just expect it to be sooner than later.

I just don't know, maybe yes, maybe not.. They would split the manga into 20 pages instead of the monthly 40 but then what? Idk man. It looks like they are out of ideas for the future, after the answers regarding Boruto and Kara are given.

I agree. That's what I'm betting on anyway.

I can't really deal with the slow pacing + lack of excitement

Though it has potential, which keeps me going.

It lacks maturity above all. But it's not without hope. Doesn't look anything serious; another flaw. We need more characters like itachi and sasuke and lesser boruto show off style characters; all talk and no walk. If we've to put it in a percentage scenario boruto is the 98.9% reason people can't help but feel the show has zero hope even though it could've. Sarada is handling it all by herself and is one character who is at least a bit cool and attractive. These types of character need to arise for it to have a future.

It lacks correct pacing. It lacks real developments because of this.. I mean really the Ao arc is the biggest thing to happen action wise aside from Momo's attack that happened 2 years ago IMO. Still no seal or Jougan development. Still no hint of Kawaki. Still no real use of Mitsuki's SM. Sarada still has 1T..... Like build the story. Don't allude to it's potential like it hasn't even launched yet. I feel like I'm getting the most drawn out story pitch for a potential manga/anime rather than the actual manga/anime LOL.

All the characters are garbage and mean nothing unlike the way they did in the original. Boruto is boring, sarada is annoying and boring, the only person I like seeing at the moment is mitsuki. The side character's introduced are vomit inducing low budget copy paste, like the new swordsman, and kagura. And to make matters worse, the manga is progressing so slow it has to constantly borrow elements from the anime which is just sad. Hopefully it'll get better but until then it's a far cry from its parent series. Ao gives me hope tho because he's quite the villain.

The manga is too slow.

The anime is too fillerish.

I thought i was the only one who felt alot of the anime content was rehashed

It feels like were moving in circles.don't forget the rehash of the itachi speech on that save the bridge episode.everyones like oh look another bridge but itachis words to naruto were copy pasted

Why am i still watching it? Cuz i got hooked on the og naruto like 12 years ago maybe longer.naruto has been in my life longer than it hasn't (im 23)

I wish there would be more fights and more well-written villains.
And less filler episodes, not like in Naruto.

Great and interesting villains, originality. Boruto is a cash grab.

Lacks Maturity? We’re still didn’t even finish the first main arc of boruto . U can’t judge that

Till now we haven’t got any MAIN villain development in boruto. All villains we had up until now are side ones

Not at the pace we’re going, the monthly thing is one thing, but then the chapters themselves are so slow for 40 pages that by the time we get to anything important I just don’t care as much from so much waiting. Take this last chapter for example. It’s kinda lame to make
Us wait a month to see the ao fight just to see potentially half of what’s supposed to happen. This is how mangas are don’t get me wrong, but the pace coupled with the monthly releases are what kills it for me. The anime while ok, is still a bit snoozy for me. We’re what? How many episodes in and really nothing serious has been revealed outside of the jougan and toneris mentioning of borutos destiny(which we already knew). Those are the reasons why boruto is lacking imo

Yeah like i said before the problem is that boruto manga is monthly. if it was weekly our perspective would change
