It bears remembering, the series is over. Why do people expect the world out of Boruto when the anime currently resembles Naruto SD more than any Part 3.
I don't even really want a Part III and am more than happy with slice-of-life / Naruto action. Give me tournament arcs, new jutsu, new characters and likeable genin going on adventures in a post-War world. Character conflict is something Kishimoto got AMAZING at in the late-game and 9/10 it's far more investing than mindless action or another big invasion/war arc in the attempt to try out-do the cultural phenomenon Naruto. Why try out-do it? Accept it as trying to do it's own thing in a recognised, established world.
Boruto: Next Generations so far has a lot of problems, yes but just have more fun with it! We have new characters! New designs and main/side cast people is a luxury we haven't had in ages on NB but until someone busts out a Chakra Avatar nobody cares about new characters to wank or start liking? It's a waste of new material, man.
Characters announcing other character's personality traits in detail treats the audience like they're morons but I for one am loving the small scale. Maybe it's just because I really loved Boruto: The Movie but I see no problem in retracing the Genin part 1 days with more likeable characters than we had at this point in part 1.
I'm not saying Boruto is great- because it's really not yet, even Boruto is still a bland archetype Naruto clone (since it's set before the movie where the majority of his interesting development takes place) but maybe before reading/watching any more...remember that Naruto ended on November 10th 2014.
We're lucky for whatever we get. SD was heart-felt & great in it's own identity and there's nothing wrong with smaller stories if you're not a power wanker.
