Boruto is absolute horse shit imo. Watch a few episodes and decide for yoursef. I check up on it every few months or so because I love Naruto, and Shippuden to death.

Boruto is fine. The people who say it's horrible are being ridic subjective.

Boruto isn't Naruto 3. It's not about Naruto and his friends anymore, all of which are side-characters now. Which disappoints people who just want more of Naruto (and Sasuke and the gang).

Boruto also isn't Naruto Rebooted. It doesn't fix all the things wrong with late Naruto Shippuden, it doesn't throw overboard all the thematic developments over the course of the Naruto series. Which disappoints people who really just want to be watching Attack on Titan but set in the Naruto universe.

Over on r/naruto there's people doing survey's and keeping track of every episode: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m8kxNBrGqGIXrx4JVjuKbFfhKN45sLxyQQx6EjVoyQg/edit#gid=0

As you can see in those graphs, it's just fine. There's a plenty of episodes fans really love, there's also plenty of episodes people think are mediocre to terrible. For a series already 80+ episodes in that's just fine. And don't be fooled, there are plenty of fans still watching Boruto, just because it's not the phenomenon Naruto was doesn't mean it's not popular.

What Boruto is, is Boruto. It's a sequel to Naruto which changes up some things, while keeping others the same. If that sounds like what you want after finishing Shippuden, you should ignore the haters and go watch it. If you feel that after 700+ episodes of Naruto you just want more of the same, or alternatively you just want something completely different, you're probably going to be disappointed. But if you watched all that you probably owe it to yourself to make your own judgment on Boruto. (Though, imo, if you give up on it you'll miss out on some great moments and really worthwhile stuff.)

88 Boruto episodes and so far no. The movie tho was good.

Plz do not watch it. I have been a fan of naruto from day one, I have watched and read the manga for all of naruto and shippuden.

But boruto is beyond trash and garbage. Just please do not watch it, it will just ruin the perfect note that shippuden ended on.

I stopped watching it because of the fillers. The manga is pretty nice even though by now it is pretty slow and short. I have some problems with the anime, like how all the efforts of the Naruto generation are just being surpassed by kids with no effort at all, it's basically a bad joke.

No it's awful. It has absolutely zero depth of character.

No. Do not listen to the people telling you to read the manga instead either. The manga is shit. The ONLY thing worth watching is the Naruto Sasuke vs Momo fight and that’s it.

Everything you loved is turned into something you hate

No

No.

Not worth watching. I'm almost through it and I almost would rather go to the dentist.

Worth reading

Nope

No

Read Naruto up to Pain when it was the lastest chapters. Boruto is for adults with kids now and want to share their love if that Universe.  It's really not for adults or fans of Naruto 

Here's my response to someone else who asked recently:

I think Boruto is actually really enjoyable. There are a lot of similar themes without it being a total rehash of the OG series. The pacing is quite different, so keep that in mind. It's just best to remember that Boruto is the main character, so you need to watch through his perspective and imagine it as it's own standalone series. Definitely watch it! :)

It’s getting better but is nowhere near Naruto’s level.

Average to good. I definitely think it's good for the majority part.

I think it's worth the watch just to see the old gen characters but even without it, it's building upto something good.

My recommendations, watch ep1-15, 17-24, 32-37, 38-39 then skip to ep50, keep watching from there. You can still watch them all but imo these are the only episodes worth watching.

Yes absolutely. To both questions. Start at episode 1 and come join us in the weekly discussion when you're caught up!

I personally find Boruto to be quite average. There are good moments here and there, for example in the arc that just ended, but I'd say it's pretty medicore for the most part. If you have some free time and wonder what old gen's kids might be up to, then I'd say go for it. Neither the anime nor the manga are anything spectacular to me, however I often enjoy new episodes so who knows - perhaps you will as well.

yes when you skip anime canon arcs it is great adaptation and also the only essential anime canon saga I recommend is academy saga which is a prequel to versus momoshiki arc a first manga arc of boruto but this anime canon saga adds a lot to the story and especially characterization of new gen members that is done better than the manga introduction, and then after this you can skip anime canon arcs since they are meh or below meh and add nothing to the story, and when you skip them is basically watching like seasonal anime with in total of 60 manga canon episodes.

It is worth watching if you want to appreciate how good Naruto really is

Yeah, though I’d recommend reading it. I original watched like 5 episodes back in 2020, then dropped it cuz i thought it was boring and Boruto was really annoying. The manga is pretty quick paced, Boruto is really only annoying for the first 5ish chapters and that’s it.

But if you’re gonna decide to watch the anime, just watch manga canon & some anime canon episodes

Nope. But def worth reading imo. The anime adds so much bs i literally couldn’t take it seriously. When I started reading the manga it hit me just how cool the story actually is

It’s worth reading.

So op I’m going to say this in a non malicious and non jaded way - as unbiased as I can.

• The series starts off slow - especially if you’re someone who started from Naruto. If someone was totally new to the franchise, it could be more interesting. Given you have background - you’re going to find a lot lackluster. You don’t even get past the movie until much later in the series.

• It’s hard to like Boruto as a character when you start as a Naruto fan because he’s Naruto polar opposite - from the boy who had nothing to the boy who has everything (except a dad whose available).

• Again - totally new to the universe? People will understand Boruto better. Naruto vet? You’ll think he’s a brat because he doesn’t get the attention he wants from his dad (again - Naruto had it much worse).

• The story is less interesting because we have these top tier characters that can defeat any opponent. Plus - a lot of what Boruto and his team learn just doesn’t hold the weight that Naruto’s story did.

• Finally, the most important piece - if you try Boruto and enjoy it that’s perfectly fine! You should and make your own opinion.

Personally - I’m waiting for another series to pique my interest more and reading the manga passively. But would I recommend it? Probably not.

The boruto manga is fairly good, two blue vortex is an improvement imo. the boruto anime you need to watch with the reminder to yourself that its the manga, a monthly manga, is meant to cover the more direct exact story, while the anime is meant to explore the wider boruto world and relationship building and going on more side missions. a lot of people dont like the filler specifically because it takes away from the direct story, but i really think it depends on what type of anime you like consuming, a lot of boruto might not be worth watching.

Manga is okay. Anime is a weird mix of slice of life and "shit on every character you used to love from Naruto".

Not to mention the Boruto fanboys who try to downvote and bully you when you have something to critique about it lol.

I like Boruto. It’s not Naruto. But it is a fun watch, and has some decent character development and storylines.

People just hate on it because they’re comparing it to Naruto where the villages hated each other and was a time of wars. Whereas Boruto is in a time of peace.

Personally yes. But if you don't like it avoid influencing other people with your opinion.

Nah people just like to hate on stuff.. Give it a try and see if you like it

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit

If you are a fan of Naruto and would like to continue seeing the development of the Naruto world, then yes, watch/read it

Id say to watch it and yes it still requires patience but I'd suggest you to not skip any episodes like a lot of folks do. I feel like that's a part of the show to enjoy the overall experience.

if you want, you can watch just manga canon episodes, you can use this

No it’s not. For a show called Boruto it’s only good when Naruto and Sasuke is on screen.

watch the canon episodes and if you like them then watch the filler
