Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

I'm 67 episodes into the series, and it rates a solid 7/10 for me so far. The main story develops at a slow pace, but it does steadily develop and climax with beautifully animated battles and emotionally-touching interactions. Some of the episodes drag on too long or focus on side-stories that aren't very interesting, but it all adds up in the end. However, I understand the criticisms about the story.

I don't understand much of the other criticisms though. Some complain that Boruto doesn't embody the same spirit as Naruto, while others complain that it's too similar. Without giving spoilers, the story that's told is one where the older generation of ninja deal with protecting a world at peace, and the younger generation try to live up to their parents despite maturing in a very different environment. Each character, old and young, grapples with the path they choose to follow. In this way, it is very similar to the original series. And yes, a lot of the old jutsus are passed down, but there are also improvements and totally new ones. In a lot of ways it feels like a continuation of Naruto, but in other ways it is a completely different show, and I think that has some people confused.

If you want Naruto 2.0, Boruto isn't it. If you want a completely new experience, Boruto isn't it either. If you go into the show without expecting it to be one way or the other, you may enjoy its carefully-crafted story like I have.

Ever since the Mujina Bandits, Kara and Kawaki arc started, Boruto has started to become really good. Manga Canon episodes are simply 🔥🔥. Just skip the fillers even Naruto had tons of fillers, and most of them were bad. Just skip them.

Recently finished watching all the aired episodes so far (154). I see most of the Naruto fans are disappointed in this "next generations" show. But what we have seen in 154 episodes should be just the tip of the iceberg. Let's not forget the fact that this show takes place in a much different era where the majority of adult ninjas try to keep the world peaceful. Ninja vs. peace? It may sound like a bad idea, but if this show is going to run for years like Naruto did, I'd say wait until the story develops more layers. So far, it's been 8/10 for me and I rated Naruto 10/10. Boruto and his friends are just spoiled kids of peace and prosperity who haven't seen any major hardship, or turning points in their lives yet.

I can't wait to see the episodes accumulate until I start watching this show again.

You can notice the all recent rewiews are 9/10 only the old ones are bad, because the story started slow, characters needed buildup, but now its getting better and better.

I like the series as there is different story line where boruto want to became like Sasuke and sarada want to became like Naruto. I am interested in watching what they became and the next generation is also different as compared to old leaf village and I also like the children of all characters
