Review of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
Yea, i love the Boruto manga, but the anime is a slop. Horrible pacing, inconsistent animation, and atrocious filler arcs. Read the manga if you genuinely want to enjoy the peak that Boruto has to offer, but you will not find that from the manga. A lot of people had high hopes for the Boruto anime, but unfortunately it fell victim to Studio Pierrot and their money grab of weekly episodes. Genuinely would have been far better had it been a seasonal anime and not just a load of filler crap. Pros: - Has enjoyable characters with some development from them, especially Boruto - Is more upbeat,so if you've read the manga, it could be enjoyable to watch the filler. Also if you're really young or have kids, they might like the continuation of Naruto
- Naruto is in it... so if you're nostalgic... go for it ig.
Mixed:
- Some find Boruto relatable, some find him annoying. If you break down his character, he has amazing development (especially in the manga). But, I think whether or not you'd really enjoy his character comes down to how you view him at first.
Cons:
- Genuinely the worst pacing filled with bad anime arcs
- Animation truly is rushed and inconsistent. There are maybe 5 episodes with good animation, everything else is weekly rushed animation style
- A lot of characters from Naruto just look sloppy or aren't written well. Once again, animation on them, especially Naruto, looks nasty. Just search up goblin Naruto and you'll understand.
TLDR:
Boruto, the main character, has great development, but the animation and pacing of the anime is atrocious. Filler arcs ruin the anime. If you're going to watch it, skip the filler and only watch manga canon episodes. If you want to actually enjoy Boruto and what the next generation of Naruto has to offer, read the manga, it's far better than the anime and is actually done really well.
