Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

Nice seeing the class rep finally back in class. She’s actually a pretty interesting character after everything that happened. And the new villain introduction is intriguing, especially with the mention of Kaguya.

Things finally calm down after all the chaos. It’s nice seeing everyone safe again. Boruto’s eye is still really mysterious though, it feels like there’s a lot more to it than we know.

The mystery around the ghost incidents keeps building here. Small hints start showing up, making things feel a bit suspicious. It’s also nice seeing Boruto casually helping Iwabe when he’s confused while reading.

Things finally start moving when the culprit begins to show up. Watching Boruto and the others work together to track down the next shadow victim was pretty cool.

It’s always fun watching Boruto, Mitsuki, and Shikadai team up. Even though they end up causing more trouble than helping, their chemistry as a trio makes the episode pretty entertaining.

Boruto’s sparring match with Hanabi was fun to watch. It’s also nice finally seeing Boruto and Sarada work together a bit. Their chemistry is pretty entertaining and makes their scenes feel more lively.

It’s cool seeing Toneri show up again. The family moments are also really nice here, especially with Boruto, Himawari, and Hanabi. Those scenes were honestly pretty funny and wholesome.

This one feels pretty slow. It’s mostly small academy moments and doesn’t move the main story much, so it might feel skippable unless you enjoy the more casual, slice-of-life stuff with the characters.

The combo between Boruto, Shikadai, and Mitsuki is really fun to watch. Their teamwork flows surprisingly well. And seeing Shino finally step up again was a great moment.

For some reason Mitsuki is always interesting to watch. There’s something mysterious about him that makes every scene better. And Shino… man, poor Shino really tried his best as a teacher.

It’s pretty cool seeing how much Konoha has changed since Naruto’s time. Everything feels more modern now. Boruto’s introduction is also pretty funny, especially how casually he pulls off that crazy stunt right at the start.

Not sure if this counts as a spoiler but I'll mark it as one nonetheless. Technically watched, I got about halfway through before I dropped the series. It made it feel like all of Naruto's accomplishments were never even taken into account with how they had Boruto act. Honestly, it was a big let down for me and I couldn't continue watching it.

Worst thing ever for me. I couldn't even finish 1 episode.

Iloveit

Too much filler epsiodes

nstead of focusing on struggle and hardship from the start, the story begins in a more peaceful era. Boruto Uzumaki grows up with everything Naruto Uzumaki never had, which creates a unique conflict: not survival, but identity and expectations. This shift feels refreshing but can also feel less intense early on. The series shines when it dives into the main plot involving the Ōtsutsuki clan and karma powers. These arcs bring back high-stakes battles, strong emotional moments, and impressive animation quality. Characters like Kawaki add serious depth and become central to the story’s best moments. However, pacing is a major issue. A large number of anime-canon and filler episodes dilute the overall experience. Unlike Naruto Shippuden, where even slower arcs often felt meaningful, Boruto sometimes struggles to maintain consistency. That said, the animation during major fights is top-tier, and the modern ninja world—blending technology with traditional shinobi life—is an interesting evolution of the original concept. Overall, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is a mixed but worthwhile continuation. It may not reach the emotional heights of Naruto, but at its best, it delivers powerful moments and sets up a darker, more mature future.

Episode 65! wow I am off my seat the visuals the soundtrack and homage to many of the animes own throwbacks and actual pop culture references of martial arts. Proves to serve as a climatic end for the current arc and turning point for one of the main characters in the series.

Sarada's emotional exploration is deeply felt in this episode. Studio Pierrot masterfully portrays her identity crisis through exquisite cinematography. Her brief encounter with Sasuke is chillingly cold, yet it serves as a catalyst for crucial character development.

Such a heartwarming way to close the arc. Also, a cool way to tease the upcoming arc, including the real big bad of the show. Oh, one more thing, I know I've said this so many times already, but the Uzumaki family moment is always wholesome to see 🤌🏻

Should've expected Boruto would solve the problem just like his father always did lmao. But it still felt satisfying how all the problems in this arc wrapped up. I also really like how Sai handled the problem with a lot of empathy, showcasing his growth from the OG show.
