Synopsis

As the son of the most powerful ninja alive, Boruto Uzumaki honestly couldn't care less. While everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village idolizes his dad, Naruto, Boruto just wants his father to show up to dinner once in a while. That resentment drives him to carve out his own identity at the Ninja Academy, where he teams up with Sarada Uchiha — Sasuke and Sakura's daughter, naturally — and Mitsuki, who is literally an artificial human created by Orochimaru. The village itself has changed too; smartphones and computers exist alongside jutsu now, which creates this weird tension between tradition and progress that the show actually handles in interesting ways. Early on, Boruto starts manifesting a strange eye ability no one recognizes, and a dark force begins targeting students at the academy. The setup is slower and more slice-of-life than you might expect from a 293-episode TV series by Studio Pierrot, but that groundwork matters once the stakes ramp up. If you grew up with Naruto and want to see what happened to everyone's kids, this scratches that itch. The dynamic also reminds me of Black Clover's underdog energy, except Boruto's problem isn't lacking power — it's figuring out who he is when his dad already saved the world. Fans of Hunter x Hunter's exam arcs will find some of that same team-building tension here. It's a next-generation story that actually earns the label.

Too much filler epsiodes

fahmi12★★★★☆Anime1 mo

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.

Episode 293 delivers a shocking finale as Kawaki kills Boruto to protect Naruto, leaving the Hokage devastated. The emotional weight of Naruto’s grief contrasts with Kawaki’s ruthless resolve, while Code’s retreat sets up the darker tone for Part 2.
