I believe Boruto should be reviewed based on what it offers instead of making comparisons with its prequel. Of course, for fans of Naruto, seeing old characters that you love cross over would definitely have a high impact on how you enjoy this show. So, where does Boruto stand as an anime of its own. I'm not gonna lie to you, not very good. In fact, it's really bad.
I honestly, REALLY tried to love this show, I kept waiting for when it'll become good, but after 11 episodes it didn't happen and I just had to drop it. Here are my reasons;
Characters : there's no
...
originality in the new cast. You'll notice this easily if you've seen Naruto. Let me start with the MC; Boruto, our protag-kun is perhaps the most obnoxious brat I've ever seen in an anime, and like Naruto, he keeps mouthing off about how he'll do big things. What's even more annoying is he has a loving mother and sister and a father that works hard to keep them safe, and yet, he causes mischief, skips school and keeps trying to be at loggerheads with his dad, finding very little excuses to be a brat. Moving on, we have carbon copies from the prequel, in that shikamarus kid Shikadai looks and acts like him and is a genius as well YAY!!! Sai's son Inoji is very insensitive just like his dad when he meets people and says what's on his mind without thinking, Metal Lee as passionate as Rock Lee... You get the drift. So, what if you haven't seen Naruto, are these characters still interesting... Well they should be, but the execution is done poorly. It seems the producers developed them with the fact that we've seen the prequel in mind. There aren't any good reasons why they act like the way they do, all we get is they are like their parents.
Art: Okay at best, I don't really mind what the anime looks like, as long as it delivers a solid story well.
Sound: Not memorable
Enjoyment: The story takes too long to unfold and that can be extremely frustrating. In fact you can say it only moves forward at the last 3-4mins of the show when Boruto isn't chasing some purple ghost around town. The concept however seems nice and might be worth it if you're as patient as Job.
Overall: Boruto is just your average shounen anime, with a loud mouthed MC, unoriginal characters and slow,slow, sloooooow pacing

“There is no one in the world who is better than anyone else. Even if you come across someone so dazzling that he has ten times, hundred times the power of everyone else…You mustn’t entrust everything to him. Because there’s no one in this world who can live without making mistakes” …Lord Magomett
I will be reviewing both seasons of this anime in my review. When I started watching this anime, I gave it a score of 7, as the show progressed I bumped up the score to 8, I finally ended up giving it a 9. In other words, this is an anime that just

keeps getting better and better as the show progresses.
One of the things i really like about Magi, is that it not only has an interesting story, but that story is told well. The world of Magi is vast and an interesting one that touches on several elements like slavery, politics, even racism. The characters are not bland or boring, and as you journey with some of them, you see how they grow and develop. Magi isn't all about a bunch of serious characters, always looking like they just woke up and going on quests around the world to become stronger...Lol, sorry, but this anime can get really goofy at times, and i appreciate it. The sound is the only lacking department of this anime in my opinion. It's ok but not great, but I found a couple of soundtracks i really enjoyed (Season 2 ED by 9ine is noteworthy).
All in all, i really enjoyed this anime. Can't wait for Sinbad's arc which is airing next month this year.
Thanks for reading, have a good day :)

Hi guys, first of all, let me start by saying i initially HATED the idea of one punch man. When I saw the title I was like "what??? they cant be serious" and then I looked it up and was even more suprised to see it was really as the title meant. I felt it was just lazy writing.
After watching a few episodes, OPM is easily one of the most enjoyable shows to come across. Its simple.
Story: If you're looking for a story, there's not much to expect from OPM. However, the world of OPM is quite vast and extends beyond our MC saitama.
...
There are several other elements of the show that makes it interesting such as the heroes association and what motivates people such as our MC to become heroes as well as the trials of being a super hero.
Art: A major plus for OPM, you can tell a lot of effort went into this anime. It is over flashy in the fight scenes though but still cool (IMO anyway)
Sound: The ost is nice. I love the opening theme song. There are a few memorable soundtracks as well and they are all well implemented to suit the mood. Voice acting is good as well.
Characters : The characters in OPM are much and interesting. Many characters are even more interesting than the MC himself and I'm curious to know more about them, and thats a major problem here. The characters dont get enough development and many of them have been introduced quickly. I know 12 episodes might be too small to ask for that, but so far only saitama and his apprentice genos have had some form of back stories like why they chose to be heroes. The villains have no backstory whatsoever (who can blame them, they'll be destroyed soon enough with one punch) except that humans are inferior and they want to destroy our planets blah, blah, blah...
Enjoyment: The major reason why this show is such a huge hit. Its entertaining. They did a good job making a show with such a simple concept very funny. OPM is funny not just bcos of how easily he defeats his enemies, but bcos of how well it is executed. The characters are entertaining to watch and the fight scenes are awesome.
Overall: OPM isn't a serious anime, and it doesnt intend to be, but if you're looking for something simple and VERY enjoyable, I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you for reading

Okay, there comes a time when you might begin to take animes too seriously. You see yourself overthinking events that occur or you take characters words seriously and begin to reflect on them. This eventually becomes REALLY tiring later on.I took Beelzebub as a breadth of fresh air from all this seriousness and I found meself VERY entertaining and relaxing anime.
You must have read the synopsis, so you can guess what its about. The execution however is amazing!!! Surprisingly, this anime develops a really nice plot as the show progresses and there are tons of funny moments to keep you smiling throughout half the show.
