| its more insulting than the long ass fillers in shippuden. may i ask why people keep watching it? |
 |
| The characters are lovely. The game is now available on steam. |
| idk i guess I watch it for the nostalgia since Naruto was my first anime to support (I was like 7 HAHAHAHA), and I do like the characters. It does have a lot of fillers, but have you seen Gintama? LOL Gintama is my super fave and it has more fillers than Boruto. |
   I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean. |
| Only because I like the characters tbh. |

| Because doujinshis of Sarada are masterwork. |

| Because its entertaining and has good characters |

Swagernator said: Isnt like every non serious episode in Gintama a filler tho ? Are you joking? Either way, no. Gintama is a comedy for the most part. |
| If you read even just a few chapters of the Gintama manga you'll probably notice immediately that the anime is less filler than you would think. Although it doesn't help that the series starts off with filler eps to try and introduce the bulk of the cast immediately. As for Boruto I really want to like the series, since I've been a huge Naruto fan since elementary school. But I really just can't get into it. I've watched ~15 eps and I don't like the plots of a lot of the episodes, which is a shame because I actually do like the characters. I think I'll give it another try in the future after a long-break, but for now I can really only recommend the movie which I thought was decent. |

No, non-serious episodes don't add much if anything to the plot, but Gintama's plot is not its main focus, the comedy is. Unlike Boruto, who claims it's trying to get somewhere (with that insulting first scene) but all it does is waste time for no reason. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Because I'm having fun watching it? |
| Its okay but the animate has too many boring parts the movie parts are the only redeeming qualities. If youre naruto starved boruto is the only way to go. |

| Filler this. Filler that. Honestly, there can be more to an anime than just how closely it follows a manga's plot. Some anime have some pretty huge differences from their manga counterparts (Black Cat for example). The endings can be different, the characters, motivations, etc. Does that really make the anime not worth watching at all? Will the anime automatically be a failure? A waste of time? No. As for Boruto, "filler" still allows for character development which, hopefully influences decisions and behavior of characters later on in the show. It's not as if they're completely useless just because it doesn't DIRECTLY further the plot. I can see if NOTHING actually happens-- like it's a whole weird, stupid episode or two where no one grows and nothing matters. Nearly every "filler" episode in Boruto has added to the characters or the plot somehow though. Sure, it might suit one's tastes better to have development happen while the plot's going, but that's a choice of direction. Personally, I've found that sometimes in the midst of all the action, characters get lost or ignored. So sometimes a "filler" episode might actually HELP a character. Say what you want about Chocho's arc, but there's not really a good time to have her grow in such a way when you've got a lot of action happening. It was the perfect way to get the point across about her. Why I watch this... I do actually like the characters though some are lacking, sadly. The thing is, the fillers have given the characters who are lacking more material to grow off of. Worst part is they sometimes dismiss characters like Denki or Iwabe since they're "filler" characters. Still, the overall mood of Boruto is actually more of why I still like watching it. For the most part, things are chill, but the formula's more that there are a few things going on that will break that chill. I kinda like that formula as it accompanies Naruto, where the stakes were actually relatively high and there could really be trouble at any time. With Boruto, the creators are a little more reluctant to thrust the world back into chaos, and I actually like that. The characters of Naruto worked so hard for peace, after all. Boruto is their result. Approaching it like that really brings a smile to my face. |
| It is awful The only reason i am watching it for the characters from naruto and naruto shipudden Most of The new characters are trash |
| Most underated anime on mal: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4651/Yume_no_Crayon_Oukoku?q=Yume%20ni%20crayon |
| Holy shit didn't realize the score is this bad.. Haven't watch the show yet but I have seen the movie and the characters sucked in the movie, so bratty and not in the fun way like the beginning of Naruto. Hoping to like the characters as I get into the series, but I am mainly going in because I liked Naruto, and hoping for some OG cameos from daddy Hokage and rouge double agent Sauceke. Also just learned that Konohamaru is part of the main characters? (tagged as so on MAL) If that's the case even more reason to watch the show because I like Konohamaru a lot. That Rasengan he did during the Pain Invasion arc was so good!! |

AlphaN00b said: its more insulting than the long ass fillers in shippuden. may i ask why people keep watching it? Haha, what's insulting is that you'd compare this to the majority of the filler in Naruto or Shippuden. There's no comparison. It has yet to really "WOW" me, but it also isn't excruciatingly boring. They actually put some thought into the way the world is set up and to be honest, I find the premise interesting. It also very much seems to reflect the world we live in now - not only because of the increase in technological sophistication. I'm only on episode 40, but it's already set itself up with some pretty good character development and a world ripe for another catastrophe. Just like our own. The theme of the younger generation not thinking it's possible in one place, and then travelling to another and realizing that people are trying to start them reflects on my generation very much. |
 |
| For Naruto and Sasuke owning their enemys with god powers. |
 |
| Alright I guess it just "WOWed" me, just hit episode 65. Hot damn that fight with Naruto & Sasuke vs. the Ootsutsuki freak was awesome. That was intense. I actually feel bad for people who quit watching this one right away. ...some great foreshadowing going on here too. |
|
| Just drop it !!! Bullshit anime!! Ruined the Nostalgia of naruto :( |
 |
| For me, most of the episodes so far feel like watching Naruto's filler episodes. So, just like when I was watching Naruto, I just rush skipping forward through the episode when it's a filler. Well, since Boruto anime mostly comprises filler arcs so far, I don't feel like missing anything from the plot. |
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
| Just watched boruto ep 65 this was worth it. Episode of 2018. Did not bother watching boruto and his classmates episode. I only watch naruto or sasuke centric episodes, like the godly ep 65. Everyone who did not try it yet watch EP 65. |
| "Even villains have standards" -Accelerator-  |
| I watch it because I’m a big fan of the universe they created with Naruto and I’ve invested a lot of time into that universe. Though Boruto is pretty slow at the moment, for myself at least, it’s not too surprising. I mean Naruto and NS had a decent amount of fillers. I think they should def ease back with the fillers but I’ll still watch in the hopes that they start doing something to progress the series forward. |
| It's anime junk food at its purest honestly. Watched nearly 70 episodes myself and almost nothing outside of one arc had been worthwhile. So many events have just been nods to the OG series, few of the characters are likeable as a whole and it's already chock full of filler. Easily the weakest series of the franchise thus far. |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| I watch because of Sarada, and to see Sakura x Sasuke once in a while...but it's full of fillers what makes it bad, I am skipping almost everything, just watch Sarada's part.... |
 |
| because i am a masochist |
| meh... could bother 13 episodes. Dropped after that. Characters annoyed me way too much. |
