Dragon Ball Super proved that it can be good even when it's not adapting Toriyama's manga but do you honestly think that this anime can as Kishimoto said "be better than Naruto" and achieve similar success?

Depends on whether he actually planned out his whole story in advance, or if he'll just start winging it like he did with Naruto. As long as he gives me complex character relationships, feels, and Pierrot gives us great action sequences like they've shown they can, it should be just fine

It depend on what kind of theme they try to gave this series.
Naruto already had an estabilished world building so all they need to do is to gave us something fresh about the theme and story.

But I won't be expecting much out of this judging from the movie, I got enough teen angst from the original Naruto and judging from the movie, it looks like they gonna pull the same stuff with Boruto, I don't know about how the manga goes tho.

I just found out this is a thing. Holy shit, just let it die already. NARUTO's last breath was in chapter 698 and everything else was hot garbage. It's heartbreaking to see it continue.

It doesen't really matter.. As long as x amount of people from expected amount y keeps watching it in Japan, they will keep airing it. It was already proven with Naruto anime, that you can pull the story out of your ass and go with 100% fillers for months.. They don't really need any canon content to keep releasing the series.

I suppose this will turn out like Pokemon/Cardfight anime with new seasons built from the remants of the original series. As long as there is a generation of kids who will keep watching, they can mass make these filler episodes and call it "original" till world's end.

It's not neccessarily a bad thing, but you'd literally be watching only fillers and call it original. I wonder how they will keep the quality of the show up..

No, I don't think so. Honestly I think of Naruto as a potential well ruined by Studio Pierrot and now they just keep using it as nostalgic element to earn money.
It already pisses me off when I think how much potential series had and how it is being ruined. And since it's not Kishimito so I further doubt.

And as for dragon ballsuper, if u would have said DBZ it would have made at least some sense. Even though it still is never passing on to next generation but same hero carrying on. DB super just proves that people are gonna watch and try to praise it no matter what. DB super can not even obtain has the intensity DBZ had. Bcz we all know there is a literalgod of destruction that could rescue anything in the end, and if that's not enough we have the Omni king.

Kishimoto said that he will MAKE the anime better than Naruto though, so I'm guessing he will be involved.

He will be watching but I doubt both parts, may be in execution but overall concept, characters and a basic goal, I doubt series can offer that much what Naruto had to offer and since it's still Studio Pierrot so I doubt execution as well.

Lol. Lots of negativity here. Well, it's not surprising considering the current filler-filled 4th Great Ninja War arc that wasn't even good in the manga either. Anyway, here's my answer.

Better than Naruto? No.
Better than Shippuden? Maybe.

See what I did there? Thing is, Studio Pierrot have proven they can make both shitty and decent filler. It just depends on the kind of filler Studio Pierrot can give Boruto and hopefully not make it 90% flashback like they did the 4th Great Ninja War. There is one last point to make.

Success of fluff?
Fluff. It can't succeed when it's predecessor has already warped the minds of the masses. These comments are proof of that. People are sick of Naruto and it's only the purists who still remember how much they "loved" Naruto back in the day who will still watch Boruto. Myself included.

This is what the start is going to be and what they're thinking:

"The amount of recaps in the original Naruto anime and Shippuuden was such a HUGE success, let's recap the events that happened in the Boruto film and maybe recap some of the events in Shippuuden."

Honestly, if they do have the first 20 episodes as a recap ... I think they'll lose a big amount of viewers already but then again, people still watched Naruto despite so many flaws and fillers/recaps etc anyway.

It could definitely beat shippudden. That thing was a major flop. Naruto definitely not, that was one of the best series to date.

I totally agree, it can be great and I'm glad they're continuing the story line. I think they can do amazing things with this anime, hopefully they won't do a bad job.

Well it doesn't really have to be start from, Boruto manga or fillers. It could use Naruto Gaiden as a starting point. But still too early.

In terms of story and characters, hell yes. Most of the new gen are pretty interesting including the new Sand Team...The movie alone gave off massive Part 1 vibes and if they stick to that it'll be a success (Though I highly doubt that it will be as popular as Naruto was)

Mitsuki, Sarada and Boruto are not only prodigies, but if you compare them to Team 7 at that age, they're easily superior and in terms of likeability, they're

Mitsuki is just chill af and is generally a cool dude minus all that avenging and intense rivalry stuff, Sarada encompasses all of the good qualities about Sasuke and Sakura and is already the best written female character in the entire franchise and Boruto albeit starting off like a lazy cheater he has good qualities too and his attitude towards things and goal at the end of the film is not only refreshing but seeing where his journey will end up (Becoming a rogue ninja it seems etc, will be very interesting to see)

The issue here is that in a world where Naruto and Sasuke (Moreso Sasuke since Naruto got seemingly nerfed ever since The Last) are gods, it'll be tough to convincingly introduce big threats

If the calculations are correct, the manga should be done with the recap by the time this anime drops, so maybe all along, the manga is just a comicalization of the anime

What?! They are seriously turning this crap into anime? Just stop milking it!

Naruto is over, the end. I could care less about their copy card children with half assed developed romance between main cast. Didn't bother with manga, not bothering with anime either.


The only relationship I care about is Temari/Shikamaru and the only kid I liked both design and character wise is Chouji's daughter. All other kids are crap both design and personality wise, nothing interesting.

We already went through children growing without parent, being a pranker and etc. No need to have round 2.

Boruto is kind of a play on Naruto as well it being how a Japanese person would say "Bolt" which is what his name really is

The reason why his name is Bolt is because it pays homage to his Uncle Neji whose name means Screw in Japanese (You can pretty much put the symbolisms behind it together)

Another reason as to why Kishi named him Bolt was in reference to Usain Bolt (The fastest man IRL) and in a sense it pays homage to Minato whom is regarded as the fastest shinobi

Yup. Because anime fans are no lives who complain about everything, but watch everything in their mother's basement. I thought the stereotype was made up, but sadly learned ts true.

I'm afraid it's going to be boring. Naruto was interesting at some point but the fillers killed all of the interest I had in it. I'm still watching, though, cause I'm kinda attached to the series - it was my first. I'm curious how it will roll with Boruto, but I do not think it will achieve commercial success. Rather, I believe it will be a flop, but it remains to be seen.
