ibraheem234 said: well boruto seemed so similar to the whole Naruto progress...wanted to be acknowledge ..or something...I guess introduction to the new characters To be honest i think boruto will take a slightly different path than naruto. Boruto wants to be acknoweledged by his father and Naruto wanted to be accepted by the village. It looks like a small difference but i think it will make a huge difference later on in the series. |

| Unlike a lot of people who are watching this, I really never got into Naruto, although I did watch some episodes on TV when I was a kid...so I went into this without knowing much! Surprised by how fun it is, and I gotta confess that I already like Boruto as an MC more than Naruto. He just wants a chilled out life it seems, and doesn't have any crazy goals like becoming the next Hokage. Despite never finishing the original Naruto series, or even being a fan of it, this first episode still somehow made me feel nostalgic...so I can only imagine how long time fans of the original series feel. Only thing that bothered me was Naruto's voice. I mean, I get why they kept the original voice actress...but he's not a teen anymore and you really cannot get away with having a female voice an adult man (unless they're a trap which Naruto is not). Definitely keeping up with this one, I'm interested to see where it goes! |

| I was really looking forward for watching Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Not only because I am big fan of Naruto, but I wanted to see what they would produce. Knowing that the Boruto manga first few chapters cover what happened in Boruto: Naruto the movie, it seemed this was going to be an Anime original. Which was fine by me if it was entertaining enough. But what would everyone else thing of this? The OP was very colourful and I was eager to hear more of KANA-BOON song “Baton Road”. Personally I enjoyed the OP and it’s one of these instance when it get’s me excited to watch the episode. Keeping with the music side of the things, co-composed by Yasuharu Takanashi and -yaiba- once again, but they took a different approach than what they created in Naruto Shippuden. With the different approach of OST, I still think it suited what was shown. Full impression: https://bdt87.wordpress.com/2017/04/05/boruto-naruto-next-generations-episode-1-impression/ |
| Why cast a woman to do Boruto's voice? Sounds so fucking bad. |
| does anyone know what the show is being adapted from? ive read the manga and most of the it was recap of the boruto movie and the newest arc already shows him with sarada and mitsuki while boruto is just entering the academy in the show. |
| Yoooooooooo this was actually really good! I thought i'd be bad but it was really good. |
 |
| Surprisingly nice. Real fun vibe. Real nice to see Boruto's eyes in color when he uses them, not sure if it's Byakugan or something new. It seems like we might have to go through the entirety of the movie since this is way before it. Though the majority of this episode aside from the bit with Kowaki fighting Boruto seems like it might be all original material... no? |
| So they decided to take a detour first but this detour has a hole. I don't think Boruto is supposed to have this eyes before facing the Ootsutsukis. And one more thing, they start the academy around seven. Boruto definitely looks older than seven. Boruto carries his father's legacy, literally. The series starts with a filler. They have ruined the series before it has even begun. The only canon part was the opening scene. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |

Original script from the guy that writes the Manga too. You could consider both canon till now. No continuity errors have been made yet, since it starts off at an earlier point in time than chapter 700 from Naruto. It´s pretty smart as they can write this taking place several months before chapter 700, then adapt Mituskis chapter, then adapt chapter 700, then Saradas story, then the kids going on missions with Konohamaru like the Zabuza one. And only then they´d have to adapt the Movie if they choose so, to continue from there on, Basicly they can write endless filler without disturbing the canon, a dream come true for Pierrot. alright thank you. i was just wondering because i stopped reading boruto when i found out it was a recap of the movie and was looking around after i finished the first episode. thought i missed something but i like it this way since the new generation werent fully introduced. would really like to get to know the new generation more but please no year long filler arc like they did in shippuden. lol |
| Not bad, not bad at all. Better than I expected. I'm still not convinced though, the characters look way too much like their parents, it's kind of stupid. Also from what it seems this story will also be about a Naruto wanting to be acknowledged and to help his black-haired friend who will become evil and destroy the world. eh. I hope not. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| So, I've watched it, and it was pretty... likable? I didn't expect Boruto series to start with him ENTERING the academy, instead of graduating from it, like it was in Naruto's case. And he already knows kage bunshin O_O I remember seeing the first scene in the manga as well, so I really hope the series will continue until at least Boruto's teenage years! Also, Hinataaa, why did you cut your hair T___T Opening is decent, I also thought it was very similar to the last op from Bleach. BUT, where are the female kunoichi from Naruto?! Guys got at least one scene in it, but I haven't noticed Ino, Tenten or Temari :< Ending song sounds like typical female j-rock band, nothing special. Other than that it was kinda meeeh, typical filler episode with boring wuss character lol. Thankfully Boruto himself is easy to like, his seiyuu suits him perfectly, can't wait to see more of him. Next ep, Ino's and Sai's son! <33  Typical Sai xD I see he even inherited his "fake smile no jutsu" :D |

It doesn't follow the manga, it follows Kishimotos scripts, so there wont be fillers probably... just because its not the same as the manga it doesnt mean its a filler... |
| Way better than what i expected, glad they did the Kawaki vs Boruto thing. |

| You know, the way this anime it going to going at the beggining makes me hopeful that they won't shaft the side caracters like they did to the original Naruto...Poor Tentei... |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| I really liked this first episode. I liked everything about it, but I'm still afraid that it might end up as an endless filler series where they don't care about the plot, just for the money. Hopefully we get a decent anime, much better than naruto. |

Women almost always voice young boys (Naruto was also voiced by a woman). tkrisz2 said: I really liked this first episode.

Hopefully we get a decent anime, much better than naruto. The problem with Naruto filelrs was that Kishimoto did not aid the filler writers due to his busy schedules. He did however write and supervise both of the last two movies, whgich were good stuff. Boruto's writer is not only a monthly author, but he doesn't do illustrations. Thus, he should be able to spend his time supervising the Boruto fillers. |

If you took 5 seconds to inform yourself proprly you would know that the scriptwriter of the Boruto Anime is the same one as for the Manga are you picking a fight with me? |

| Impressive start, no way it can keep this quality up. |

| I actually really liked this episode, much to my surprise, cause the author of the manga from which this show is adapted isn't Kishimoto Masashi, so I was skeptical a bit. The director is, aside from Hiroyuki Yamashita, also Noriyuki Abe of Bleach fame! I am so interested to see how his involvement is gonna work with the show... Well, this OP is really colorful and reminds me a lot of Bleach OP 1, which is logical cause the same studio and director are working on it. The song by Kana-Boon is kinda meh, I 'm not sold on it. Other than that, the parkour scene was really well animated and in general, the animation is pretty decent I must say. Sometimes faces were drawn poorly though, but nothing that will distract me from the rest of the episode. Also, that opening scene with this Kawaki guy was pretty interesting and intense. Both him and older Boruto look badass. Okay, I'm guessing from the conversation that Kawaki killed Naruto which is both weird and interesting at the same time and that Shinobi era has ended, which implies that ninjas aren't needed anymore which implies that there's a new way of fighting or something which leads me to make a theory that this new kid which Boruto met this episode will make some sort of new weapon that will allow users to control jutsu implemented with some science and so on. But we will see.... I don't even know how far ahead is manga from the anime and I hope that it won't have fillers like it's predecessors, but I already know that it won't probably be the case.... Anyway, solid 3.5/5 for this episode, looking forward to next week. |

| Do I need to watch the movie before this? |
| overall seemed like a okey episode to me for starting the series off. shame we dont see boruto progressing to unlocking the byakugan. that would have made for some great character development. but now doubt its obviously going to be saved for filler at some point |
 |
| Boruto is worse than Naruto was. But he is a good kid for sure. It was a surprise to see that he also have special eye... I really hope we see more of Sarada... |
 |
| I don't know but I have this feeling: I don't read the manga but... Denki and Kawaki are the same person? Or Kawaki is related do Denki somehow? And looks like Boruto has the tenseigan and something happended with his eye '-' that scar... That ocular jutsu is tenseigan right? Don't belive that Naruto is actually dead. |

| this epilogue.... Boruto looked a lot older. Seems we will see (if the anime ever get there due to success) something around 100 Episodes, most likely, if the anime success, more... dont think they will timeskip all the way to make maybe 50 Episodes. But now we have to deal with this cocky whiney buroto for couple of Episodes before te movie story begins (think around EP15) .. and i hated Buruto in the movie xD |

So u work hard to achieve ur goals(hokage) and somewhere along the line u get killed 😑 wtf We don't even know if Naruto is dead. Kawaki may as well sealed him somewhere and Naruto is waiting for his son to break him free while drinking tea with sentient frogs. |

| Pretty good opening episode, enjoyed the prologue as much as I did in the manga, even more now when its animated, can't wait until we get there. Also animation and character designs/art are much better then in the manga. I see there's already some filler going on cause this new kid was never featured anywhere, but its to be expected I guess. Also I wonder will they recap the manga from start which recaped the 2015 movie so we'll have to see all of this for the 3rd time now. Also I wonder will they include the extra 10 chapter Naruto gaiden story written by Kishi himself. Either way some huge potential is in front of this series, just like its predecessor, as well as lets hope we're in for a great adventure and it runs at least half as long as Naruto did, with less boring filler and more of pure greatness. |

Seriously? Naruto gets killed??! Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure he's not dead, probably can't fight right now because something-something, and it's just that tattooed dude (and maybe Boruto and/or everyone else) thinks he is :v Unless it was stated otherwise somewhere, but I seriously doubt it. |

| Not sure if it will be the same as Naruto, but i will still give it a chance. |

Yes the exact thing came in my mind. This dude Naruto beats up Madara and Kaguya, Progenitor of Chakra and then dies at the hands of some newbie shinobi like wtf? my wtf wtf train goes wtf |
