| Kawaki has truly grown to be protective of his friend Boruto. Well, idk how to feel about Code but he's no pushover. I don't think Shikamaru would've stood much chance in defeating him directly. Still, after all the drama in this episode/arc, we still got some son (Boruto) and father (Naruto) moments. Obviously, this main story isn't finished so part 2 will continue to built off of it. Might be interested in the 4 episodes for the 20th anniversary. Can't believe we still got the Boruto and Kawaii face off scene like from the very first episode. What a cliffhanger. |
 |
| 75% Filler! Damn... I skipped most of it and watched the canon episodes. It was good but I don't feel it can get more than a 6/10 with that amount of filler. The ones I've seen were really bad. |

| And Boruto's back to life thanks to Momoshiki. I mean they'd need to change the title without him so ofc he's back. Good thing they decided to end the anime here without going for more fillers. Now they can take time and make s2 when there's enough content out there. |
 |
| that was a pretty good episode part 1 ended just the way it started never really been the biggest naruto/boruto fan but I do like it overall after watching 1000+ eps this had way too much filler hopefully, part 2 is better and airs soon |

| Finally this trainwreck of an anime is over, thankfully. It truly was a painful journey and the 2508 zillion fillers didn't help. 3/10 and I'm being more generous than some of my friends |
| What a final episode for part 1 the fight kawaki vs code was so fire and this scene with boruto and naruto as a he was born and then the current state of him was emotional. Momoshiki has revived him through the carma to close his wounds and organs. The final scene with the village is destroyed and time skip it was so nice. |

The ones I've seen were really bad. Just look at it another way. They could release a 13 episodes Season every one/two years without any filler, or they release a weekly anime with poor animation between the canon. I'll gladly take the weekly, even if I don't want to see the filler, I can just skip them, but if I want to see some Boruto content, even if it is not canon, I can watch the "Filler" episodes. I literally only see a W. I don't see it that way. So many fillers gives a bad look to the series to me and many people. I would have preferred they did like Boku no Hero with breaks between seasons over what they did. It would also give them more time for them to work in the animation. They would never do that since Boruto is one of the top watched anime in Japan for some reason. |

Ah brother, this episode was absolutely the most fabulous since the first one, however I was disappointed by the 2 seconds from the future, I was expecting more. But I got so excited when I saw that moment with Momoshiki laughing. The anime was absolutely brilliant [if you skip the fillers even better]. however, the scene at the end with the two of them talking is absolutely magnificent, I will see on tiktok and instagram many editions with that transition of Boruto. |
| Finally this is over, whew. Good riddance. |
 |
| Fuck Boruto prank his death xd But im grateful there is a conclusion there. To be continue to the next part i guess. Idk if i have enough energy for that, but oh well. Let's worry about that later and be glad i am able to change this thing into completed! Now i need to find a way to get rid of op too, or actually, no... |

| That was a pretty long run, but part 1 of Boruto has finished up. The last two episodes looked great in terms of production values and it ended on a tense, but intriguing note with Boruto and Kawaki talking to each other on the Hokage rock heads, each with their different vows of what they will do next. My thoughts overall? I feel that Boruto gets way too much hate, but some of it is justified. While I feel that on average, the fillers are no better nor worse than Shippuden had (albeit with slightly better visuals, which doesn't say much sometimes), the lack of canon content in-between was a bit testing at times. Still, when it came to those big moments, the production staff really went all out, as a reminder of what they can do and as with lat week's episode, it still is amazing to see the fight with a lot of sakuga moments. =) For now, I'll give Boruto a 6/10. Not terrible, but it could've been better with less filler, especially ones if it didn't add anything useful to the series. I do look forward to part 2 when it comes out in the future. |
| Well... it ended. I don't have much to say about this show except that they could've done so much better but they didn't. So much unnecessary anime-only stuff that nobody cared about a bit. What a letdown. I hope we can have Seasonal Boruto from the next time onward but I highly doubt that would happen. |
 |
| Both Naruto and Kawaki screaming "This is my story" felt like the perfect wrap p to this part of the story, constructing perfectly Boruto saying it in the early stages of the show. Makes it more interesting to see how Kawaki went from idolizing Naruto to "supposedly" killing him. |
| It was no suprise for Boruto to come back otherwise we wouldn't even have gotten a second part. The fact that they both actually planned this beforehand and the resolve Kawaki had to kill Boruto was pretty insane. Well, as he said many times, he'd do anything for Naruto. Oh man, all those fucking foreshadowing in the end gave me so many goosebumps. And the sudden flash forward to the end of Boruto where he confronts Kawaki as the Last Shinobi. Jouganists, here we come. Oh man, when both of them said "it's my story" and when Kawaki asked Boruto what "everything" means to him. JUST PURE MADNESS AND HYPE. A great way to end the first part of Boruto. I've been watching Boruto since 2018 and back then, it was probably one of the most enjoyaqble series I watched every week. I didn't care back then about any kind of filler or anime canon episode. I just consumed what the show offered me and I absolutely enjoyed it. Started reading the manga a year and half later and I've noticed then how badly the fillers were in Boruto. Not as in the content, but the amount. I liked them back then. I've watched 95% of it besides the horrible arc where they've learnt how to repair a boat. Last two episodes were one of the best and hopefully part 2 will be fully canon. It'll be a feast if it's fully canon and only adapting the manga content. Well, if the break is long enough, we'll have enough to adapt. The manga is still monhtly which kinda sucks.   |

| At last, Boruto didn't die and the last sequence as a continuation of the very first one only proved that he wouldn't. While Code isn't done yet, Kawaki is set to stop Boruto in his tracks if he were to injure Naruto in any way. As for the rest of the cast, yeah, they are nowhere to be seen until the next part comes out hopefully taking its sweet ass time. Now, was this anime good? No, not at all and the main cause of it were the constant anime canon stories that dragged down the manga canon adaptation. One can clearly atest to what was canon and what wasn't by looking at the quality of the episode and seeing whether it was later referenced or not and in this case that was quite evident. It somehow had more filler episodes than the original Naruto series and the best moments didn't hit as hard, and it's a damn shame. Now that's it's over, for newcomers or those with morbid curiosity, there are at most 50 episodes out of the almost 300 to watch in order to follow the story along, maybe less even. If you're not into Naruto... then why are you even reading this XD |

| Absolutely incredible and far better than Naruto Also this anime wouldn't be good if it weren't the "fillers". They develop characters greatly and ar a fresh slice of life |
| What an ENDING. I’m not gonna give a heartfelt paragraph here. It’s really the end of part 1. I’m looking forward to their endeavour!  |
| Watched the episode twiced! It's a great finale. Making me want to watch more! Part 2 please be fast. Also the last part is amazing. Looking forward for the part 2!! |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| Good ending. Loved the callback to the first episode, but I wish it was longer. I hope to see more of Sarada and her powers in the future. Kawaki is one of my favorites in the Naruto universe. |
 |
| Fantastic final 2 episodes and the series had a few of these special episodes that actually felt like quality. Too bad it came at the price of a really mediocre ~280 other episodes. We'll see what they can do for the next part, just hope it doesn't come at the same price this series had to pay. 6/10 |
 |
| it was great how the finale went back to the beginning with adult boruto and kawaki confronting each other in konoha |

| The fact that Boruto's life flash before Naruto's eyes was heart wrenching. Can't imagine what it'd be like losing a child but this seems genuine. Wonder what would happen if he still had Kurama (then again this probably wouldn't have happened if he did). Shikamaru and Naruto must feel so powerless against these people. Heck Shikamaru lost his cool and basically told Naruto "Look your adopted son just made a doughnut out of your own son! Are you really okay with that?!". Momoshiki still foreshadowing what is to come and it is quite the mind blower. I'm a bit surprised he doesn't know why it occurs though. Love how Boruto and Kawaki were standing where they fight in the first episode. Now that I think about it, it was inevitable that Kawaki was going to get the karma back. On another note, I do find it strange that Boruto is still a target to Kawaki. I mean, sure he's an Otsutsuki now but Momoshiki can't take him over now. He's kind of in the same boat as Kawaki, right? I somewhat get Kawaki's obsession to only protect Naruto but it's as if he forgot that he was once a problem, too. You get a get out of jail free card but Boruto still has to die instead of finding a way to help your brother. Hmmm.... I dunno. Nonetheless, been watching this since it came out. To see it end here is kind of sad but now that some character's have been fleshed out a bit here and there, we can get into more manga stuff. I do hope they go the Hero Aca route so that we can get Boruto every year. Then again, with how the manga is set up, I'm not too sure if that is possible. Just realized that Boruto and Kawaki have that sun and moon thing going on like Naruto and Sasuke had in Shippuden. |

| Oh boy it's about time the Boruto anime took a break. Just way too much filler for this to be a consistently enjoyable experience. I looked up a filler list and counted how many episodes were considered "manga canon," and ONLY a whopping 74 episodes were marked as manga canon. Yep, you read that right, 74 out of 293 episodes. That's way too much filler (and please, miss me with that "anime canon" nonsense lol, it's filler). Even if you include episodes marked as "mixed canon/filler," that number only jumps up to 85. Still way too much filler. This show was definitely a mixed bag. It had more lows than highs imo, but when it reached its highs, they were HIGH (the Naruto-verse has always had S-tier fight choreography). It's too bad though that those high moments really only came whenever they adapted manga canon stuff. And quite frankly, those moments were too few and far between. It's crazy to have to sit through god knows how many fillers before finally getting even decent material, so the enjoyment factor with this anime was way way too inconsistent. It's just not good when 75% of what you're watching is a chore to get through, just to be able to enjoy that decent to good 25%. Hopefully the anime takes a long break and lets the manga actually get some breathing room before it comes back. That's the issue with the manga being monthly, as it takes longer for it to increase the separation from the anime. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy some of Boruto, but again, those moments came and went sporadically and inconsistently. I grew up with Naruto, and the franchise holds a special place in my heart, but man, Boruto was lowkey a mistake and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Anyone who bothered reading my post this far can interpret my words however they want, and some will probably think I'm being a hater, but I just truly want better for this entry in the Naruto franchise. And if this is the treatment a next gen Naruto sequel gets, it should have just never happened. Oh, and if you unironically believe Boruto is better than Naruto, please send me some of whatever you're smoking lol. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Heck of a finish for the series! Last episode kept us on the edge of our seats with the insane production levels and fast pacing but this episode went with a slower tempo to leave more of an impression behind I suppose. God, the way they paralleled the final few seconds of this episode with those from the start in the first episode, that's just brilliant! Plus the "This is my story!" Both have motivations that make sense and it's just a pity that it doesn't necessarily mesh well at times. Naruto's expressionless facade holding Boruto's seemingly dead body was painful already but when they added the small flashbacks with some of their past interactions and Hinata, I was like, "Oh no!" xD. Gets to me that, jeez. Of course Boruto wasn't going to die though. I was trying to of ways how he'd come back and I considered Momoshiki but I'd a feeling Amado would pull something out of his magic pockets or something, lmao. Guess I'm glad at least that wasn't the case. Momoshiki's evil laughter before the recurring warning though, now that's sinister asf. @thebrentinator24 I totally get you, and thanks for those numbers! It's insane how little canon content the Boruto series has had, no wonder why it's just so underwhelming, looking at it as a whole. To be honest, even some of the other things they adapted were disappointed. The Sasuke story for example, it was so terrible on so many levels xD. I checked out the Sasuke side-story manga and found that decent but the anime just made a freakin' mess out of it. In general, I would've to say the series had its moments but the fillers just ruined it. And Naruto's power level is so insignificant now, it's funny at this point. There were moments where I was wondering if Naruto was really that good and that's not a pleasant feeling, lmao. I'm the first to admit that the Naruto series itself had a lot of horrible fillers and probably not the most coherent story either but it holds a special place for me and there are so many memorable events or fights that I go back to from time to time but it wasn't really the case with Boruto and I feel that the groundwork of Boruto is to blame for this. Nevertheless, there seems to be something in the making now and I'm dearly hoping Part 2 can capitalise on it. For now though, I can't bring myself to give this 1st part anything beyond a 3/10. Looking forward to the 4 Naruto episodes this summer! Edit: After much consideration, I realise that I was lenient with the Narutoverse, so I'll up this to a 4/10 and leave it at that. |

| Naruto shedding a tear for Boruto... 😢 There it is, the break! I will miss it so much! 😭 But can't wait for what's next! |
| Absolutely great way to end the series! Hope production can reduce some fillers in part 2✊ |
