Boruto isn't such a bad anime as most people say it is. While liking and disliking anime is subjective , obviously , there are several wrong statements that the reviews I have read on , which they base their reviews on.

it may be true for several characters like Shikadai and Cho-Cho , I don't believe any other character is a one to one copy. Boruto is coming from way different circumstances , so his personality is way more different than Naruto's , and while the counter argument to that is that he fights for his friends and never gives up just like his dad , bro every second shounen anime has that kind of a character , you can't really say that every shounen anime's MC is a copy of Naruto. Sarada has ambitions to becoming the Hokage , which neither Sasuke (not really but you get my point) nor Sakura had. Sarada is neither edgy and mysterious like Sasuke , nor useless and powerless like Sakura. She has team-leading skills which I think brings a nice touch to her character. Plus she gives weight to Naruto being the Hokage , since not even a single other character emphasized on how great Naruto as a Hokage is. I can go for every single character all day but I prefer to get onto the next point I want to make.
The second most common problem I see with people disliking the anime is because it seems like a money grabbing scheme with no plot , character development or environment interest whatsoever. I do understand that the first several arcs may have been underwhelming , with the exception of the otsotsuki involvement , the same goes for Naruto the first 200 episodes. While yes , Naruto's first 200 episodes were better than Boruto's , the precise reason for that is because it was the introduction to the Naruto universe and we did not know what to expect. People who have watched naruto + shippuden , the whole 600 episodes or whatever the number of episodes in total it is , have gotten used to watching these super cool scenes with a lot of plot twists and character development , and the expectation for boruto's BUILD UP is as high as naruto's main parts of the anime. In short , people's unrealistic hype and expectation for Boruto is not justifiable , hence why the disappointment. I have watched up to ep. 208 and I gotta say things are looking so much more exciting than the first several arcs. I believe the anime is about beggining to show what it is capable of.
Third most seen problem , at least from what I have read , is that the creators of Boruto are lazy of creating new things and that the art is not impressive at all. Bro , I usually never care about art in anime , and that is exactly why I think that what I am about to say carries more weight. The animation made for Boruto's fights look as impressive as Naruto Shippuden's final several fights. While the fights may not be as intense , the actual art is still there and it has not been downgraded , in fact I believe it has improved.
Add-on: Ninjutsu are straight up copied from the character's parents and that is completely fine. Guess where Sasuke got his Chidori from? Kakashi. A fellow Sharingan user just like Sarada , which later on learns how to use it. Rasengan and Shadow Clone jutsu. Boruto ninjutsu wise is completely identical to Naruto and that is still kinda fine , because Naruto learned Rasengan from Jiraya , Minato's specialty , which wow guess what. he happens to be Naruto's father. It is a repeating pattern , which is meant to be repeated , in order to keep the authenticity of Naruto's characters. Let's not talk about the clans' jutsu like Shikadai , Inojin and Cho-Cho. That shit has been literally passed down for thousands of generations , you can't give me the argument like "it's just a cheap copy". Shut your ass up
Now as to what I don't like about Boruto.
1.Naruto is no longer the main character , therefore he is not as strong. We do not get to see any improvement in Naruto's strength , in fact he seems much weaker now. It's as if he has not improved in 20 years of being a shinobi and his tailed beast power , while compared to Sasuke , he can do much more than he could at the end of Naruto Shippuden. His power is only spoken of , but never actually used. And while yes , he has to protect the village so he can't go all out , well guess what the latest few episodes as of 7/28/2021 , he was given the perfect opportunity and was utterly disappointing. I do not get the whole "I want to get stronger" in Naruto , when we don't see laboured fruit in Boruto.
2. Story wise it is nothing special really , new bad guy shows up world is in danger whoa never seen before , but I don't mind that really. I still get to enjoy the story even if it's mediocre at best , but I still can't say what the story is overall since I haven't watched the whole anime. Let's hope there is something more to it than Naruto Shippuden's save the world (although it leads there for now).
3.While I said that most characters are NOT identical to their parents , it doesn't mean it is a good thing in most cases. For example Inojin , he is a blatant character , with no interesting traits whatsoever , except he is sarcastic sometimes. Sai was way more engaging when he entered the OG Team 7.
Overall , I don't believe Boruto is as bad as people think , but I am not saying that it is THAT good that it can fully surpass Naruto. It's a review from the 208th episode , can't really say if it's better than Naruto or not. It took its time to build up , but all big shounen anime are made like that , so it is not necessarily a bad thing. Look up One Piece , that shit has been building up way too much.

Horimiya is an anmie I definitely enjoyed watching. At first I thought it was a really typical romance anime that would not make me feel a thing. Little did I know , after the first 3 episodes I immediately said to myself "This anime has an enormous amount of potential and it might become my favourite one". I was so happy when I started the show , since I saw something in it. I liked the story , which honestly isn't THAT good , but as long as I enjoyed listening to it and watching it , I'm fine with that. So as I continued

Honestly , I expected more from the anime. I always have a certain standard for Slice of Life anime , but this one is just way too boring. Other Slice of Life anime tend to get a bit more dramatic when it comes to romantic situations , while this one focuses a bit more on the simplicity of human life. That's what I don't like about the anime , others might like it though. As I was watching the anime I started to feel extremely bored , but in my head I thought "hey maybe the last couple of episodes might be good" but they
