Preliminary (141/293 eps)
MINOR SPOILERS:

Basically: Boruto has a lot of potential and often uses it very well, but occationally it feels like a trainwreck. Some of the very early filler episodes are decent, however, some of the early canon episodes feel like filler. Overall though, the fillers are BAD.

This is my main disagreement with the show. It was a huge issue for me in Naruto as well, but then they were harder to skip than they are in Boruto because they were often mixing 10% canon with 90% filler, finding myself sometimes watchin 2 minutes of an episode before realizing it would be full of garbage and flashbacks from the PREVIOUS EPISODES that i JUST WATCHED that were also full of fillers.

Story-wise Boruto Canon is good, and I like it. However there is some huge missed potential in some areas. This is very noticable in the Mitsuki retrieval arch where they essentially come to the conclusion "we should get to know mitsuki better and talk to him more"... but... then they never do this. Ever. Why not? A whole arch revolves around it and then.......... no resolution. Just back to fillers.

Enjoyment of the canon episodes 8/10 but the fillers and the disappointment with the mentioned arch makes the overall a 7/10.
