This show really does not deserve all of the hate that it gets. What most people don't understand is, this series is not a sequel to Naruto. This is its own thing. This is Boruto, not Naruto. Boruto states that at the very beginning of the series. This is his story. Of course it won't be as good as Naruto but it is still good and people just blindly hate on it because it isn't Naruto. What hurts even more is people hating on Boruto as a character after only sticking around for the first few arcs. He develops tremendously. I will admit, this show is not for everyone. It does have quite a slow pace at times. However, if you are willing to push through that, Boruto really begins to shine. While some of the characters are admittedly cardboard cutouts of their parents, that is not always the case. A lot of the new characters are unique and lovable in their own way. At the beginning, I did have a hard time connecting to them. Now though, I have grown to really like the cast of characters and I would be genuinely sad if one of them were to die. You should also know that this show is on a different power scale than Naruto. The adults are all super busted while the kids still have a long ways to come. You can see that the children of this era are progressing better than the last generation though. Some people see this as a bad thing but I personally like it because we don't have to sit through all of the training that we saw in Naruto and we can just get straight to the action. In conclusion, I am asking everyone to give Boruto a chance. If you haven't watched it yet, I will warn you that the beginning is very slow but as of right now when I am writing this, the story is in a good place. For those of you that tried watching it but gave up, I promise you it does get better. Even if you don't like the anime still after reading this and catching up in the series, I still highly recommend the manga. The manga is just the anime with faster pacing and less character development but it jumps over a lot of the stuff that people find boring. I know this was quite long and I want to thank you for reading through it all. Hopefully, I did talk no jutsu you into giving Boruto a try.
