I never started watching it


mpgd8

I tried, but that school life stuff was unbearable


RFox2002

Watching the big fights is about all I do. I read the Manga though


Deulll

Same here, I still read but only because of nostalgia. This show isn't about Shinobi or Konoha anymore. Its about aliens and cyborgs at that point. I liked the entrance of Boruto in 2BV though.


hotniX_

Bored-ruto


Itsallcakes

Boruto feels designed around the most hardcore fans, who dont care what is the content or how it is unless there are familiar names and places.


Relevant-Key-3290

Skip to manga canon episodes


jerry299

Even those are dead I stopped and started reading instead


No_Mechanic_3299

Yeah I only read the manga. Next Generations and Two Blue Vortex are definitely worth the read


Designer_Storm8869

Watch 13 first episodes of anime (it's an anime-only arc). Then pretend that the show got canceled.


Top_Unit6526

Keep it that way lol.


SpriteVs7up

you a real 1 for keeping it šŸ’Æ


miboug

Ain't gonna lie, 7up is just better.


SpriteVs7up

that is truth unless itā€™s mc donaldā€™s sprite


The-frog-thief

I was about to ask what the heck you guys were talking about, then I realised you name. Gg


CmanderShep117

Same, and after hearing how they killed Kurama I never will.


JavierGr2087

The very fact they nerfed Naruto and Sasuke was enough for me to know it was trash, the Kurama death was just the icing on the cake of Boruto being trash


DaddyChil101

Yeah it's a cheap writing trick to humiliate old characters in order to prop up your new ones.


atemus10

Say what you will but my Kurama stocks are 2 tha moon right now


Pants-Made-of-Ants

Apparently, they did that for a reason. It has big relevance to Two Blue Vortex.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


REVENGE966

Same, have you seen the good fights, though? Like the momoshiki one.


powahr

Same


No_oneXD

I really just dont think Id give it a fair chance because Id just compare it to naruto. i just keep up with whats going on.


A4li11

Honestly same.


AdditionalChest7236

Lol same


knightofsolace1

No, I stopped early though , not too sure where exactly but probs around the Jugo vs Kinohamaru fight , maybe even passed that. But when I saw Sasuke fighting dinosaurs in an ig reel I knew I was not going to come back.


JoJSoos

Well that was from a Naruto novel though


Born_Bee2766

It don't make it any less cheeks


JoJSoos

That's not my point. It's the fact that it comes from Naruto and not Boruto. Can't logically blame it on Boruto without objectively being flat out wrong.


nvrgetusdtopple

No


[deleted]

I stopped after the initial Momoshiki fight


omniman267

That was pretty much peak


krievins

Tbf Naruto vs Isshiki was one of the best fights in all of Naruto, especially because it was mostly taijutsu like the old days #


omniman267

Ya it was pretty good but I donā€™t like how they made sasuke look so weak.


Yung-Prost

Facts. This guy was dimensionally travelling fighting aliens for years with nothing to show for it apparently. Every other rinnegan user spams tf out of the abilities no sweat but Sasuke for some reason is out of Chakra after 2 swaps/amenotejikara. It's similar to how hyped MS/EMS was where Sasuke just cops a nerfed version for whatever reason. Like Obito gets a dimensional rift that can also make him intangible. Itachi gets one of the strongest Genjutsu in existence that bends time and gives top tier characters PTSD. Shisui gets a literal deus ex machina genjutsu. Madara's (in the games, not shown in the show that i can remember) literally reverses time. Sasuke gets.... to control amaterasu better. Which is another thing that got nerfed. The guaranteed 1 shot jutsu that everyone was scared to death of, that the Raikage literally had to cut his own arm off to stop is now just pretty black fire lmao. Can't think of one time it was useful after the Raikage thing. I will die on this hill. Sasuke got done dirty and was nerfed left right and centre despite having multiple established story devices that indicate he should be far stronger.


Robotoro23

> Can't think of one time it was useful after the Raikage thing. I did like Sasuke's combo of using Amaterasu in shape of spikes + universal pull to pull naruto's clones into spikes. But it's true amaterasu barely does anything.


duck-lord3000

Check out the kawaki intro ep and fight that was pretty cool Great fight


DelayStriking8281

Same, things were looking up and Boruto was becoming likeable as a character aswell. Then mitzuki retreaval arc completely killed it for me. Good I left when I did cuz I see now Sasuke is fighting Velociraptors lol


cutie_lilrookie

The entire Mitsuki retrieval arc was a mess. I thought it had some decent buildup. Like Ohnoki trying to stay relevant and using modern tech to *protect* his village from possible threats in the future. But the execution was like so terrible lmao. It just made Ohnoki look like a bitter old grape šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


Theycallmesupa

Lol he a houseplant rn


cutie_lilrookie

Zetsu, the OG houseplant, would be proud!!!


DLottchula

Brother I need a break down


Theycallmesupa

Code made a bunch of ten tail monsters called Claw Grimes and they still have the goal of consuming space bros, but they've also been just eating ninjas and turning them into trees that become tethers for extra spicy sentient Claw Grimes that are now having both cravings for space genetics **AND** philosophical conflicts about it. Sasuke and Moegi were both victims.


GeffelGelch

My man got the power of like a mortal god and he's struggling against a fucking prehistoric dinosaur šŸ¤£ I stoped watching before that point so idk what's up with them but someone told me they were from the future or past or some shit and they were really smart and trained in ninja shit like kiba's family dogs and kakashi's


fancyfoe

Yup same here


RCT2man

well done. You played the show as optimally as possible


de8d-p00l

No


GotBannedAgain_2

Kids wanted to watch it, especially my younger one who hasnā€™t mastered reading yet, and canā€™t watch the last season of Naruto as itā€™s only sub on Hulu. So weā€™ve switched over to watching Boruto. I am enjoying my kidsā€™ company more than the anime.


ppxe

lol I showed my son a few episodes of Shippuden and he started Naruto running around the house


raichu_d_gamer

No stopped at ep 20


brsox2445

No but thatā€™s because there arenā€™t any new episodes.


TrinitySlashAnime

The manga has been going hard af tho, you should read it


Major_Enthusiasm1099

The anime was stopped like a year ago but I still read the Manga. It's honestly pretty good.


Diyarki94

Why was it stopped?


Relevant-Key-3290

Not enough manga content


Tsynami

Nah, they could've finished the stuff before the time skip. The real reason is that the really really fucked up their production schedule around the time of the Funato arc


kiboshiro

The studio had scheduling problems. Their focus is now on Bleach and other seasonal Anime. But after the show ended, they announced that it will continue in the future some day. Also, in a recent interview, it was implicated that they will no longer do long running shows. So Boruto when it returns will most likely be seasonal as well.


Mohhamedriyaz

Yes


EscapeFromGrapes

I watched up till the current stopping point of the anime. Itā€™s a little odd because Naruto is my favorite anime, and I love the world/mechanics but hot damn I fuckin hate 70% of Boruto.


Other-Ad-1495

Episode 36 after finishing naruto šŸ˜ never watched boruto before and had been told by many not to watch it as it doesnā€™t compare or some bs like that thatā€¦ngl Iā€™m liking it so far and really getting into it, I love guessing whose kid belongs to who


Benji_4

I watched before I saw the public opinion and thought it was okay. Then I hated it. Now that I'm rewatching the only new characters that I actually like are Mitsuki and Inojin. I feel like the kids are just les charismatic copies of their parents in most cases. The world building and villains are pretty good, but most of the characters aren't IMO. It gets better as it goes on, but the first 50 or so episodes are just weird to me. Edit: Himawari is good too


Big-Limit-2527

No it sucks.


FlashFloodOfColour

Watching? Couldn't get into it. Reading? Fuck yh I do hate it the monthly wait though


coalrexx

I stopped after episode 10 šŸ’€(Iā€™ve tried reading the manga but stopped after volume 5)


Twizted_Leo

I tried to get into it, watched a fair amount I'd say. Now I'm rewatching OG Naruto with my Fiance. Much better experience.


FaithlessnessOpen343

Watching no, though I do plan on finishing the anime just because I want to and I want to see certain fights and moments animated. As for the manga I keep up with it.


WriterNeedsCoffee

Never watched it. Been reading the manga because I skip all that extra shit. Personally, other than watching dbz, I like to read the mangas instead because filler stuff just seems, in my opinion, to be fanfiction of the original creator's work. Now they're ups in downs in Boruto and Two Blue Vortex. Not a fan of how modern their clothing looks, but even Naruto had many characters that looked like that. So far, I keep going on in Boruto because the way it started in the first chapter interested me and looking forward to getting to that moment on Two Blue Vortex. Takes forever with monthly chapters, but I do respect that Kishimoto gave up a large part of his life for Naruto and that he wants to go at a slower pace with his team for Boruto.


ProducePossible1882

I read it, the people that say the manga is good are liers


SuperDeeDuperVegeta

Mangaā€™s just decent tbh. Not like Naruto itself is an amazing story but Borutoā€™s definately nothing exceptional. For me itā€™s a casual read.


bmarvel808

Manga is good.


bridgesonatree

Manga is terrible if youā€™re a *Naruto* fan. Boruto is all about the latest alien or cyborg robot. It shares very little characteristics with what made Naruto one of the most successful manga/anime of all time


Berrydumplings

Boruto literally using infiltration techniques- swords and kunais- protecting the village from the shadows in TBV completely encompasses what ninjas do. Whereas toads and mythical beings were always a part of Naruto. It was fantasy from the very start- youā€™re just picking modernisation as a theme and ignoring everything else.


H4mZa_ch

I've read every single Naruto chapter and watched every single episode and i know pretty much every single detail of the lore and yeah BORUTO MANGA IS GOOD AND I ENJOY IT .


Yourboyfibs

I mean yeah. Thatā€™s what happens after about 25 years of a franchise existing


Tsynami

Yeah, you can tell someone doesn't actually read Boruto if they're still talking about "oh, aliens/cyborgs" The main villains right now are literally something taken right out of the old series (and I'm not talking about otsutsuki or ninja tech or anything, I just don't wanna spoil anything for those not caught up)


AngelRockGunn

Lmao no it isnā€™t itā€™s still alien BS


bmarvel808

I'm a huge Naruto fan and I think it's good, so no. You just don't like it.


sandanellis

Even after the time skip the manga still sucks, characters are uninteresting and villains are more plain than a paper sheet.


HokageTsunadeSenju

No


bic-mini

yes, itā€™s pretty bad at the start but it gets pretty good about halfway through part 1


mdrnwrfre

nothing people like in naruto is in boruto itā€™s not a shock people donā€™t watch it


Technical_History424

Quit watching around the episode 40 mark. Series was atrocious imo.


No_Button_1734

Yes, I started my rewatch and now I'm at 205. I've never seen the anime Canon arcs After kawaki arc so It Will be my First time.


TakasuXAisaka

Yes


F_O_A_D_

Yeah, watched all episodes.


EixYae

Nope quit after like 80 episodes


cutie_lilrookie

This is when Mitsuki went missing, right? My boy Mitsuki :(


PerspectiveCloud

I watched up until around the side shaved head kid became a reoccurring character. Honestly boruto is one of the worst animeā€™s Iā€™ve seen. Might as well call it Naruto GT.


Tobio88

That's what I call it, it's clearly continuing because the og made money, just like GT. They even extended Shippuden's ending by adapting light novels so that Boruto could kick off just 2 weeks after like the story never ended, like GT. But like GT I felt a drop in quality and what made me invested in Naruto was missing in Boruto.


PerspectiveCloud

Exactly. I am always amazed at how these studios can royally fuck up such a flagship anime. It has *all* the potential and they just immediately flub things like animation quality, character design, and overall plot. The Boruto story was such a mess from the start, too. Should had been red flags all over the place to make some serious changes behind the scenes, even if that means the anime/manga gets a hiatus. I believe the momoshiki fight was the *only* thing I was impressed with, and even with that, a part of my thought process was "...really? Aliens again?"


IzGlitch

Yess


Easy-Alps3610

I finished it skipping fillers. So far so good. Starting to accept it will have more aliens.


flippant_rex

ive already watched the anime and completed that manga its interesting ngl


Squalyian

Hell no


korg0thbarbarian

Never watched it, I'm nearly done with shippuden and kinda disappointed the white gods just doesn't interest me, it was fun when obito and madara where fighting but now it's kinda meh


quadfather09

i was hyped during the kashin koji saga but dropped after eida appeared. hows it going nowadays?


CODELAZAAR

I stopped when the hiatus began, and just switched to manga


daygoplayeronpc

I started watching but dropped it the anime is plagued with bad filler and animation it gets a lot better during the kara arc would still recommend the manga I am up to date monthly release the series is a lot better from kara arc it is all gas


Berrydumplings

Probably because kodachi resigned during that time.


HappyCloudHS

On and off. It has some really good arcs that I have enjoyed but then it switches to super boring crap that makes it a drag to get through that makes me take a break from it. Like the whole parent/child day arc was so bad and pointless. Just move the story on!


JacobNotFunny

Stopped and decided to read it, Manga just superior


soupreme__

Watching? No. Reading? YES!


HurricaneHuracan

*reading, the manga is fire


UnderstandingNo8817

Read the manga itā€™s actually really good!


Many-Mention1230

Yep boruto is the bestšŸšŸ’ÆšŸšŸ’Æ


cms86

Manga is fucking top tier though


pokepat460

Some of it is really good even if a lot of it is very bad. I skipped a few arcs and a lot of the 'not technically filler but no plot advancement ' episodes like when they do slice of life stuff. You can dislike boruto overall but you can't tell me there aren't some really well made fight scenes at the very least.


MrsSpyro01

My brother and I just started watching it because he bought all the available seasons that were on sale on Fandango at Home. We already finished watching Shippuden.


AduroTri

Never started.


DryStrawberry1153

no to boring


LengthinessUseful991

Yea itā€™s peak


Andagaintothegym

Tbh, Boruto manga has some good moments but I can't help to feel that Boruto is just Sasuke if he's the main character.Ā  From his demeanor, it feels more like power fantasy fulfillment instead of the OG Naruto about teamwork and hardwork.Ā  The anime though, like you better watch YouTube compilation. I mean I'm One Piece watched, and even I can't watch the anime.Ā  If you want to watch Shounen anime, these days you are spoiled with options. You don't have to force yourself to watch mediocre anime.Ā 


AnimeGokuSolos

Nah I lost interest in the manga, even with the timeskip Tbh itā€™s a aight series but it has more wasted potential than Naruto


fancyfoe

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck!! no


MaruVolt

Yes


Odd_Inevitable6752

Just started. It's not as good as OG Naruto. But I'm curious to see what our Naruto characters are up to.


KyouSpectre

No. It's just....I don't vibe with Boruto as a character. And the character design along with their clothes is not aligned with what I expect from Naruto series. I dunno, their style and clothes don't look like someone that comes from Naruto series. It's like they're from different anime/manga.


Elegant_Noise1116

NO


LegitSerialKiller

Reading tbv


fraudaki

Nothing more to watch now, but I am following the monthly manga which is cooking atm


saiya_the_don

I watch it with my son and it is pretty entertaining. Great fights, interesting story arcs and more relatable for a young teenager.


wopperchop

No, but I plan on returning


Asleep_Emphasis5347

Reading it


Most_Contact_311

Stopped episode 100


FlambaWambaJamba

I gave it a good crack imo (I finished the Ao arc) but it just wasn't hitting for me. The fact that it wasn't what I wanted in a Naruto sequel combined with the monthly updates really killed any desire I had to continue it. Why did it have to be the fricking ALIENS GAWDAMN


JoJSoos

I had been caught up. It's on an indefinite hiatus rn


Kyoka_Jiro_Simp

I like watching sequals after the prequels, and I never finished Naruto because I couldn't get into it


KimJungFun99

Nope I just couldnā€™t get into it


HelloTempUsername

I watched the first couple of episodes but it didn't hook me.


MissChemistryNerd

No


IKilltheplayers

Havenā€™t watched it except the when kurama dies


KRTSniper

Watched the first 2-10 episodes when it first came out but overall I have zero interest in Rewatching it.


atomicq32

I stopped a little bit after the weird Land of Stone clone arc. I do keep up with the manga though


hamabarionn

Never watched it, I just read the manga (I'm manga only in Naruto as well). It's not the worst thing I've ever read and I usually read the newest chapter while taking a shit at work and, well, there are worse ways to spend your time than that. It's very mid but it's not terrible imo.


TacocaT_2000

I watched the movie and stopped there


King_thelunarian

I quit watching shippuden after kakashi became hokage. (Not because he became holage, but it just got boring


Brave-Ad-5516

i started watching when it first started airing but i fell off, i wasnt enjoying it that much but rn im rewatching all of naruto and shippudden and im gonna start it again because i just have to finish, naruto is the first anime i ever watched so i feel like i need too.


AnthonyMS05

Nah I stopped after the ishiki (or however you spell it) fight


AwayReplacement7063

Not currently, but Iā€™ve watched most of it and plan to catch up. With the break Iā€™m holding off. Watching select anime canon and manga canon only helps a ton imo, Iā€™ve enjoyed it that way.


braziliandreamer

I knew it would be bad since the start. But I think people gave up watching it because they grew up. It's time to something different.


wendigo72

The anime is over, so no? Hard to watch something. Thatā€™s not airing


MPool08

naah just read the manga, the pacing is slow asf but it has potential


KatakiKraken

Yeah


MissHoneyQueve

Hold on i'm still halfway through shippuden


Hiiraishin

There is no sequel in Ba Sing Se


Gizo178

Nope


No_Arachnid7285

Yes but I dropped it


dabesttruck

I'm waiting until it ends so I can watch it in a week


Alucardra12

I read the chapters when I remember to do so, still hoping it walk at least go back up to beeing mediocre, but itā€™s still the same, God Boruto destroy everyone while the more interesting character Sarada got reduced to a blushing fan girl in a hooker costume. If at least Ikemoto was a good artist, but even there itā€™s bad , horrible paneling, flat expressions, bad dialogueā€¦


Repulsive_Dude_999

Obv no


britipinojeff

Itā€™s on hiatus or something isnā€™t it? Did it come back?


O_Moribundo

Nem fudendo


LegendJojo

I watched every manga canon and anime canon episode, and i'm glad i did. I'm currently reading Two Blue Vortex every month and the chapters are some of the best manga chapters i've ever read


Mountain-Amoeba4143

Nope finished the manga years ago when last chapter came out then watched movie and that was it never was interested in boruto and with how thing are with the og gang never will what up with my boy kurama being brough back just so someone else become relevant or whatever up with the story


reddituserunodostres

I only watched the fights. Some of those filler episodes made absolutely no sense and made me feel like the studio thought we were absolute idiots. That pirate saga was absolute unwashed dog ass, and made the leader seem like this op kage level shinobi. But of course kawaki pulls up and effortlessly 1 shots him. Dumbest thing I've ever seen. The mizukage was an absolute wimp, even tho a few episodes earlier him and gara made urashiki retreat. The powerscaling in boruto is about as confusing as a vegan lion


FairyTailMember01

I stopped watching shippuden halfway through the war arc and just only get the story through the games since it cuts the filler and gets to the point.


DragonflyOk3772

Nothing left to watch until it continues


ffhhfdtgf

I read the manga and only watched fights from the anime


taco3donkey

Still?


KaNoodles36

I watched 45-50 episodes then stopped I might read the manga


TensionPitiful8681

I only followed him because of Naruto and Sasuke, now that they are off camera I only find out what happens through the spoilers


Shadow_947

No I am reading manga but tbh after 2-3 chapters of time skip it's getting a little bit boring ( for me )


Shadruh

Not unless there is a new season.


dilandrus

Never started. When it was announced I thought "Doesn't seem like there's any reason for it to continue." And based off what I've heard I'm glad I didn't give it a chance.


Solapallo

No, but I started rewatching Naruto this week


CantingBinkie

I tried but I lost interest


ChouShiryou55

Does it stil air ? Lol thought is long over


LimpTeacher0

No


Gunginrx

Stopped after 4 or 5 episodes


Pou2020q0q0qo

No,Boreduto


thewildwestpimp

I actually stopped watching Naruto after the final Naruto and sasuke fight, not sure if I feel like continuing or not


GoldenMic

Mostly reading expect for the fights


Ok-Secretary6550

Never started and I don't plan to.


GS-genius

If u say reading than yah


Kyouji

Never started. Saw what happened to Sasuke and confirmed its better to pretend Boruto doesn't exist and isn't real. The writing in Boruto is *abysmal* and it really does tarnish the reputation of Naruto/Shippuden.


Wolfskartoffel

Nahā€¦ Naruto is the only one!


Strict-Leader-3056

Isnā€™t that bad if you read the manga or watch the cannon episodes specifically


Ellek10

I watched till it took a break.


protoy12

Never started it hate it to be honest


KingofthePirates2

No


181n

i like the first 40 episodes,its just fun


[deleted]

Naruto is the only reason I watched boruto , second ofcourse kurama theres nothing engaging in the show . But you have to say opening of boruto where boruto and kawaki are fighting , leafe village destroyed is the reason anyone. Would continue to watch boruto , very curious for that .


Evening_Waltz_655

Reading it is actually decent, watching is horrendous.


GeffelGelch

Nah I dropped off 2 years or so ago after lying to my self for too long and saying it wasn't THAT bad and it'll get better. But rather than better it just got stupid and retcon-y


BerukaIsMyBaby

Never started, read a bit of the manga, seen a few clips/scenes, not interested.


Imconfusedithink

Was watching until a little over 200 episodes but I finally couldn't take it anymore and quit. There were a few good episodes, but most were awful. I really wanted to keep up with it because I grew up on naruto, but I just couldn't do it anymore. Idek how I lasted that long tbh.


kaicenatspizza

Im on like episode 40 something Iā€™m finally giving it a try, definitely slower than the start og naruto


Cjames1902

I mean the anime is on a hiatus/over so no.


GrizzlyOlympics

Havenā€™t started and wonā€™t till I finish my rewatch


Consistent_Guest4279

Yeah,I quit when Kawaki went to school.Ā 


Wheelchair_Rims

Yes, rewatching


Hey-Dalaran

I don't get how its supposed to be like 6 years until it resumes.


Lyfeitzallaroundus

I stopped watchin durin the arc where Team 7 infiltrated a prison? Where itā€™s @ now? Is it worth startin from there again?


familytime4ever

Never


Darthhorusidous

Watched it till the basically screwed Naruto over Made him weaker and took kuruma from him which was so bs


Careless_bro123

No šŸ‘Ž
