Boruto has received flak from most fans as an unsuccessful sequel spin-off to Naruto. As opposed to its precursor, the sequel lacks in more ways than one. Masashi Kishimoto’s magnum opus set a benchmark in Shonen through its depiction of heroism, courage, and friendships. However, even legends are bound to err and fail in some way or the other.

This holds especially true for the portrayal of female characters in the series. While writing female characters isn’t his best suit, the mangaka made a grave failure in his series with his writing of Sakura. While the spin-off isn’t the ideal sequel for most fans, it has the potential to rectify the mangaka’s mistake.

It is a known fact that Naruto is one of the most popular and celebrated series of the Golden Age of Shonen. Be it a compelling storyline or epic battles, the manga is nothing short of iconic. Masashi Kishimoto was praised for this magnum opus because of his unique art style. This holds especially true for the Part 1 series. However, things have changed drastically.

The collaboration between Kishimoto’s series and Idw’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of the most expected releases. While fans wait in anticipation for its release, Boruto fades away from the spotlight because of its monotonous art style. It bears witness to the fallen legacy of Kishimoto’s magnum opus.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations failed as the sequel of one of the most successful anime series of all time. Most storylines and characters from the original Naruto series were either abandoned or ruined in Boruto, even Naruto’s Talk-no-Jutsu became useless. The special technique pacified many villains, saving thousands of lives at times. It was arguably the strongest weapon in the series.
However, Naruto failed to fulfill one promise he made during one of the most pivotal moments of Naruto Shippuden. It’s a prime example of how Boruto failed to honor the promises, legacy, and the Talk-no-Jutsu of its predecessor.

Ever since Masashi Kishimoto’s Boruto became a reality, it became the center of criticism among the community. The sequel has attempted countless ways to differentiate itself from its predecessor, Naruto, as the show tried to create a legacy of its own.

However, it was a blatant attempt, as it failed to resonate the same essence as the original show. Well, the show was a concoction of everything bad, from an annoying young protagonist to a faltering storyline that made the new and old viewers of the show hate it.
The show faltered even more as it progressed, but one good thing about it was how it showcased Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. The duo saved the show as they carried it effortlessly, but the idea of making them appear inconsistently is what made the fandom criticize the show even more!

To kill or not to kill is an ever-looming question that plagues a mangaka. This especially holds for iconic characters. While Boruto may not be as iconic as its predecessor Naruto, it carves its own identity while staying true to Masashi Kishimoto’s core storyline. However, with character deaths, there are differences in opinion.

This is especially true when outlining a character’s death in the story. While the sequel spin-off breaks away from its predecessor’s shadow, it retrieves the core elements from the original series. In this case, the point of difference is Kurama’s fate in the series.

In the ever-evolving field of anime, visuals are a key aspect of the narrative; they not only captivate the audience but also breathe life into the narrative and evoke emotions that words fail to convey. Chengxi Huang, a name popular in the field of anime, has become synonymous with this notion.

Huang’s work speaks for himself as he exemplifies stunning visuals in some of the most renowned anime series, such as Boruto, Naruto: Shippuden, Sword Art Online, Castlevania, and many more.

Naruto is the most celebrated and loved brainchild of Masashi Kishimoto. The popular ninja manga is iconic through its portrayal of heroism and friendships. While it is among the canon of Jump’s Big 3 of Shonen anime, its sequel spin-off Boruto often gets the middle-child treatment.

From power-packed jutsus to heavy battles, Naruto is iconic in every sense. The same goes for the villains in the series. Masashi Kishimoto has created some of the most powerful villains in his manga. While the original series introduced Kaguya Otsutsuki, the spin-off left no stone unturned.

Kishimoto’s Controversial Comment On Sarada’s Design: A Case Of Mistranslation Or Misinterpretation?
During a recent visit to France to promote the physical publication of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the sequel to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, manga creator Masashi Kishimoto found himself at the center of a social media storm.
At a press conference attended by both Kishimoto and Boruto artist Mikio Ikemoto, a comment made by Kishimoto about the character design of Sarada Uchiha sparked a significant controversy online.
When asked which of Ikemoto’s designs he favored the most, Kishimoto reportedly responded by saying, “I would say Sarada in a young woman version, because she is sexy. I could never have drawn her.”
The comment, initially translated and circulated by several fan accounts, led to Kishimoto being labeled a “pedo” by some social media users, resulting in widespread backlash against the veteran manga artist.

With Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto series concluding in 2017, the series continued with a sequel show titled Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which features the son of our beloved protagonist in the limelight. Anyone would be immensely respectful if their father were the Hokage of the village, but not Boruto Uzumaki, as he shares a very rocky relationship with his father.

A ton of fans believe that this is because the character is in his teenage years. However, others feel that the young protagonist has a rocky relationship with his father because he has been absent from his life most of the time, as being a Hokage is not easy at all.
The sequel series features a scene featuring our young protagonist and Uzumaki Naruto, where the Seventh Hokage demands respect from his son, which makes the fans criticize him for his actions, making him look like a jerk.

Few anime and manga series have ever achieved the huge popularity and lasting impact of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece. This series has created a cultural phenomenon that captivates fans with its vast universe, fascinating characters, and clever storytelling. Yet, One Piece has also received its fair share of criticism, especially in light of its length.

Naruto Shippuden concluded with Naruto Uzumaki marrying Hinata. It was the perfect way to end one of the greatest anime ever. Hinata always loved Naruto, but the orange-clad ninja only thought of her as a friend. His prime focus was on Sakura Haruna. Afterward, it shifted to bringing Sasuke Uchiha back to the Hidden Leaf.
But during The Last: Naruto the movie, the Hero of Leaf finally confessed his love to the Hyuga princess. While the majority of the fandom believed that Sakura would be his partner, Masashi Kishimoto changed their destiny because of Hinata’s selfless devotion to the Seventh Hokage.

It makes sense to assume that Naruto would appear more wild or strong as he grew older as most shounen protagonists follow this general pattern.

Fans had high expectations from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations after Naruto Shippuden ended. It could not live up to the hype of its predecessor and soon became a paradise for trolls. The inclusion of excessive fillers made it way more predictable. The plot failed to fulfill its expectations, even after having great characters and proper abilities.
Fans targeted Sarada Uchiha for trolling. She did not even know that her father had Sharingan. Her weak projection caused the fans to make fun of her on several social media platforms. When asked about her Mangekyo Sharingan, people highlighted her weakness and dependency on Boruto and Mitsuki. But they might have forgotten about a secret ability that is way overpowered.

If you ever go down the rabbit hole of battle choreographies, you will find that some of the best scenes are not from One Piece or Dragon Ball, but rather from Naruto and Boruto. Both franchises are famous for their detailed battles with actual choreographies rather than just random bursts of action followed by impact sounds.
Even in Naruto and Boruto, some battles stand out from others. In the opinion of the fandom, early Naruto episodes had the best choreography. However, you will find some great ones in Boruto, despite it being infamous for a drop in animation quality.

The official Twitter account of Naruto issued a warning on April 8, 2024, to alert fans regarding accounts on social media impersonating the series’ creator, Masashi Kishimoto.
The tweet read, “[Please be careful] Manga artist Masashi Kishimoto does not have any accounts on any social media platforms. Please be aware that accounts claiming to be Masashi Kishimoto-sensei are not genuine. – Shueisha“.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is currently reaching the heights of its popularity as a narrative, and the manga has completed the time jump and began releasing the post-time skip storyline of the series, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
The official follow-up series Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is set three years after the events of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations and is very different from the former in terms of both subject matter and approach. With the assistance of Eida’s power at the end of the first series, Kawaki firmly established his claim to power as Naruto’s legitimate son, while Boruto was shunned by the Hidden Leaf Village.
Naruto’s fate has also changed because Kawaki made use of the Space-Time Ninjutsu to send him and Hinata to a distant dimension. Because of this Naruto has been absent from the post-time skip narrative which has disappointed many fans.

It's not unusual for the movies to come out of manga and anime series to feel a little off. The stories are often non-canon or otherwise abridged adaptations of ongoing story arcs, and the best thing you can hope for as a viewer is that a given movie captures some hint of what you enjoy about the series. While the movies may not hit the heights of the series, they can still deliver excellent character moments and action.
Whether or not the "Naruto" films deliver on that is up for debate.

Another year closes, and it sure was a newsy one! As my fourth year now doing this roundup, it's always fascinating to see what exactly ranks the highest as the year ends. Publishing this in the new year helps confirm my feeling that you need to let the current year end first, as any big news can break before December 31 (as you'll see soon). 2023 was a big year of change, particularly with Attack on Titan 's final finalized finale, but one that also continues to show the extended interests of anime fandoms. While you will normally be correct that Shonen Jump titles claim the crown for reads, don't count out the silently popular Isekai and/or reincarnation anime!

When it comes to popular anime series, few can hold a candle to "Naruto." Based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga series of the same name, "Naruto" centers on Naruto Uzumaki and his ninja brethren as they defend the Hidden Leaf Village.

Since the anime's debut in 2002, "Naruto" has branched out into a full franchise, with multiple series, films, and the spin-off "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations."

It's been an odd road for "Naruto" creator Masashi Kishimoto since the end of his popular manga. Kishimoto gave his blessing to the creation of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations," a manga from "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" writer Ukyo Kodachi and artist Mikio Ikemoto. The manga also led the popular anime adaptation.
Kishimoto then created the manga series "Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru," a science fiction with art from Akira Okubo. Unfortunately, that series only last for 43 chapters before being quietly shuttered. With his newer manga scuttled, Kishimoto eventually moved back toward the "Naruto" franchise, taking over the writing duties for "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations"...
