Damn did someone actually say Itachi could be Madara? I used to follow Sawyer7mage and KoL. SwagKage does go a bit extra with the lore. His points are valid though. All of them have dropped Boruto, to which I am not surprised. I see a similar story to many Naruto sites.
I'm hoping we get a new Naruto movie soon.
Oh. My bad, I misinterpreted! Sorry.
She really is. God I love her.
Beautifully put.
Also I've been thinking of rewatching The Last lately because I've love that movie and thanks to this post, I think I'll make some time for it this weekend.
How damn that wall of text lulz
Anyway I haven't watched Boruto since the nue arc. Really lost interest :/ I should catchup on the Boruto manga but that artstyle still bothers me too much :\
I thought I'd be invested in boruto but I just can't, it made Naruto ( my favorite character such a asshole/ lame adult I kinda wish he ended up like Goku now lol atleast goke was still active in his prime )
Hokage Naruto look lame as fuck, why can't he look cool as the 4th
I really wish we got a series that takes places after the Last instead of Boruto. T-T

Newcomers to the series some advice:
If you go into this series expecting it to be a direct sequel to Naruto then you are mistaken this is NOT a Naruto the character sequel but the Naruto the world sequel: The world moves on post the 4th ninja war and how it deals with a time of peace but also the thought of greater powers lurking out there beyond their realm.
If you think your fave from Naruto will get a ton of screen time then stop as well for this is a story of the new gen. The series unlike the start of Naruto also balances some new gen kids and develops them more, this is NOT an anime were most of the action is reserved for the previous gen, neither is most of the screen time.
Adding on to the point above the fights are great the animation is usually consistent unlike its predecessor but these are kids who will fight threats in their league, don't expect some end game villains appearing for every arc even though the main plot is about some major end game.
This show is not an Uchiha show, the milking has stopped and I think the only Uchiha focused bit is an arc called Gaiden that starts around the episode 20 mark but more so that arc is about family and old shadows then it is about the Uchiha in general. Don't come into this series betting on some old horse and whining later when the said milking of old does not occur for said faves.
Anyway don't come in listening to what youtubers or an ignorant mob mentality tells you, find out if you like a series for the series itself. Come in not expecting some things from Naruto. Go in with a clean slate and I imagine you will enjoy it like we have.

I would've liked that too. Not instead of or more than the Boruto series we have now but I was interested in seeing Naruto as a Jonin with perhaps a Genin team of his own.
Now it kinda seems like Naruto didn't get a team of Genin since there isn't anyone that isn't from his generation that he has any special bond with besides Konohamaru (who is part of his generation in the actual sense of "generations", just not in his class). Hell it seems that way with all of Naruto's classmates and it feels like they just skipped that whole part of a ninja's career, which makes the world feel less believable.
well the resolve the Naruto overly job obsessed personality as the series goes on to eventually him being back to himself
more so the manga right now even has him with panel time and I can't spoil but some relations you might seek
but yeah this series will never be a sequel for Naruto the character so you would have to watch and read this knowing that
even though right now in the manga it is quite interesting on where it is heading
Eh whatever the show probably woulda been mostly mediorcre either way lol. I dont think time period would have mattered much here.
Actually if anything this would have been the better choice for me. The time period of Boruto helps it feel more refreshing to me, away from the slog of the last half of shippuden.

Full version of the ED is on YT:
And it's pretty good. Oddly enough, I can't find it on iTunes despite other stuff from the artist being on there. Hopefully just a matter of time.

It does seem weird that none of the characters became Jonin Leaders. That said, it's not like every Jonin gets assigned to lead a group of Genin.
I wonder who led characters like Mirai since she would be part of that in between generation since she's the only notable character born during the events of Naruto.
Me too.
It really is crazy how they decided to scrap a cast of characters that were far more developed and loved by fans, keen to see their adult phases, for a group of kids who aren't remotely as charming. Not only that but their stories are less captivating as well.
I was reading Narutoforums and came across this graph in one of the threads. I don't think Boruto as a series is going to last long at this rate.
Kishimoto is doing his own thing right now, but maybe he can do a Naruto movie continuation like Toriyama did.
Just finally caught up on the manga, ok I'm interested again lol still weird how manga Naruto and anime look so different ...and honestly I'm preferring manga bouto Naruto now .
Indeed plus we would know the conclusion with chapter 700
No threat would actually exist for his squad kids since he is around
Any actual threat would still be O clan related
If anything similar to what is happening in the manga then it would be too soon seeing as we just came back from a war
No power growth for Naruto
He would already be at peak character too and him still claiming on wanting to be the Hokage and that is his dream would feel dragged and redundant
The only twist would be if his students got killed which would just be a stain as him as a squad captain
Naruto/Sasuke should have been Minato-level tops for the entire war with Sage Mode/EMS until the final boss fight, where Naruto could finally unlock Kurama's power and go all out. Naruto should have been relying mostly on a mastered version of Sage Mode instead of Jinchūriki bullshit. Final boss should be Obito or Kabuto.
Madara should have been a movie villain. Excise the Ootsutsukis entirely.

CDJapan says the single doesn't come out til November 28th. No idea where this full version came from...
It's a good single, however.
I used to follow this until the early 30s I think. Between the land of waves arc and the byakuya gang, it just felt too much like contrived filler. I'm not a slice of life kind of person, but the day-to-day stuff was decently done.
But now all this talk about some of the later episodes makes me want to start again. Does the overall quality get better than the two arcs I mentioned or is it about the same?

Whatever stretch of episodes covers the Boruto movie is really good, with one of, if not the best fight of the year.
Outside of that, not particularly, though I'm a few episodes behind myself atm.
I can't helped thinking that Ootsutsuki clan appearance at the end of Naruto is created to extend Naruto series into Boruto. seems like they'll be like the Saiyans from Dragon Ball and the story will move beyond earth to Planet Namek/other dimension
This is good but it's his post war design so he's not a teacher anymore lol
The Ootsutsuki clan were ended by Kishimoto's Boruto the movie. Ikemoto and team retconned the ending to make them still exist.
The scroll detailed the the remaining threats, which was the idea behind Sasuke's mission. With Kinshiki and Momoshiki dead, the threats were over and Sasuke returns.
Kishimoto's conclusion is clear. Ikemoto and team retconned that story but having Momoshiki live. Thats a pretty crazy retcon and already shows Boruto's continuity or canon problems.
no
just that Kaguya was scared of Momoshiki
plus even the said movie has the third dude's silhouette
I think you're making a leap in logic to justify a conclusion that's not actually supported by the movie anywhere. It doesn't explicitly state that the Ōtsutsuki clan were ended when Momoshiki and Kinshiki died. Just merely that Kaguya was amassing an army of White Zetsu to counter a threat that would come to steal the chakra fruit from her.
Rather noticeably, in the movie, Momoshiki and Kinshiki introduce themselves. Sasuke does not explicitly mention names from the scroll. It's in the manga version where he explicitly names them.
Kaguya's mentioned threat are the remaining Ōtsutsuki, who else is going to steal her fruit from her? The fact that Sasuke's mission is over after the defeat of Momoshiki and Kinshiki is further testament to that. There's an obvious finality to Kishimoto's conclusion that is retconned and ruined with Boruto.
Arguably Boruto extends the worst Naruto plotline.
This is where you're making the leap in logic. Nowhere is it explicitly stated that they are the remaining Ōtsutsuki. It's not even implied. No other Ōtsutsuki mentioned does not equal no Ōtsutsuki remaining.
Video from YonkoProuctions, discussing his thoughts on the Boruto manga and its plot developments. I don't read the manga so I don't really care or have an opinion on the stuff from it yet but some people here read it so I figured I'd post it.
He was tired of letting Boruto eat...
I agree with his remarks regarding the manga rehashing the movie and the Koji Kashin character(if they do go that route). As for the rest, it is either I don't agree with it or I personally don't have a problem with it and I never really saw any of it as an insult to the series or characters. I also find his comments about AO odd, since I doubt anyone really had a connection with that character.

The manga is fine even good
Art style beyond Sarada is good or improved dramatically too lol (even fight scenes), I doubt Yonko even reads it beyond skimming or hearing people talk about the recent arcs (he even stated on twitter that he dropped it during the Momo arc). since all his points are literally about the movie recap for Naruto even though that Naruto isn't even Kodachi's fault seeing as that interpretation of Naruto as an Adult was created by Kishi and Kishi alone. The Kodachi version of Naruto though post that arc is actually good...
The rest have only weight if the KashinKoji point if it is handled poorly, and the AO bit is silly since he was never some major established character to begin with.

especially with the recent Kawaki stuff and how Naruto is is involved/bonding with him

Lol I found that part funny. As though of all characters, Ao is the one you absolutely don't want to fuck up
He also says the series is going nowhere where it won't effect the ninja world but we literally have the series going somewhere with Kara lol
He also ignores that Boruto actually changes as a character too but his skimming has barely any fact checks so it is not surprising.
If anything the problem that needs to be addressed for both anime and manga isn't content, it is pacing.

I honestly think the slow peace and happy stuff we have with the anime will make the future dark stuff even more significant as we descend into a collapsing era
reversal of Naruto where it was already bad then climax then became peace

How about no. Boruto is nowhere near as nonsensical a continuation, and its animation is far ahead of it as well for their respective eras.
Crazy that Naruto is still making the most money for them despite not airing anymore. Even crazier that Boruto makes more than Pokemon.well this is their recent report for TV Tokyo (anime)

Seeing that Black Clover seems to be doing well for them makes me happy too. Hopefully that'll eventually lead to a smoother, more consistently good-looking production.
Well after taking month long breaks in between the Nue episodes and whatever happened right after that (can't remember) I finally got to the good stuff, I think it was around episodes 18 to 20. Anyway the show has some good moments that remind me of Part 1 and I actually hope they don't do a time skip anytime soon, so long as it stays as good as it is during the Sarada/Sasuke and Chunin Exam arcs for most of it. Honestly, the best parts of the show are anything that have to do with Sarada and Boruto, and every interaction he has with Sasuke is always great. It's sad to see how Sasuke has grown into such a great character, and how bad Naruto seems in comparison. No other Hokage was ever depicted as sitting half asleep behind a stack of papers day in and day out. Even Tsunade went out and did stuff. I haven't watched passed the movie arc yet so hopefully that gets better, and hopefully Boruto stops hating his dad all the time.
Right now I'm split between not wanting to skip episodes and not wanting to watch that Chou Chou arc. Are they worth watching? Are they at all canon?

they are all canon but the Cho Cho arc is the worst thing the show as so far offered
just watch idk maybe the first episode to get a sense of a power she has then go to the Metal Lee stuff which is actually good
you won't really miss anything
If you can you should read/catch up with the manga for the Naruto Hokage qualms
I'm not really into reading manga, I did it a while back with AoT when season 2 was taking forever to even get a release date and really regretted it when it finally aired. I also don't like the art style, I'm okay with waiting for the show and watching other stuff in the meantime.
I'll do what you recommended with the episodes though, thanks.
