Boruto?!!!

[okeechobee]

So... Yah. Before you judge, I'm quite a bit behind on Naruto, and finished the anime and manga series last week. I recently bought volume 1 and 2 of the Boruto manga series. and I have a series question. Is it worth continuing? I love all things Naruto but I've heard quite a lot of bad things about it. And I'm not sure it's worth the money investing.  So if anyone has an answer for me I'd appreciate it.  Thanks~

Ah it kinda goes to shit after the Naruto series ended. The last Naruto Moive was good though. Boruto is kinda meh.

personally I think they are but both the anime and manga have a different path. I like the anime

They are doing a Dragonball Super thing where they integrate the movies into the show, though they made some adaptations to it. Like, how there are two bad guys in the movie, there are three in the show. Just like there is this new shady organization, but that kind of stuff more or less explains itself throughout the show.

It's worth watching, but don't expect too much yet, they just got to the actual Chuunin Exams.

The series actually really irritates me. Its not the same as Naruto, and from what I've heard from others, it sounds like it is a waste of time. I don't like how it has become modern (in Naruto they didn't have trains, but in Boruto they do), and I absolutely hate Boruto, he's worse than Naruto as a child.

[Hamura]

Boruto is a horrible character, though there are others that make the whole thing redeemable, characters such as Mitsuki. Additionally, I also like Shikamaru's son, as well as Sasuke's daughter and Lee's son. Also, there are a bunch of characters that recently got introduced that are rather interesting to me. Triplets from Kirigakure, A cloud kid that likely trained under Bee, an Iron Sand using kid that is Gaara's adopted son, just to name a few.

Boruto is bullshit, the show is interesting and all, but his character is so annoying he acts like some spoiled brat, but this is the modern times for him, there are games and everything now, so I understand why his character is no way close to Naruto when he was young, but would you think that Naruto will be like Boruto a bit if he had all these stuff to do like play games and watch tv?

Highly unlikely.

The main difference is the fact that Naruto grew up as an orphan, while Boruto grew up with a mother who was there and a mostly absent father, so he basically got spoiled with things like games and people giving him stuff because "he's the son of the Hokage". There would need to be a lot more differences than just games and tv to have made Naruto into a brat like Boruto.

The way I see it, Boruto brings the worst parts of young Naruto along with the millennial mindset, creating a Horrible person.

True 

[Natsy]

Yeah, you have a fair point there. I've watched a few of the episodes but I just couldn't go any further. It is not the same as Naruto.. It just doesn't feel right when I watch it.

Academy students doing high level genin type battles. They don’t use hand seals as much. It makes me mad. I gave up on it.

[Lady Jaz]

But I did appreciate Naruto failing his own son in the exams. That told me that he was fair and that just because Buruto is the kage's son, doesn't mean that he gets special treatment. I just wish they stuck to the traditional methods such as handseals and travelling by foot instead of trains etc..

But I'd be giving Boruto the thumbs down on this one. Should have just stuck with NARUTO and that's it.

I really want to know where to watch it for free like the old naruto series. be nice to keep up with it.

You guys know even in the original Naruto, they had shit like computers? They had movies and trains. If Boruto were like Naruto, people would bitch it just a copy and paste. My complaint is that Naruto...is not Naruto. Naruto is not even a dad for Boruto. Most of the other ninjas able to have lived with their children, Shikamaru whose Naruto right-hand man (not including deadbeat Sasuke here) can have a relationship with his son. Naruto uses work as an excuse to avoid being home and avoid being a father; Naruto outright says this.

Maybe my own bias here from personal experience, but Boruto is realistic for a kid. His dad is never around; he wants his dad to be about more but not Naruto avoids it.

So Naruto avoid being a parent pisses me off, it like he forgot what it like missing his parents. Sasuke didn't know his daughter, and this is the guy who had his clan murder in front of him. He wanted to revive his clan and all. However, outright avoids being home because "there are dangerous people out there". Yeah, and Naruto has the fox in him which everyone wanted. It all... Out of character for these two.
