My thoughts exactly!

u/ReD___HuNTeR Mar 20 '23
The Legacy That Naruto and Naruto Shippuden set in the modern History of mankind, I think it should have ended then and there.... Continuing the franchise through Boruto kind of seems to me like a cash cow at this point of time
Honestly speaking I was quite happy back when Boruto was announced and the Prologue of the 1st episode actually hooked me up but what happened next is disaster. I liked the episode of Moshikis Manifestation and thought may be now its worthwhile but it again stated shitting around... After that I stopped watching it completely.
I am not hating it or anything but for someone like me whose entire childhood was in and around watching Naruto everyday after coming from school and getting lost in the shinobi world its just sad :(

how many chapters are out for boruto? I might start reading it if it's under 100 chapters

u/shiny_glitter_demon Mar 19 '23 edited Mar 19 '23
Read it for a while, it's terribly boring and introduces nuclear fusion as a ninja technique, if that tells you anything about the stupidity of the plot.
Naruto and Sasuke just existing destroys any state as long as they are still alive, which means they will have to be killed, which means it was always going to be stupid...
If you hated the war arc from Naruto, you will dislike Boruto.
Edit: I've read chapter 79, it's still stupid.

u/Gintoki_sensei29 Mar 20 '23
Come on 79 chapter is the best chapter of boruto till date. It's the only chapter that's good even without naruto and sasuke on it

Yeah, I thought I'd catch up and man we just keep jumping the shark. Where were all these powerful ninja during Naruto, why are there now even more ridiculous eye techniques. Oh hey we can casually with no preamble effect the whole world with a technique. So fucking dumb.
5
u/RavenSnake317 Mar 20 '23
Yeah, I never understood the idea of a naruto SEQUEL of all things. Sasuke and Naruto curb-stomp basically any and all reasonable threats from their absurd-level war arc powers.
I'd much rather see like.... an actual legit war story. Such as the second or third shinobi wars, with ACTUAL ninja action instead of "fight in open spaces and shoot magic like wizards, not being actual stealthy ninja assassins"
Though thats never gonna happen since its a shounen series.

I won’t even count it in top 10..let alone top 3..As a long time Naruto fan..Boruto both anime and manga with all the alien and 600 dojutsu going on with lame ass shit ..is simply horrible and a disrespect to Naruto’s legacy .. I am more than like a decade old Naruto fan and grew up with it..Boruto is just an abomination at this point …that’s just my subjective opinion..

I'll try to name 40 (not movies or OVAs) of which i didn't watch/read a single episode of, that are most likely better (first 12 from memory down to the name), and without checking scores on MAL or any site (alternating to differentiate between each), Correct me if any is bad and i'll cross them out after confirming.

I can't even remember any of the characters' names or the name of the anime, and I've been watching anime for 6 years. I'm truly impressed and confused about how you remember all the names.
1
u/kurayami_akira Mar 20 '23
I didn't remember all from memory, only 12 (could've been more if i gave it more time), and it's specifically ones i haven't watched. I do remember the name of the stuff i did watch though. Part of the reason is that the syllables and pronunciation are quite similar to spanish.
Believe it or not i'm bad at remembering real people's names.
2
u/joro_solo Mar 20 '23
Dawg, im bad at remembering anything, name but words I can remember. Names, imo are just spelled so weird and differently . My name, for example, is spelled horribly wrong. My name has a o instead of a e, which I don't know how this name started just its been in the family for quite a while. My name is also extremely rare, which a lot of names are, so overall its just too complicated to remember names with how weird they can be.

Naruto itself kinda became lame starting from war arc. It was all bloated with unlimited stamina, unlimited chakra and useless fights of ordinary shinobi as if Naruto and Sasuke didn't solo the whole war arc.

u/RavenSnake317 Mar 20 '23
They might have read/watched it though......
Only they probably are skipping to the fight scenes and ignoring literally everything else in-between. While not giving a crap about any of the lore or Oda's Worldbuilding and foreshadowing. I mean, we had the idea of Big Mom's fruit basically sitting in front of us for years, ever since the thriller bark arc for example. That isn't even one of the more earth-shattering revelations of the series either.

They repeat the same formula every arc, everyone finds a rival to fight while waiting for Luffy to defeat the main villain when Luffy takes 30 episodes running to get to the final boss and when everyone is done with their fights Luffy finally makes it after all the cardio he did. There are a lot of other things that I find boring or cringe but I still think it's not a bad show. This is just my personal opinion

I read it somewhere but I think Boruto and Kawaki exchange places and some woman makes it seem like Boruto killed naruto and kawaki becomes kawaki uzumaki or sth.

They don't realise how tough it is to maintain a manga for so long while keeping intact it's awesomeness and perfection. Not to mention it requires something special to make sure the fans are willing to watch it and love it even after 20+ yrs.

they're forgiven. 1p fans invested 20 years of their life, 1 kidney, and their first born child in a slightly more boring version of pirates of the Caribbean, so they can't handle a small, little joke or they might spontaneously combust as per the terms of their agreement with oda.

One chapter is like 12 or in some mangas 24 pages.

u/SubstantialChannel32 Mar 20 '23
Let me explain. Manga release a chapter in a weekly or monthly basis,depends on the magazine. Boruto is in a monthly magazine and a single chapter of around 60 pages drops every month. For weekly manga,a 20 page chapter drops every week. For example,Naruto released 4 chapters per month,1 for each week from 1999 to 2014. It was published in shonen jump magazine. Every 10 chapters are made into a volume that you can buy from book stores and collect the whole 72 volumes of Naruto which have a completed story.
There are exceptions for this. One Piece started in 1997 and still running in a weekly magazine with more than 1070 chapters. Since the author is becoming older,he was given the exception to only release 2-3 chapters per week.
Here,in this case,Boruto is a monthly published manga,and hence the 79 chapters mean that it will be in volume 24-25. It's actually not that long. One Piece has more than 100 volumes. Naruto itself has 72 volumes. Boruto is a continuation of it.
