It was announced at the "Naruto x Boruto" stage event at Jump Festa 2017 that the Naruto spin-off manga Boruto: Naruto Next Generations will receive a TV anime in April 2017. The main cast members will be reprising their roles from the sequel movie to Naruto Shippuuden.

Synopsis
Naruto was a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He achieved his dream to become the greatest ninja in the village and his face sits atop the Hokage monument. But this is not his story... A new generation of ninjas are ready to take the stage, led by Naruto's own son, Boruto! (Source: VIZ Media)

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is written by Ukyou Kodachi with illustrations by Mikio Ikemoto and has been serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump since May 2016. Shueisha published the second compiled volume on December 2, and the manga currently has over 1,000,000 copies in print.

Or they could do like Dragon Ball Super, not caring about the manga.

There are enough chapters to make an anime out of it?

I'm looking in the Boruto subforum and there are only 7 chapters, i have the feeling that they will fuck up the pace or add fillers like in Naruto Shippuden.

I'm still curious about whether this will be part of Shippuden, or if Shippuden will finally end and this will be its own standalone thing. Really really hoping it's the latter......
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Lets just hope it really will be better, i just wonder how they will do it since there aint much material and i doubt they would do just 24eps or so.

Twin Star Exorcists ends next season. You know what's gonna take over that timeslot, reserved for only 50-episode shows?
That's right motherfuckers. It's time for Next Filler Generations.

Why?

The last part of Naruto was shit and the Boruto has been shit. Naruto is neat as Hokage, but everyone else sucks. Sakura is still a dumb bitch. Sasuke is a negelectful asshole. Boruto is just a poor imitation of Naruto as a kid. Sarada is okay, but it would have been more interesting if she was Karin's kid instead of Sakura's.

Although I had hoped as franchise Naruto died, adaptation of this spin-off was too obvious event. However, I did hope will he and daughter Sakura become a couple.

That could be it actually. I bet they'll even recap Boruto the movie like DBS retold the 2 movies
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Have a strange feeling like they're gonna re-air the movie in small parts for like the first half season... That or animate the side stories like Sarada's. Well I wouldn't mind seeing her story animated but hopefully not the movie over again.

Why do people even act so surprised? The last two movies made a lot of money and the games sell extremely well. It was just a matter of time before they went with the Dragon Ball Super route.

Pretty much as expected, we all knew this would come.

The bigger question is will Naruto Shippuden end, it would be pretty awkward to have Boruto airing alongside original Naruto. If they won't end it I at least hope they speed things up.

Also looking at the preview it will like they'll remake the movie as well, cause the manga is doing it also, so yeah first 10ish episodes will be movie retelling.

Kinda funny that about a week ago, after watching yet another stupid episode of Shippuden, I was thinking to myself that they are probably going to keep Shippuden going until they can start airing a Boruto anime. Looks like that's exactly what's going to happen now.

I'm guessing they'll extend and add fillers to this seeing the manga doesn't have many chapters to adapt at the moment.

I just hope it isn't part of Shippuden, cause if it is then that'll mean we're gonna get more fillers till April 2017. :|

I'm not sure what they're gonna adapt here though, There are barely enough chapters and even the ones that are out are just recapping the movie. Maybe they'll adapt the Sarada arc that was released before Next Generations.

So when Boruto inevitably has a child with Sarada in another 15-20 years, will that be the most talented ninja ever born?

Think about it... Boruto supposedly has access to the byakugan which means that their potential offspring could inherit it later.

Sarada obviously has access to the Sharingan which means their offspring would also have access to that as well.

Additionally this child would have incredibly strong grandparents on both sides (assuming they are both still alive) so they would have access to the best of both worlds.

The little sister seems more prodigious than Boruto lol
I'll check this out, probably not gonna be great but I'll withhold judgement. And what is with these naming schemes? I just realized Naruto and Bleach both went the same route, following in the path of J.K. Rowling's terrible epilogue.

tv anime which means a series ?

i mean, i want to watch it IF the studio is not pierrot.
many people even said that the manga literally so bad.
so i want to watch it IF this is an original adaptation but unfortunately nope.
original by other studio than pierrot obviously.

im going to bet 100% this is going to be bad.

Anyone else rather have "The Last" blank period arc or even the novels around that period adapted? I mean seriously, I'll take a whole year of fillers using the blank period instead of Boruto. I just want to see Naruto and Konoha 11 doing ninja shit instead of old people stuffs like Sakura cleaning or Hinata knitting or Shino teaching.

Wait, so Kishi has nothing to do with it? Why shoot yourself in the foot by making connection with a train wreck Naruto was, instead of using the setting without crappy characters and all the baggage. They can cash whatever popularity it had without going in to sink in the same cesspool.

Not surprising. I'm sure the Boruto manga will be directly adapted in a separate adaptation also, so they have hundreds more episodes to milk.

I guess Shippuden really is ending soon..and on it's tenth anniversary.

Boruto should be fun, but I do hope it doesn't pull a Dragon Ball Super and adapt the movie.
