Hmm, that was actually kinda fun. We got introduction of the main characters from right off the bat.

Boruto's narration and personality feels quite similar to Naruto. I love how he defended that kid he met from those bullies.
The show so far has a decent amount of energy. For what's worth, I think it was a fun watch.

Nice to see Naruto himself in this of course and other familiar characters. The train scene was dope.

Also that Kawaki tease lol. Decent start of the series tho.

Great & enjoyable first episode.
Woah that start though. Gonna be a while until we get to that part.

Another good song from KANA BOON. ED song is nice as well.
Cool seeing Naruto as Hokage & Hinata is such a loving & caring mother.
So cool seeing people from Naruto's Generation grow up.
Himawari is adorable.

Boruto has good Shadow Clone control.
LOL the train carriage smashing into Naruto's Statue face.
That is one way of making a dramatic entrance.

Looking forward to seeing the other students.

The Opening is so much like OP 15 of Bleach. Great start hyping up Kawaki vs Boruto. It was a solid start and that train scene was funny

Surprisingly really good. I thought it'd be decent at best but this was a great start.

Art and animation look slick, the opening scene(post Kawaki) had a really nice fast paced and energetic feel to it with all the parkour movement and pretty much everything just flowed really well. What the hell Pierrot? XD

Lot of questions raised this episode with the snake thing that bit Denki and Boruto's eye plus the whole future thing. I kinda skipped the movie recap chapters of the manga so if they explained something, could someone explain it to me or at least direct me to the appropriate chapter?

They seem to be meshing in a modern setting along with the original ninja one, you can see the different types of rubble in the background during the scene with Kawaki as opposed to the manga and I assume the main conflict of the series is gonna revolve around this difference in era. At least that's what I think.

Wonder how long this series is gonna be, Anyway, looking forward to the next episode.

I loved this episode! That start with Kawaki :oo
Didn't really like the opening, I think it will take some time to get used to it.
Should I start reading the manga? Boruto's eye seemed interesting.
Can't wait for the next episode!

Glad to see that studio pierrot isn't holding back on the production of the first episode. The animation was great, and the art was great as well. Seems like the anime will somewhat follow the manga with that intro scene. I personally haven't been enjoying the manga so far, but the intro scene was amazing in both the manga and the anime. Hopefully the anime does a better job than what the manga has done so far. I have high hopes for this!

Yes, although there will probably be some things that are hard to understand.

You could watch the original Naruto first (not shippuuden), then go to Boruto if you want to know how the shinobi world is built.

Although if that doesn't matter too much for you, I think you'll be just fine watching only Boruto.

This was one high budget filler of "naruto" that kept me intersted from star to end. It set before the Sarada side-story, the last official material by Kishimoto. The movie takes place after the academy years, so we all should be prepared for years of filler materials before hitting the main story.

That opening scene was cool.. I've seen it before but It was fan made so watching the actual thing was a different experience. Boruto has a completely opposite kinda side from what naruto used to be. Boruto knows a lot of ninjutsu like shadow clone already before joining academy unlike naruto, (man those were the days) xD

Definitely enjoyed the first episode. (wasn't that good but I didn't expected much from boruto) I'm really curious to see what that black aura/thing was & did I see byakugan/tenseigan in his right eye?! D:

That´s the first thing that came to mind when I saw the conductor yelling at Boruto

Anyway ok episode 3/5. The animation is what mostly elevated the episode for me.

Chapter 10 you´re welcome, but don´t expect much explanation the Manga relishes itself in avoiding any answers, but asking more questions inbetween the shitloads of filler it delivers.

I hated the movie , halfway into the 1st episode things look pretty cool.
I came in expecting this to be horrible.

OH NO! This was good, really good. I didn't touch any of this stuff ever since manga ended. I didn't watch the cannon episodes of anime either. But here I decided to try this out and it turned out to be pretty good.

Sure there is nostalgia for the ninja world and wish to find out what happens after but looking at this anime stand alone, it stands really strong on it's own as well. No I would say that on it's own it stands even stronger as if someone didn't know naruto (mostly impossible) then this entire thing would be so much more interesting as there would be so much more to find out.

Truly, I really didn't want to acknowledge this series as I believed I am finally free of this franchise but compared to most new shows that come out nowadays or even compared to great shows of the past this first episode is high up there.

And so the addition comes back.

PS; Speaking of the episode, unlike the movie or the manga that throws us at Chunin exam, anime has it's start in the place where it starts, which is so much better. Rather than getting all those characters thrown on our face straight on as their parents counterparts, we will get a chance to actually get to know them.

Time for Boruto's adventures to start eh? That opening sequence tho. I'm guessing the last movies wasn't cannon since Boruto still dislikes his father. Nice episode overall.

I voted "okay", I have issues with it but it's still too early to say how the series itself will turn out. I'm hoping for a clean restart with similar down-to-earth ninjaing that pre-timeship Naruto had, and this episode implied that we'd get that. That eye-thing Boruto got seemed to imply some new eye hax. I tend to hate the eye powers in Naruto but if Boruto's eye doesn't become completely OP then it's okay I guess.

Can't wait to get to the school stuff and get to know the side characters more. The secondary cast has always been the best part of Naruto, so I'm expecting at least a few new favorites.

Okay, fresh new start, episode was actually quite enjoyable, let's hope it does not go down like shippuden did.

Btw, why did they make Naruto's hair on the stonewall spiky, his hair did not look like that when he became Hokage...

Question:
Was this tenseigan thingy people are talking about in the Naruto manga and I missed it or is it something new from the Boruto manga?

Was very expectant and the first episode surely didn't let me down. It was all in all a nice start and the similarity between Boruto and his father really can't be ignored, though as he said, the paths that they're going to walk on would truly be different, and I couldn't get more hyped up about that. Epic train scene. He's Naruto's kid, after all. Lol

I was expecting something worst but the episode was actually not that bad, lets just hope that this anime lives up for our expectations. And the animation has increased alot. This ep for me 4/5.

I watched a bit of Naruto and I got the basic understanding of how things work since I have a friend who likes it so I think I`ll be good.

Is that really so bad this time around? Man I suggest you grow up though. The older I got, the more uncaring I got about these kind of things.

Fillers are annoying if they break up the main story constantly (hi Shippuuden) and I developed a dislike for them in that way, but in this way, fully original, no weird short arcs cutting up the main story? Don't mind it one bit.

Nor should you, tbh.

Tenseigan is from Naruto Movie The Last as the ancestor power of Byakugan that Hyuuga have now. Also like Naruto is inheritor of Ashura chakra Hinata is also inheritor of Homura Ootsuki chakra making it plausible that Boruto would inherit Tenseigan from her.

It´s basicly the Byakugan version of the Rinnegan and translated means the same.

It was a long time theory of mine I announced after reading chapter 700.
I assumed that Boruto is the Hyuga equivalent of an Uchiha and a Senju having a kid together. Which following the rules, should lead to Rinnegan awakening in the kid.

This theory was supported when we were told by Kushina that the Uzumaki are distant relatives to the Senju. Following the fact that the Hyuga are cousins to the Senju and the Uchiha through patrilineal inheritance, it´s highly possible that the Uzumaki are the sibling clan of the Hyuga. The Hyuga being the ones to inherit their ancestors eyes and the Uzumaki his body, therfore if you combine those two bloodlines you may achieve the same powers this ancestor had. Which is basicly on the powerscale of Hagoromo the Sage of the 6 paths.

Wtf are you talking about? The animation was majorly Sakuga, some frames were badly drawn but this was on average highly above anything Studio Pierrot delivers on a regular basis. It´s the reason I dearly hope that it´ll be a seasonal series rather than a continued one to give Hiroyuki the time he needs to animate and direct this into something good.

Ofc even he cannot repair a fundamantelly broken or boring plot but this wasn´t ever the issue with Naruto aside from fillers that were a cause of the continual nature of the show.
