Animations in 1st episode was gorgeous btw. Maybe There Was Some Kind Of WiFi Throttling on your end. I Watched the episode and it looked good to me :3 |

| Im Noticing That Boruto Heredited a Lot of Fighting Habits from his dad like the constant Shadow Clone Spam. The Animation During The Fight Looked really Good. There Were Also Some Potencial Ships that could Sail. Im Rooting For the Purple Haired Girl (I Dont Remember her name) Even Though she is very similar to early Hinata. They Could Also Pair Him With Sarada the Tsun xD. ~HipsterKanekiD |

| Eh. Animation quality dropped and everything is just a big copy-paste.. Everyone's kid is exactly like their parents and that purple-haired girl is the new Hinata. Meh. And what's with this Iwabe guy being so strong at such a young age? Shouldn't it take ages to learn to use rock style moves? Pretty bad tbh. 2/5 |

| When will any long-running anime studios (Toei, Pierrot) learn that you don't drop the animation during fight scenes. Really, I can understand and forgive when it's other scenes, but not the fight scenes. Pierrot, please check your priorities. |

saltncheese said: There are only two questions that need answers. 1) Who is that mysterious goth girl with the pink stuffed toy? 2) Who in god's green earth married Rock Lee? The answer for your first question, maybe will be introduced in the future episode, just like the next episode that will tell the story of Metal Lee. The answer for your second question, I think it is Tenten. But, they're not married officially. You should also look to Metal Lee's eyes, I think they're similar to Tenten's eyes. |

Every slice of life Anime has that girl. Hinata aside from being obviously far more developed had a personality. First she was an outcast then we learned that she was selfless, then motivational. The only thing purple haired girl has in common with her is that she blushed for the Mc and that she´s indecesive, but not shy because how would she be the class represantative, if she was an introvert like Hinata. As of now, all the new characters are slice of of life cardboard, while the older generation are mostly clones of their parents. Boruto is getting away from this trope. since the premise was always more akin to Konohamarus and Sarada is like neither of her parents. kikyo1hinamora said: THE SNAKE LADY WAS IN MY TOP 3 FEMALE CHARACTER IN NARUTO NOW SHE BECAME JUST UGLY AND FAT So you saying that fat ladies are ugly ? Reconsider that opinion with your favorite Anime list. |

| So I'm wondering who is the class rep (purple hair girl)? and by that I mean who's her father and mother? Or is she just new like Boruto's buddy? Thanks in advance. |
 |
| Shikadai😍😍 I love him ahhhh |
| This was an awesome episode Shikadai still fav char so far |
| Animation during the fight was meh. |

Boruto is getting away from this trope. since the premise was always more akin to Konohamarus and Sarada is like neither of her parents. Give me a break. You know as well as I do that they just copy-paste both story and characters with tiny variation because they know it works, are lazy and are not willing to take risks. Do you seriously believe that it is a coincidence that this new girl has this particular appearance, is shy and (obviously) will start to like Boruto? Ask yourself the same question after 10 more episodes. I'm calling it, she will be the new Hinata. About Boruto, I don't know what you're talking about. He's not getting away from anything. Another goal and other conditions, yeah, but they pretty much had to do that. It is - to me - still unacceptable that he looks, sounds, acts and talks like Naruto. Don't even get me started on his name. Of course children should have similar appearance to their parents but man, the Naruto universe is ridiculous in this aspect. Yep, Naruto's generation are also cutouts but at least they're first to appear in their story, so if anything it should be their parents one should complain about. I'd probably be better off not replying to you at all as you're obviously not serious about anything, rating shows 1 to make fans angry... but whatever. |

| This chapter was interesting. I like the original development so far. Boruto is far more likable than his movie counterpart, although I still don't like his current relationship with his father. Mitsuki wasn't introduced yet, and Sarada is pretty secondary at this moment, even though it's obviously going to change, since she's the deuteragonist. This Sumire girl resembles Hinata, but I still think there are some key differences, like Hinata being way more shy. But at this point it's impossible to say anything, still too early. It's obvious to me that she'll come to like Boruto, and the shipping war between her and Sarada will begin. I'm already on Sarada's side. But overall, I just wish we can get to the good part soon, them graduating and starting their teams. Can we get some Boruto-Sarada-Mitsuki going on already? |
| The moment when the ending song is playing and you see the good drawings from the manga compared to this fail quality the anime has wow |
| I really liked this episode. It felt like a classic Naruto episode. Now we got details on how far apart this series is compared to Shippuden. So it was stated that Boruto takes place 10 years after the war, which means that Boruto is no more than 8 years old. 7-8 years old, I guess he is. But the way the animators depict Boruto and the other new gen characters makes them older than they should be. |
| I am a thunder dragon! Hear me roar thunder and breathe lightning. |
I am waiting for the big reveal as well!!! Anyway... I really liked this episode. I know the animation was nothing spectacular even with the fight scene but I just enjoyed getting to know all the characters that were introduced, get to know them little by little. Pretty cool seeing Shino being the sensei for the class. Yes he didn't talk much in Naruto but for anyone who watched the last couple of episodes of Naruto, nice touch. I'm trying not to be biased because I like Naruto as a series in general and I'm trying no to compare them. But Boruto has had 2 strong episodes that I have enjoyed. I did write up some discussion/thoughts rather than impression so if you would like to take a look https://bdt87.wordpress.com/2017/04/12/boruto-naruto-next-generations-episode-2-thoughts/ |

| Lol to think that Boruto was suspended for two weeks after what happened last time. But its nice that he still has that confident nature that his father has. Its nice that Hinata is making sure that Boruto is actually studying though. The class rep is cute when she tries to approach Boruto though. Hmm Iwabe sure behaves like a bully. If anything Denki doesn't lack in courage but skill. Once he has that he will be a good shinobi. Given that Boruto is the son of the hero of the war and seventh hokage its normal that people will see him differently. Iwabe isn't an easy opponent and he does have some skill as well. Given at this point Sarada doesn't know Boruto i think this takes place before Boruto the move then. And its not just Boruto who can use substitutes as well too. But man that fight. Boruto's careful use of tactics and the fact that he stayed calm was what enabled this victory. Its nice that Boruto also had the conviction he needed as well for that fight. Iwabe sure has ambitions but he's going the wrong way if strength is what he thinks is the only thing needed. Its nice that Inojin is helping in this fight. Its nice that after the fight Boruto has at last gained the respect of the class as well. Im glad that things in the class are much better now. Love the ending theme as well. |

| Who is the guy standing behind Inojin when he was talking to Boruto ? I thought it was Konohamaru but then he just disappeared. |
| "Look... It's a gigantic killing spirit and you just a woman with an invicible Holy Excalibur. Just sit down and watch me, a man who don't know any martial arts and can't use magic will beat it." |
| So Boruto will have to prove his worth to all his classmates in the upcoming episodes, I can look forward to that. I think it's strange how I can't recognize any characters though 😭 |
 |
LOL yeah. I wonder who this girl is. |
 |
| shadow clones like father like son |
 |
| Nice ED song...wonder when Mitsuki's gonna make an appearance?? Poor Iwabe was just born in the wrong era- he's strong enough to graduate, but lacks the academic abilities to do so...unlucky enough for him, it study is now an important part of the curriculum. At least Boruto's not being ostracized and got popular straight away! He seems pretty different to his dad in that respect. I find it hilarious how so many people think Naruto is cool- boy if only they saw his early days XD Animation dipped in quality this episode, but I prolly wouldn't have been bothered if last ep's didn't look so smooth. Judging by the preview though, it looks good again next week! |

| I really liked this episode. I hope Iwabe is in this anime more, he was actually pretty cool. Aww man both Violet and Sarada showing some concern for Boruto? When her hand was shaking I was like "AWWWW!!!" Wonder how that will turn out. Also I said it last week, and it gets even more interesting this week. WHO IS SHE!?!?!?! I hope she becomes somewhat important!!! |

| Seems you can't be a nice girl in this Anime without people calling you Hinata 2.0. You'd think this archetype was rare by how people treat Sumire, not an extremely common one. In any case, a good ep. Iwabe's state is especially fun when one considers that by these standards Naruto would have likely never became a genin... or at least would need a year or two more, if he calmed down enough to open a book and study. Though I don't think we have seen the last of Iwabe. As some said, he is experienced and one wonders how that came to be in this Era of Peace.

You're literally comparing a character who had hundreds of chapters/episodes to develop with a character who was just introduced. When she was just introduced, Hinata had less character and presence than Sumire does in here. NejiHyuga900 said: I really liked this episode. It felt like a classic Naruto episode.

But the way the animators depict Boruto and the other new gen characters makes them older than they should be. I'm not sure if they are 7 years old. There may have been some minor war between the Great war and Age of Peace or, even more likely, the "10 years ago" is just a rounded a number made by kids too lazy to remember the exact one. But even so they do look older than they are, but that's intentional case of Artistic Interpretation. Making chibis main characters is one way to make your show into a commercial failure... or at least catching the wrong demographic. |
 |
| Hmm, decent episode, but feels like filler within filler. |
 |
| So many backgroud characters I want to know about. |
  |
| Anyone as disappointed at how degraded changed Shino's character has become? He use to be the silent mysterious kind of character, now he's just Fodder Supporting Character 34. |
| Eh, feels way too much like Naruto all over again. Disappointed that no risks are taken in the new series, the kids are just clones of their parents, especially Boruto. Themes and plot all feel the same as Naruto so far too, this episode could easily be from Naruto with slightly different drawings, dialogue and names. Except early Naruto was better than this and felt somewhat fresh at the time, while now Boruto just feels tired and cliche. Even the way the class treats Boruto and the way he wins them over is is pretty much the same as Naruto's youth, come on. And looks like it'll just be more op eye wars between rival/friends in the future based on the flash forward. I was hoping for something very different in this series, do we really just need more Naruto after hundreds of episodes of it? Sarada is the only interesting character so far, who deviates from her parents somewhat at least, wish she was mc. Also animation already fell sharply to filler levels in the 2nd episode lol, bad sign... O well, will give it a try for a while at least but so far it feels way too safe and copy paste. |

| What an unnecessary episode, the anime is going to be real shit. What happen to those overwhelming characters from the original Chunin exams arc such as Gaara? Now we get lame ass Iwabe. |

| Good stuff. Happy ep 2 is keeping up the quality. Really enjoyed the interactions Boruto is having with the other students in the academy. Building those live long relationships lol Borutard for life! |
| And this is why you don't do sequels to long-runners. Pre-timeskip Naruto was actually so good, but this is kinda cliche shounen going on. |
Mirorin said: And this is why you don't do sequels to long-runners. Pre-timeskip Naruto was actually so good, but this is kinda cliche shounen going on. Lol then don't watch it? I don't understand why you people force yourself to watch this when you know it'll be mostly the same. |
| I don't know, I feel like I've seen this many times before already. I hope it gets serious and dark as Naruto at some point. All I see here is a father complex. |

Jokuc said: It is - to me - still unacceptable that he looks, sounds, acts and talks like Naruto. In the movie all this C&P Naruto redo academy bollox was skipped and Boruto was his own person with family issues; acting more like Sasuke than Naruto. That was an actual plot point, even. Plus only Sarada and Mitsuki got time, so the clones of other characters weren't such an issue. In the first episode of the filler series though you could tell they'd just lazily cloned Naruto and called him Boruto: same personality, speech and clone spam. I suggest you all just watch the Boruto movie, which was, like, a proper cannon Kishimoto wrote that had a point. Best outcome for this series is it gets to and continues from where movie left off after a few 100 eps, whilst being butchered by the much loved Boruto manga artist. Reading this thread, I'm glad I saw the warning signs with train nakama + Naruto mk2 in ep1 and ran for the e-hills. PS: Also, that woman at end of ep1 really was Anko? I thought it might be but still... lol. The sexist forgotten-about-after-chuunin-exam-chara-evar, now fat/yyyyy. |
