I'm going to be the odd one out and say that this anime was actually really good for what it is, but it is only for a specific audience.

When I started looking into this and watching it I thought it was kind of boring and cliché, but I realised that this is the kind of anime I would have loved to watch when I was a little kid. Through this realisation I was able to draw a lot of enjoyment from the show, and was able to watch it through the eyes of a child.
I've never been too picky with anime, but I definitely struggle ... to find large technical faults with Lance N' Masques that would be dealbreakers. It delivers humour, emotion and character development, and that's all I could really ask for.

I'll agree with some of the negative feedback that the plot is full of lolis (though that might be a positive to some) and gets repetitive, but again, you can't expect all anime to be the same or of the same calibre. I don't believe that this anime wanted to achieve anything like that -- it is just a genuinely laid-back story meant to be light entertainment.

Concluding, Lance N' Masques is DEFINITELY not for everyone, but I think if you're still a child at heart you'll appreciate it. While I wouldn't go out of my way and recommend this to people, I believe that if you're even slightly interested, you should give it a try.

My review might be slightly biased because I am a huge Naruto fan, but I just got back from the cinema and am honestly completely ecstatic after watching this.

WARNING: SOME SPOILERS AHEAD.

The most impressive thing for me were the fight scenes. The animation was simply incredible, and the action (though I am embarrassed to say) was so thrilling that I actually ended up sweating. The soundtrack, as always, was fantastic. However, I will comment that Naruto and Boruto's voices were a bit too similar at times, and therefore the age difference didn't come through well.

A pretty major let-down for me was the whole initial ... conflict between father and son, since it's difficult to imagine that the hero and most emotionally feeling person in the story is neglecting his own son. But I can't deny that it made for a good story and resolution, not to mention character development.

All in all, I simply can't reduce the score very much, and I am basing this also on my mother's opinion who had to watch it with me without ever seeing the show before. She wanted to rate it a 10/10 as well, so I can't argue with the boss.

This was a nice, fun way to finish off after watching Freezing.
Since Freezing was quite intense and emotional, it was nice to watch this and have a light-hearted conclusion.

It doesn't contain much plot as the episodes are only about less then 3 minutes in duration, and it might be considered as a bit lewd and just for fan-service, but I honestly believe it was a great way to settle the plot down before entering into the next season.

Not for everyone, but I at least got some solace from it.
