At this point it is hard to tell where this anime is going, however, I believe it has potential. So far there are only 2 volumes of the manga which have been released, which is the soul problem of the anime Boruto. Creators of the show did not wait long enough to start working in the show when there is no manga content to follow. Majority of the episodes are filler based because they are waiting for a main story to develop from the creator. They don't want to create this whole straying themselves just for the manga to go in a

completely different direction. Naruto did not get an anime until the author was well into writing the manga, and whenever we were waiting for manga releases the fillers came. I think that this anime would do much better if there was a larger gap between Naruto Shippuden and Boruto. We could have settled for just the movie and waited a few years after that for the anime.
I also feel like everyone is bashing Boruto because they have made this transition form the action packed final episodes of Naruto Shippuden to the weak and inexperienced characters of Boruto. This anime is a lot more lighthearted than Naruto. Sometimes I even find myself wanting some character to die just so these characters can experience pain and grow stronger. Its kinda like in Pokemon when Ash starts in a new region and Pikachu suddenly go from level 89 to 5.
Thus far my favorite character is Sarada. I love her attitude. She has Sasuke's snarky know-it-all personality but she's just as talkative and strong as Sakura. So far, the episodes focused on her have been the best in the anime. I also like the BorutoXSarada scenes. They're adorable and funny.
I personally like the art of Naruto better but I also tend to enjoy older anime styles. The art in Boruto is just too smooth and simplistic for me, the roughness of the original Naruto was more realistic to me.
But yeah just give this anime its time. I might just give myself a break and wait until there are more episodes before I decide it its really trash or not.
