The Boruto's Anime Just Made Naruto's Big Nerf Even Worse
Boruto's Announced Part 2 Will Be Similar To Naruto Shippuden
Boruto is quite unusual because, unlike most other anime, it is not split into seasons but keeps a progressive numbering of its episodes. The anime debuted in March 2017 with the title Boruto: Naruto Next Generations and was proceeded by Boruto: Naruto the Movie in August 2015. The anime is based on the manga written by Masashi Kishimoto and illustrated by Mikio Ikemoto, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in May 2016, and then moved to the monthly V Jump in July 2019. The series has received mixed reviews, with many fans drawing unkind comparisons with its predecessor Naruto, while others remain fiercely loyal to the sequel, despite its obvious issues.
Anime fans struggled with the copious amount of the Boruto manga is also quickly approaching the moment of its timeskip, the anime will follow a similar pattern too.
Part 1 Of Boruto Will End Before The Timeskip
The main difference seems to be that, while the split between the two parts of Naruto happened at the same time in the manga and the anime, Boruto will be different. Considering that there are only three episodes left, Part 1 of the anime will end after the fight between Naruto and Code in the woods of Konoha, which happens some time before the timeskip, which still has to happen in the manga. This could mean that the Boruto manga is actually nowhere close to its ending, otherwise Part 2 of the anime will have very little material to adapt.
Fans of the franchise will certainly be waiting for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part 2, to see if it will live up to the standards set by Naruto Shippuden. Meanwhile, the last three episodes of Part 1 will air every Sunday until March 26 on Crunchyroll.
