Boruto obliterated the charm of the setting Naruto had. They had too much modern tech thrown in. It has a million other problems (no stakes, boring and ugly characters, Choji's daughter) but Naruto's setting at least had a semblance of 'there's a wider world out there' with some quasi-fantasy elements.

bring naruto back, just give us more original naruto episodes, with the original naruto. I just want to see more naruto, comedy stuff included. Not boruto and not shippuden. I dont care about combat, I just care about comedy and original narutos etc.

Minato series or movie would be great especially if it allows us to step away from the whole senju vs uchiha thing. So anything away from naruto, sasuke, hashirama and madara and itachi would be good imo

As a fan I would say no to both, Naruto is a perfect series that to me ended when Naruto became the president and attained world peace, a prequel would be pointless because Naruto journey start with the day he master the kage bunshin, learning about what other character were doing back then is just not appealing, also, Boruto who?

Been telling folks for years Naruto has an untapped well of opportunity for a lot of characters to have their own shows! I'd love to see a series on Hashirama and Madara that whole war with the Senju and Uchiha would go hard! Or any big clan families could easily get their own spotlights
>>
>>287433853
Nah because anyone with a brain knows it would just be a prequel with post time skip shit because you just know they're going to throw in shit like aliens. People liked early Naruto because it was very grounded. Before all the beam spamming and planet busting, it was still a series about ninjas. That essence is along forgotten from the series.

I would rather have Kishimoto make a manga on another magazine regardless if it's one by Shueisha or not
Samurai 8 sucked ass but I still feel he would be able to pull off a better manga with a better editor, but right now most editors on jump suck

The only way a sequel to Naruto would've worked is if it was a SoL, or so far into the future that Naruto and Sasuke would've died of old age. By the end they were so powerful that they were essentially gods, leaving no way to raise the stakes that would make any sense.

>who even watches boruto
people that want background noise while eating. I have this friend who was my roomate for a long time, he would watch Boruto (he hadn't finished Naruto I had to spoil him the manga when he asked me to). So. I would ask him why the fuck do you watch this? He said he knew it was bad but it was something to watch while eating.

as long as Naruto part 2 is canon nothing can be made with this retarded series that truly is interesting. It's an universe where Nepotism always wins, the genocider guy is suddenly good, the women always like the first boy they like forever for eternity, and the hecking aliens ruin everything about shinobi and the cool ninja atmosphere from part 1.
The only way is to make part 2 non-canon and change the entire story from there, it will never happen, and that's why the series is doomed. bort is a shit sequel because there's nothing you can do that isn't total garbage from part 2 onwards.

this. not that its bad, I think it works for a sidecharacter who is a tragically missing father of the MC. but if Minato was made an MC it would be boring af, unless they introduced a rival or love interest that would get under his skin and break his gary stu image. or just have Kushina as the MC

He had no choice but to do what his editor was telling him with Naruto because his other oneshots were very poorly received by the audience, and even that story was ruined later when they let him make anything just to make him continue writing for years. He refuses to listen to editors and that's why everything made by him after the first arcs of Naruto sucks.

People with bad or absent parents typically don't become good parents themselves. It's far more realistic and interesting for the story than making Naruto some super competent and responsible father.
One of Boruto's few strengths as a series is that it is written with zero regard for preserving some idealized legacy of the original Naruto. Most writers are too scared of angering fans of the original that they avoid all risks and end up rehashing the same story.

the idea of Naruto struggling to spend time with his family was always fucking ridiculous.
You're telling me that the person with access to a chakra reserve so unfathomably large that there is nothing we can compare it to is unable to have dozens of shadow clones do the hokage work while he chills with his family?
>>
>>287441407
All of Naruto's interactions with Boruto are extremely awkward and forced. The truth is he doesn't actually want to spend time with his family because he doesn't know how to be a father, but it seems most Boruto readers are too dumb to pick up on it.
>>
>>287441016
>>287441456
so the message that Naruto was sad about not having parents is completely ruined because Boruto has parents and he's le sad too. but Boruto hating his father is making us the OG fans dislike him even more for hating Naruto. genius writing

Considering how late part 2 had him, he may as well be.
>let alone appreciating, characters that aren't completely 1-dimensional.
Except this doesn't really make Naruto deeper in any sort of way.
We're never given an actual in-universe reason for why Naruto is an absent father and husband, months later Kishimoto is asked about it and he effectively said "look, Boruto had to be relatable".
The issue isn't even solved in a good way, Naruto never really apologizes to Himawari and Boruto stops being angry because Naruto nearly died, not because the neglect stopped.
If the idea was that Naruto was INTETIONALLY avoiding his family to work more because he subconsciously knows his dream job sucks and is trying to convince himself otherwise and as the story progresses he decides it's not worth it, then that would've been a good way to show him as flawed in a non-romantized way while also being interesting.

Because there is no development to naruto and hinatas relationship.

>>287442394
he likes not explaining things in his own story and then each fanboy creates his own headcanon and they debate over the imaginary event until he blames the audience for not getting it and the editors claim Naruto is for dumb people we should *cough* read One Piece *cough* because we don't get how storytelling works!fuck off Yahagi

>>287442394
>Boruto stops being angry because Naruto nearly died, not because the neglect stopped.
It wasn't because he nearly died, it was because Boruto started to learn about and understand all that his dad has been through.
And though Naruto didn't suddenly start spending much more time with his family, he and Boruto were finally able to enjoy time they do spend together, without Naruto being awkward and Boruto being resentful.

The Naruto story is finished, all the countries get along, they had to bring aliens and cyborgs to give a proper antagonist. The best part of Naruto is how the countries didn't get along and had to skirmish with each other. The whole background story of Naruto was villages not trying to step on each other's toes, now it's just lame

I agree, and plotwise the worst decision was Sasuke leaving the village and taking the themes with him

The main issue is that the anime for boruto should’ve never happened or just make the manga weekly.
Shounen tards are allergic to filler so having a yearly anime be nothing but that caused the massive hate mob towards boruto.

That should be the premise of a sequel or part 3 of shippuden.
War … war never changes…. peace … peace is only temporary it comes and goes.
Were there are victors there are losers etc etc ….to achieve true peace sacrifices are need to persevere inner true peace.
A darker series nonetheless , Its time to start killing side character’s shippuden failed to do this.

>War … war never changes…. peace … peace is only temporary it comes and goes.
not really. my idea is to make the world feel bigger. the ninja villages are just that, secluded isolated ninja villages the represent the military strength of each country. my story is simply how the outside world would react to the war with a literal deity. i think the outside world would be a little suspicious of the ninjas after that. i mean you could say hey the ninjas saved the world but from another perspective the ninjas power tripped and tried to provoke and fight a god instead of worshiping it. it's a little inspired by how the 4rth season of AoT starts. It offers a completely different perspective from the view point of the outsiders.

Why did they make boruto so poorly?
Why did they make it set in some retarded high tech future?
Why are all the character designs complete ass and a mockery of the originals?
Why is the plot about aliens and shit?
Honestly, I could have let some random Naruto fan be in control of the creation of boruto and it would have turned out ten times better.

now that the dust has settled, what's Kishi's obsession with paperwork and why did that continue in the sequel. That's like literally the last thing a leader does and is for the sla...interns and assistants even in Japan.

the one-shot wasn't about Minato, it was about Kushina (who wasn't even in the top 20), so it was already a flop. I don't care if Kushina is more interesting or not (as some people try to badly argue), this was not supposed to be about her.

This. The team consists of a sexy brat, a gay psychopath, and an ugly bastard who grow up to become insanely powerful yet dysfunctional adults and go on to have many grand yet poorly documented adventures, also the token girl doesn't have an annoying crush on her emo teammate. Imo, they have a great potential to be much funnier and more entertaining than most other teams in nart and bort. Kishi always wanted to reboot naruto, so he could even give them a happier ending or deage some characters from naruto for the sannin to interact with. I would kill for shota Oro and shota Kabuto shenanigans.
>>
>>287441016
we aren't talking about random people though. This is Naruto who is one of the most overly empathetic, bash his head on a problem til it's solved characters while having one of the greatest time sharing abilities in fiction that he's notorious for spamming. For him to be neglectful to his children of all people is absurdly out of character as is not noticing it. He's more likely to smother them too much or partake in reckless shit with them, which would actually be good writing and properly reflect some of his established flaws. As is there's no in-universe justification for it and is only done for cheap drama

Personally I thought the ending of Naruto was pretty okay even though I had long stopped giving a shit about it as a series, and I think they should have just let it be over. No sequel, no prequel, no spin offs, just over.

>>287445473
>but it's decent
Same. Samurai 8 isn't ground shaking or anus tearing, but pretending it's bellow average or something is just deliberate lying.
Lets not pretend that "competition" for attention back then was particularly fierce.
>>
Boruto is the sequel Naruto deserved. It's just contining the trajectory of the original, where the final third was already stinking garbage, the second third failed to capitalize on any of the potential of the first and everything after Land of Waves wasted the potential established in that arc.
The problem is not the setting, it's the lack of creativity and intelligence from the people making it.

BORUTO SUCKS ASS MAN I HATE HIM SO MUCH
I've been reading this shit for years and it has NEVER been good once. It has ZERO ARCS that live up to the worst arc of Naruto. A random Minato one shot was better than the entire Boruto manga.
I would read 200 chapters of Minato just doing random shit like thinking up jutsu names talking to Kushina Jiraiya Kakashi. Please give me the characters I fucking care about back something man please no more Boruto Kawaki Eida Salad fucking aliens and trees please no more god please.
I'd even take a Kaguya ova over more Boruto. Do not bring the anime back nobody misses it.

>>287458094
Disagree, without knowing what boruto pre bvt would turn out to be, it is a much more interesting premise. Watching a story that you know the outcome of, without it being filled with lore like GOT universe, just doesn't sound all that interesting. Especially when we have already seen all the important moments of the story adapted in shippuden
>>
>>287458094
This. People have been begging for more stories in pre part 1 for like 10+ years. Instead we get a shitty spin off that uses the worst shit from Shippuden as a foundation all while character assassinating some of the older cast.

Absolutely agree I'd also like movies of original Naruto arcs similar to the "Episode" one piece movies with current animation

Movie 4-Itachi/3 way deadlock

Frankly there's a lot of potential in the franchise, and a prequel is a bit cheap of away to try to tackle it in theory, but I'd take that in a heartbeat over the garbage fest that the Boruto storyline is.
