Ever since the Boruto anime adaptation came out, there has been an ongoing debate about how good or bad the story is. Of course, all fans involuntarily compare Naruto and Boruto and find many moments where the son loses to the father.
First of all, many Naruto fans noticed that the characters we knew, although already mature, had lost their charm. It was as if the authors deliberately belittled and changed the characters and strength of the old heroes in order to present the new characters in a more attractive light to the audience. Even so, some characters remain uninteresting and are almost complete copies of their parents. This only caused a backlash from the fans who then disliked the new characters even more.
In addition, the development of the world itself as a whole has caused a lot of controversy.
New technologies, previously unknown abilities, modern gadgets, etc. have appeared. Some people think that this spoils the whole atmosphere of the shinobi world.
After all, in Naruto we saw a large number of ninja fights, interactions between shinobi from different countries, etc., while in Boruto, although there is part of this, everything turns into too pretentious battles with some "aliens", "gods", etc.
Speaking of battles and antagonists, they are also a stumbling block in the new story. Many fans agree that the villains are either too weak or completely uninteresting and have no compelling story behind them compared to the antagonists in Naruto.
Some fans also noted that they didn't like the animation style. In Boruto everything seems too bright and even a little childish, while in Naruto there were darker and more serious moments from the very beginning.
Naruto is often criticized for the amount of fillers, Boruto didn't escape this fate either, as it has come to a situation where the anime is way ahead of the manga, which is why it is necessary to insert other stories and episodes in order to wait for the release of several chapters of the manga for the adaptation.
There is more than one reason why viewers did not like the new generation of ninja so much, however, according to some fans, in the Boruto manga events develop much more interesting and dynamic than in the adaptation, so perhaps you should read the primary source first.
Is it the plot, the characters, or both?
