Since “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations”He entered an indefinite suspension in 2023, instead of regrets, many fans celebrated this decision. And, instead of missing anime adaptation, much of the fanatic base was glad that the series took a break. Why do I hate so much? Well simple, too stuffed.
Before his suspension, “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” reached the 293 emitted episodes, but only 88 corresponded to manga things. That is, 70% of the anime were filling arches. Compared to the original series of “Naruto” and “Naruto Shippuden”, where the filling was 40%, this new sequel broke records, but not in good sense.
Pierrot studies tried to sell the idea that part of these episodes were “canonical anime”, that is, totally approved by Masashi Kishimoto, but manga fans did not believe it. Between unnecessary episodes and an irregular animation quality, the series ended with a shattered reputation.
Why did they decide to suspend the series? Officially, Pierrot never explained about it, but the rumors point to the obvious: the anime went to the freezer because of the bad reputation he had worked. It is not the first time that the study buries a project, because in 2012 he did the same with “Bleach” after years of criticism for his filling and other problems. Now, with “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations”, it seems that the study learned the lesson and decided to stop before the franchise sank more. Many believe they are reorganizing everything to bring it back with a more faithful approach to manga, as they did with “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.”
In the era of “Naruto”, the long anime was still a week after week, which forced the filling when the anime ended up reaching the manga. But today, studies have changed the paradigm with shorter and well -planned seasons. Series such as “Jujutsu Kaisen” and “My Hero Academia” do not make use of filling episodes to maintain the quality and hype of fans.
Thus, “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” tried to revive the concept of “new episode every week for years”, which condemned him to an unfortunate destiny because current generations are less tolerant towards filling arches. Now that the anime is in pause, the big question is whether it will become renewed or if this break is the beginning of the end.
In spite of everything, “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” remains an extremely large franchise. The issue is whether Pierrot will learn from its mistakes and will bring back the anime adaptation with better animation, less stuffed and a more focused story. Some believe it will take years to return as “Bleach”, but others expect not so much time. What opinion do you have about it?
