Naruto Fan Shuts Down Boruto Hater with One Important Reminder

Anime sequels have a reputation for being a bit controversial, which point is seen no clearer than in Boruto. As the follow up to Naruto, the story has gained critical praise with its manga, but the Boruto anime has failed to wow on a consistent basis. Naturally, haters love to rib the sequel on social media, but one fan decided it was time to push back.

ALMIGHTY_PUSH responded to a popular meme comparing Naruto to Boruto. Someone decided to poke fun at Boruto for having such fluffy stories even at episode 33 when Naruto was well into its Forest of Death Exam arc. The original show got way darker way sooner than Boruto has, and ALMIGHTY_PUSH wanted to remind everyone there is a good reason for why that is.

Continuing, the Boruto people fan said the sequel will get to a similarly dark point in the anime if people would be patient with the story. The manga has already hit some real dark points, and they will get their anime adaptation in due time.

Plenty of people have been openly supporting Boruto in light of this thread, but others admit they're remaining critical. While Boruto may be starting off from a different place than Naruto, a time of peace isn't an excuse for bad filler in their eyes. If the sequel had more compelling build-up, they would not be so irate, but their main complaint is that Boruto cannot keep a handle on its quality control.
