Mr. Grave wrote: It lacks that feeling of grandeur that Naruto had and the storyline doesn't appear to be as intricate or engaging. Kishimoto was good at using tricks to hint at a deeper story tough, even if we never got that story. Whether that's a good or a bad quality is a matter of taste.

Mr. Grave wrote: Not to mention how the writing is sometimes so shitty it hurts i.e Sumire's quick transition from shy girl to seductive in the manga. She was extremely driven and completely not-shy when fighting with the Nue. She likes Boruto, hence showing the same drive. Mr. Grave wrote: Also, Konohamaru and Mitsuki acting like dumbasses just so Boruto can have his time in the spotlight. Eh, matter of taste. We have little idea of what Konohamaru can do, making it hard to say if he can do better. Mitsuki is an enigma, so it's the same. He doesn't seem to whip out sage mode unless he absolutely has to, and tends to wait and observe before all else.

Mr. Grave wrote: But I do believe there are criticisms that are unwarranted, like the Boruto hate. I don't think genin Boruto is less annoying than genin Naruto. He juet has a less emotional past. Standard sequel fare. People have expectations of whatever kind, and get angry when they're not met. I've seen people wanting slice of life, wanting battle manga, wanting character drama. Whenever the Anime or Manga meets one of those demands, the other two groups get angry.
