Ancladar wrote: Let's be real. Boruto being the only one able to see them is dumb. I don't think so. If everyone could see and senses it, then the Dark Chakra would be completely useless. Ancladar wrote: Buroto being another durn child of prophecy is stupid it didn't need to happen again it's what kinda ruined Naruto. Except there is no prophecy, not really. Toneri suggests great things are coming that he can help, whereas Momoshiki's words suggest Boruto is the reason it all goes to hell. A good prophecy can do a LOT for the story when it's not being played painfully straight, like with Naruto. Some of the greater stories involve prophecy and how to use it well. Probably my favorite story of prophecy is Oedipus Rex.

Ancladar wrote: It also feels weird since it didn't seem like he had it when the movie happened until after he fought those guys which was when he was taking the CE. This new show takes place during academy years so it doesm't add up to me. The eye so far only responds to the Dark Chakra. It could simply be that Boruto doesn't figure out how to control it until later. Kakashi needed some 10-20 years to use Mangekyou. Besides, this was obviously set up this way: The Manga about his post-movie years and the Anime about his pre-movie years, so they won't run into this endless meaningless filler problem. with coordination between the writers, the Anime can be meaningful. Ancladar wrote: People chased Naruto all the time when he was doing bad things. So they should be keeping an eye on freaking pre-teens with magical powers and weapon skills cause they can do major damage. It would basically mean keeping an eye on every single kid all the time.

Ancladar wrote: The not telling adults is a tired cliche that has been old since the Goonies. It's Truth in Television. I've got two nephews, and if they told me some fantastical story, i'm gonna assume they made it up. Kids fantasize all the time. Ancladar wrote: The fact they just forgive people for going nuts and attacking people is dumb too. Shino would be in a prison or a straight jacket if they had any sense. We haven't seen much of that yet. We don't know what happened to the others. We know the kids are aware that the attackers were being possessed so they'd forgive them. Naruto is now aware people are acting weird and losing chakra. Shino claims to have been possessed, which Naruto saw before so i don't see why he'd be in a straight jacket.

Naruto/Boruto isn't western, and it's still not set in modern times. Our laws or sense of justice doesn't apply.

Naruto was also a shonen series. Making Boruto slice of life would be the surest way to destroy any interest, since Slice of Life fans wouldn't expect it in Boruto and Naruto fans would want what they came for, IE battles.
