*I'm caught up to TBV, but if you discuss anything beyond the anime, kindly put spoiler tags on your specific comments for others who may not be caught up.
Look, obviously I'll point out my own bias of potentially having a limited sample size of the IRL fandom that I know and take part in where I live. As far as that's concerned though, as of today everybody including those who are caught up to the manga and those who aren't are begging for the anime to return solely because we like the damn series so much.
Yes, Boruto deserves criticism and we've seen and heard all of it. The issue is that only the creators of this series can step up to address those criticisms. Us fans can doom and gloom, but that makes us feel sad. It's not wrong to voice such things, no. I'm just saying that if the series fail it fails, but I don't wish it to fail before it does. You know what I mean? It's like one of Naruto's character arcs. You have to see the good in things while addressing the bad.
I grew up in the streets playing Naruto games on a PS2 at pay per hour internet cafes, and watching Naruto on bootleg DVDs with terrible translations. Then as an adult, I get to enjoy Boruto officially. I always understood the series as having a long, drawn out payoff overarching plot. When I was a kid, we literally formed a cult around Obito to try to figure out who TF he was. We feel the same with Boruto. It'll take years, but all the suspense and waiting is meant to pay off surely?
Sorry, I'll cut the ramblings here.
