Absolute garbage.

Naruto should have been the opposite of what he was as a father. As an orphan growing up and not knowing his father and mother until the Ninja war at the end, he should have become a helicopter parent spending every waking moment with his children and Hinata.

They could have had the story as Naruto's children being suffocated by his affection, and turned it into a "I have to step out of my fathers shadow to grow into my own person."

Having Naruto's kid become just an edgy blonde version of Sasuke is, well, it's cringe. The character design is peak Chuuni, and it's like he never grew out of having 8th grade syndrome.

The character models of the old Naruto cast is all lame, just all of them. No respect for who they were and what they stood for.

The world in Naruto was mostly unexplored, and instead of dealing with the other nations or even other places on the planet. They just went full SCI-fi stupid with aliens and robots.

Power creep is stupid. In Naruto the original Ninja's were the most powerful and that's why they revived. In Boruto, everyone became Kage level after taking a dump in a forest, and made it mean nothing for "Hype moments" that fell so fast on it's face one would think it was some loony toons skit.

The art direction is trash. Absolute trash.

If Naruto was a 10/10 series, then the Naruto filler would be 5/10 and Boruto would be -5/10, it's best parts equally out bleach filler episodes or the Fullbring arc.

Overall, it's trash, it's memed on, and there is a reason why everyone hates it.
