Boruto Takes Forward Naruto’s Legacy
‘Naruto’ was an immediate success among fans of animes because of its unique plotline which was exciting, fresh, and adventurous. The readers fell in the love with the characters of the manga and wanted more of the Naruto world.
This led to the adaptation of the series for the big screen. After the end of ‘Naruto’, fans were eager and hungry for more. Thus, the writers of the original came up with a follow-up of the story, creating a new world for the ‘Naruto’ fans called ‘Boruto’.
‘Boruto’ received mixed reviews from fans of ‘Naruto’. For some, this new series is much better than ‘Naruto’ because of so many new characters and interesting plotlines. Whereas, for the die-hard fans of the original series, ‘Boruto’ failed to live up to the expectations of ‘Naruto’.
Fans think that what made Naruto so special and different was his hard work and determination to create such an incredible legacy. And they argue that Naruto’s son, on the other hand, had it somewhat easy for him.
