All I wanted to do was be strong like Goku and Gohan and go on adventures with my friends. I still remember focusing as hard as I could in my room, hoping I could finally blast of a kamehameha. Rest well Toriyama.

      Well seemed like there was pretty sizable gap between him working on Dragon Ball stuff after Z, in the 2000's and early 2010's seems like the animators from Z (of maybe other artists, I don't actually know) did the random promotional shit, and he got to do shit he liked, but no one else (at least in the west) gave a shit about, just doing it out of actual passion/fun, like Sand Land, and Nekomajin

                I beg differ, there is not a single redeeming feature about Boruto, if anything Boruto has destroyed the good things left in Naruto. Super on the other hand, looks awful but at least it was fun and it didn't shit on old characters to make the new ones shine. It's been the opposite, old characters like 17 and Freezer got the spotlight.

                I am a manga reader, not an anime watcher, so we are perhaps comparing apples and oranges. I understand Boruto is full of slice of life filler and even had a time travel arc. The manga is far from perfect, but it does manage to coherently continue Naruto.

                >if anything Boruto has destroyed the good things left in Naruto
                I may agree with this, depending on what you mean. Realizing that Naruto and Sasuke failed in their missions even though they resolved their character arcs is a tough pill to swallow.

                To me, Super seems less like a sequel to DB and more like a disjointed series of vignettes. I'm not complaining, though. I still read it every month.

                Anon, I don't watch anime any more, I used to read the manga so that's why I'm telling you there's not a single redeeming feature about Boruto, I simply do not understand how anyone can be ok or even enjoy when a manga shits on old characters (Look how they massacred Sasuke), and don't get me started with the power scaling in Boruto and the alien gods and the androids, it's worst than Dragon Ball where only Goku and Vegeta had a chance when facing an enemy. On the other hand, Super gave old character a time to shine like 17, Freezer, and even Roshi and improved some characters like Broly. Say what you will about Super, but it is way better and more enjoyable than Boruto.

                How did you expect Sasuke to be? He spent all of Shippuden as a terrorist. Or do you mean his abysmal stamina? Otherwise I would agree that Boruto's neglect of the original cast is a major shortcoming. I think it has managed the power creep pretty well, all things considered. It didn't get to the point that only the MCs are relevant until pretty late into NNG.

                >worst than Dragon Ball where only Goku and Vegeta had a chance when facing an enemy

                Everybody is nerfed, Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru (he's an idiot now) and the only ones strong enough to fight are Boruto and Kawaki, it's exactly the same thing like Goku and Vegeta, and you're telling me Boruto is better than Super? Super gave us the Tournament of Power where everybody had chance to shine, Super gave us a movie where Gohan and Piccolo got the spotlight, what has Boruto given us? Nothing but shitting on old characters. And I'm not even saying Super is good, just that is better compared to Boruto wihich is pure slop.

                What Boruto has over Super is a plot. I'm not going to claim it's a great plot, but it directly continues both Naruto's story and themes. There's a linear story with continuity, and new developments are rational and believable in context. Old characters are going through hard times because Boruto is telling an extremely bleak story with extremely high stakes.

                Super, on the other hand, has not managed to string a story together. Like I said previously, it is like a series of vignettes. It has trained the audience to have no expectations of real stakes or impact going forward. After each arc, everything goes right back to normal with the exception of new hair and skin colors.

                Now, all that works for Dragon Ball in my opinion. It's going for striking a balance between the tones of the original DB and Z. It reads like a love letter or homage to the franchise. It is entertaining if you accept it for what it is. However, its lackluster story makes for a less compelling read than Boruto. In Super, I can pretty accurately guess how things will turn out. With Boruto, I really don't know. I think Jura might actually break into the Daikokuten dimension and eat Naruto. In Super, there's going to be a big, long fight, and then everything will go back to normal.

                And what's an ok story with shitty characters? Fun or interesting characters can carry a show with a shitty story or with no story at all, but an ok story cannot carry show with shitty characters. What fun, charismatic or interesting characters does Boruto have to keep you hooked? Or are just curious about which old character is going to die? Are you waiting for Naruto/Sasuke to die or for Boruto to save the day?

                Anonymous

                Well, what I am waiting on is the series endgame. I'm expecting Shibai to show up and shake things up in a big way. I'm also looking forward to how Boruto and Kawaki's relationship is going to develop. And for whatever secret power Himawari has to be revelaed. And for Sarada to become battle relevant again (which she will).

                I don't think Boruto's characters are shitty. I think they're all well conceived but flawed in their execution. Well, except Bort. He has had plenty of development. I think the character writing issues can be largely attributed to the constraints of limited chapters and a monthly release schedule. They just don't have enough room to breathe, and that's also why we haven't seen enough of old characters.

                I understand your criticism because nothing will make me drop a piece of media like hating all the characters. I think I have an atypical view of this series though because I don't hate Sakura or Kaguya either.

Toyo's art has improved a ton, and Frieza is presumably getting ready to menace the universe again. My expectations are not high, but I'm reading it anyway.

      Whenever a famous person dies, they usually give the family a few days to grief before publicly announcing the passing

    Toriyama was a notorious procrastinator and would wait until the last possible moment to work on a chapter. He would draw an entire chapter over a weekend. Do that for 11 years and it will take a toll on you.

      That's moronic, there is literally a Dragon Quest thread on Cinemaphile at all times. It's the most popular video game series in Japan

    All around me are familiar faces
    Worn out places, worn out faces
    Bright and early for their daily races
    Going nowhere, going nowhere
    Their tears are filling up their glasses
    No expression, no expression
    Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
    No tomorrow, no tomorrow

      Sounds like Toriyama died from head trauma.
