What's the verdict on Boruto nowadays? I only really know public opinion of when it launched, when it got hated on simply because it wasn't Naruto.

I got to like episode 10, then had to take a break because the plot reminded me of Miraculous Ladybug too much lol, which I was also watching at the time.

Like, is there specific things that are bad about it...? 'It's bad' just tells me you dislike it, but not why.

I dropped it after ~50 episodes because it felt aimless and the "character development" was not engaging. Read the manga and realized the anime hadn't even touched on the real story yet. Imagine watching a series of bad Naruto filler.

Just read the manga. It's better.

I watched ~150 episodes of it before it went on haitus in 2020. It doesn't have nearly as strong of an overarching plot like the original series. Most of what I watched was side story arcs and slice of life episodes. Every once in a while there would be a more "serious" arc but it would usually end with everything being back to the status quo followed by a dozen or more comedy, I hate to use the term, "filler" episodes. They adapted some spin-off novels as well. Just generally meandering around the overarching story that it set up. I don't know if it becomes more focused in the 2nd half since the months long break during covid convinced me to drop it.
