As part of theotaku discussion I'll be reviewing three anime, a spinoff, a reboot and a sequel, this is the sequel to Naruto, Boruto.

Boruto is the trouble making son of Naruto attending the Ninja Academy trying to separate himself from being just the Hokage's son, in fact he has some serious daddy issues with the fact that Naruto is often too busy running the country to see his son. Having been placed on a team with Sarada the daughter of Sakura and Sasuke along with Mitsuki who has a suspicious link to Orochimaru, Boruto sets out to repeat what his father did as a kid along with the same evils along the way which is exactly what it is.
I'll break it down to elaborate. The biggest issues surrounding the show is the fact that they spend all this time recycling old story lines and doing them worse not made any easier by the introduction of technology. The enemies are boring, the offspring of the Naruto cast bar Chocho, Sarada and Himawari are boring, the new characters are also boring and most of the plots and stories are boring because it fails to evolve beyond it's roots, it feels like a worse Legend of Korra which has the same issues but it goes to show how good the original Naruto is because it's strongest elements are the Naruto cast members who have evolved as characters, this is the series that made me like Sasuke Uchiha who used to be one of the worst characters in anime. Naruto himself is a very believable father as well, he's fully aware that his position is making him distant from his children especially the older Boruto but struggles to balance his job and paternal duties mostly because he didn't have his own father to learn from.
Kishimoto can write good characters but does not fit them into the best stories and relies way too much on his protagonists always being the same.
Dubbing is the same quality as Naruto.
It's quite a dilemma Boruto finds itself in which doesn't seem to be improving anytime soon as it looks to run just as long as Naruto.
Final Verdict: I feel let down by Boruto, it showcases promise frequently only to be let down by poorly written retreads of older stories and led by a main character who may as well be Naruto 2.0.
