It had to happen at some point, firstly because the rumors had been going around for too long and secondly because we have reached that point in the ‘Boruto’ anime where we were practically running out of material to adapt.
Although it has been filling in the gaps with spin-off adaptations, light novels, and its own original plots, ‘Boruto: Naruto Next Generations‘ has stayed as close to the manga as possible. And now that the series has entered the Code Archas also officially announced that it is coming to an end.
end, but not much
Eye, that ‘Boruto’ is closed for now to put an end to its first part, which will conclude with episode 293 on March 26. But this does not mean that we are going to say goodbye to the series altogether, because Studio Pierrot has already confirmed that a sequel is on the way.
Just as ‘Naruto’ was divided into two parts with the first anime and with ‘Naruto Shippuden’, it seems that something similar will happen with ‘Boruto’. It has already been confirmed that the green light has been given to the second part and that it is in production, but for now a release window has not been confirmed.
Many ‘Boruto’ fans had been seeing this hiatus coming for a long time, because in the end only a third of the chapters adapt the manga and we were already running out of material. The manga is also published monthly in V-Jump magazine, making it difficult to maintain a weekly anime at this pace.
Perhaps it would be a good idea for ‘Boruto’ to be broadcast seasonally from now on instead of uninterruptedly like these seven years, but anime is a goose that lays golden eggs and perhaps Studio Pierrot isn’t very up for the job.
Most likely, the last chapter of ‘boruto‘ left us with a little hook to bite us with the second part… What we have to do while is to be patient until the manga has a little more time to take off.
