I think they are fine, I never felt I was missing something.

I always felt spoiled, since I almost always had two translated versions of the manga, and two different fansubs to compare against back in ye olden days when official subs were usually much later to arrive and often sub-par. :awesomonster:

I saw that, and figured that that means it's finally time for me to start watching through it for real. I think I'll dive in on it after the simul-dub of MHA wraps for the season. Cool that it's hitting the NA audiences en masse now though.

This interview about the thematic differences between Naruto and Boruto is really interesting. Naruto was mostly all about overcoming loneliness and understanding the ways that others face those fears and express them differently, whereas Boruto is more about how to define yourself from under the shadow of another (which Naruto avoided by not knowing who his parents were) and proper use of technology and things: https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/01/06/naruto-boruto-anime-manga-differences/

So, Boruto is a lot more slow moving than Naruto, and it's got a very different focus, but I feel like the manga has finally hit its REALLY big milestone where I think that the series is absolutely worth diving into and checking out now. There are enough hooks into the mysteries going on, but now there's enough context to feel like you've got a better sense of what's going on and enough to feel more of the weight behind the events.

I haven't kept up with the anime at all really, but I'm wondering if anyone else will be / has been and has any thoughts on it.

2 years since we were blessed with episode 65.


That means it's been two years since I started following a ton of amazing animators on Twitter. :monster:

Really though, this episode was a HUGE collaborative project and so many people worked on it, and it was so awesome seeing them sharing their work, and this video does that justice in the best way!

They really nailed how all of the different layers of conversations fall in place. She's excited and wants to be like her dad, her dad knows that he's gotta eventually explain some hard truths but doesn't want to ruin the moment where she's feeling successful, and her mom is worried that her kid's gonna do the same thing her husband did, and then they have to have a discussion about that while not letting the kid know.

This is what makes generational storytelling so interesting.
