The excitement among Boruto fans is palpable, especially as the illustration showcases the cherished character Gaara alongside his adoptive son Shinki and his brother Kankuro, depicted in a lively market scene with local children.
Prospects for Boruto’s Return
Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the new visuals, there are still no indicators that the Boruto anime will be returning anytime soon. Fans will have to await an official statement regarding the series’ future.
Without any concrete updates, the anime is likely to remain on pause for the foreseeable future. Previous production concerns, particularly the excessive number of filler episodes, impacted its overall reception. Fans remain hopeful that when Boruto returns, it could adopt a seasonal format, improving pacing and minimizing fillers. Additionally, there is anticipation for a potential anime adaptation of the Two Blue Vortex storyline.
Where to Catch Boruto
Watch on Crunchyroll
While Boruto is currently on hiatus, fans still have access to its existing library of episodes. With almost 300 episodes available, there is plenty of material to explore, although much of it consists of filler content.
You can find the entire Boruto series, along with the Naruto episodes, streaming on Crunchyroll.
