I have been keeping up with the show mainly because of characters other than Boruto. For me it felt really draggy as I had already read most manga, and I was really excited to see Mitsuki explain to the team his backstory and family which he was about to do in the film. I also think that the film was a reason for me while the first half was slow as I just wanted them to catch up and move on. But then they released some surprisingly good "arcs" I believe its called, such as the Hidden Mist story, where I was really happy to see that The Hidden Mist was able to collect all the seven swordsman weapons again (idk, it just felt good to see them in place again). I personally like Sarada's personal arc, but it could have been a bit more focused on Sarada.
Finally I was really happy once (in the most recent episode) they finally explain Mitsuki, as I find him one of the most interesting characters. (He is also super cute)
AND how they gonna make him super smart and over power him, but in the movie he needs help passing the chuunin exam, like isn't he supposed to be all mighty and stuff.
This is what I though about the new show, I was sad to see how the modern technology was affecting the traditions of the ninja world and it goes really deep in the event of the East being forced open like an oyster by white people. I do think this movie has potential, the reason I dont think its a repetition of Naruto is because of Mitsuki and Sarada which are completely different from their counterparts (idk who (Naruto and Sakura?)).
I REALLY, REALLY want to see Mitsuki beat them up for some reason. (you've all seen his power, dont lie he is far stronger than Boruto)
