As you can see above, fans got a first-look at Boruto: Naruto Next Generations‘ dub recently. Toonami shared its first promo for the anime ahead of its program debut, and the clip shows off the anime’s dub cast.
Of course, fans will hear some familiar and not-so-familiar voices in this reel. Boruto may be a sequel to Naruto, but it focuses on the latter’s eldest child. In the dub, Boruto Uzumaki is played by Amanda Celine Miller, and she is joined by a few more newcomers.
When it comes to Sarada Uchiha, the girl will be played by Cherami Leigh. Robbie Daymond will be tasked with overseeing Mitsuki. Other actors like Melissa Fahn and Todd Haberkorn will also join the franchise for Himawaki Uzumaki and Shikadai Nara respectively.
The anime will bring back plenty of returning talent as well. Maile Flanagan will be tasked with voicing Naruto as usual while Yuri Lowenthal will continue his work with Sasuke. Sakura will be played by Kate Higgins as usual, and Tom Gibis will return with other Konoha 11 stars as he takes care of Shikamaru.
If you are wanting to test out this anime’s dub, you will be able to check it out on Toonami starting this month. The late-night program will begin airing Boruto on September 29 at 10:30 p.m. and new episodes will go live every Saturday.
