Borutoย has struggled at times in its first year of growth, but this episode seems to be the one that will finally establish it as a worthy successor toย Narutoย (kind of like Borutoย himself):

BORUTO EP65 WAS SOOO GOOOOD!!!!!!! the fight scenes for ep64-65 (basically mostly fight sequences) were all drawn digitally with shifting camera motions (probably from 3d vfx progs) and there was no 3d modelling used whatsoever if i’m not wrong i’m… SO AMAZED

As we here at Comicbook.com/Animeย reported,ย Borutoย episode 65 tapped some big talent in both Japan and America to create the gorgeous animation we saw:ย

– boruto ep64-65 basically had naruto movie standard animation
– don’t read boruto manga
– WATCH BORUTO ANIME
Now here’s a hot take: This fan urges you to drop the mangaย and just experience theย Borutoย anime. As ep. 65 demonstrated, the animeย series surpassed both the original movie and mangaย in telling this story.ย
Witness Awesomeness
Watch Boruto episode 65. You will know awesome
