Boruto 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 to Naruto (kind of like Boruto himself):

Anime fans are a passionate bunch, and this episode gave them an overload of reasons to let that passion burn bright.

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/Anime reported, Boruto episode 65 tapped some big talent in both Japan and America to create the gorgeous animation we saw:

You knew it was coming! No episode of anime can truly be great these days without the official stamp of "LIT AF!"

Anime Over Manga

tldr;
- 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 manga and just experience the Boruto anime. As ep. 65 demonstrated, the anime series surpassed both the original movie and manga in telling this story.

Witness Awesomeness

This fan thinks he spots a martial arts Easter egg in Naruto's battle with Momoshiki:

So Weird, But So Right

This is like playing one of those Pictionary games - but somehow the meaning just translates effortlessly:

For longtime fans of Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden: you're excused for getting a little misty-eyed at this epic and touching callback montage.
