Boruto: Naruto Next Generations admittedly was off to a rough start. Fans of the previous series, Naruto Shippuden, felt that the new series was too different from the original and often marred the series for its slower pacing and build.

But the last few weeks of the series have been getting more attention from fans as the anime covers the arc once seen in Boruto: Naruto the Movie. And like its predecessor series, the Chunin Exams arc of Boruto has already provided many standout moments.
But Episode 62 of the series has changed all of that. Fans that had been avoiding the series until now have fully come on-board as fans who have been with the anime from the start are loving the fact that their patience has been rewarded. Capping off with the most action-packed, emotional episode in the series yet, fans are noting how this new anime is starting to feel like the original series.
Regardless of whether or not you gave up Boruto: Naruto Next Generations early on, you can agree that the series is on absolute fire at the moment. Read on to see how fans are reacting to Boruto’s latest episode, and let us know what you thought in the comments.
Did you only recently pick up the series based on the Chunin Exams arc? Have you stayed on through its entirety?
For those unfamiliar with Naruto, it has quite a storied history. Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto, the series ran in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump for 700 chapters. The story follows Naruto, a young ninja with a sealed demon within him that wishes to become the leader of his home village. The sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is set several years after the events of the original Naruto story and featuring the children of many of its key characters such as Naruto and Hinata.
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations recently made TV Tokyo’s list of Top 5 Anime in sales and profits, coming third in sales and fifth and profits. The anime has been such a success that the Naruto franchise as a whole stills holds a top spot in many anime profits rankings as well. The series even managed to cross 235 million copies of the manga sold worldwide. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was even given a major bump of approval as it just took over a more familiar timeslot, airing in the same time and day that its predecessor Naruto: Shippuden once did.
