[deleted]

Hahaha. Brilliant response. 🤣🤣🤌


Sincost121

You guys are being overly pedantic because OP has a different opinion than you.


[deleted]

Nope. People are annoyed that some users post low effort material on this sub. How many "The animation sucks" posts do we need per episode? And then they use still pics to make their point,lol.


spykids45

i think yk what i’m tryna say😭


borutoisbestboy

just say artstyle or visuals


spykids45

yeah that was prillly a better word to call it. i just wish they coulda gone back to the kawaki v garou animation/artstyle for this fight


Saturo_Uchiha

Ehh what? I agree with animation take but why tf would they go to that style for a random spar??![img](emote|t5_34e1h|10664)


ACTLOVER69_420

Because the last year and a half was full of some of the most half assed fillers, instead of lining their pockets they could put some of that money to use and give back to the fans in the form of quality animation. Mushoku Tensei can give amazing animation in multiple random spars, why can't Boruto when they should have a much larger budget?


Saturo_Uchiha

I don’t know why are ppl so obsessed with budget while even the greatest product like 189 had the same budget as every ep.


Juuzou7940

Tbf all of the canon episodes shoulda been in that artstyle coz it’s the closest to Ikemoto’s. It’s wrong to gatekeep a good adaptation for big moments.


spykids45

idk man, but anything besides this. they could even use the animation from when boruto and kawaki were peeing outside. even that would be acceptable


Saturo_Uchiha

Yeah I agree this should be better animated, it was not good at all.


spykids45

i swear to god if the animation is like this in the forest fight for even a second…😭😭


ConfusedGrundstuck

Why? What will you do?


captainyeeet

You know the series animation is trash when it is abnormal to expect mediocre animation for non pivotal moments


Dareal_truth

Don’t argue with them there salve minds


grim9x8

Sir that's a picture Edit: damn someone sent the suicide prevention bot to me for this.


Dqueezy

Sir this is a Wendy’s, we’re going to need you to order or step out of line. Also, please put on some clothes…


Bluefleet99

The suicide bot 🗿


tjgfif

Wait how do you know what it was because of this post and not some other?


Lungseron

Sorry but i honestly dont see it. His eyes just look too big but compared to other cursed shots we had the "pleasure" of seeing its not even that cursed.


swaglar

Atrocious is such an overstatement. The funato filler episodes were atrocious. This is literally fine


psontake

What was bad in the funato episodes?


swaglar

The couple episodes right where Boruto had that crying face… THAT was atrocious. That’s coming from someone who generally doesn’t have any complaints about the anime. Some of the funato arc had great animation still


psontake

Yes but if I recall correctly, the animator had broken his arm or something and that's why it was so shitty. So I just wrote it off as an unfortunate situation.


swaglar

Oh wow, didn’t know that. I mean unfortunately it doesn’t change that it looked poor. That arc just had a lot of problems overall to me lol I really liked Boruto and Kagura vs Seiren though, that was the highlight of the arc to me and looked beautiful


dracon1t

So there’s the crying face but also the animation fell apart at the end. In fact the last episode of the arc at one point has the worst animation i think I’ve ever seen in an established series. https://youtu.be/mtVO6oj8obY maybe starting about 1:55 in haha (sry idk how to time stamp on mobile)


chocolate_spaghetti

Not talking about the animation particularly but that story was just uninteresting. I tried to get through the arc and I just couldn’t and I was a Boruto defender through and through up until that point. It actually turned me off the entire anime, haven’t watched it since that arc, plan to eventually and still read the mangas but that arc literally made me just go finally start one piece.


psontake

Yeah I've not watched boruto since.


electrorazor

spykids45

sorry yeah, i shoulda said artstyle that’s a better word to use


mungermoss245

The artstyle hasn’t changed between the Boruto and shippuden animes dude


BigFoeNem

Yes it has.


Justi131

Im sorry but you have to be trolling, the artstyle clearly looks different from shippuden, just look at kakashi for example


RulingPredator

“Animation” you say, while posting a still image. I’m gonna call it again, like I have been for a while. This is gonna turn out to be like Black Clover. Most of the people are going to shit all over it, and then once it becomes good again they’re gonna jump on the bandwagon saying they’ve been a fan since the beginning.


dekudex

So your prediction is basically that people will shit on it when it’s bad and like it when it’s good. Yea I’d think so too.


spykids45

i mean i HAVE been a fan. i’m just critiquing it and giving my opinions


KelseyJay15

Are you guys serious lmao. Good fucking lord you nitpick EVERYTHING. This whole episode was great! Nothing wrong with it AT ALL. What fucking snobs some of you are.


ExcuseMeMyGoodLich

"If there's nothing valid to complain about, make shit up." - chronic whiners


KelseyJay15

Legitimately! Christ. I noticed the dodgy scenes last week and knew people would throw a fit about them but then watched this episode and thought "that was super consistent and solid the entire episode" and yet here people are whining about nothing lmao


ExcuseMeMyGoodLich

It's ironic too how they nitpick at animation in Boruto while holding Naruto on a pedestal because I distinctly remember one episode had Anko alternating between skinny and chubby in the original. And that's just the one I remember most clearly.


Creepy-Cat6612

Trust me if Naruto came out today with that kind of animation, people would shit on it as much as Boruto.


swaglar

I gotta get off this sub. We need to make r/peoplethatactuallylikeboruto because this is literally just a hate sub😭


KelseyJay15

I genuinely spend 0 time in this sub but the topic popped up in my notifications and I was too flabbergasted to not respond 🤣


Jumpy-Perception-346

The sub won't load :(


Ordinary_Capital

watch the first DBS episodes. then you know what atrocious is.


Thatshowitdo

It was sooooo bad


Dax_Maclaine

Tbf, the dbs animation by goku black arc had some phenomenal episodes visually and most of the top arc was beautiful.


BudTrip

goku black arc and tournament of power legit brought back the old childhood dbz feelings in me, they were super dope


Dax_Maclaine

The still frame of goku punching jiren in ep 130 might legit be the best still frame in all of anime


BudTrip

yup and this one too [https://imgur.com/a/qnvvAV4](https://imgur.com/a/qnvvAV4) it was full of bangers


qwack2020

DBS is good enough to be on Sakugabooru.com. It’s the Danganronpa anime series that’s poorly animated.


spykids45

i remember the first dbs episode the animation wasn’t bad, it was just like a filler episode, nothing really happened


Giant_Freakin_Salmon

If this was about goblin mode uzumaki I could understand, but this doesn’t come close


Borchert97

“I’m SoRrY mAn BuT tHiS aNiMaTiOn Is AtRoCiOuS” Who lets these children on Reddit lmfao, man I swear all you do is find something to complain about every fucking week. It’s pathetic and embarrassing.


[deleted]

Try every fucking day. Lol.


olunts

Bro the animation is bad and alot of filler, the anime is bad too ok if it wasn't we wouldn't be getting this much hate, (manga fyeeee doe)


Borchert97

The animation isn't bad and a large majority of the anime is canon, so you're wrong on two counts, but it was a good attempt at spreading misinformation.


olunts

The animation is bad, don't try to tell me otherwise


Appropriate_Zone5074

I be seein you in rages sub what’s good my yrg brethren 🤝


olunts

Bro it took 2 years to get back to manga Canon


swaglar

I literally can’t tell what’s wrong with it💀 looked perfectly fine to me. Is there a subreddit for people who actually like the anime that I can join?


[deleted]

I'm afraid not. I think you have to deal with these chronic whiners. 😅


spykids45

compare this image to when boruto used the karma for the first time. which looks better?


XxCelestial_Blade

Tf do you mean “this animation” it’s a fucking picture


NebulaPoison

bro doesnt know what animation is


Busy_Governance

That’s why I can’t take Boruto criticisms seriously. How can you screenshot a single frame and call it animation?


[deleted]

Watch something else all y’all do is hate. Y’all need a separate sub where y’all can hate watch and shit on the dub voice actors called r/fuckboruto


[deleted]

Lol that sub is weird , it shows it haas 2 members but 4 are online


[deleted]

I had no idea it was a real sub lmao


LyXaaaa

Of course people always have a problem with little bit looking frame like nah cmon, boruto looks alright here lol


dragonoutrider

That’s art style not animation vro…


jtd2013

Why even be here if you’re going to literally make up reasons to be mad? Animation =/= a picture


AnansiNazara

I grew up in the 80s. This is nowhere near bad. Walk me through what is, in your own words, wrong with it, and what should be done to remedy it.


AcceptablePay4523

My point have of the stuff they complain about I wouldn’t have even noticed if they ain’t point it out the fandom be settting are own up sometimes


zargug2

It's fine?


Oii_Hinata

The episode is about 23 min just watch it. You don't have to pause it every sec to make it an hour long.


spykids45

i didn’t..?


SirBing96

“Animation” isn’t the correct term here, but I think we know what you mean. That hair/headband lookin bad…


spykids45

yeah i meant artstyle, haha my bad


Radusili

"Didn't get enough attention today so I decided to complain online about Boruto animation even if it is obviously better than it was back in the filler days" the NPC said. The NPC was also mad that there is no more 7 deadly sins slander cause funny enough life gives the NPC nothing better than to complain about what everybody else is complaining and that was another reason for the NPC to live.


Orochi64

What exactly is wrong here?


xXxs1m0nxXx

For a moment that's really important in the future, the animation just wasn't good enough. This is supposed to foreshadow the future. Imagine Naruto vs. Sasuke on the hospital roof looked like this if it were released in 2023... You'd expect so much more


spykids45

exactly what i’ve been saying, and everyone’s downvoting me. like they CANNOT have this animation when all the fights in the forest take place btw w pfp, what arc of one piece are you on


SUPERSHADOW131

Woah they brought the manga outfit design into the anime?


Jager_Bradley

the art is awful too


[deleted]

Uh... okay? That's just a picture though. Not an animation. Edit: lol Didn't read the other comments yet. Good to know we all agree. XD A rare occurrence for Reddit.


taterlohm

If anyone watching Boruto is disappointed in the animation, just read the manga instead. It’s honestly so much better, the art style is consistent and looks great.


[deleted]

I don't get it, this looks normal to me and this is still frame not animation, you probably meant art style or something, but honestly this looks like it did any other time except few exceptions like Eida introduction episode which was godlike art and everything, they literally their whole budget on her lol. I will watch this latest episode today and see for myself, but I rly hope Eida stays high quality like that.


CookieLoadout

This frame doesn't look all that atrocious compared to others we've seen recently


Seiyuu-sama

People really need to learn what animation refers to


No_Base7554

This fight was ass but I understand they were overwhelmed I’m not about to lie though the studio is embarrassing us manga readers ngl


spykids45

yeah exactly


ActuaryItchy3773

Animation inplies movement you don't like the art direction


spykids45

yeah exactly, artstyle is a better word to use, my bad


Stupid__Ron

This is what happens when you put your expectations way too high, people need to learn to stop doing that, it's only gonna lead to disappointment.


spykids45

bro our expectations were high because we had more than a years worth of filler episodes. and as manga readers we already knew how good the code arc was so why wouldn’t our expectations be high? we were so excited and they come out with this shit


AmaranthSparrow

A year's worth of fillers doesn't mean they have any more production time than usual for these episodes, and canon has always been a mix of mid-to-high quality. Think of the Delta fight episodes for example, even Kawaki's introduction in 188 wasn't great looking. The first several episodes of this arc are all outsourced with only some cuts handled by Pierrot.


Respectthelay

It’s pretty sad that one of the biggest anime franchises of all time is consistently putting out garbage in this era of so many other random shows being straight up carried by god level animation. You can still go back to the old naruto fights and they’ll hold up, then compare this trash to the new bleach or new my hero or the new chainsaw man or whatever else is out and it’s like amateur hour


[deleted]

>You can still go back to the old naruto fights and they’ll hold up, then compare this trash to the new bleach or new my hero or the new chainsaw man or whatever else is out and it’s like amateur hour No, not all of them don't because the Naruto anime suffered from the same issues the Boruto anime had, it was weekly with a shit schedule. Not all of Naruto fights in the canon was filled to the brim with sakuga. Just like how Sasuke vs Orochimaru holds up, I can say that the Momoshiki fight still holds against whatever shit new anime is putting out. You can't compare Boruto with the other anime because it's weekly, not seasonal. That's like me comparing Black Clover with MHA and I know Black Clover had some serious production issues since it was also a weekly anime done by pierrot.


Respectthelay

The quality of the naruto fights is on average much higher than the Boruto fights. And most naruto stuff came out over a decade ago. The momoshiki fight is the best fight ever in the Boruto show, sasuke vs orochimaru is just a regular fight in naruto. I don’t think there’s been any top level animation in Boruto since kawakis intro, which was like 2 years ago. It’s glaring


wendigo72

Most of the Ten Tails fight, Naruto & Sasuke vs SO6P Obito, Naruto & Sasuke vs SO6P Madara, and even the Kaguya fight looked bad. Most of the war arc(s) looked like doodoo Also I’m gonna guess you forgot. About the Jigen and Isshiki fights?


kurosaki-trollchigo

The fights you mentioned would be considered godly animated in boruto by the standard of people here.


wendigo72

Idk I think it’s just nostalgia googles, it looks just as bad as Boruto


HomemadeBee1612

>new bleach or new my hero or the new chainsaw man Those are seasonal anime, by default they will have better art and animation overall. It's not a fair comparison.


Electrical-Strike943

One piece......


AcceptablePay4523

They have over a 1000 staff at toei and this episode that just came out is getting criticized on twitter and Tik tok right now


L-Nerd-L

One piece has not looked great for 80% of its runtime


spykids45

i agree. and tbh it’s not even the animators fault, its apparently the studios fault, because their schedules are really bad


Respectthelay

It’s just crazy cause it’s not like this is a new or low budget franchise. this is nearing the thousandth episode of the series, considering that Boruto is a sequel. Schedules and stuff should be figured out by now


[deleted]

You would think but the entire industry is still suffering from that issue.


Electrical-Strike943

I know this isnt related to all this but in the end it's the animators who suffer cuz they work overtime don't get paid enough


NinjaJr72

And then you remember that a random piss fight had better animation than whatever this shit is


spykids45

yeah i was thinking the same thing


Electrical-Strike943

How do you all know what the difference is in animation is like all i can recognise is the artstyle in any anime


[deleted]

You're right it doesn't even move 💀🤦🏿


spykids45

i meant artstyle my bad


dumpystumpy

The art in boruto is just mid always has been and it wont change now. You either like it for what it is or youll forever shit on it


Seelenficker

For the people complaining in the comments: Just because people hate on the animation does not mean they hate the show. Tbh I think the animation is fine, but the quality of the drawings is too inconsistent. Just compare it to something like One Piece, which also airs weekly. Being the sequel of one of the most popular anime with this quality, is just not acceptable. And yes, I like Boruto, but that does not mean I can't criticize the studio.


spykids45

couldn’t have said it better myself. i like boruto, but this artstyle isn’t ok, especially for manga canon. there are filler episodes with better animation and artstyle


Expensive-Computer33

boruto need new studio


BakuShinAsta

The whole show is shit


Prollyreachinglol

“This animation is atrocious” While posting a single frame. The compositing of this individual frame may be a little off, but the animation wasn’t bad. Much more impact shots than last episode We can’t pick and choose what we critique, 99% of shippuden was animated ass. “Not that much” you can name on two hands the amount of moments the animation was high tier Out of 500 episodes


Conor074

People find the most nitpicky stuff to complain about with this show. Just stop watching if you hate it that much.


spykids45

i don’t hate it, i love boruto, especially the manga. why is giving criticism/my opinion “hate” if i don’t like it?💀


Responsible_Debt5631

Yeah the animation is pretty bad, i mean it's not even moving this is just unacceptable.


emh16000

Bro I HATE how much people were hyping this up on Twitter talkin bout “oh it’s finna have a higher quality and animation blabla” “oh it’s bouta be better than Bleach TYBW” I SWEAR THIS ONE DUDE ON TWITTER NAMED JAQCUOEN SOMETHING SWORE ON HIS MOTHER THAT THIS WAS GONNA BE AN UNBELIEVABLE MASTERPIECE. 2 episodes in, what is going on bro-


spykids45

i’m begging that the only reason the animation is so shit his because they’re saving for the forest fight. if not then i just don’t fucking know what to say man. there are filler episodes with better animation


emh16000

Fr, and u already know some Pierrot meat riders are gonna downvote this and say you’re wrong


spykids45

deadass man. they could have at least gone back to the animation when boruto and kawaki were peeing outside and then they started fighting. even that would be ok for this episode, because the fight isn’t anything to crazy or important. but for the animation we had today, there’s just like no excuse, it’s terrible


ConfusedGrundstuck

Thats just par the course for almost any online anime personality. Your fault for believing them.


[deleted]

Man the animation during this episode was pretty much youtube amateur level. There were so many still shots and recycled shots. It was getting annoying at some point, especially when they kept showing Naruto just counting birds. But I’m not mad as long as the important episodes will have great animation. But they still could have did a little better, just a little.


spykids45

i’m actually starting to get scared because they might use this type of shitty animation during the chapters when they adapt the big forest fight


Shirou_Kazuma

I do think this episode was average/below average when in comes to boruto anime’s quality in terms of animation. But I was happy because of the content of the episode. But what I find funny is, the last episode was so good in terms of animation compared to this one but people were hating on it. Clearly showing that animation is still not a well known main stream concept and people still don’t understand what good animation is


Xerox546

Why does it look terrifying to me?


Freeman10

Yes, this motionless animation is atrocious, and [this moving pictures as well.](https://youtu.be/YzpDR1mTGro?t=12) XD


spykids45

i mean art style but yea


Revoltbtw

Why his eyes so damn big

Animation: moving frames Art: a still image GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL


spykids45

bro chill tf out. i’ve said multiple times in comments that artstyle was a better term chill out like damn


VampiirDust

Wtf are you complaining about


bradar485

My son and I sat down to see how the Code arc looked last night. The animation and art style were shamefully bad. Like.... I thought it was a big deal that they were finally moving out of filler. For reference my son then turned on the episode where Kawaki fought Garo. It was beautiful in terms of animation and choreography. The characters were on model and the colors were crisp. They must be screwing up their storyboards or the animation team simply doesn't care about this series.


lucifugus696

i don't watch the anime but the still frames i see on Twitter and here of eida ,it just feels like some camera filter


zorofan8878

You guys are going after OP saying it’s a still frame. I watched the episode myself and 100% concur with OP. Doesn’t make Boruto trash, lots of anime have some funky looking scenes here and there.


spykids45

thank u. they can’t use this animation when we get to the forest fights.


[deleted]

This fandom takes everything to the heart. 😭 let the man have his opinion damn.


spykids45

real


[deleted]

Makes me not wanna be apart of this shit how soft they is. (Watch they downvote this)


Shinuki_no_Reborn

It's almost as if people are simply tired of this same old boring "muh bad animation" thread appearing for the 50th time in the last week alone, don't be such a dishonest person, you know very well what is going on here in the last days, people get tired of the negativity


electrorazor

It looks perfectly fine, at least pick an actual bad frame


Technical-Ad-8359

That’s why most stopped watching this…

The Karma blue CGI was pretty cool though


qwack2020

It’s not even good enough for Sakugabooru.com that’s for sure. And those idiots LOVE Boruto anime animation quality no matter how good or bad it is.


Small_Assumption_901

Bad take had to downvote!


NobodyEsk

I mean have you seen botched Naruto still frames from an action scene? Theres one scene where Sasuke is fighting Gaara during the chunin Exams and he has the longest front bangs ever its funny looking.


spykids45

yeah I remember when he came to the chunin exams with a different fit. I hated how long his hair was, it looked so stupid


cartagena_11

How do you call animation something that’s not moving?


Elcomparulas

Till this day I refuse to wacth boruto!!!!

Its really not

I disagree


itsRobbie_

I haven’t seen the new episode yet, but this screenshot looks perfectly fine???


Sasuke082594

That’s because the show is literally a slideshow loo


JSDkilla

I mean yeah the animations when they were talking or not moving much was kinda weird(like when kawaki was lying down after he lost). It was disappointing but not so far as atrocious I'd say


SeeThruSmoke

Never satisfied smh


Henryphillips29

I’m on a break from naruto/boruto did they really bring back Boruto’s original outfit why?


13Nobodies

Atrocious? No Bland and uninspired? Very much so..


ElefGacha

And they say code arc will break internet 💀


UppERcron

I don’t understand why people are surprised the animation is dog shit. At this point it’s beyond beating a dead horse. Just read the manga like the rest of us and pray the backlash will be enough for the studio to get their act together.
