When it's over, The Naruto series still has a lot of potential. The main story of Naruto was wrapped almost a decade ago, but fans know that it continues with Boruto to this day.
Unfortunately, Boruto did not make the desired impact and is seen by most fans as a failure of a sequel. still, The world of Naruto has so much potential, and almost 9 years after its conclusion, it's time for Naruto to return with a worthy anime..
Naruto has been absent from the anime scene for far too long
-
Naruto anime deserves a proper comeback
-
A new series can be set during the free period
Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto series ended in 2014 and was followed by an anime a few years later in 2017.. Shortly after, the Boruto series began, and as fans already know, it didn't make the desired impact, running for a few years before being put on hold by Studio Pierrot. Since then, the entire franchise has been absent from the anime scene, and that's a shame. Naruto has immense potential, and is one of the most popular anime series in the entire world. In comparison, Dragon Ball also made its own comeback in 2024 with Daima.
You don't understand one thing. Because you are no ordinary shinobi. You are a bit different from the jinchuriki, who keep the bijuu inside. You're human, and yet, if anything, you're just like me and Jura. – Kurama to Himawari Uzumaki in Boruto
Naruto has too much ability to sit on the sidelines And not giving fans new content. This is incredibly profitable for Shueisha, as well as for Studio Pierrot. At the same time, fans also know that this is a fantastic story that still has a lot of potential given the vast world that Kishimoto has established.
The return of Naruto will be a win for both the fans and the people responsible for making the anime. One thing fans want is for Naruto to get its new standalone anime series. While Boruto is great and will probably return someday with an adaptation of the two Blue Vortex, Fans want to get the new Naruto anime.
Naruto deserves a new anime to replace Boruto
While the Boruto series has certainly been exciting in parts, the way it has handled the old cast of Naruto is nothing short of embarrassing. Boruto has failed as a sequel to NarutoIt does some things very well though. The amount of disrespect the series showed both Naruto and Sasuke, and the fact that it practically ignored 90% of the old Naruto cast, shows that it really doesn't deserve to be Naruto's true successor.. Most Naruto fans accept this, and at the same time, appreciate the things it has done with the new generation.
This is not the story of a boy aiming to become Hokage. That was my father's story. This is not just my story! – Boruto Uzumaki, Boruto Chapter 1
Of course, as a standalone series, Boruto It will still be an exciting watch for any anime fan. But, as a sequel to Naruto, there are a lot of things it fails to accomplish, and that's why Naruto deserves a new standalone anime. When it comes to a Naruto anime, there are two approaches that can be taken. The first is a new anime series set after the events of Naruto Shippuden.
Say goodbye to Naruto Uzumaki, and welcome the new strongest character in Boruto
Naruto Uzumaki is powerful, but Boruto now has a stronger ninja.
This would work easily because there is a huge timeskip between the end of Shippuden and the beginning of Boruto.
With over 10 years in between, a new Naruto anime could easily fit in here. Another approach is to remake the Naruto anime from scratch, which is also an exciting option.
A Naruto sequel would be the best case scenario
Naruto may come back with a brand new series
The best case scenario for any Naruto fan would be the series getting a new anime with Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi as the main characters once again. This means that the series will return to the end of Naruto Shippuden and continue from there. About a decade between the end of Shippuden and the beginning of Boruto is called the gap period. Fans don't know what happened during this period and how Naruto, Sasuke and everyone else grew.
Even this time there were certainly formidable enemies for them to face, and this is something that can be explored in the new Boruto series. Kishimoto could also be involved and give Studio Pierrot some exciting new ideas, allowing them to create an unprecedented series with powerful enemies for Naruto and Sasuke that fans will enjoy. In some ways, it might be a lot like Dragon Ball Super. As fans know, Dragon Ball continued its journey after the conclusion of the main manga, with Toriyama's involvement on the side. Super was definitely not as great as the original Dragon Ball, but it was still a lot of fun and is iconic to this day. Naruto could do something similar with the new anime series if Kishimoto is willing to get involved once again.
Naruto might even get an anime remake like One Piece
Another approach would be to get an anime remake for Naruto, like One Piece. At this point, the Naruto anime is very old. It started its run in 2003, which makes it 23 years old now. It's also full of filler, with almost half the series made up of filler, which is definitely an inconvenience for the fan. There are also episodes with bad animation, and the sound design is clearly outdated.
The new Naruto remake anime will be absolutely spectacular and fans know that it was teased for the 20th anniversary.Where a clip was revealed featuring a new animation style for Naruto. One Piece, Naruto's rival series, is getting its own anime remake by WIT Studio.At some unknown point. Work is ongoing for this, and If a piece gets such treatment, fans know that Naruto deserves it too. The new Naruto anime will reignite all the interest in the franchise and take it to new levels. Fans know very well that they deserve the best version of Naruto, and while the old still has its charm, it will be fun to see a new take on the story by a young anime staff that fans will surely enjoy.
