Did you not watch the Boruto movie? He had a grown up voice there as well.
Boruto 1
Liked this a lot. Boruto (and some others) and some great reaction faces in it. The opening scene is fairly interesting, and was more compelling to me here than in the manga for whatever reason. Enjoyed the Boruto and Shikadi scenes. Guess we will find out what the deal with Denki aura thing is later on.
Seems like we are probably a while away from adapting the movie, if they plan on doing that.

I love Pokken!
This episode was okay but I think i will hold out on watching until they start animating the Gaiden chapters.

I really liked this episode. Not having that intricate background from the original naruto story, i don't feel to concerned with not knowing it tbh. Then again, i kind of got all my naruto fill from the video games so it's a waste for me to sit back and watch all the episodes lol so for a new show, I like the feel and where it's going. I was impressed by the movie too so i definitely feel like I'm gonna keep up with this.

First episode was fun.
This anime is in a unique position where the audience can be invested in tons of background adult characters because they spent like a decade with them already. Hope the show leverages them in some way. They don't need to take center stage (maybe once in a blue moon to showcase their powers), but I hope the show keeps them at cameo or above status.

No, I only just got the movie on BD this week.

In terms of continuity, should I watch the movie? Or will it get covered by the anime ala DB Super?
You could. I doubt they rehash that story a third time. Especially with Yamashita as director.
I think he still has Sasuke's headband he got in the movie. The eye probably is some form of byakugan. I guess he loses an eye at some point judging by the scar.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I just hope they pretend all the shit with the demon brothers or whatever from the ending of Naruto never happened...
I've never seen a series shit over its main message like that did.

They look like the Tenseigan- a powered up Byakugan which appeared in The Last : Naruto the Movie.
I think the older generation will start playing a more primary roll once the big bads come into it. Almost every villain fight in Shippuden starred an older cast member, be it Kakashi, Gai, the Kages, Bee, etc., as Kishi might have thought it unbelievable to have a kid take down a criminal organization by himself.
I reckon Kawaki didn't cause all that damage himself and has a group he works with, whether it's the moon people or someone new. It'd be cool to see the likes of the kids fighting with their parents against them. Give the likes of Shino, Tenten, Kiba, and Ino more screentime too, the ones who didn't get a proper chance to shine in the original. Shino himself is the academy teacher so it's off to a good start.
I know this is the new kids story, but having the older gen acting as their Kakashi and Gai would be ace.
First ep was alright, nothing special.
Is this going to be a long running series non stop series or is it going to have seasons/breaks like most Shonen Jump series these days. If it's the former this series is going to get pretty bad with all the filler like in previous Naruto series. Prefer what Shonen Jump is doing with their manga series getting animated, having them be done in seasons, less filler and better quality animation. Kuroko, My Hero Academia, Haikyu!! and Shokugeki no Soma being examples of that. World Trigger is the only recent Shonen Jump manga that had no seasons breaks for the anime.

Loved it but I adore Naruto. Can't imagine it being impactful if you haven't taken the ride, though I suppose it looks good. Really glad it didn't start with at tedious retelling of the film like the manga did (and these types of things always seem to).

I thought it was pretty enjoyable. The tease of adult naruto with one eye and all badass ninja like better make it into this show in a decent amount of time.
A bit shitty that it starts further back, makes me feel like we're gonna see a similar story again just to reach the point of new stuff. But hopefully they can do it in an enjoyable way or something.

Didn't know they were doing an original arc first. Filler from the get go. Even so, I enjoyed the episode.
That was Boruto.

Well, they do learn techniques from their clans and ya know looks too.....

I keep seeing this joke and I don't get it.
1. They never use the words kill, just imply it.
2. No body means no death.
I doubt Naruto is killed, it's obviously meant to hook us in.
enjoyable. the question is if they can keep the animation up. (lol).
Anyways naruto is more fun as kids.
I'm more curious about naruto's story though. Going from fun times shounen hero to... 'executive' behind a desk doing paperwork is... surprisingly realistic for a lot of careers irl lol.

My auto correct changed it lol
Remember it was made clear from the beginning when the show/manga started that age really has nothing to do with how powerful a person could be. We see how powerful Naruto and Sasuke ended up being in their early teens. How powerful Itachi was when he was even younger. Naruto could potentially be killed by a little kid if he or she had enough power, right ability and was capable enough and it would be in line with what the Naurto universe has shown us.
That said the first episode was pretty good. Good move going back to before the film and then working up toward it. The problem is do they redo the events of the movie or just air the movie and then move forward. That there is a new character (and if he gets popular. The fan art has already started.) suggest to me they might very well redo the events of film. I hope not.

First episode is amazing, it felt refreshing but distinctly Naruto. the animation is also amazing, I hope it keep the animation quality and not just episode 1 thing. I also love the parkour animation at the start of episode.
the glimpse of the future is interesting I guess, but man, how many years do we have to wait until we reach that part? I think it's way too early to tease older Boruto.

Good episode but I have a question
does naruto die?
Probably not.
Probably got banished or something cause he would 1 hit kill kawaki
iirc It's a tribute to Neji.
I remember reading about that. I think Neji's name was suppose to mean "screw" or something like that. While Boruto was suppose to mean or be used to describe a "bolt". So if it's a tribute for Neji it makes sense because he and Hinata ended up being very close and having a brother/sister relationship. Naruto and Neji ended up being good friends and his death almost pretty much broke him.
Rewatched the episode and I'm glad that new characters aren't all going to be children of the previous characters. There looks like there are going to be a few that aren't and I hope they're not just background characters.

Not even one minute into the episode and we've already got some crazy new eye power.
Come the fuck on...

Well to be fair, it's not new.

It's a Byakugan? I thought that, but then the few times he uses it, he doesn't have the veins that come with using it.

Will this show have endless fillers like Naruto? Because I don't know if I can go through that suffering.

I get wanting to have a bombastic start, but the whole train sequence was just... wat
Appears to be a Tensaigan, which first appeared in the Last movie. A superpowered Byakugan.
It will have to. There's only 11 chapters out now and it's monthly series.

Huh. Somewhat annoying they reveal a new power in something not everyone will have seen, but fair play.
Is the movie worth it?

Well shit, and here I thought they wouldn't be able to top the Sharingan in BS power level fuckery...
