Boruto Anime Halted Due to Excessive Filler Episodes

by

Summary

  • Kishimoto supervises new Naruto episodes, good news for fans.
  • Boruto anime hiatus due to excessive filler episodes.
  • Return of Boruto anime uncertain, Studio Pierrot evaluating strategies.

Regardless of the debate surrounding it, Boruto remains a widely-watched television show. Given its role as a follow-up to Naruto, the program has faced criticism for not meeting some viewers’ high expectations.

The “Boruto” animated series has offered some fantastic scenes featuring classic characters like Naruto and Sasuke, leaving many viewers pining for more. Fans are curious as to why the show took a break, and it seems that filler episodes might have played a part in its temporary absence from TV screens.

Why The Boruto Anime Was Put on Hiatus

One of the Reasons is the Large Amount of Filler Episodes

Regrettably for numerous Boruto series enthusiasts, the anime took an open-ended break starting from March 26, 2023, with the airing of episode 293. Since that date, there has been no clear indication as to when or even if the anime will resume.

As a die-hard fan, I must confess that Boruto has gained a reputation for its abundance of filler episodes. Quite intriguingly, it’s been disclosed that one primary factor leading to the anime’s sudden break was the overwhelming presence of these fillers. In fact, they outnumbered the canonical content in many instances!

It appears that Studio Pierrot, the team behind the Boruto anime, temporarily paused production while they explore fresh approaches, a move likely due to several animators, both internal and freelance, feeling uninspired or lacking enthusiasm towards creating so many filler episodes.

Additionally, it’s been mentioned that although the choice to create a large number of episodes doesn’t lie with Studio Pierrot themselves, they do hold the authority to refuse such production.

Earlier on the topic, an animator offered their thoughts regarding the high number of episodes produced for the anime. They suggested that Studio Pierrot might have declined producing so many episodes, which in turn could have impacted the overall quality of the show.

When will The Boruto Anime Return?

Currently, there’s no definitive information about when the Boruto anime will resume, however, it’s clear that a return isn’t imminent.

It appears there’s been no update about the status of the anime, suggesting it may be on hold. The studio might be holding off due to a lack of new manga material, which would allow them to reduce the number of ‘filler’ episodes. If the anime does return, it could potentially do so as a seasonal series, addressing both quality and filler issues.
