This article contains spoilers from Boruto Part 1.

Summary

  • Boruto Part 2 confirmed by Studio Pierrot after a long hiatus.
  • No release date announced yet, likely won’t return until 2026.
  • Anime hiatus possibly due to filler episodes, available to watch on Crunchyroll.

Over time, Boruto has garnered significant fame, a development that was anticipated given its link to the highly recognized franchise, Naruto. While Boruto didn’t quite match the legacy of Naruto, it still resonates with many fans. Unfortunately, the show has taken a break, but recent announcements about its return have brought joy to many.

Boruto Anime Is Set To Return

Studio Pierrot Confirms Production Of Boruto Part 2

It’s common knowledge among fans of the Boruto series that the anime has taken a break for quite some time. The Boruto anime initially began airing in 2017, but it halted its broadcast in late May of 2023. For a while now, there’s been no news about the anime’s future, but that’s changed recently.

To the excitement of Boruto enthusiasts, it’s been officially announced on the Studio Pierrot website that Part 2 of the Boruto anime is indeed happening. This significant announcement ends a nearly 2-year wait for new episodes.

On the studio Pierrot Website, fans can now see the following message displayed on the Boruto page:

“A second part has been confirmed!”

Further information about the upcoming anime is on its way, but for now, let’s all practice patience.

When Will the Boruto Anime Return?

No Confirmed Date Yet, But It Will Likely Not Return This Year

Although the comeback of the anime has been officially announced, neither a specific release date nor a timeframe for its return has been provided to the enthusiastic viewers yet, leaving them in the dark regarding the series’ return after a two-year wait.

It seems uncertain if the Boruto anime has begun yet, but it appears quite probable that it hasn’t. Given current circumstances, it’s likely that we’ll have to wait a while for the anime to resume. Even though there might be an announcement this year (which hasn’t happened yet), it’s safe to say that we won’t be seeing the new episodes anytime soon. Fans should stay tuned for updates from Studio Pierrot, but at the earliest, they shouldn’t expect the anime back before 2026.

Why Did The Boruto Anime Go On a Hiatus?

It’s likely that several factors contributed to the temporary suspension of the Boruto anime. According to statements from animators, a significant contributing factor may be the high number of filler episodes, which made the project less engaging for them to work on.

While it’s nearly unavoidable that a weekly anime series might include some filler episodes, there’s certainly room for improvement. Some viewers are eagerly anticipating a shift from the weekly format to a seasonal one for Boruto, as this could alleviate the issue, but at present, no such change has been officially announced, leaving fans in a state of patience.

Where To Watch Boruto?

Available on Crunchyroll

Even though the Boruto anime has taken breaks, it currently boasts 293 episodes, many of which are filler episodes. Regardless, there’s plenty of content to explore as we wait for Part 2 to premiere. You can catch up with Boruto on Crunchyroll.

For those eagerly anticipating the anime’s comeback, you might want to explore the manga instead, as it’s already advanced significantly in the narrative following a significant time jump. You can find and read the manga on Manga Plus, where new chapters are released monthly.
