Boruto: Naruto the Movie - Naruto ga Hokage ni Natta Hi

I've watched Naruto since I was 9/10 and now I am 20 so Naruto holds a special place in my heart as I've grown up with the series. The Shinobi world filled with the different regions and unique characters each with their own story and special power was so captivating for me. Watching the small, troublesome and ostracized kid grow up to be a fine man who saves not only his bestfriend but also the world and becomes know worldwide as a hero is very fulfilling. With the announcement of Boruto series, an overwhelming surge of nostalgic thrill was in me! Naruto is finally ableto create a family he always dreamed of - he will no longer be lonely! This OVA introduces us to the family life of Naruto Uzumaki with his beloved wife Hinata Hyuga with his adorable daughter Himawari and mischievous son Boruto! Watching this was so nostalgic as Naruto is finally able to achieve his lifelong dream of becoming hokage! Of course not everything goes to plan with Naruto and he misses part of his special day! The short OVA story is simple but tells us so much more about the feelings and development of the characters for Naruto's special day! The sound was perfect with the light hearted signature Naruto OST and I fully enjoyed this!

Listen, I don't know why I'm reviewing ten minutes of footage, but my self-rule is to review everything, so here I go. This is nice. Not in a boring way, I mean it's a really warm and sweet little piece of work. If you don't want to watch Boruto, but you want an idea of what Naruto and his family are like, check this little movie out. I think it's really cool that something was animated to show Naruto becoming the Hokage, although, it would've been cooler if it were an OVA. How am I being picky about ten minutes? I know, I know, but thisis a review, yeah? No, but like... I'm just saying that, if it were an OVA, we could've seen Naruto be emotional about finally realizing his dream. We could've had that on top of the funnies that constitute these ten minutes. I liked what was there, but I would've loved to have some material on the more serious side of Naruto becoming Hokage. That being said, this little thing is really funny, and if you love Naruto, you gotta watch it.

Well, he did it. This is fine. I wish they had done it more straight-faced, considering how much this would mean to fans, but that might not make for an interesting story. Ultimately, the Naruto series is about how a spoiled brat born with every natural advantage could achieve his crazy dream of rejoining the aristocracy. Oh, and he matured a bit along the way. It's fine. Solid entertainment, and easy to slip back into if you watched it when you were a kid. I don't know anything about Boruto, so this is my first time seeing him. I wonder what they thought to do to differentiatehim from his father, considering he's also a spoiled brat. I suppose he doesn't have as much of a reason to be emo at times, considering he has the family life that his father always wanted. If he wants to become Hokage one day, I hope he never gets it. Becoming Hokage in this series, as I alluded to, is demonstrably a matter of privilege overriding all other considerations. The next Hokage should not be a descendent of two previous Hokage, ffs.
