That theory does seem like at a least a possibility. The third blu-ray set that includes up to ep 39 has a release date of just this week and we're already at ep 50 here on Toonami. And so far there's been 3 months between each set, so then the ep 40-51 set should be in January. So even if they've obviously probably still dubbed somewhat ahead of this I could see us having caught up a bit depending on how much further ahead they are. That would make more sense for why this one despite it being newer. Edited October 5, 2019 by DangerMouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I think they're farther ahead and we just don't really have any idea how far ahead they are. I just meant it's possible that they could have slowed down a bit from the speed they were going at to get however far they've gotten so far (which only Viz knows) I don't think Viz has ever simuldubbed yet though so it makes sense that they're atleast somewhat behind the Japanese broadcast. But there's still a lot of eps between ep 50 and whatever they've dubbed up to so far. Edited October 5, 2019 by DangerMouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it were doing so well for Toonami, they wouldn't cut it loose like they did. 2.

Viz isn't really that stuck in the past, are they? What episodes are they up to? Of course not. They're clearly getting faster, Boruto (with Studiopolis) is their fastest turnaround yet I think. But they also aren't quite doing simuldubs yet, probably since they don't dub in-house, since they didn't really start releasing dubbed Boruto until the Japanese airing got quite a bit ahead, unlike the 2-3 weeks of a Funi simuldub, so I was just theorizing that maybe actor schedules for recording the show weren't originally scheduled like a simuldub with no breaks in production between 12 or 24 ep chunks of show (since Boruto doesn't have traditional season breaks it's just kind of endless). It was just hypothetical since CountFrylock mentioned some people were theorizing that there might have been some slowdown in production, so I was trying to think of how that might happen. But maybe they actually haven't slowed down at all, it was just theorizing. Either way, depending upon how many eps ahead they'd already dubbed beyond last week's Toonami ep they've likely been working quite fast on this (it seems considerably faster than usual for a Viz dub) and if it had kept airing and the buffer was big enough we wouldn't have even known about any short production schedule breaks even if there were any lol. It looks like episode 127 airs in Japan today/tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorbeauKarasu Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 i kinda hope they bring boruto back when the great ninja war arc ends in shippuden. it always felt weird to me that they were airing the sequel series while its predecessor was still having premieres.

rpgamer Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Wait. People are actually defending Boruto? Show's been bottom of the barrel since day one. The Naruto connection isn't nearly enough to bring this up to something worth having on this late night block. Naruto barely fits as it is, but at least it can hold interest when it's not just goofing off. I'd be a lot less upset to consider Naruto the worst thing on the block. Boruto can come back when it hits its own Shippuden. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Naruto got cut from the block pretty quick once Shippuden came on the scene. Original is plenty awful. Being a little better than that is still kinda awful. It's felt the same level of "kids'show" as the original, which never felt like it belonged on the block. Shippuden doesn't totally stand out, at least for me. Idk, man. It's tolerable. If it were anywhere but Toonami, I might've not minded. But it's felt out of place ever since it started. C'mon.

Blatch Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 It's never really felt like Boruto earned its place on the block. It came at a time when Toonami was more concerned with future-proofing, wanted any long-running shonen they could get, and then Viz gave this one to them probably for a good price. I also remember hearing there was no reaction whatsoever at the live Pre-Flight panel they announced it at, which is hilariously damning. They could bring it back once they can't air JoJo's anymore, or if Food Wars! is starting to run out of episodes, but with the middling ratings it's gotten and the full-throated apathy Toonami fandom has given to it, it will probably be dead weight no matter the circumstance. And is that a shame? If you like Naruto, maybe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Boruto has a thing where he is tsundere for his dad, and the idea seems to be start off Boruto as kind of a little shit and then improve him as a person as the show goes along. It is better in a lot of ways. The writing is better, too. And the girls aren't so incompetent in this show. But at the end of the day, it still has the Naruto baggage, which holds it back to some extent. I would say the whole thing about it being a spoiler for Shippuden, which it is, but the same thing happened with Dragon Ball and DBZ back in the day, and we didn't seem to mind. Dragon Ball is just so much better than Naruto in general, though. But with Boruto, I don't really care about the spoilers because how far the Shippuden story has declined in quality. Either way, I could take or leave the show on the block. On 10/6/2019 at 2:32 PM, Top Gun said: I just think it's a shame because I don't want to be assed to watch it on my own time.
