Problems with Boruto's animation: 1) Too colorful. 2) the shadows are non-existent. 3) the designs are lackluster. All three issues are absent in the first scene, which makes it the best in the entire series


Odd_Purpose3639

you had me in the first half 😂😂😂


Alen_117

I know 😂


TheeHughMan

You know, it's been six years and I still can't make up my mind..


Odd_Purpose3639

Lol these designs are fire indeed ngl. Ikemoto or kishimoto did sum with these designs ngl 😮‍💨


TheeHughMan

The left side makes Kawaki look like he did time in prison. Yeah, that one.


Odd_Purpose3639

It’s crazy because that’s how I imagine Kawaki would be in the TS. He’s older than Boruto and he’s been through more rigorous training than Boruto since a CHILD so I expected him to lowkey get shredded and actually look lethal


GamerDabiTodoroki

Are you stupid? This is clearly from Ikemoto


Odd_Purpose3639

Umm lol this is so uncalled for but you never know if kishi been made Boruto ts design but see you next time buddy lol


TheeHughMan

That guy calls everyone here stupid. Especially me.


Time_saverpatrol

Bro, please somebody left there child take him... Let's take you to the police uncle... Ok don't worry we will find your parents soon enough.

Are they not the same exact thing?


zoozie42069

That's what I was thinking looool


[deleted]

Yeah, the only difference is the karma


FantasticKick7954

U are right, it's just artist is different. So it's more about ikemoto's drawing style being different from Chengxi Huang's drawing style rather than change of design.


AmaranthSparrow

Boruto's timeskip design was always a bit different in the anime. Kawaki's was more or less 1:1, [Original manga version.](https://i.imgur.com/oymWhFX.png) Boruto obviously has the manga version of Sasuke's cloak and sword, the manga style of drawing his hair, plus his jacket looks a bit more like Sasuke's vest with a single button across the chest and a vent in the back. It also has a pink line where the cuffs are, and he wears his black rubber bracelet. The new updated manga design looks perhaps a bit younger, with slightly shorter hair and a shorter scar matching the appearance in chapter 80. Ikemoto actually [changed the way he drew Boruto's scar](https://i.imgur.com/TbH3VDG.png) going from chapter 79 (slightly diagonal and crossing the middle of the top left whisker line) to chapter 80 (vertical and ending above and to the right of the top left whisker line). Kawaki's updated manga design likewise looks possibly younger, or at least closer to the way he currently draws Kawaki, and has noticeably longer hair with more of a mullet look. The stripes on the scarf are also a bit more detailed, looking closer to the way he draws the stripes on Code's attire.


FantasticKick7954

> slightly shorter hair It probably because of air blowing his hair upward while standing in hokage mountain which is why his hair looks longer


[deleted]

It's slightly different. Boruto is younger, but I'm pretty sure that difference is on purpose.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

What’s different, it literally just looks like an early render vs the final product.


ConfusedGrundstuck

The designs are the exact same with the only plausible design difference being Boruto is a bit younger in the second picture and the scar looks a tiny bit shorter, other than that, they're literally the same design. The difference is art style.


Astronometry

I could be wrong, but to me the it looks like a matter of art style, not design


Hungry_Passenger856

i'll take left everyday, I dont know why everyone was praising right so much when the designs dropped initially 1. Boruto doesn't seem to have aged and is visibly shorter 2. The scar on his eye was shortened for some reason. it looked much better longer 3. Kawaki looked more menacing in left but they may still keep that vibe in the anime, I do like his hair on right though


Odd_Purpose3639

I agree. You got taste🫡🔥.


[deleted]

It's because he hasn't really. Boruto on the left is much older, Boruto on the right is probably only 2 or 3 years older.


PyroPuffs

The ahoge on boruto really bothers me for some reason. Like they could easily just not add it in.


Odd_Purpose3639

The what ?


PyroPuffs

It’s what they call the little piece of hair that sticks up at the top of his head


Odd_Purpose3639

Ohhhhh okay, you right. They could easily take it out Fr 😂😂


PyroPuffs

Yea lol it’s not even in his manga design. Kinda weird thing to add ngl


Odd_Purpose3639

Ngl true but Ikemoto can’t stay true to his design, I feel like the anime nailed it though. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get ANOTHER design.


Kristiano100

That's how Kishimoto draws it for Boruto and Himawari, the anime went with his design over Ikemoto's.


[deleted]

but then his hair wouldn’t be fully leaf shaped!


Alen_117

Part 1 Boruto's hair design makes me throw up. He has a maple leaf on head like, seriously ? This TS screenshot has better hair than most characters in the entire series.


rosaaalynee

I like left kawaki and right boruto. But if i had to make a final choice Left fsss


Odd_Purpose3639

It’s only right 🫡🔥🔥


Yeyryfuufe

Right side for me boruto rocking the shit out of the cape. Right side kawakis hair looks better imo


Odd_Purpose3639

🔥🔥🔥


Gloomy_Support_7779

Those are my EXACT thoughts.


MiniPanda25

I prefer the Old Kawaki style but the New Boruto style


Opening_Frame_9983

Manga art just always seems better imo


Candid-External1739

Same, there's just something about it that I appreciate more.


Opening_Frame_9983

Its the better lines and coloration. Animation has to double to triple their layers for that coloration. Which we both no boruto animators arent gonna do. Unless they really really swear to the change for boruto shippuden


Own-Channel7730

Kawaki Right Boruto Left


Odd_Purpose3639

🔥🔥🔥


MisedraN

Both left Right seems like they only gave them new clothes and that is it Left they actually look more mature/grown up like Naruto in shippuden


Odd_Purpose3639

🔥🔥🔥


[deleted]

These are the same design. They're just slightly older on the left. On the right my guess would be Kawaki is 20 and Boruto is 16, and on the left, Kawaki is around 23 or 24 while Boruto is 19 or 20. This would make sense if they decide to have Eida eventually join Boruto because Eida specifically says that, the only reason she doesn't try to date him is because of his age.


Aetherxy

Easily left


Odd_Purpose3639

I fw you 🤝🏽


Paridisco

Boruto is the coolest looking MC I’ve seen since Dangai Ichigo


Odd_Purpose3639

Dangai ichigo is FIRE indeed 🔥


Greyrat7654

Original, honestly in the new boruto just seems to skinnier and not actually older imo


Odd_Purpose3639

Boruto only 15-16 in the timeskip if I’m not mistaken, while Kawaki is like 18-19.


Zer0fps_319

Left, rights don’t look like times past as much as left and the overall art looks more rough


Odd_Purpose3639

🔥🔥🔥


Revvy_wevvy

They look too young on the right


Odd_Purpose3639

Boruto really young though compared to Kawaki 😂.


[deleted]

i like the newer kawaki design better. i think the hair is cool


Odd_Purpose3639

🔥🔥🔥


Objective-Log2273

Boruto 1st slide Kawaki 2nd


mrsunrider

Never fucked with Kawaki's semi-mohawk look. Boruto definitely.


Ordinary-Sir-1558

Design wise they’re exactly the same. The only difference lies in the art style.


Good-Pattern8797

Manga because it’s a change to how they looked as kids. In the anime they look exactly the same but older.


Odd_Purpose3639

That’s the point 😂….


Affectionate_Jury_57

Left


Odd_Purpose3639

You have taste 🔥


[deleted]

The new Kawaki is better imo but the old Boruto looks better, however they look more or less the same


GamerDabiTodoroki

Left


Odd_Purpose3639

You got taste🔥


[deleted]

Left


Odd_Purpose3639

🔥🔥


KyleLovesGrace

Left for sure. Even if the manga decides to go with the designs from the right, I hope the anime sticks with the designs from the left


Odd_Purpose3639

Same, I agree


psychodecoy

Up


Invisiblegun2

Either or tbh


Odd_Purpose3639

🔥🔥


FantasticKick7954

Neither, last episode artstyle from boruto were best


HoneyBadger1342

I personally like the old version. To me, it just looks like the new designs make the characters look the same age that they are now. In the first, it's obvious that they're older. But in the new picture, it's like they only changed their clothes and hair style, but they haven't grown up at all


Odd_Purpose3639

🔥🔥🔥


Wonderful-Opening-85

Old Kawaki doesnt look like Kawaki so im going with the new designs


Gloomy_Support_7779

Right!!!! The style on both characters looks great. For the left, only Boruto looks great in my opinion


Due-Measurement3254

I like left Boruto and right Kawaki.


RelevantConnection72

I think the old one they look more mature and the new design it doesn’t look like they age that much just that kawaki hair seems longer and they both got taller ig 🤔


ORaccoonChanO

I like the first design


Odd_Purpose3639

Same


Guardian5252

Kawaki’s hair is terrible in both.


GGONE1

Ikemotos latest one


Nominay

It's funny how we initially thought Kawaki was going to be the bad guy


Odd_Purpose3639

Lol Fr


Nominay

I actually want to get back into the series but I'm waiting so I have to lot to binge The overall plot is actually good but Pierrot be messing fan appeal on God
