Boruto: Naruto the movie and The day Naruto become Hokage
Boruto is the son of the 7th Hokage Naruto who completely rejects his father. Behind this, he has feelings of wanting to surpass Naruto, who is respected as a hero. He ends up meeting his father's friend Sasuke, and requests to become... his apprentice!? The curtain on the story of the new generation written by Masashi Kishimoto rises!
Stop now all fan fiction story writing about Naruto. It's decided who's gonna marry who!
And the ones who guessed Naruto and Hinata will be a couple were right. Also those who counted for Sasuke and Sakura (though I freaking don't still understand why Sakura and Sasuke ended as a couple. It just doesn't fit) get what they were hoping for. So let's look to a next generation.
Here is Boruto. Yeah...why that copycat name from Naruto? Well anyways. First time I saw news about Naruto series to have Boruto next generation series was almost month ago in Japan when I visited one manga shop. And first thought in my head was that "I hope this isn't just another way to copycat Naruto series best parts and use it over and over exhaustion". I haven't got a change to read Boruto manga yet but now I have watched those two movies and have created start for my opinion.
For first let's look to new main characters. Though Boruto has a copycat name he still owns different personality than Naruto and actually different what we haven't seen yet in Naruto series. I have to say that it feel refreshing! I need to admit that lately in Naruto I have been fed up about how it just repeats same pattern over and over. But maybe this is something good to follow again.
This one is Boruto's sister, Himawari. Looks very like Hinata but with whisker lines and blue eyes. I would like to say more about here but we don't know about her much yet so let's wait.
Like you may guess Sarada is Sasuke's and Sakura's child. Her design I like the most because she looks more child of her parents than just plain copycat child. If you look closely she has only one main copycat element with her parents' which is similar clothes to yearly Sakura but that's all. When other hand Boruto and Himawari has almost none differences to their parents.
That 3rd person in Boruto's team is quite mysterious. I'm interested to hear mre about him too.
The story in the day Naruto becames hokage is very short. It's just 10 minutes little joke how Boruto brokes Himawari's doll and her powers wakes up. Himawari is really mad to Boruto and tries to hit him but accidentally hits first Naruto. And that's actually the main thing in this story. It was hilarious little joke to watch.
After you have watched this short animation. Move to Boruto movie. That way a time line keeps cohesive. Boruto movie was more peek to this new generation than anything else. And that's fine to do with new generation. Let's wait for other movies to come. I'm sure there will be more.
But overall Boruto's generation seems better than I expected. So at least Naruto fans will like this even ones that aren't hardcore naruto fans. Nice animation style that is very Naruto styled with action backed story.

Rakudai kishi no cavalry anime
Story revolves around Magic Knights, modern magic-users who fight with weapons converted from their souls. Ikki Kurogane goes to a school for these Magic Knights, but he is the "Failed Knight" or "Worst One" who is failing because he has no magical skills. However, one day, he is challenged to a duel by Stella, a foreign princess and the "Number One" student. In this duel, "the loser must be obedient for life."
I know what you are thinking. This sounds very much like Mahouka kouku no rettousei, right? I thought that too at the first but this was actually different story. When Mahouka koukou no rettusei did better about explaining the modern magic Rakudai kishi no cavalry is more better overall with characters and story line. With good story line I mean better story line so don't except anything original and fresh but at least it stays better in it's lines.
I'm not trying to mock this anime. It has good and bad times indeed but nothing very new. Thou if you want to watch something about modern magic I recomended this than Mahouka kukou no rettousei.
If we look more this anime's charas we can see some actually nice charas but also one quite fresh one. I'm sure you didn't think about it much but Shizuku's room mate Nagi is actually fresh wind. I mean he is identifying himself as an woman but doesn't use overly girly costumes and act as an weirdo like this kind of characters usually are shown. Which by the way is very bad stigma (yes I know there is difference between liking to wear other sex's clothes and identifying as an one).
When you create character like that do it like this:
So this is why I like to see something else than weirdos and-
????: Waaaaait!
Hm?
James: Why the hell I'm in the list?! I don't identify myself as an woman or anything!
You don't? 0_0 uhm... then what are all of these?
Ash: James looks actually cute. I want to ask him to date me.... I like him wearing girly clothes so that why I always pretend that I don't know it's Rocket team in front of me.
Rocket team: Whaaaatttt?! You always knew!? And- And! Aren't you supposed to like Misty rather than James?!
Misty and Ash: ......................................sigh.....................................
Ash: What? Did you say POKEMONS? YES, I love frigging much pokemons! I meant pokemon yeah sure! Not James. Yeah I agree pokemons are the best evah!
Yeah..... what ever. Meanwhile in Rakudai kishi no cavalry they actually have romance in it's story but also that damn sibling complex. Seriously? NOT AGAIN! Luckily this time it stays in backstory than in you-know-what-anime. But this time you can see some random little peaks of fandom echi shots that seems to be must in very anime now a days even if it doesn't fit story....
Yeah? I would ask you the same question? Why the hell these erotic jokes are stuffed everywhere even when they don't fit overall story?
Brock: How could you say that?!
Brock: Random sexy stuff is must in everywhere!
Not everywhere! It's okay in genres where you are excepting that eg. harem, ecchi, hentai and so on but you don't need to but it everywhere! (And go away all of you Pokemon characters I'm planning to write your stuff just you wait so don't stick your nose to other animes' articles! ).
But maybe one of the best thing in this average anime was very beautiful animation style! It was well made. Nicely colored and flow and moving characters was pleasant to watch. Good work! Keep it going! So that is my review. All of you who like to see something little bit better executed than you-know-what anime you can peek this one or just watch it because of some touching scenes and animation style. But if you really are looking for very original or exceptional this is not for you.
