SHOWNOTES: We've got even more anime movie content for you on Collateral Cinema! Following our previous episode on Vampire Hunter D, Ash and Beau are discussing Boruto: Naruto the Movie. Released in 2015, the following year of The Last: Naruto the Movie (which we covered last season), this film serves as an epilogue to the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden anime series, following Seventh Hokage Naruto Uzumaki's son Boruto in the Chunin Exams—a story that would later be readapted into the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga and anime. Is it as bad as reception to the anime series would suggest? Catch our opinions now, and stay tuned for our two-part episode on the Lord of the Rings trilogy in February!
