Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Studio Hints at Boruto's Seasonal Future

Anime series Boruto could seemingly fix one of its longest-standing problems thanks to studio Pierrot taking inspiration from Bleach and Demon Slayer.

Many fans of the Naruto anime franchise have long been vocal about one specific issue that has plagued Boruto: Next Generations since its inception: the excessive number of filler episodes. This is a direct result of being a year-round anime, but the new studio in charge of Boruto, Pierrot, may be bringing about the change the show needs to survive and even thrive.

Per a recent interview with Comic Natalie via Screen Rant, Studio Pierrot may be changing the release format for Boruto: Next Generations once it returns from its hiatus. Despite the extreme number of filler episodes it has churned out thus far, the Naruto sequel is beloved by many, who have been anxiously awaiting its return since the release of the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga.
