Feels like they'd have to be arbitrarily powered down so that Boruto could have threats that wouldn't just immediately be taken care of by Naruto or Sasuke.
Sort of like how Saitama in One-Punch Man has to be a dumbass who gets lost for hours on end so that other fights can happen.
I get the basic setup of high schooler who dreams of ballet but worries about it not being masculine or whatever, but it also feels like it's going too far in that direction. Like I only did it cause of this girl bro.
Not sure I have the patience for the show if it takes it as long as it feels like it'll take it to get past that stuff. If it ever does.
Can't speak to the anime, by the manga has done a good job of various threats and why they don't just get annihilated by Naruto and Sasuke

Naruto had a pretty big nerf recently.
Big manga/anime spoilers
Boruto (the manga at least) has been rather clever about threat escalation. Basically, it was established in Naruto's finale that the big end boss wasn't a one off, but basically a kind of space alien, a la Dragonball, so others of that type have arrived to cause trouble AND ninja technology has dramatically escalated to the point where mostly untrained children can do moves that took skilled ninjas years of training to do, easily. This has created a setting to where the adults aren't an instant win button and the kids aren't completely useless.
Apparently it's a cover of some Hungarian song that went viral in Japan?
It's really interesting to look at this story as a partner piece with Look Back.
Like Look Back is telling its own story but its also widely read as a piece of public mourning over the KyoAni arson, the loss of so many talented young artists and all the works they may have created in their futures. And any time a mangaka is writing a story about someone who writes manga there's always the question there of like how much of their own life and experiences they're pulling from to inspire their character. So like a big part of the emotional impact of Look Back wasn't just the text itself but the real life tragedy that we think informs it, and that's what really dominated the public conversation around the comic when it was released.
So now we've got Goodbye Eri, which is
Which is an interesting question to be asking when his last word very much was about feeling grief over a real event through a story about a fictional one. And it suggests a lot more questions that Goodbye Eri plays with - How true can fiction (or even just an edited version of reality) actually be? How much truth does the fiction writer owe to true events, and is it ethical to be pulling pathos from an audience that knows - or thinks they know - that it's based on real events and real grief. Can the creator's emotions be expressed honestly when his story is purposefully misleading viewers about what happened? How much of our grief depends on knowing the answers to "what really happened" with all the riddles that Fujimoto suggests in his story?
It's a great show, so far!

Main's ambition was inevitably going to drive her to create the printing press, but I'm surprised she's getting started on it this soon. Figured she'd focus more on getting the concept of mass-produced books made through hand-copying embedded in the culture first. Well, it couldn't hurt to get started on the technology early.
Have you heard the good word about ESTAB Life yet? It's got something for everyone!! Gun girls, slimegirls, communist penguins, magical girls, wolfmen, robots with deep voices...

good god you can't just say this to people
Yeah! I'm pretty sure when your prayer reached the Almighty They went "... Why have you forsaken Me?"
Probably because she was asked to talk about anime!
(OK ok, I'll stop.)
The best example from personal experience is chess. People think you have to be smart to play chess, or be good at chess. But you know what chess mainly is, what it actually is all the way up to the highest levels of play? It's mainly just pattern recognition. That is like, genuinely, 99% of what determines the outcome.
I don't know... I watched this chess anime on Netflix two years ago and it seems like the key to being good at the game is DRUGS
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Which one
I mean they're all running Pot of Greed anyway.
Also it's got to be an in-universe meme for whoever uses Pot of Greed to explain what it does. Everyone knows it, but you play the card you have to say the line or you get cancelled on Kaiba-Twitter. But that's not too bad because 90% of the world population is cancelled on Kaiba-Twitter since Kaiba hates everyone anyway and the rest don't use the app.
This is part of why Arc-V actually genuinely kinda sucks. Because it's super reliant on having the Action Cards that are scattered all over the field, so duels are less about people doing conceivably cool things based on the actaul game, and more about litertal Plot Bullshit.
Which is saying something when the very next series has the protagonists special power being "Create the exact card i need!", and it's less infurating than Arc V's crap.
Also the most recent Yu-Gi-Oh series finished, and it ended with our heros fighting the villian in space.
IN a giant robot, powered by a curry-powered robot. The villain meanwhile had built his own giant robot that was... a duplicate of himself. it was deeply dumb, and curved right back around to awesome.
