The latest Boruto episode deals with topics you might not expect, with fans surprised to see the show tackle such issues.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Strikers might be a weird online multiplayer battle arena game instead of a traditional fighter, but it does one thing those other Naruto games don't. It lets players make their own ninja. You can never have too many.

Coming next year to PS4, Xbox One and PC, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Strikers is a team-based online battler that files the many ninja of the Naruto-verse into four categories: Attack, ranged, defence and healer -- AKA rogue, wizard, warrior and cleric. Don't worry, all of them kick and punch.

The Naruto manga is finished. The Naruto anime is finished. He is sticking around in his son Boruto's spin-off series, but it sounds like creator Masashi Kishimoto wouldn't mind if a ubiquitous Naruto character was killed off.

Leaves are falling. The temperature is cooling down. It's perfect weather to snuggle up indoors and watch some anime.

Soon a new anime season will start. Excited? A thousand people in Japan were polled about which shows they were looking forward to most. Here are the results.

It's the end of an era. The final episode of the Naruto-starring TV anime will be aired on March 23, bringing to a close a highly successful series.

Don't be surprised if Naruto's son gets his own anime TV series. I won't be.

Given how much of a pain he was growing up, you'd expect the son of Uzamaki Naruto to be a handful. And Boruto, which is supposed to translate to Bolt (but doesn't quite), is certainly that.

But when you translate the formula to a live-action fan film, Boruto gets even more annoying. How is that even possible?

We've seen Naruto as a hero and leader; now, in Boruto: Naruto the Movie we get to see him as a father. As it turns out, he's pretty bad at it. That doesn't mean this is a bad movie, however.

Yes, the name "Boruto" is silly. But let that slide for a moment as you watch the first full trailer for the upcoming Boruto movie.
