Curious to know if the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime is delayed? Will new episodes come out in 2024? The latest installment of the Boruto anime finished airing in March 2023. This might have left fans wondering when the new episodes will come out. Here is a guide on the Boruto anime and if it’s delayed.
Is the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime delayed?
There is no official confirmation from Studio Pierrot regarding a delay in the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime.
However, there has been a rumor going around online that there will be a delay in the Boruto anime. X (formerly Twitter) user Worlf, an anime leaker, posted a tweet saying that the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime is delayed and is estimated to come back in 2027 or 2028.
On February 13, the official X account of Studio Pierrot posted an interview with Keiro Itsumi, the studio’s managing director. Itsumi talked about how they want to make more high-quality content that can “compete on a global scale.” Itsumi also mentioned that “anime is made by people, not computers.” He talked about the steps he took to improve working conditions at the company, including reviewing the salaries.
It’s likely that Pierrot is focusing on their other projects right now, especially with the third part of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War coming out this year, which can lead to a delay. But as mentioned above, this has not been officially confirmed.
Will new Boruto episodes be coming out in 2024?
As of writing, there is no announcement from Studio Pierrot about new Boruto episodes coming out in 2024.
It might take a while before the anime comes back. The latest episodes of the Boruto anime ended with the Code Assault arc adaptation. Since then, the manga has released two arcs (15 chapters) so far.
For now, there are not enough manga chapters available yet for the anime to continue.
