I am sure you are a fan of the entire Naruto Shippuden series which is the reason why you are about to watch it’s spin-off, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. It originally aired as a standalone movie, but seeing how popular it was, the creators soon announced an anime series which follows the exploits of the next generation of shinobi in a ninja world more peaceful than it ever was. But, like both Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, Boruto anime also has a problem of filler episodes due to lack of original manga content. You know it too which is the reason why you are looking for the Boruto filler episodes list in order to avoid them!
Boruto Uzumaki is the son of Naruto Uzumaki and the protagonist of the new show, and although the shinobi world is now enjoying the peace after the war, there are new threats emerging that may very well destroy everything that the heroes have built. The show focuses on the newer generation of ninjas, the sons and daughters of the characters from the previous shows, and shows off their exploits and how they are different from the characters we grew up watching!
The Boruto: Naruto Next Generation anime series follows a different structure than other anime shows. Normally, when a manga gets extremely popular, an anime show is announced on it and the chapters are then animated and converted into episodes. The episodes not following the story of the manga are termed as “fillers” as they contribute nothing to the original, and the main, storyline.
However, that’s not the case with Boruto because the characters, and the new shinobi world, was first shown in a movie. Since the movie turned out to be quite popular, a spin-off series was ordered to take the show forward focusing on the new generation.
Apart from the anime, there’s a manga as well that releases new chapters on a monthly basis. However, the anime didn’t adapt the manga chapters in the beginning, which means that most of the earlier episodes of Boruto anime are technically filler episodes, but it’s better to term them as “anime-canon” episodes. The show begins from the very start of the newer generation, from the time when the characters aren’t even enrolled in the Academy. Essentially speaking, the story in the manga takes place a few years ahead of the story in the anime, so you can consider the anime to be a sort of prequel series. It does adapt chapters from side-stories, but there is still a lot of guiding you’ll need to keep watching the anime without losing track of the real storyline.
But it’s been a few years since the anime went on-air and it has given some really cool story arcs, and is now slowly getting to the story that the manga featured. So, it’s definitely worth watching if you are a fan of the series and want to get back to the world of shinobis!

Conclusion
I hope that this article, and the episodes guide, cleared up most of the doubts in your mind and gave you a clear idea as to which episodes are important to watch and which ones can be avoided.In my opinion though, this anime is unique and I would recommend you to watch all the episodes, no matter how childish some of them may seem. Go through the first few arcs, and if you don’t like them, stick to the canon episodes!
If you liked the article, and it helped you in watching the show, then share the Boruto filler episodes list with your friends as well so that they too can follow this episode guide and watch the show properly!
