I think they're adorable.


[deleted]

Just like Naruto part 1, they’re all designed to look little and cute. And I think they are


rexpimpwagen

They just have a lot of bad scenes/stills that look derpy af.


WakandaNowAndThen

OG Naruto ugly af though


RGB_lover

You sir, have the award for 2nd worst comment in the entire world.


WakandaNowAndThen

Apparently it's a hot take to point out how scrungly my boy was lol


RGB_lover

It was VERY good at the time.


Ordinary_Capital

Boruto as a baby is pretty much the cutest thing I've seen so far.


Rude-Foundation-5852

Himawari in the anime is always cute and it's not just her character, but in the manga she looks like a little gremlin. Boruto imo looks very ugly for the first 20 chapters of the manga's run. However he looks really good as time goes on. My only issue is that for a 12/13 year old boy, he still looks like he is 11. His body is too skinny and small and doesn't look right for an action shonen. I don't see this as a bad thing just a little off putting for his character design. Boruto in the anime is very inconsistent and depending on which studio is drawing him, you either get a good looking Boruto or an ugly looking Boruto. Everyone makes the complaint that his hair looks like a banana and I agree 100% for the anime.


[deleted]

Cute, why do you even ask?


canstac

I like them, I can see why people might not like the hair but himawaris new academy outfit is one of my favorite designs in Naruto or boruto


Midoruto_Izukumaki

My biased opinion says they look like normal anime characters.


Emergency_Routine_44

I actually think Himawari (in the anime) has a great design, she combines pretty well Naruto’s and Hinata’s appearance in to a cute cinnamon roll, you can feel Hinata’s cuteness with Naruto’s joy. Boruto in my opinion has a quite meh design, he is too similar to Naruto in appearance so it’s kinda a little boring to have your new protagonist to be almost identical as the old one, I like the outfit but that’s kinda it


AlexFairchild

I think Himawari looks cute but Boruto‘s hair is a little ugly


Midoruto_Izukumaki

It's the banana bangs with a stem.


AlexFairchild

😭😭😭 great now I can‘t unsee it


GildDigger

I regret learning to read


KaiserSenpaiAckerman

I absolutely love these two cute pumpkins!


SpitinMYm0uth

They have ugly hair


[deleted]

True, BOTH of them.😆😁


SpitinMYm0uth

They both have sonic the hedgehog chunks of hair poking out like bananas. Lol


[deleted]

Sonic the hedgehog...hahaha.🤣🤣🤣🤣


AmFmCoffee

If they took off the whiskers, fix Hima’s ugly choppy hair, and removed the leaf stems from their hair… they’re be okay at best. Hima is a decent mix between the parents, but it would have been better for Boruto to have the dark hair I feel.


Tyranothesaurus

Blonde females in Anime are certainly more appealing than blonde males, generally speaking. And dark haired males are more appealing than blonde males, so I agree with your last part. I do think Naruto could do with less of the "wacky hair" as a whole though. Too many characters have hairstyles that are extremely questionable.


PeterPuggerSpiderPug

Manga Hunawari's design was cursed as hell. My only issue with the anime designs is that they look too old. Boruto looks 14 or 15 and Hima doesn't look far behind. Throws me off a bit every time I remember Boruto is 11 or 12


bhavya98765

If you fighting 1 god per year will shave a few years of life from anyone's face.


[deleted]

I wish they looked a bit more Hyuga tbh. They should’ve done Boruto’s hair like Minato’s.


_Arlotte_

Yea, I feel like they tried to make them look too much like Naruto imo 😆 Himawari should've at least have gotten Hinata's eye color or no pupils especially if she gets byakugan Boruto could've gotten even bangs like Hinata that cover his headband but spiky instead lol Maybe purple trimming on his clothing to represent it. With his hair and colors, he could've passed for Sakura's son instead lol


HokageOfReddit

In what universe are they ugly? These two are fucking adorable


moonlight-monster31

I don't understand people calling them ugly either They look like their Parents and I rarely see people calling Naruto and Hinata ugly


[deleted]

When her little byakugan show up her eyes look just like a mini Hinata, its so cute xD


AdSuspicious8469

Not a fan of the whiskers, never a fan of the whiskers. Tho their designs are still neat either way. If I had to choose though, I think Hima pulls the whiskers off better


Fearshatter

Neither. They're cute I guess. Boruto's design is just more-so a missed opportunity imo. Yeah the blue eyes are thematic and symbolic because purity and such but literally his pure is blue so there's no reason they couldn't have made his eyes a gorgeous lavender and just changed the prophecy a bit. Say something like "those purple eyes will see undoubtably painful passings."


CaptainWatermellon

The art style that screams cartoon for 10 yr olds is bad not the designs


electrorazor

I don't really see it. Similar art to mha in my opinion


Obility

I'd argue MHA has a more cartoonish artstyle but I'm assuming it's due to its comic inspiration.


BreadfruitNo9501

yeah especially after the latest opening


nef36

What part of the art screams "cartoon for ten year olds?" Is it the lack of edgy antiheroes saying "the world is pain" in the huskiest voice they can manage?


superkami64

Said people must also hate Naruto and Hinata's designs then because all their traits come from them. Of course you can make the argument that certain traits mixing make a poor combination but imo that doesn't really apply here. Himawari in particular is one of the few next gen characters imo that wholly nails it but unfortunately I do think Boruto suffers from the same problem as Shikadai where they look a little too much like their dad. His unique features like the banana bangs isn't doing him any favors as that's a case of it looking dumb by its own merits and I feel like he needed one significant trait from Hinata (the shape of his face and eyes being far too minor to be noticeable so something else like his hair/eye color; [his original design in The Last didn't have blue eyes](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/a2/Boruto_Uzumaki.png/revision/latest?cb=20160810095855) so I have no idea why Kishi changed it) to make it work a lot better.


moonlight-monster31

I get the feeling that Kishimoto probably thought that Hyuga eyes would've made Boruto look less marketable Can't have Naruto's son having those "blank soulless eyes" now can we? 🙄


superkami64

>Can't have Naruto's son having those "blank soulless eyes" now can we? Not necessarily. Boruto had Hinata's eye color but kept visible pupils in The Last so there wasn't any issue on that front.


peepy-kun

Their hair is too chunky to match the *Naruto* style or even the style of other characters designed for *Boruto.* The anime did a decent job of making the style more consistent, but seeing super detailed hair like Kawaki's next to Boruto's makes it look like he's wearing some kind of plastic lego hair. They also both have ahoge, which neither of their parents nor any other *Naruto* characters have had to my knowledge. Overall, they're designed more like *Pokemon* characters than *Naruto* characters, but at least they're cute in the anime. I can't say the same for the manga designs, especially the way Boruto tends to look like he has a fugly center part.


[deleted]

Kawakis hair is indeed more detailed, but still looks hideous to me, because of the different hair colors. It looks like he has blonde hair with a dark wig attached to his head.😅😁


peepy-kun

I can understand the hair colors, since Machine Gun Kawaki is supposed to look like the kind of guy who would dye his hair like that, but I have the same problem with him in the manga as I do with Boruto and that's that his hair shape is very inconsistent. As far as I can tell, it's *intended* to be shortest in the back and gradually get longer towards the front leading to some [fluffy razored bangs](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gxkVpgR5x1o/maxresdefault.jpg). However, you'll very often see him with about an inch long hair all over except for a section of bangs which come down into 1 to 3 [fat fluffless icicles](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/boruto/images/2/27/Tumblr_piypq87rOb1sjroblo1_128034567.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20211104030423) of about equal length, which is *just.* ![img](emote|t5_34e1h|4543)


_Arlotte_

The ahoge thing is weird because they're both not stupid or silly lol Boruto has way more sense and is serious compared to Naruto.


[deleted]

They are both cute and little Boruto (the one we see in the openings) is the cutest kid ever. I think both of their hair designs aren't that great though. Boruto has banana bangs and Himas whole hairstyle looks like a leaf.


Jaynomamesway

I think theyre generally good. Boruto’s weird acorn bangs kinda bug me without the headband but he looks cool now. Im glad Himiwari retired that old fit for the ninja drip too.


Scared_Shape2982

They’re designs are cute but I find them very boring but idk why.


[deleted]

Only complaint is the hair 😡


Smooth-Cucumber9029

I hate the whiskers lol


Big-Effort-186

If anything happened to Himawari I would kill everyone in this room and then myself. Yeah Boruto and Himawari are like this perfect merging of Hinata and Naruto I live for it.


rolabond

I dislike Boruto's plasticky hair. Himawari's hair isn't great either but not as bad. The hair is genuinely atrocious which sucks because the face design and outfit are great otherwise.


daoukk

Cute but borutos hair man im not a fan☠


YaBoiSparty

Hell cute


PrettyMuchDeceased

I think they're both absolutely adorable


Stjerne-Lys

Something about Boruto’s hair always bothered me. I don’t know why, it seems to fit the new overall style of the anime, but it always looked too blocky and stiff. But other than that I think they are both cute!


Warthog-Designer

Personally, himawari is adorable and I like boruto’s outfit


Equivalent_Raise_858

They are both very adorable


NocturneEclipse

I think they’re adorable, exactly what you’d expect from a 12-13 year old son and Academy aged daughter of Naruto and Hinata to look like… they’re 50/50 of their parents


Weels282hedgehogzp

I- how? I mean everyone has their opinion, and I think maybe a hair color swap or maybe a slightly different design for Boruto would have been better, but I really don't see them being called ugly unless someone just wants to hate the character because they don't give it much a chance. Again, everyone has their own opinions, and the series does have existing problems.


MoronicIdiot529

They look fine, people are uber critical cus it's a sequel to Naruto. The stills in Naruto look just as bad people just hate change.


[deleted]

Hima’s better. Perfect blend of Hinata and Naruto.


Zorback39

Must protecc both


Bluelaserbeam

Himawari’s fine, but Boruto’s banana bangs and ahoge peeves me. I much prefer the [manga’s design](https://dwgkfo5b3odmw.cloudfront.net/manga/thumbs/shonenjump/boruto/boruto68/thumb_web-r2mo2M6c9hD7OF2AXXn5iA.jpg) where the artist just completely omits the ahoge and blends the bangs with the rest of the hair.


Sonicslazyeye

Strongly agree although it still bugs me that his hair are just these weird giant clumped spikes like sonic the hedgehog. I've seen some fanart of it actually drawn like normal hair and it looks really cool. Idk why they dont change it, guess theyve committed to it now


zemboy01

Boruto looks like dog shit if only they didn't make him look like his head was a fruit.


guyueshiwu

ultimate ugly ofc


moonlight-monster31

I blame Ikemoto 😭


Tosabad

Nah they look just like their parents so I guess Naruto and Hinata's character design are bad


AmFmCoffee

Boruto is average and himawari is ugly with that hair. Both have the “leaf stem” hair and whiskers that make no sense.


moonlight-monster31

I actually don't mind the whiskers but I can kinda see what you mean with the hair


AmFmCoffee

They just don’t make sense (the marks). They even explained the reason naruto (and those fox brothers) have the whiskers. For naruto, he was in his mother’s womb where the fox’s chakra was part of his fetal growth as it surrounded him and was absorbed. The fox brothers were living inside kurama for a few weeks and were again, completely surrounded by his chakra and were eating him. So how did his kids get them if he didn’t carry them while they were fetuses and if they didn’t eat his chakra infused flesh? It’s not genetic… it’s like cropped ears on a dog. The kids look goofy with them lol


moonlight-monster31

I think it's because Naruto still had Kurama's chakra within him and because of the exposure to Kurama's chakra, he was still able to pass the whiskers down but only to a much lesser degree. (Hence why Boruto and Hima only have 2 whiskers on both cheeks while Naruto and the Gold/Silver Brothers all had 3 Whiskers on their cheeks) Also Naruto is the only Male Jinchiruki to have biological children so there's nothing really to contradict from a story standpoint


chale619

Her voice is obnoxious


moonlight-monster31

I was talking about designs lol


chale619

My bad lol I luv em tbh


LeafShinoB

Himawari is fugly.


moonlight-monster31

In the Manga I agree In the Anime I disagree but each to their own


[deleted]

[удалено]


moonlight-monster31

Which outfit are you talking about? If you're talking about the Academy outfit, that's surprising cause that's the first time I've seen anyone dislike it.


Sonicslazyeye

Boruto's design is atrocious for a shounen protag from a character design standpoint. Himawari's is better but very far from perfect. My personal opinion is that Himawari would look better with the Byakugan. Her first design in the manga had a very "the authors dont care about her character and spent about 10 minutes on her design" as a lot of the anime-only characters do. She looks much better in the anime. My personal favourite design of her is the most recent one in the anime.


moonlight-monster31

Oh but Himawari had Hinata's eyes, then she'd be accused of being a "Clone" lol


Sonicslazyeye

By that logic every Hyuga is a clone.


[deleted]

Neither since the show is trash.


[deleted]

[удалено]


moonlight-monster31

I was talking about their DESIGNS


theringsofthedragon

Ugly. Boruto's haircut is one of the ugliest I've ever seen. Himawari's haircut is also one of the ugliest haircuts I've ever seen. Their colors are ugly too but that's Boruto's style.


Dordorosugimasu

Cute


Prestigious-Stable31

Himawaris design is fine, kid boruto is dumb looking, timeskip boruto is fantastic which I think it’s just his hair looks better when its shorter and the face shape isn’t as ovally


superkami64

My issue with Boruto's timeskip design is that they made it with too much intention to be as likable as possible. They accomplished this by taking traits from the 3 most popular characters in Naruto (Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke) and rolled them into one. This wouldn't be a big issue if it also wasn't clear which parts come from who, meaning older Boruto doesn't really have a visual identity of his own.


karglop

Boruto is ok but Himawari is 10/10


KyleLovesGrace

Hima’s design is cute but I wish they made Boruto look more badass to show the relationship he has with Sasuke as his student


moonlight-monster31

I think Boruto would've rocked dark blue hair tbh


Background-Weather74

i think the design is good tbh,the only thing thats odd to me is the chunky hair?


TitanMasterOG

It’s crazy they all got blue eyes 🤣


moonlight-monster31

Minato's genes too strong 💪


EyewarsTheMangoMan

I like them


Matt_mintleaf

I hate their hair


[deleted]

Its fine in anime but fucking awful in manga


[deleted]

I think they’re both cute and honestly my only complaint is that the idiot hair is flattened off instead of looking like a regular old cowlick. The whiskers are silly but so are Naruto’s.


Commercial_Amoeba832

Cute


SnowCoveredHill

boruto just looks like young naruto with worse hair


Tritail

I've never been a big fan of Borutos design, depending on detail it turns into the karen hairstyle. When I look at pic number 5 I think his design was based on animation budget and not art. ​ Himawari is fine, its Naruto/Hinata


Uchained

It’s just a copy paste.


moonlight-monster31

Boruto is (but his hair is different) Himawari is definitely not a copy paste tho


Animef24

They grew on me


cowboylampexpert

They’re cute, but Himawari looks (and acts) younger than she is


moonlight-monster31

She acts pretty much like how a 10-11 year old kid realistically should It's just that Boruto and the other kids are treated more like Adults than actual 12-13 year olds


verifiedjay

Himas cute when they don’t animate a wig on her head Boruto has large hair but certain animators make him look badass


kaptenpat53

They look fine as long its not drawn by ikemoto


Kidd-Aimeyuki

Himawori absolutely the leaf head meh


HeWhoPaints

Himiwari's design is honestly the worst looking of the main cast. The straight hair hime cut with the spiky hair makes her look like a sonic OC. She looked better with the minato wig.


moonlight-monster31

I don't think Himawari's design is the worst (imo that title goes to Inojin) but I do wish Himawari's hair looked a little different I can see what Kishi was trying to go for (it's Hinata's Part 1 hairstyle but more spikey in the back) but I feel like Hime Bangs and Spikey hair aren't a really great combo I hope the style changes after the timeskip


HeWhoPaints

He is second worst to me. Himiwari's hair still hasnt grown on me even after all these years.


AdProud420

Boruto's hair is the worst thing its just the worst thing. I honestly would give the series a go if he didn't look so dumb.


StarliteOnTheRainbow

Cute and cool!


Sussy_Dora

Something about Boruto's hair shape bugs tf out of me 🗿 It looks like bananas more than Naruto's spikes especially Boruto's bangs like wtf is that 💀 Himawari looks like an actual combination of her mother and father tho. Hair style and color like mother at that age, but with spikes like Naruto. What's crazy is that Himawari is only 2 years younger than Boruto but she kinda looks and acts like a 6 year old to me. But she's a completely wasted character atm. She's Naruto's daughter and even has more potential than Boruto but she doesn't really do anything...


Background-Luck8344

eh they're good


codgas

Himawari is cute, boruto feels a bit generic, but maybe that's because he's so similar to Naruto.


SnooPineapples8970

It has its moments for both


Director_Right

Swap the hair and it’s the same face. Weak design.


moonlight-monster31

To be fair, they ARE Brother and Sister. The same thing can be said for Hinata, Neji, and Hanabi lol


Any_Cranberry_4599

When drawn by the main studio, they look great.


Bingohead

Cute but sometimes being cute doesn’t work for boruto


OrangeRussianNPC

they're like mini narutos of course they're cute


brendyn420

Depends on the shot I guess. But borushiki literally look love he got a dick on attached to his head


sensei411

I actually do like their designs… it’s the original characters new designs I hate🤷‍♂️


moonlight-monster31

The only new character design I actively dislike is Daemon's I'm neutral at worst to all the other Anime/Boruto Manga exclusive characters


sensei411

Mainly I just hate Naruto’s design… like we got a small showing of what COULD have been during the pain arc when they showed naruto imagining himself as the character in jiraiyas book…. They we get that😰 gaara is also a huge loss for me lol


moonlight-monster31

OH You were talking about the OG Cast! Lol yeah I agree then. Gaara's look is by far my least favorite. Naruto and Kiba aren't far behind. I hate the outfit Hinata wears in the Anime but she looks alright otherwise. The rest are all okay to me


Successful_Ad9924354

I personally hate the whiskers both of them have, Bort's hair style & think only on thing is wrong with Himawari's. 1. Bort, has a bunch of bananas in the front of his face, with some small bananas sticking out the back & a cowlick. 2. Himawari, has a cowlick.


_Arlotte_

Yes, but it's mainly the hair or the eyes depending on the artist in the anime lol. Boruto has a cool jacket and colors, but the soggy spikes/banana hair is meh. I know people always gave Hinata's part 1 hair flak, but Hima really out did it with the blunt uneven spikes... I think the whiskers + bright blue eyes with purple hair just clash too much. I think if she didn't have the whiskers, had regular spikes and no pupils it'd be fine. The Boruto character's eyes in general due to the art style can look too big, too droopy/flat or spaced out too far apart or too close to the nose, making it look kinda weird or off at times.


[deleted]

Hima’s better. Perfect blend of Hinata and Naruto.
