It has been exactly one year since the Boruto Anime went on a hiatus. The anime ended on a cliffhanger with the main characters going against each other, teasing the fans with a time skip. The manga series has already started the time skip, although it has yet to pick up the required pace. Fans are now curious about how Episode 294 of the Boruto anime will mark its epic comeback. Here is everything you need to know about Boruto Episode 294.
Boruto Anime: When Will New Episodes Release?
Boruto Anime is produced by Pierrot Studio, which is working on the Bleach TYBW series at the moment. Bleach TYBW Cour 3 will be out in the middle of 2024, while Cour 4 will be released somewhere in 2025. It seems doubtful that Pierrot Studio will work on the Boruto anime until the completion of the Bleach series. So, sadly, Boruto Anime may begin releasing new episodes in or around 2026 or 2027.
Boruto Anime: What Changes Are Likely To Be Made In the New Episodes Of Boruto Anime?
Fans of Boruto anime have noticed that the filler arcs were fast-paced. However, they are eagerly waiting for more anime original content. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, supervised by Masashi Kishimoto, is facing pacing issues. Fans do not want the same to happen to the anime series. The anime has some talented scriptwriters, and with improved animation, the anime’s original content of Boruto will be exceptional.
Fans have been wary of Boruto’s storyline from the beginning, and their fears have unfortunately come true. Probably, Masashi Kishimoto didn’t want to work on Boruto for a reason, which explains why the quality fell short of expectations. Studio Pierrot has previously stated that they are devoted to providing the highest quality and resurrecting the magic that Naruto had.

Some fans believe Boruto should return as a weekly anime solely to be in the spotlight. However, there are rumors that Boruto Anime may make a significant reappearance as one of Pierrot Studio’s seasonal anime, and there is a strong reason for this.
In a recent interview, Keiro Itsumi, Managing Director of Studio Pierrot, revealed that following the Mappa incident, they are addressing the mental health of their employees. Keiro Itsumi has mentioned that Studio Pierrot is taking the new industry trends into account to extend its business overseas while maintaining the highest quality standards.
The company has made steps to compensate animators for overtime by 20% and has been careful with scheduling to avoid compromising quality. However, a few fans have argued that the animes created by Studio Pierrot are not profitable, which is why the Boruto anime was abruptly canceled.
Final Thoughts:
Nevertheless, the hype of Boruto has never gone down, no matter how much people disliked it. With its comeback, Studio Pierott may be able to bring back the old Naruto magic with a new twist!
