Boruto Naruto Next Generations English Dub Funimation

Okay, let's be real. We all secretly love complaining about dubs, right?
Especially when it comes to anime. And especially, especially when it comes to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
The Boruto Dub: A Love-Hate Relationship?
I'm just gonna say it. Sometimes, the Funimation dub is… well, it's a choice. A bold choice.
Must Read
Some people get all worked up about voices not sounding "right." But honestly? I'm kind of here for the ride.
Like, remember when you first heard Shikadai's voice? Yeah, it was different.
Character Voices: Yay or Nay?
Mitsuki’s voice actor does a surprisingly good job capturing his peculiar personality. It's like a robot trying to be cool and failing hilariously.
And don't even get me started on Boruto himself. His English voice? It's a little… whiny? Maybe?

But isn't that kind of perfect for the character? He is Naruto's kid after all, but with extra teenage angst.
Sure, there are moments where the delivery is a bit… off. But those moments are GOLD.
They're the kind of moments that make you rewind and watch again just to cringe-laugh.
It's like a car crash – you can't look away. You know you will enjoy the ride nevertheless.

The Dub Adds... Something
Unpopular opinion time: sometimes the dub adds a layer of unintentional comedy that the original just doesn't have.
Maybe it's the slightly stilted dialogue, maybe it's the exaggerated delivery. Whatever it is, it's entertaining.
Think about it. The dub provides meme material. Who doesn't love a good meme?
And let’s be honest, reading subtitles constantly can be tiring. Dubbing lets you focus on the animation and the fights!

Plus, you can finally multitask! Folding laundry and watching Boruto? Now that's efficiency.
It's All About Perspective, Really
Look, I get it. Some people prefer the original Japanese with subtitles. That's totally valid.
But for those of us who enjoy a little bit of "so bad it's good" fun, the Boruto dub on Funimation is a gift.
It's like getting a surprise bonus level in your favorite video game.

It's not perfect. It has flaws. But those flaws are what make it special. Like Naruto eating all the ramen and forgetting about his responsibilities.
So, the next time you're watching Boruto, give the dub a chance. Embrace the awkwardness.
You might just find yourself enjoying it more than you think.
And hey, even if you don't, at least you'll have something to complain about online!
Win-win, right?
