Naruto's adventures may have ended but his equally fun-loving scion Boruto is just getting started. More details about the forthcoming sequel to "Naruto: The Last Movie" titled "Boruto: The Naruto Movie" are spilling out ahead of its nearing August premiere.
The trailer for the film has already been released, care of Australian anime distributor Madman Entertainment. In the clip, which has English subtitles, fans hear for the first time how Boruto sounds like, allowing them to develop a first impression on the character.
Voice actress Yuko Sanpei is the voice of Boruto in the film. In her resolute voice, Naruto's son declares his failure-proof disposition as well as his grit and strength. Indeed, confidence runs in the blood, and Boruto, who has no interest in his father's feats and fallouts, is dogged to make a legacy of his own.
As for other voice cast members, Kokoro Kikuchi is set to play Sarada, Sasuke and Sakura's daughter, who is believed to be sharing the movie's spotlight with Boruto. Moreover, Junko Takeuchi is back as Naruto Uzumaki while Noriaki Sugiyama plays Sasuke Uchiha one more time.
Masashi Kishimoto, who created the legendary "Naruto" manga, expands the warrior's universe, "starting everything from zero," as he revealed to Crunchy Roll.
Being a man with a few words, the maker of the "Naruto" universe has this to say about the movie: "There's no way I can top this."
Kishimoto dreamed up the character designs as well as the original story and script (with Ukyō Kodachi's help) and serves as the executive producer and chief production supervisor for "Boruto: The Naruto Movie." Hiroyuki Yamashita, who is very familiar with the manga, directed the film.
"Boruto: The Naruto Movie" is the 11th film in the "Naruto" series and will officially embed Naruto's strong-minded offspring into the cosmos. It will premiere in Japan on Aug. 7.
