I get it, I really do. The Boruto anime ended back in March 2023, and we’ve all been sitting here wondering if it’s ever coming back. I’ve been checking Studio Pierrot’s updates along with everyone else, and here’s what I found about the Boruto Blue Vortex anime release date.

The Official Word : And Why There’s No Date Yet
So Studio Pierrot confirmed in April 2025 that Part 2 is officially in production. That’s the good news. The bad news? They didn’t give us an actual release date.
Here’s the reality check: most industry analysts agree it’s late 2026 to 2027 at the earliest. Some conservative estimates point to 2028. I know that probably sounds like forever, but there’s some sense to it.
Why The Wait Is So Long
The original anime caught up way too close to the manga. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex only releases one chapter per month, that’s 12-13 chapters a year compared to the 40-50 weekly chapters manga often releases. So, we’re looking for a buffer of content to adapt without more filler.
And honestly? After Part 1 was about 63%-77% filler content, I’m actually cool with that. The weekly schedule really did burn out animators and create some extremely varying levels of quality. So, I’d rather actually wait for something that looks more like Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War than rush back to the production nightmare we had before.
The Format Change That Actually Changes Everything
But here’s the thing that actually made me really excited. : Studio Pierrot’s president confirmed they’re switching to seasons, not weekly episodes. So, 12-24 episode seasons with breaks in between, just like how popular series Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen have done it.
Exactly what that means is:
- Better animation quality across the board
- No more endless filler arcs to pad time
- Animators actually get breathing room
- Each episode gets the polish it deserves
Animation director Kyohei Ebata even said that Two Blue Vortex is “so serious that there doesn’t appear to be room for any original anime additions”. That’s a complete 180 from Part 1’s approach.
What’s Holding Things Up Right Now
Studio Pierrot isn’t just sitting around. They’re wrapping up Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, which should finish in 2026. Once that’s done, they can shift more resources to Boruto. Plus, there are four special Naruto episodes supervised by Kishimoto himself in the works.
The manga currently has about 20-27 chapters of Two Blue Vortex content as of October 2025. That’s not nearly enough for a full season yet. They need more material to work with before committing to a production schedule.
My Take On The Timeline
Based on everything I’ve dug into, here’s my honest guess: we’re looking at a late 2026 announcement with a 2027 premiere. Maybe spring or summer 2027 if things go smoothly. That gives the manga time to build up around 30-40 chapters, which is enough for 2-3 solid seasons without filler.
The longer wait actually benefits us. Part 1’s hiatus happened because the anime caught up too fast and the filler killed viewer interest. This time around, Studio Pierrot seems focused on quality over quantity. They want to compete with modern seasonal anime standards, and that takes time.
Where You Can Read The Manga While Waiting
If you can’t wait, the manga’s still going strong. You can read it on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump for about $2.99 a month, or check out Manga Plus which offers the first three and last three chapters free. New chapters drop monthly around the 18th-20th.
In practice, the story after the time skip is genuinely different. Boruto is on the run, Kawaki’s turned into an antagonist, and the whole village’s memories got rewritten. It’s darker and more focused, and way less kid-friendly than Part 1 was.
Bottom Line
As of May 2025, no release date has been given for the Boruto Blue Vortex anime.
However, most industry insiders are pointing at 2026-2027 for a release. Yes, that’s long, but it’s meant to prevent the anime from impacting the manga and ensure it’s done better than Part 1.
At the end of the day, I’m okay with it. Part 1 struggled with filler and inconsistent animation, so if this time it’s done right, so be it.
FAQs
When will Boruto Two Blue Vortex anime be released?
The Boruto Blue Vortex anime is officially in production as of April 2025 through Studio Pierrot. However, no release date has been given
Based on information from the industry, the general timeline is 2026 through 2027, with some speculating it goes into 2028. This is to ensure the anime doesn’t outpace the manga and let’s better production values happen this time around.
Will the anime be seasonal or weekly like before?
The anime will be seasonal. That means we’re going to see 12-24 episode chunks with gaps in between, similar to what’s happening with the Bleach: Thousand-Year-Blood War anime.
It also will let it sidestep having to add filler constantly.
Can I start with Two Blue Vortex without watching Part 1?
For bringing up to speed: Not Recommended. Two Blue Vortex operates under the assumption you know how the Karma system works, the nature of character relationships, any knowledge concerning the Otsutsuki clan, and the series of events that led Eida’s memory to change.
Starting from the beginning provides you with vital context as to why Boruto is on the run and why the village betrayed him.
