“#BORUTO Animators Celebrate Action-Packed Episode 217 and Show Off Their Amazing Work”

Without going into spoiler territory, if you’re not caught up on the BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS anime, now is a good time to fix that. Episode 217, “Decision,” is a doozy, and like any good episode, it has animators coming out in full force on Twitter to champion the series and show off some of the work they did.

Here are just a few samples of the work that went into the latest episode:

New Zealand-based animator Jordan Rear (@Sanguinii) showed off some incredible fight animation:

Mitchell Gonzales (@MitchJGonzales)—who has been working on BORUTO since right before the Kara Actuation arc—expresses their love for the series through some heavy-hitting cuts.

My cuts Boruto 217.

I came of this episode a bit later so I needed to bang out the ol’ college red bull.

I came on Boruto just right before the Kara Actuation arc. Learned a lot since then, and I’m beyond happy to be working on my favorite series since I was a kid.#Boruto pic.twitter.com/uBWAqXQWAt
