The other four box set releases, listed as "Chapter II" through "Chapter V," will ship on May 25, July 27, October 26, and January 25, 2019.


So then, the show's definitely gonna run for around 50 episodes, huh?

Did people still really doubt BC being 50 episodes?

A Japanese BD or DVD vol. is usu. about 1/2 those prices and usu. contains 2 episodes, but will have 3-4 episodes if the companies are nice. I am perhaps wrong in assuming so, but I take that it that those boxsets hint at 20-24 episodes.

It can vary a lot. Both last season's Made in Abyss and this season's Food Wars were split into two box sets, but the former was only 13 episodes while the latter will be 24. We wouldn't know the episode count for sure until they release more information (The official website doesn't have anything on the releases yet) but it is almost certainly more than one cours and being 50 or so is more likely than before.

But it's not BD/DVD volume here. It's the boxset. With those amount of epsiodes can vary, but usually it's more than 10.

The series has been confirmed to run for 51 episodes. It’s been known for awhile.

The first DVD boxset for Boruto has 15 episodes so the number of episode can vary a lot.

Makes sense given it's based off a shonen manga and those tend to be long drawn out series. I see it being around for a while.

Is that true in Japan too? Cause we don't really matter.

I've seen a lot of negative coments on internet about Asta's voice, but do we really know if it's the same in Japan?
I mean, maybe for Japanese people Asta's voice sounds just ...normal.

I'm pretty anti-dub but I really love Asta's voice. I don't think the issue is the voice, but the writing. Way too many exclamation points in the script. I can't think of any seiyuu that would satisfy people in this role. Usually these types of characters talk quickly and squeeze in a lot of words along with their yelling (Hiroshi Kamiya - Araragi or any of Yoshitsugi Matsuoka's characters). Asta is yelling but not saying anything or repeating most of his words. I think....
