Sadly most kishimoto's old interviews are gone and most of the ones now are the current ones

Video games surpassed comics about 20 years ago, the fact that comics have been in decline since the 90's not helping them, and they surpassed Movies in profits almost ten years ago. Though that went unnoticed due to the stranglehold films have over western culture. Granted, I am assuming you are thinking games are only recently getting big due the things like, the success of the Sonic and Mario movies and such.
 
Comics despite the fact they were holding up Hollywood for the past decade, are not respected. Their stories are not respected. Their writers are not respected. Their art is not respected. Hollywood does not respect anyone but themselves. For comics, they see it as a pathetic boy hobby they want to turn into a girl hobby, since they assume the boys will just accept it, and see their fans as losers that they can milk for money. People at Marvel have made it clear they prefer to hire "fans" not fans. They see people that have actually read the comics as a red flag, and don't hire them. They want people who will do whatever they want with the IP; then use the 'bigot shield' when it backfires. Over actually making an adaptation.
 
Remember, the only reason the One Piece Live Action turned out the way it did was Oda was an executive producer and force them to follow his story. If not, the "fan" writers and "fan" directors would have made another Live Action Cowboy Bebop. Same with the Mario movie, before Nintendo intervened it was going to be another mess and then they step in.
 
As for schools making reading a chore for the students. It not a problem that they make students read for assignments the problem is that is likely the only time they ever read if at all. Hell, when I went to college, I knew a girl that never even read a single line of Shakespeare before a class we took together; because apparently the schools in California just gave them power-point outlines of the books and stories that were required reading. Harry Potter was often the only book they ever read for enjoyment; if they read them and not just said they did while only watching the movies. Which is why millennials obsess over it.
 
Watching something on TV is often a passive way of absorbing a story. Books require active absorption as you have to imagine what happening in your mind about what you are reading. One of the reasons storytelling quality has gone down in the West is because they stopped reading. Another is, they know if they play the virtue signaling game, they will be given a pass; so they don't put the work in.

No I'm talking about at least for over a decade, since games games like the last of us came out and were mega popular. I wouldn't really say that with every comicbook movie, as directors such as James gunn, josh weadon and the russo brothers I recall were comicbook fans.

From everything I have read and heard from one piece fans and youtubers nothing implies they would of done another Cowboy Bebop and that the showrunner is a passionate fan of one piece and wouldn't do anything without oda's approval. Nintendo and Mario I have no idea about, all I recall is that you had the anti woke crowd acusing it of being a feminist movie with how princess peach was portrayed in the trailer only to u-turn when the film turned out to be really popular.

You think books with pictures with link comics or managa would be at least somewhat appealing since they do have visual images to look at. Not to mention you can read a chapter like naruto in a few minutes.

Noted I think it fine to do some video and articles now and then to point out the problems to to newcomers so they see it isn't one-sided as some nh and ss fans make it out to be.

To be fair luckychi she talks about other stuff not just shipping.

Found these videos talking about everything wrong with the ss and nh relationship

Probably around the time of the pain arc

Who? Are we suppose to know which dragon quest character you are referring to by instinct?
 
The anime had a lot of filler promoting Hinata because the staff was obsessed with her. It is why they ended Naruto marrying Hinata because that was their end goal all along. Without the anime, Hinata is a character that's barely involved in the story and barely interacts with Naruto despite professing love for him. With it, while she still isn't involved in the story that often, she is constantly by Naruto side, and constantly thinking about how much she loves him.
 
Most Western fans seem to hate reading anything, and prefer just to watch a tv/movie/anime and accept that as canon. I lost count of the people I have met that say they love an adaptation, that they love as well as care so much about the story, that they wish to learn more about it, but will never read the source material. Saying excuses like they want to watch all the show first before they read the book, so they won't get spoiled. Then they never read the book. Even if they do, they hold the adaptation over the source material, and will differ to that when inconsistencies happen.

I've tend to notice that with books like lord of the rings, game of thrones and Harry potter. Comics people are ethier more aware of the movies or cartoons depending on the era they grew up in and get suprised when the adaptions of comics are a mix of different stories rather than a full on adaption, though comics continuity would make it more impossible to ever full adapt stories unless their are elseworld stories. Though games have started to become as big of a medium.

My guess is because they are more accessible to watch and consume, especially with streaming services in recent years. Another reason which came from a youtuber called lily orchards who did a video on making fun of J.k.rowling, during which mentioned that due to the education system making reading more like a chore for kids, becoming less fun making it into assignments of highly revied books by adults. With some only getting back into reading when a fun book at the time like Harry potter came along.

So I wouldn't be suprised if many of the anime only watchers would view the 700 hundred chapters chore to read, even though the anime became worse than that due to filler.

Question... who would voice Shina and Hanami?

These are some of the voices some have chosen

Hes referring to when you got agitated during the recording when they were trying to finish up their point.

When you were interrupting him but Steve and I were telling you to wait your turn.

Im not exactly getting onto you about it cause I know you were dealing with something before we started recording last years anniversary podcast.

I think thats what he means by hoping youre in a better mood this time when we do the podcast this year!

  

yes that's what i meant by that,

Having just recently watched most of the podcast we pretty much interrupted eachother quite alot and I probably got agitated because I felt singled out for that.

To be honest I wasn't really enthusiastic on this topic as I don't really think naruto would go evil unless iruka tried to kill naruto in chapter 1, because once he makes the bonds with team 7 I don't see that changing unless you do some injustice scenario and the majority of team 7 is dead

hopefully next time blue is in a better mood

  

True true! 
 
 
Things should be good this time around!

 

Hey what's that's suppose to mean

Question... when Shina is in danger... would Sakura say... "my baby."?

Maybe when he is young before he becomes a ninja

that or they betray him 

I can't really see team 7 betraying naruto, at least kakashi and sakura

Even though Luffy rejected her twice. Lol

Thats the big difference between Naruto and ichigo. Both were rather oblivious to Hinata and Orihimes love.

Luffy at least knows and hes still just like I dont care.

I think its also really telling when you see this how Oda mimicked Luffy meeting a girl who looked very similar to nami in the original one shots for one piece.

Plus Oda did say he emulates a lot of Luffy, and his wife emulates nami especially that she cosplayed as her too!

Unless oda decide to have luffy as an asexual like many thought sasuke would end up being

He's shown that he has a sex drive after being exposed to the Happiness Punch by Nami (and when Bentram disguised himself as Nami and did the same thing). Heck, Luffy himself even admitted to Boa that the only reason her powers didn't work on him is because she had pissed him off too much to think lewd thoughts.

  

Thats exactly what I was about to say too and they are all pretty valid reasons. Especially when it comes to Luffy and his attraction to woman. Along with the point you brought up about Boas power having no effect on Luffy. He was simply too annoyed to even have those kinda thoughts about her.

Well oda did mention in an sbs that ussop is a bad influence on him, though unfortunately luffy hasn't been in the a situation to confirm this post timeskip. Closest would be renji kissing him, but he was unconcious.

The good things they are doing is Spider-Man. Like no way home, Spider-verse and Insonmiac.

 

Honestly if they kept going with what nick Spencer did I'd see more people reading those comics. Granted they are rebooting ultimate spiderman under John Hickman telling a new adult spiderman I hear discribed of being like Peter B. Parker from spiderverse.

 

Because they listened to Bendis when he stated that established lore, personalities, relationships, etc. didn't matter and to write whatever you want in continuity.

Where did he say this? If it was because of the ultimate universe, that logic would only work in a eleseworld universe without the main continuity like injustice.

Though etheir way I'm not suprised as bends has always had a mixed bag of a reputation with comicbook fans.

Anyone else seeing alot praise for the kaguya and madara twist lately I'm wondering what's up with that?

I am now 30 years old

Some of those trials could invole death to help them grow, like I said hiashi for neji and hinata or guy for Lee.

Arguably because black clover moved to jump giga

Huh.

It's not Kishimoto writting it but are using his notes

Well everyone Im 36 today.

Sorry its late Happy birthday

The new boruto chapter is out with early scans.

That pumihh fan fic character

Last I heard, he is taking over writing Boruto.

I belive that was a misstranslation and instead they are going with his original drafts

Sakura has been voted 1st for strongest female character by Japan fans
