Oh yeah just wanted to add how strangely unappealing Ikemotos art is. Like, its not anatomically wrong, his linework is fine, the dynamic poses are interesting and i like how he colors page spreads yet somehow he manages to make the characters look ugly. I think the way he draws the eyes and the shape of the faces makes the characters unappealing to look at. Look at hinata, she doesn't look like a 30 year old, grown woman.. she looks like shes 14 which is terrifying, theres no maturity in her face. Salads facial features are those of a child but her facial expressions are that of a grown up which is equally unsettling when you see what she wears and what she says.

Ikemoto's style isn't fit for shonen to me. At least, not Naruto's style. His style would fit in better in a seinen manga.

 
Why am I not impressed?

Who the hell is that guy to the right of Sarada?

I was rereading Naruto and was reminded of how terrible of a job Hiruzen did with Orochimaru. He let him off the hook despite clearly seeing him do human experimentation and putting the pieces together that he was behind the disappearances of some Leaf citizens. Hiruzen inspired Orochimaru to seek rebirth and immortality, as seen in the flashback when Sasuke faces Orochimaru.

Also, Naruto, despite going ballistic over Orochimaru claiming Sasuke as his, and despising him for causing Sasuke to leave Konoha, doesn’t order for Orochimaru to be locked up or executed? Does anyone know his status, because correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think he’s locked up or anything. Very confused.

I have a friend who said that even if narusaku did become canon we would still get boruto as their son because thats what kishimoto had in mind. I don't know about himawari but i think that has some truth to it.

Well Kishimoto forgot to give the kids Byakugan at first if I recall right, so I doubt he had anything “in mind”.

Speaking of the Hyuuga clan, are people still getting sealed? Naruto said he'd change the Hyuuga system, so did he take action on his promise?

The two girls at the top are from Kubo's oneshot "Burn the Witch".

Just saw this. I cant stand how he let his story be wrecked by studio Pierrot

I have to admit, reading this makes me feel bad for both him and Oda, especially the latter one. His comparison of Jump to a stream/rapids/a river of acid caused me to gain a new perspective on him and his struggles as the creator of a popular manga. I'm still mad over him giving us that horrific ending, but there's a sense of sympathy for him in my heart.

I love Hiei in Black Clover's artist's style.

It’s simple, really. Kishimoto failed to make a good first impression. And a good second impression. And a good third impression. And a good fourth impression.... so on, so on. A good impression would be to show the Sakura who fought Sasori. The one who was determined to overcome her obstacles, to better herself, who wasn’t about to stand by to the side and do nothing. She was strong, determined, useful, tactical, nimble in that fight. She wasn’t a crybaby, she wasn’t obsessed, or annoying. We got to see what she was truly capable of. Being a strong, worthy heroine who was not one to be trifled with.

This video seems to be false. On of the comments summed up a contradiction of this pretty well. Kishimoto said in one of his interviews the he was surprised at how much hate Sakura had garnered. If he actually planned for her to be hated, he probably would’ve stated he was pleased instead of surprised.

I was watching youtube like always when i saw video "Top 10 Anime Where Bad Boy Fall In Love With Girl". At first glance i was like ... meh nothing special , but my brain suddenly like get zap and i was like "Oh let's see if that abomination a.k.a sasuke and sakura was in this video" ..... and it was not in the video , i was like "Thank kitten for that". But i decide to look at the comment section to see if there is a monster would comment demand that SS should be in this video (Sorry whoever support SS is a monster in my eyes). And there is .... now the video is new and there's 1 comment that say "Where is sakura and sasuke?" with 1 like from the uploader and the comment was posted 55 minutes ago , i bet the upvoted and SS supporter will keep coming there.
 
I always facepalm whenever i saw a human being support SS relationship. NH i can slightly understand , but SS ???

The only time I would understand the appeal of SS is from the Chunin Exams arc to Sasuke’s departure from the Leaf. Post-Departure, I honestly can’t understand it at least in terms of Sasuke-> Sakura. They was literally no evidence. Well, there were interactions, but they were all negative.

Some argue that the times Sasuke tried to kill Sakura were either in self-defense and/or because he was mentally unstable, but what about the war arc where he lets her almost drop in lava without sparing a second glance? He was sane of mind, and they were on the same side. Where’s the excuse for no concern?

The only thing keeping NH down is their lack of interaction and Naruto’s romantic feelings for Sakura. If I had to pick the lesser of two evils, I think the answer is obvious.

I just started reading this, and I don’t really like Bakugou... He’s the angriest character I’ve ever laid eyes upon, and his attitude is horrific for no reason. Now, I don’t mind spoilers, so does he make any big leaps in development so far?

Honestly, there’s very little chance of there being many interactions between them. Maybe we get a couple, but not much. It’s not going to be a romantic interaction because they’re married, obviously, but at least show some best friend moments between them. Just classic NaruSaku moments. It’s not much to ask of.

Here we go with the friendship stuff again... Although, it's only the first chapter, so I guess I'm being a bit harsh. Less fanservice than I expected. The setting being in space is relatively interesting, so I'll keep my eye on it.

I can't feel bad for Hinata anymore. In the end, she truly got what she wanted. She's now the "heroine" of the story instead of mean old Sakura. She holds the wonderous title as the very first "heroine" to have less than 1% panel time in a manga. She got married to her dream boy, granted there were some unorthodox ways of getting him to fall in love with her despite loving his teammate for so long (i.e an illusion), but Hinata will accept those means, I'm sure. Everybody loves her huge breasts and/or submissive attitude. What more could she want? What more could she gain?

So Eden Zero is the title of Hiro Mashima's new series, and we got some character designs 
 
 
 

I'm not that excited. Fairy Tail is one of the worst manga I've ever seen. It went downhill during the Edolas arc, and after that, pure kitten. Erza is somehow invincible "because she's Erza", Juvia's character was utterly ruined, too much fanservice, friendship power-ups, and I heard Mashima didn't even plan the ending. There are many more flaws, but this will be a whole essay if I list them all.

Hopefully he improves on Eden's Zero and depending on my mood, I may read it.

I finally mustered out another page after a very busy week!
 

Oooh I like it! Is the comic weekly or just random dates? Its fine either way because its obviously worth it!

"Rule of thumb" in Naruto. If you are a woman, you are either pairing fodder, WERE pairing fodder, or wish to be pairing fodder  

Or have your potential wasted.

https://screenrant.c...trivia-secrets/
lol secret #1 most of their development is filler
secret #2 it shouldn't have happened
secret #3 hasn't this question been covered on some website already?
secret #4 we ran out of things to talk about with naruto so as predicted we wanked to hinata instead

As I looked at this article, I asked myself: Why? There are blatant contradictions in this article. In fact, Ive been using that word a lot in terms of this ending, contradiction. But who can blame me?

More like once bitten, twice shy.

Kishimoto apparently teased a few pages of his new manga.

Not gonna lie, it looks interesting. Im more worried about the plot.

There was so much potential that was just thrown away. Kekkei tota is one of them that Im pretty interested in. Onoki has dust release, which is one. And one is mentioned in Gaara Hiden. But we don't get any background. Thats one thing im pretty pissed about.

I remember start of Part 2 Naruto manga serialization, I and a lot of others were so surprised at how well Kishimoto was developing Sakura, and gave her opportunities to shine, especially during the Sasori arc. And then after the Tenchi bridge, he just started blatantly ignoring her, tried to make her relevant during the war arc, and then brought her right back to her 13 year old self in the last 10 chapters.
 
Artfully crafted I'd say!

Even after I die, Ill never forgive him equalling Sakura's level of importance to Kiba. Never.

I cant really do it in a particular order but

Male: Itachi, Shino, Shikamaru (Im starting to warm up to Sasuke so hes a runner up)

Female: Sakura, Konan, Kushina

Is this prologue going to end anytime soon?
