How did he not complain about episode 167?
but yeah I knew about this interview, I just hope that in the end both anime and manga will match with no inconsistencies, that's all I ask.
Actually lady the only inconsistency I can think of is with Naruto meeting Utakata, the 6 tails jinchurki.
He never met Utakta until the fight with Obito in the manga. Yet in the anime he met him in the filler arc, this is typically the only filler arc that will have some extension in the anime.
As for the episode, yeah its a filler but hopefully Naruto's mentality from ep 235 and now Sakura's from this, well just hope they are what comes in the manga, I mean fillers don't count but at times they can give minor hints for what comes next canon wise. I mean maybe we are just leaping on this for NaruSaku and from how in ep 235 Naruto says he is still in love with Sakura and now we see this with Sakura saying she used to love Sasuke when last in the manga we know she is depressed about what he came. I mean it was not an overly bad filler but hopefully Naruto and Sakura get the right development in the end, I mean we don't want to see Sakura revert back to fangirl part 1 mode, that would be a disaster.
Yeah fillers are non-canon but they can advocate some stuff for the future, just rarely, and usually they don't really matter in the end.
