They're really rehashing the movie... So I guess the super flash-forward at the beginning was to have SOMETHING new, huh? But it really takes away from the whole story though, because we won't get there until a long time, and all it makes is "spoil" the very far future. Also don't worry, I'd bet the whole village will get resurrected after Bolt and Sauce 2.0 finish fighting lol.
Now, I still didn't manage to watch the Bolt movie, but this chapter still was sooo boring to me. Bolt was such a kitten when he didn't want to enter the exam for his teammates' sake, what the heck. And Mitsuki praising him got so irritating (although I understand it was only done for the exposition of Bolt's heritage...sigh). Salad seemed off with all the yelling about becoming the hokage, but I guess it's the movie's fault to begin with, right?
Anyway what got me the most is WHY IS EVERYONE SO UGLY + WHY DO ALL THE KIDS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE 6 YEAR OLD!?
That scene with new team InoShikaChou was the worst for that reason... they looked like babies, and ugly ones, too! Also what's up with my baby boy Inojin?! Not only does he "get" a new super ugly outfit, but the artist also messes up his ponytail (even though he draws awesome, detailed ponytails for everyone else
) AND eye colour?! He has black eyes in all his panel time I swear. How hard it is to like, watch the movie your manga is based on so you get the character's eyes right lol... Seriously, Inojin doesn't even look like from a doujinshi bc no doujinshi artist would mess up that badly something so basic.
And he and Mitsuki are my fav next gens so ugh... This seriously infuriates me.
The next ugliest kid would be Himawari (looked soo creepy), then Salad and Shikadai (off face details etc). Mitsuki and Chouchou (and Moegi!) looked ok, so there's that.
Also Hinata has no boobs now?! That would be hilarious, but actually it irritates me too bc again, it's the artist not caring to get the characters right... Just not fair to the fans of the original.
And now I'm supposed to believe that Kishimoto "super-supervised" this? Yeah, right, that's why he lets the artist butcher the designs he did for the Bolt movie... Makes sense.
