I believe it's because of circumstances behind the scenes as well. Don't forget, the next film set to be released is part of a project that's separate from the original anime and manga. Something tells me that spin-off anime conceived probably just 6 months ago isn't part of her contract. And she's probably already disappointed her superiors, her co-workers, the percentage of fans still supporting the series, and probably Kishi himself for her less than enthusiastic attitude in interviews, pictures, and at JF.
So it's okay for Kishi to completely screw over neutral fans, NS fans, SK fans, Neji fans and other parts of the general fandom? It's okay for SP to let their fanboyism over a side character ruin Naruto and the team 7 bond, but it's not okay for Junko to quit because she too was disappointed by the ending and what it did to a once great series?
I'm not blaming you, but yeah it wouldn't surprise me if this was the case. My opinion is that, as long as she's not breaking her contract, then she is free to do whatever she wants with her career.
He did explain that women are like that in the Edo period, but today I do think so. I think it was Rikudou or Ramen that that forwarded the Japanese response from the sexist interview when Japanese fans (mainly the NS) said, "No way!" Yeah popularity does overrule that but that would mean general fans are now SS shippers because of Sasuke's character too lol.
But the thing that Ramen also mentioned that Sasuke fans are wary of SP abhorrence towards Sasuke's character will discourage them from purchasing more tickets. I'm pretty sure the Sasuke fans who got ripped off and I think they won't be paying SP and Kishi out of there pockets any longer.
The topic is way back in this thread. I'm too busy to go back and search for it. And if its confirmed than I have a hunch that The Last was originally intended to be an AU (not canon) movie for the spinoff for PT3 and Kishi originally intended to end the manga as NS and Naruto as a possible Rokudaime Hokage under his own writing (without fanservice). And lets SP and Viz used the AU series for NH and SS fanservice. That's why the modern technology could not be explained. Rumors said that he could not make NS canon because of personal reasons, if so true. I think we fans is a portion on that person issue because last year this forum had members joking about crack pairings (mainly NH and SS) becoming canon and how we were decling the manga especally the Obito is a cool guy.
This forum is well known throughout the Naruto community worldwide except Japan (until recently). I just wonder if Viz had an lurkers to monitor us and reported back to Kishi how we fans treated his work and maybe he felt so betrayed that he sought retribution against us when the final 2 chapters came out and the red herring interview. That would be so f**cked up if this were all true.
So you're saying that Kishi is a big baby who couldn't handle people talking kitten about his sh*tty writing? If that's the case, then that's just another reason to never support that man ever again. Not only is he a bad writer and a sellout. Apparently he also has the mentality of a two year old.
And yes, I am aware that this is all just speculation. It does sound a little far fetched, but at this point I'm willing to believe almost anything.
