One should read fan mail, but not do what the fans ask. Make the story how you want.

[Gaara's hair]

But I'm not really sure what happened so...there is my daily wisdom give away

[Atheck]

Agreed. Plus she's a mom, that's so otaku feeding.

Anyway, if I ever find the address to Kishi's, what should I send?

 

Everything you can think of - not just with the flaws and contradictions of the ending and film, but how the series was beginning to shun previously established facts and information while failing to address certain plot points like Tenten acquiring the Sage tools.

 

She used to wear make up and she was pretty damn flirty at times too.Shes not a complete tomboy, and her part two outfit wasn't exactly prudish either.

 

Sakura was flirtatious once in a blue moon, but it was never a prominent nuance to her characterisation. Her clothing choices suggested an impression of proactiveness. However, it didn't betray the modest overtones which Kishi strived to maintain, especially with her casual attire. It's not a desire of Sakura's to peddle flesh for attracting a myriad of men to her feet. As an adult, I thought perhaps she would dress in a more homely fashion that doesn't draw too much attention from the perverted gazes of the lustful. I don't associate Sakura's canon self as being or appearing like a seductress.

 

Edit: More than that, it wasn't necessary to alter the facets of Sakura's body that have defined an aspect of her character just for attracting the otaku fandom (and that's clearly what Kishi was intending, you need only look at Karui's abrupt appearance for proof).

Are the part 3 designs officially released? I mean, source? 

Eeeehh ? what ? When ? Where ?

Agreed.

Unfortunately Kishi was not that bright

[TerrorKing]

I really dont see the issue with Sakura's part 3 look...it's better then Hinata at any length.

I think it depends on the intention. If the intention is to show Sakura as a woman who is fully confident with her own sexuality, then I'm all for it. The problem here is that it seems to be done for pure fan service and nothing else. 

 

I guess we'll have to wait until part 3 to find out, those of us who are still around that is.

Exactly. It was thanks to Kishi's storytelling that I got hooked on Naruto in the first place, not because of rabid fangirls and fanboys.

I like how some of them drew her with these read hairpins even before Kushina appeared !

She looks awful in 700. Sorry. Just as bad as Hinata.

They are made for her.

I ran out of likes. I will ask again when the time arrives. In the meantime, I have manga to get rid of.

And I agree with you there. I mean Kushina didn't do it, so why Sakura. Yeah...Maybe that's why Tsunade looks forever young or even younger...

[TouKen4Life3g]

That I'm sure of. I think he sold Naruto to SP for some reason, I just don't know what drove him to it. If he did it for fanservice, why did he spew out so much kitten in interviews? If he changed his mind a while ago, why didn't he replace Sakura with Hinata in 631 and 663? Is it a rumour or a fact that his marriage is failing? I understand why a poor person would be greedy on money, but this guy is already filthy rich is he kittening uncle scrooge irl? If he is as sexist as the ending implies, why did he have some anti-sexist moments in the first place? Usually sexists are ignorant, but this guy is not and it's like he did it on purpose??

Well he did say women must stay with the first men forever. Basically, they have no control or second thoughts. Hell, it's in the movie too. Women never changed feelings. That's insane. No moral for guys? What the hell. We're not all but love. Women are not love and nothing. Men and women are one! God!

Anyway, there was an old interview about his young days about money, so yeah. Not to mention he did say he can't write women and based it on love thanks to love triangle. Sad...

The flames of destruction long for your manga, NS4Life.

 

I also thought that was peculiar. Everyone has visibly aged in the last ten or so years. But Tsunade looks as youthful and sprightly as ever. As you said, she actually looks younger now than during the war. Before I might have assumed that her intended age was in the spectrum of 27-32 maybe. Now her face has kind of an innocent complexion fit for someone in their early to mid 20s that you can make out when she's talking with Mei. Either that transformation jutsu has been strengthened more to counteract Tsunade's ever increasing decrepitude or maybe she really has discovered her own method for immortality (eternal youth, to be more precise). Although I can't see the benefit in living forever when everyone you loved has long been deceased and their descendants are coming and going in a timeless cycle of birth and death right before your eyes.

I think it's just being hinted at that the older she gets the more insecure she is, so to compensate she makes herself look younger and younger. That's how I took it at least.

Uhg I can never eat salad again because of this kittening story. From now on until I die it will always be:

 

Waiter: Soup or...

Me: Soup! Don't you dare say the next word!

Waiter: You mean....

Me: NO! Don't say it...

Waiter: Sal....

 

*twenty minutes later well talking to the arresting officer.*

 

Me: I told him not to say it Officer. The way I see it, it was assisted suicide on his part.

 

 

What's part three?

Burrito and Salad's Lunch Time Adventures.

That's the most realistic explanation. Personally, though, I find the attainment of real immortality to be a more interesting character concept, albeit it's somewhat old and rehashed.
