Michi, how come you endure tumblr atmosphere, especially post the last? I'm admiring you! *clap *clap

 

Anyway, I have ever read one or some member post, questioning, "why are you guys still here, discussing 'this' thing?"

 

Idk about the rest, but I'm a new, but nearly anymore, and I love to see you guys - NaruSaku supporter - and although it seems we've been right or we read it right about (CMIIW) hints or parallels, or whatever you call this, that make NS would/will happen, the mangaka himself twists everything in the last minute, I still want to stay here to keep in touch with you. I want to maintain our relationship. I mean, just because the ending then we stop communicating? I don't want to be like that. Love you guys! Mwah! 

 

PS. Is the content of my post normal here? Do you guys normally this kind of post here?

The thing is, The Last's production and promotional budgets aren't on the same level as the Chronicles of Narnia or Terminator. Making a return on those two respective investments so that the final estimates are in the positive shouldn't be as difficult when the ideal profit return is less than 150 million Yen away from being realised. Even a small percentage return in the international releases will garner additional profit that wasn't originally there for Pierrot, and with a potential market of 850,000,000 people altogether, I would surmise that any foreseen costs like tariffs, distribution, and promotion will have been accounted for via theatrical ticket sales. 
 
As I already said, The Last's production value can't much that much greater than the likes of RtN. An estimate of $10 million seems considerable for a movie franchise with such lacklustre standards as Pierrot's Naruto. Even if the promotional costs were to run as high as 45-50% of said production value, it's still technically a net profit, albeit small for the time being. 

Potential market of 850million people? Dude you're over estimating how huge anime is, let alone how many actually like to pay for anime
That article isn't just talking about those two movies, those were just examples. That arcticle was giving you a idea on what it takes for a movie to be profitable
Their ideal revenue doesn't equal profit, we don't even know why they picked such a number
I don't know about you, but it's clear that SP spent way more money on The Last than they did with RtN, one could even say double the amount
A small net profit isn't going to hold a company for long, neither you nor I know if this/isn't going to be a profit for SP

wat?

Some NH fan surely brainwashed her... that's the only explanation... 

[TerrorKing]

And yet people totally ignore the fact that Kishi also said that there was a time when the story was heading towards NS, which means that there was a time when Sakura actually did return Naruto's affections. 

 

I mean really, why believe one of Kishi's interviews when you can believe all of them. You might as well. Makes about as much sense as this ending. 

 

And yeah, I really hate how some people will make excuses for Naruto like "His character was butchered!" or "This is not the real Naruto!", but they won't do the same with Sakura.

Must be. Only they would say it's Sakura's fault that Naruto is a scumbag. Out of all the stupid things I've heard lately this is damn well near the top of the list.

[Lady Lys]

Bah. Hinata must always be praised. Even when for her they destroy a series. 

 

Oh Goddess of the Asspulls we bow to your magnificence.

 

 

(NH, as much as I detest it, could have even been more or less believable if done properly. Then they did it as they have done it, destroying bonds and retconning things. Believability is now 0 and so are the values of Naruto.)

 

So yeah, definitely, Thank you Hinata for taking care ruining Naruto. Thank you. kitten you.

i wonder what kinda newest drugs did take that girl for being fine with Hinata and telling Sakura to get lost I want kinda to try it too.

They both became trash in the end. Nothing more to say. Thanks Kishi for ruining characters that used to be close to my heart.

the same Kishi and AsSP took ! 

[RyohkiFan]

Did they voice most of the characters good? Or was it trash, just like the Last?

It was good lol You haven't seen the dub of Naruto?

They got to be some good drugs to have that kind of effect on someone.

I'm aware of the fact that anime is still primarily a fringe market in these other countries. That's why my original guess on the amount of people who might come out to watch the film was only 0.1% of the 850 million demographic. On a cost-per-ticket basis of $8.01 as the average in Gaara's Hair provided, the earnings are bolstered with an additional 6.8 million USD from that 0.1%, or approximately ¥800 million. Enough to put The Last over RtN by ¥1.18 billion, or 10 million USD.

 

Now tell me, do you believe that the disparity between RtN's promotion and production costs versus The Last's are equal to that amount?

Tricksie, is it your purpose in life to write these great posts that really make buffoons like me have to think? lol You bring up a number of very interesting points...

 

Quick! Have an ass-kicking Sakura!

 

 

 

  
How is it that you keep managing to post these great posts? Too bad I have zero likes.. you probably took them all anyway

 

 You guys!

She's right. Look at all the times Hinata took care of Naruto. She helped him every single time when he was trying to bring back Sasuke, and she always tried to protect his dream no matter the cost. Hinata was always there with Naruto, by his side, slowly seeing all his flaws and understanding him the most. She's a part of Team 7 after-all. One of my favorite moments is when she saved his life with her CPR (aka, the kiss of life), and when Minato asked her to take care of him. *insert the rest of the moments here*

 

Oh wait, that was Sakura. 

 

Hinata was never there.

 

Bwahahaha. That's beautiful right there...just beautiful!

How the kitten can people be filled with such delusion?!?! Honestly FFS this is insane!! I swear I've never seen such BS from a fandom before. Get your kittening facts straight. These are the same people who say Naruto's feelings were just a "silly crush/attraction (LOL)" and that "his true love is Hinata, he has no feelings for Sakura, he's only attracted to her (LOL!)".   Do they see every NS moment and automatically insert Hinata instead?    Being in the NS fandom is such a pain, canonization could not have come to a worse group of shippers, ughh..

 

Too bad I'm out of likes, but I couldn't have said it better myself. I cannot believe how delusional some of these people are, and actually find this to be an acceptable conclusion. The sad thing is that it's never going to change and there will people who continue to support Kishi no matter what.
