"A NaruSaku shipper’s comments on The Last………."So I saw The Last yesterday in NYC with rieriebee, MY BESTIEEEEE (hiiii XD!) and before we rushed to the train station to catch the 4:15pm train, she made me get my red scarf to wear so we would match in the theater. (Obviously I wasn’t too thrilled buttttt I did it anyway lol.)
The trek there was FREEZING!!! I hateeee the cold!! But when we got there, we met another NaruHina shipper from Peru that was really sweet. And the ambiance on the line was very warming. Narutards had headbands, there were cosplayers… And everyone was excited! The theater was going to have a raffle too for a poster of the movie!
In the theater we met two more fans of the Naruto series, and they were awesome people. It was really fun discussing everything with them and our different views. Honestly it was so amazing being in the USA in NY, united with all types of otakus to watch something that everyone grew up with… Finally coming to an end on the big screen all the way from Japan!
And I actually won a poster in the raffle, go figure XDDD!!! Me, the NaruSaku fan haha! I was actually really happy. I never win anything! And it felt really nice to have a part of the final installment that I grew up with.
I went into the theater knowing everything. So of course nothing came as a surprise to me. But honestly, I think the movie was delivered well. I know I have fellow people in my fandom that are disappointed and I felt that too, but after watching it a second time (the first time will not be mentioned because it wasn’t the right way lol), I really felt okay with it. The Last was supposed to be about Naruto getting his happy ending. And he did. That’s why I was okay with how it turned out, I did not close my eyes or curse under my breath etc. when there were NaruHina moments (and there were a lot, obviously lol).
I was fine the whole movie with my emotions, playing it cool, and then all of a sudden at the end (spoilers!!) when Hinata and Naruto were running through the meteorites(?) going back to Earth before they kissed, I was hit right in the feels. I started to cry because I knew he was finally happy and all the moments in the manga and anime that I’d read and watched the past ten years came flooding back… And it was just too much. I looked over at Marie and was like “what the hell why am I crying this is ridiculous” and she’s like “because it’s beautiful” and I honestly had to agree. It really was beautiful. And the soundtrack was perfect.
The fight scene at the end was great too because the soundtrack was really emotional for me, with the original Naruto theme. I’m sure many of you agreed!!!
Okay this was super long and I am so sorry lol. Overall, it was a nice movie, and the animation was awesome! I’m very happy for Naruto and Hinata~!
But of course, I will always, always, love my ship :).
