They are trying so hard..... and they are failing so miserably. Eh, NH, so so miserably.
The poor bullied princess, never mind that there were a kittenload of people with those freaky eyes and that she was the daughter of the lord of the clan, the poor princess must be bullied otherwise we lose that disney-like characteristics of the puuurrrrfect love story. Lest Sakura be the only bullied child. When Hinata steals everybody else's pasts she does it with style, meaning she steals everything. (maybe next time she'll dye her hair pink?)
God, they made me hate this series. They made me hate it so so much. Nothing was saved from Hinata. Nothing.
Sakura Hiden should be renamed NH hidden: the umpteenth WTF. Canon or not it has all become a joke, but at least I can sadistically and evilly laugh at the squabbles between SS and NH.
Yeah I don't care about canon anymore, as long as I know it wasn't planned. So that interview really stung, lies or not.
