It's amazing that someone or something could entrust so much to a company like Pierrot - what with the enormous inconsistencies in their rendition of Kishi's story and the willingness to circumvent facts to suit their ideal universe (I'm looking at the drawn-out, overexaggerated "struggle" that Hinata had with Pain and her fanciful flashbacks versus actual spur of the moment confession seen in the manga and her face being planted firmly into the dirt after a short and pointless charge at God Realm).
Even if Kishi is monitoring the progress of this movie to ensure its authenticity, it's still ostracising those who only read the manga. What are they supposed to do? Suffer through whatever Pierrot's team churns out while foraging through the animation to find a few gold nuggets of information that can genuinely tie into Kishi's image of the plot? I have some misgivings of my own about this. I'm afraid that in a movie that is apparently being labeled as canon, Pierrot is being given an extended hand to inject their own influence over the manga universe. The influences don't even have to be large. Something that might seem "trivial" like a slight change in the mood of a side-character or a technique being used that was first introduced in filler now being considered as part of that person's actual manga moveset, that is what concerns me. I certainly don't want to see something like that chakra net barrier of Hinata's from Part 1 filler becoming a part of the canonicity because of a loophole with this movie.
I just hope that Kishi remembers that this is ultimately his work. It was originally created by him in paper format and it should end in that same manner IMO.
other studios do that too. e.g. attack on titan some scenes are given to fan favorite characters rather than the manga character
