Wait, there was coins of them for some reason??? O-o; It just shows Studio Pierrot's stupidity in the end. Just like their lies in advertisements for The Last about what it really was about, just to try to rack in the bucks after fans who bought advance tickets and such couldn't get refunds XP
Yeah, that's exactly what it was if you ask me with Sakura; she had development and depth. All Hinata had was moe points, a crush on the main character, and big boobs, so people liked her rather than Sakura just because of how Sakura was at first without giving her a chance to really develop. XP
Oh yes, we posted the images. I said my input (I believe I did. If I didn't then I was under retirement mode after the whole fiasco. I don't feel like going through the archives right now). It just to show not only misogynist views: Hinata is gold because she got everything, top billing as heroine so Sakura needed to be "dethrone"; Naruto is her "man" while he's a silver coin (why? He's the titular character, that was beyond stupid. Its like we're putting other titular character franchises like Sonic as a silver coin and someone else like Silver as a golden coin). The marketing for The Last was beyond stupid. I wonder did that cafe with the cast closed down after the backlash.
Back then, they had some good ideas like the theme park, the train and the reforestation for the kids. Why everything went haywire just because it wasn't competing as it was suppose to?
Nah, I believe it had something to do with one statement and it had followers for many years. I stated awhile back that it could be possible that Sakura was hated because of the statement Masashi said in her concepts way back. Fans took it as bible passages and the followers came. You see why they ignore her development over the course. But it could be also the reason that the team was also adding more and more about Sasuke and the Uchihas, thinking that idea had more priorities than adding more to Naruto, Sakura and the rest of the cast when they needed it. Same goes for the Studio Pierrot with the anime as well. Especially for all of that filler. They could've at least give Sakura screen time around the period instead of adding stupid and unnecessary ideas like 13-year old naked Hinata scene and making Naruto beyond dumb for comedic effect.
