was once a SS shipper when I was a little girl, yes kill me now, so:

-Sasuke and Sakura look good together in terms of appearance.

-Initially if you were the typical hardcore Sakura fan, you would want to support her and since she loved loves Sasuke... yeah. (Oh and also you would hate Karin).

-Sasuke is a handsome man = fangirl fantasies. If Naruto was a shoujo, and Sakura is the protagonist, Naruto and Sasuke as her love interests, fangirls would immediately root for Sasuke cause he's the bad guy with the cold attitude. It's all shoujo cliches. Even now, the cliche is still alive. You know bad guy always gets the girl *shivers*, typical shoujo. And of course every series has fangirls.

P.S. Nope, not a fangirl, never hated Karin, but had my shoujo fantasies, a long long long long long time ago. Besides putting myself into a SS shipper's shoes, there's no way I could appreciate the ending. I mean what kind of author tells you that he has no idea how they ended up together and still paired them together. What's the point? 

Not another heartache please.

Finally caught up with the thread!! SO many pages in a day, I even skipped some. 

Seems like you puck yourself quite of a NHtard   Lol XD  What's his name if I may ask ? The only stupid person I know who attacks everything that is NS Anti NH is that idiot Koshej  if its him don't even bother . 

IKR. I'm actually  feeling quite lethargic to reply to him today, but anyways I will, I don't want him to think I ran away. xD No it's not Koshej, but he's sure friends with him, Koshej's in there too lol, it's SuperSaiyanMan12. Here's the link if you want, http://fav.me/d89qjt5. You could choose to ignore it, it'll ruin your day.

Just gonna drop those NS endings here (for absolutely no reason) :

 That's why Aqua Timez is one of my favorites along with their song "Mask," an ending theme in Bleach. 

The visuals in that freedom song is so strong. 

 

That's what I was wondering about. Smiter mentioned it, and I wondered it there was any more news, or any more specifics.

 

Like if it's a film festival, that would have had set dates and would have been well known in advance of the Naruto movie. So that shouldn't suddenly halt the release of the movie.

 

Then what could have been something unexpected that suddenly delayed the movie? Connecting the dots, it does sound like they're either doing damage control or waiting for the bad publicity to blow over.

 

I wonder what the pairing love is like in the Philippines? If it is not completely in support of NH, then the movie is going to go over like a ton of bricks.

It said because of a technical concerns on the film content? It's also weird since every year, they hold the film festival on December,it has been a culture. Or perhaps our Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) really deemed it as such, hell I wouldn't be surprised if they block it for being too mushy (lol), they recently banned a local horror film that's to be shown, giving it a double "X rated" for content and the reason was being "too scary."        I watched its trailer and it seemed better compared to other local horror films being produced. 

People around me prefers Hinata over Sakura, heck one of them even hates her for being weak (does nothing but punches along with Tsunade) and loves Hinata and Mei because they're apparently hot. So pretty much. I've only met quite a few who're NS (and they're not even that deep into the series.) But I can say many fans here aren't really much into the story and only goes along the ride, many of them  would go to something that is easier to understand, and thus avoid things that makes them think and reflect. Filipinos are known for being more sentimental than logical, it speaks volumes because I sometimes find that in myself as well. And lastly, because this country loves White people, we try hard to become like the West. Sad mentality I suppose. So I can say this country is dominated by Hinata.

Most of them are neutral fans. In the shipping part, I think NH is more popular in here.

I agree with you here. 

What angers me the most is Kishi's excuse that Hinata was the first person to understand Naruto. Seriously ? I'm supposed to accept such bs from the guy who wrote the story..?! 

 

What exactly did Hinata understand about Naruto other than his pain of loneliness and his nindo ? Maybe, just maybe Hinata was able to understand Naruto better initially simply because she was suffering from the same kind of pain.. ?

 

'' Sakura only understood Naruto by the middle of the story '' - Yes Kishi, Sakura was a 10 year old girl who had a very normal childhood. She did not understand Naruto initially because unlike Hinata , she did not experience loneliness. How can you expect a 10 year old child to understand others when even mature adults are sometimes incapable of that ? 

 

As far as I'm concerned, I see no fault in Sakura. She was simply acting her age. Its beyond ridiculous to compare Hinata and Sakura then ! Hinata only understood Naruto because she had the same problems as Naruto. This led her to observe Naruto more closely and she found out about his nindo.

 

Sakura had no reason to do the same. To Sakura, Naruto was this obnoxious prankster who always got into trouble. Only when she was put into the same team as Naruto did she understand that there is more to Naruto than a troublesome brat. How exactly does figuring out Naruto a little later make Sakura any less worthy..? 

 

What happened after that ? Hinata's 'understanding' of Naruto never went beyond his nindo while Sakura understood his dreams, she understood his abilities, his pain of being a Jinchuriki, the importance of his bonds with Sasuke, Jiraiya etc. Its safe to say there is no one who understands Naruto as much as Sakura.

 

The epitome of their difference in understanding can be seen when Hinata and Sakura are thinking about Naruto in the War arc. Hinata was all 'me, I want your hand, I want to walk together with you, me ' while Sakura was ' Us, your dream is in front of our eyes, no matter what you say we'll do everything together'. 

 

If indeed Hinata was supposed to be that special person to Naruto, why is it that she never ever was shown to even care about his dream about becoming Hokage ? Why is it that Sakura ended up being the only person who, from the beginning till the end, showed an unwavering and selfless devotion to Naruto's life-defining dream ?

 

Kishi can do all the mental gymnastics he wants in the interviews to try and convince everyone that Hinata was always the one. What he cannot do is erase from our minds the 698 chapters of his manga. And its there for all to see that the person who always understood and stood by Naruto's side is Sakura. 

Amen. Take all my likes.

Exactly. Sakura and Naruto grow together and mutually support the dreams of the other. It shows growth and character development. That should be rewarded, not misguided persistence.

might use this in my argument.

I had to come across this, 

 

why?? Why Feels No Jutsu Why??. 

 

 

Fellow Filipinos out here, manunuod ba kayo sa December 17? Malamang hindi, di ba? Puro kapalpakan lang itong pelikula na 'to. 

Still debating. Prolly not. Will depend on the news that will come out on Dec. 6

Btw, nice to meet you fellow countryman!   (Damn, I just revealed my location, oh well, it's not like Hinata someone is gonna stalk me.)

I wanted her to stop chasing after Naruto, not for the sake of NS, but for herself. I always wanted to see a strong female character who can stand up for herself. The problem is her character was always about Naruto, who shall she be without Naruto? I actually wanted to see her coronation day as the leader of her clan. I actually imagined this scenario that during her inauguration, she will keep Naruto as her inspiration to lead the clan but will finally stop chasing after him because now she has a more important duty to lead their clan and demolish the flawed system between the Main family and the Branch family.

While walking in the aisle, waiting to be inaugurated, Hinata reflects, "Naruto, you've always been an inspiration to me, your smile saved me, and changed me. But today, I'm finally going to stop chasing after you. To lead our clan is now my sole duty as a Hyuga. To change a flawed system that destroys relationships; that is my new goal. Naruto, I will always be grateful to you and to Neji nii-san for helping me achieve what I am today.  This day will mark a new chapter, in the Hyuga clan, in Hyuga Hinata."

I could have worded it better but oh well. 

P.S. Also, she is overrated and her fans worshipers are crazy.

What is all this NH fluff, what? I can't, was Naruto SHOUJO all along?
