I read somewhere some people are returning their tickets...

Good.

Also didn't naruto's voice actor say the ending was "shocking"? What's so "shocking" about a NaruHina kiss? If the whole entire movie is devoted to focus on their budding romantic relationship, then ending the movie on a kiss is very predictable and logical in my opinion. Nothing even remotely shocking about that at all. Unless… the movie ends in a completely different direction than initially perceived...

The amount of people on tumblr DEFENDING Kishimoto over this and trying to justify his comment (and the ending) is disgusting. 

Uhhh, if he decided on Hinata "awhile ago" then why the kitten did he even bring up (and confirm) the Kushina comment. He could've just ignored the whole "find a girl like your mother" thing like he ignores many other important things in his story, but he showed it anyway thus bringing it into relevancy. Like, seriously? What the hell is wrong with him? Perhaps the stress level of continuing Naruto on a tight schedule for fifteen straight years served to deplete what little intelligence he initially had. Kishimoto is such a goddamn idiot.

Someone on tumblr was trying to justifying Naruto's behavior towards his son by saying that he acted the same way with Konohamaru (hitting him, yelling at him) and is, thus, not out of character… are you kidding me. Konohamaru was a FRIEND, not a SON. He wasn't raising Konohamrau nor is he responsible for shaping his initial behavior and attitude. With your child, one's attitude and way of handling situations and disciplining them should be different than when handling situations concerning a friend. Why? Because you're responsible for your child's upbringing. You're responsible for shaping them into individuals. You're responsible for providing a nurturing and healthy environment. With a FRIEND, those aren't your intrinsic responsibilities. You aren't responsible for providing a nurturing environment per se, but you are responsible for being a good friend. However being a good friend and being responsible for affecting one's development based on the environment you're providing someone with is DIFFERENT. 

Also, when Naruto hit/yelled at Konohamaru, he was younger. In the epilogue, Naruto is obviously a LOT older and should have the necessary maturity in order to figure out a way to properly handle and discipline a child. Oh my god. There is no excuse for his behavior. He was out of character. Period.

You know what really pisses me off? The whole manga's theme is about BONDS. More specifically, bonds formed with family and friends--not necessarily bonds pertaining to romance. This theme is centered almost completely around team 7 and their own respective bonds with each other, as well as other friends, teachers, and family in the story.

The main bond focus has always been team 7. The entire story was centered around that bond and progressed because of it. The story emphasized the pain of such a bond breaking and withering over time, and the super-objective in the story was to replenish and strengthen this bond in order to not only heal it (and the people associated with it) per se, but to also make it stronger and more mutual and reciprocated. Bringing Sasuke back was the only way to start healing the bonds between the team as respective teammates and comrades. Healing and strengthening the bond was the only way to achieve true happiness and complete closure for everyone involved in the team. So in knowing this, you'd think that there would've been some significant and heart-warming team 7 moments in the last chapter of the series that was all about team 7 and the bonds formed within said team as a collective group. But nope. No interaction between them as a team--as a group of friends at ALL. Yes, Naruto and Sasuke had significant moments in 699. And Sasuke and Sakura shared a kitten moment. But what about them as a team? ALL interacting together. Like family and old friends. Instead, all of the interaction is focused and centered exclusively around Sasuke rather than the interaction being centered around the team as a whole.

That's why I'm so MAD. In the epilogue, we do not get to see the team bonding like old times or even interacting together as a whole in the slightest. We don't even get any evidence (whether implicitly stated or not) that all of them remained extremely good friends, all supporting one another. Instead, what do we get? We get Naruto bonding/interacting with Sasuke in 699. Then Sakura interacting with Sasuke in 699. And that's it. We don't get anything more than that concerning team 7. Instead, in the epilogue, panel space is wasted showing everyone paired up, along with their irrelevant children. Panel space is wasted by focusing on Bolt and Sarada in an attempt to set-up part 3 when INSTEAD, the EPILOGUE should be focused on tying up all the loose ends. Panel space is used showing the team as a separated being, all in their own individual lives (and individual panels, mind you). Almost like all of them went their own separate ways. They are shown separately. Unbounded to each other. It gives off the impression that they are disconnected in a way. They are no longer whole or complete as a team or group. It's an utter mess. Instead of Kishi focusing on bonds centered on friendship and companionship (a crucial and main theme to the story in its entirety), we get Kishi focusing on the weak and under-developed bonds centered on romance instead (which were not NEARLY as important as the theme centered around friendship and supportive comrades was).

Everything the story stood for is tossed out the window COMPLETELY. You'd THINK Kishi would show team 7 together at least in the same panel in the epilogue, but he DOESN'T. Hell, he doesn't even show the poorly though-out "canon" ships together in the same panel. This ending is such a joke I cannot stand it. The whole purpose of bringing Sasuke back was to reform, refine, and renew the bonds involved with team 7, but we don't even get any complete closure on that. Or anything, really. Never, ever would I have imagined the ending of Naruto would turn out so poorly. Kishi has always had some poor writing at times, but I NEVER thought it would ever be THIS BAD. This ending is the epitome of failure in every sense of the word. And it's not just because of NS not becoming canon, either.

Oh, and one more thing: before anyone tries to tell me that'll we see team 7 interaction/bonding in the movie, let me just start by saying that that's kitten. The manga was so heavily influenced by team 7 as a whole and so entirely centered around it that closure should've been given in the MANGA, which started it all to begin with! Team 7 was SO IMPORTANT throughout the entire course of the manga--the entire 15 years--that time and panel space should've and needed to be devoted to giving complete closure and satisfying interaction between Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and even Kakashi as teammates. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SEE A MOVIE, NOR SHOULD ANY JAPANESE FAN NEED TO WASTE MONEY ON A MOVIE, TO SEE THINGS THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN ENTIRELY RESOLVED IN THE MANGA--THE ORIGINAL WORK.

GUYS. NO ONE THINKS HE'S WITH KARIN IN THE EPILOGUE. They DO however think that Sarada is supposed to resemble Karin in order to implicitly state something or convey an indirect message of some sort. Whether he used it to mock SS or not is up to interpretation.

I'm just like did Himawari go to school?

Nah, instead she blazed it with  Hinata "H hizzle" Hyuuga.

Apparently someone on tumblr looked at what the Jap fans were tweeting and they said things like "seriously? seriously? seriously???" "What of NaruSaku?" "It's not NaruSaku?" "What happened to NaruSaku?" and so on.

Can't wait for Monday when the chapter's officially released in Japan… I'll be expecting a LOT more tweets like this and general disappointment. 

Attack on Titan if you haven't watched it already. Would recommend Death Note, but it sounds like you want action and DN's more on the psychological/thriller side. I'll probably post some more recs later.

Also yeah Code Geass has action as well as mechas so you might really want to check that out before anything haha.

Okay then, not like he's important or anything, even though he was all the way up until the war arc.

 

how the heck did he get treated so badly??? He was like a second Kakashi sensei.

I think Kishi just didn't feel like doing Naruto anymore. I honestly feel like had little motivation to put in the creative effort in order to make a sensible and satisfying ending where all the loose ends are tied up. W/e.

And I forget, but didn't Yamato get captured in the war or something? What was the point of him getting captured if nothing ever resulted from that hahah ok.

I just can't stand this SS kitten. Obviously it wasn't so hard for Sasuke (and Naruto concerning Hinata) to randomly develop feelings for Sakura that he never had before in the entirety of his life, but apparently it was soooo hard for Kishi to make Sakura accept her developed and continuously hinted at romantic feelings for Naruto which have been growing and growing over time. Yeah ok.

lmao ayyy page 420 lmao

Alright, anyway I've wasted enough time on this continous nonsense today so I think I'm going to call it a night. Can't wait to see the clusterkitten tomorrow has in store for us. It's going to be real. See you guys later~

 

if you get trolled, then there will be

Not really… if he gets "trolled" then that's that. There is never anything wrong with trying to stay positive or waiting for all of the evidence to come together in order to form/refine an accurate opinion or view on something.

Found this posted on tumblr: "when i die i want kishimoto to lower me into my grave so he can let me down one last time"       

guys.

 

guys.

 

remember when mikasa thought eren was dead?

 

eren wasn't dead.

 

don't assume
