I am pretty sure that is an older poll. KakaIru is not nearly as popular as it once was. I never see JiraTsu anywhere on Japanese fanart sites. KakaSaku seems way more popular than KakaSasu. GaaNaru and MinaKushi should be up there. NejiHina and KakaObi also seem popular. And ShikaTema could be a top 5 ship now. ShikaTema really exploded in Japan after 700.

And yes, NaruHina would probably place in the top 10 now. But it took Kishi rewriting the entire manga and a stupid movie to make it somewhat popular in Japan. And for every fan, it probably gained two haters.

Who knows how the Part 3 film set to release in August will be received, though. It could potentially earn an even lower rating than this most recent release. 

It will come down how well the kids are received and if they can carry a movie/anime/manga. If they make a movie based on Bolt and Sarada interaction then they are crazy since very few seem to care about them. Naruto and Sasuke they are not. Fans like Sarada, but Bolt doesn't seem to excite anyone. I sense Shikadai and Inojin(chalk white skin aside) have more way more potential to take off as beloved characters. Even Himawari or Asuma's daughter. Bolt just seems to be an uglier Naruto clone.

I am actually enjoying the filler arc. After the nightmare of The Last and ending, it is good to see the characters acting like themselves.

Hinata isn't whining about Naruto and seems more interested in passing and her relationship with Neji. This is the Hinata I like.
Neji is alive and is getting a lot of screentime. The last time we will see him.
Sakura is being her usual intelligent self. I like the fact she took the leadership role of her group.
Lee and Tenten are providing comic relief.
Ino is shining once again.
Shino is being Shino and tumblr is already shipping Shino x Fuu based on this episode. Sadly we already know nothing can happen.
Shikamaru looks like a genius again and they are nailing the ShikaTema interaction in this arc. This is how you develop a couple.

It doesn't change a thing, but it feels like the old Naruto when it was at its best.

I soon expect Kishimoto to say something really infuriating when he is promoting the Part 3 miniseries that SP will probably milk into a 400 episode anime that is 90% filler. That will bring a bunch of discussion.

Plus, I imagine some will jump onto the Part 3 shipwars. I don't think there will be many Bolt × Salad shippers here.

People might have actually enjoyed this episode and arc if it weren't for...you know. The whole series crashing down and NaruHina cash grab.

Decent Sakura focused episode that remembered the Sakura and Ino friendship that Kishi forgot. Given I read it in a million fanfics, it was nice to see at least anime canon confirm Sakura joined Team 10 for the chuunin exams. Now two Team 7 members were actually part if Team 10 for a bit.

And even though it will hurt, it does look like they will have Sakura think of Naruto a lot.
