TBH i know this might sound cold, and rude but, i am actually ashamed to be from the U.S because of all the NH/SS fanbrats here, there are WAY too many people who take religion too seriously also but thats another story...there are not enough narusaku fans here i'm surprised U.S.A hasn't LOST all their allies due to how inhumane people here act towards others who have different opinions'. and i'm even more surprised that
kishi, and those at SP are catering to the naruhina crowd~ no, NEVER weaken yourselves to THAT level! seriously they shouldn't have to change their manga, anime, or anything just because some western rejects are never happy. so? NH/SS brats don't deserve anything good in their lives because they would just complain "no not good enough"
SERIOUSLY!? is that what the anime/manga community has come to now? but of course if kishi had pride in his work, and didn't act like a spineless jellyfish i'm sure eventually NH/SS twerps would have just moved on...sure they would be angry that they didn't get their way but they wouldn't care for ever! something else would come along and they would whine about the next big thing.
so, the western NH fanbase may have ruined naruto...but kishimoto LET THEM!
Well if it makes you feel any better in my country it's about 50-50 from what I saw (granted I only looked in one place because it's the website I used to get the episodes). I read a couple of comments on The Last, and it's pretty equal when it comes to the ones liking it and the ones hating it, not just the movie but the pairing as well. What I can tell you right now is that everyone hates the fillers that are currently running.
Oh and that's because the author didn't care anymore.
