Guess who's back. Back again. None of you care.

I'm back. Partially anyway. With a new light.

Ok let's get serious. The last months well they weren't too well for me. So much so that well let's just say I didn't want to continue and you get what I mean.

I wanted to start a thread here, wrote a bit, but just couldn't find the right words and it was difficult. And even now I'm not really in the right mood or health.

I'll try to catch up to what I missed, maybe even add something, I don't know.

Anyway I don't know what to say, I'm not my usual self for now. So yeah.

I feel like a lot of us have "moved" on from this forum, not for a lack of interest or fading interest in the ship itself, but rather because it has been 8 years more or less... we've practically discussed all that needs to be discussed. We can't change the outcome of the story and there seems to be no intention of making any sort of fix despite how awful Boruto's numbers are for both the manga and anime. Doesn't mean we don't still visit, like I'm doing just now, lol. Nah, NaruSaku is always gonna hold that number one spot to me for best shipping, regardless of how many new pairings or confirmed sails I've gained/will gain/etc. It's got great chemistry, it's got good characters, heck the colors compliment each other. 

 

And I'm not just saying all this because a particular friend of mine happens to have, from the looks of it, slipped off the deep end and suddenly decided to become a NaruHina shipper... *cough

I think that what happens when you don't get any new content exexpt fan works. Which likely won't change unless naruto becomes a multiverse franchise like marvel and dc with a narusakverse.

Also the fact the form has a problem letting new members join right now

There's Boruto but no one really wants to talk about that, most are stuck in 2014 with the ending and the Last.

No one here really watches or reads Boruto, so it cannot really be discussed in great detail. Everything that needs to be said has been said about the ending has been said, so there is just not much to talk about anymore.

Besides, even if we did read Boruto from my understanding Naruto and Sakura just aren't close anymore so there isn't anything to talk about in that regard either.

And there's the fact so much of the anime and manga is to try to disprove NaruSaku and to show them as not being as close as they used to be on purpose.

I can discuss Boruto objectively, I just have no interest in reading it, since I could already tell with it playing off of Naruto's plot points the story was stretched beyond it's breaking point and snapped in half long ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ironic don't you think? What do they even have to disprove NaruSaku for, if they are catering to a new audience rather than the old one? I've ready accepted the fact that NH won and what it costed was only the very story established itself, so I feel they are only doing it TO CONVINCE themselves NaruHina was worth alienating and pissing off the original audience because at this point it is completely unnecessary if barely any are even watching it

On another news, latest Boruto volume sold only 67k for first week (7 full days).

That's about ~6% of what typical Naruto volume sales in the same time span (1st week, full 7 days) prior to vol. 64.

A good proxy to indicate 90% - 95% fans have done mass exodus, moving out of the franchise.

The last two volumes of Boruto sold less than 100k before it's thrown out of the top 50 list. The best part? Kishimoto's name was officially on it, replacing the previous editor. lol. As if slapping Kishimoto's name would solve the declining sales issue. It actually accelerates it.

Hinata and NH have practically killed the series. It's clear that Boruto is as good as dead the moment they moved it to VJUMP. It's basically KTLO (keeping the lights on) from that point onwards.
 
We're probably going to see sub 20k sales in first week within 3-5 years if this trend continues. It won't get cancelled. It'll just continue to be the sunken cost for the producer.

It just shows the one big flaw of Studio Pierrot's Hinata bias-- they couldn't tell a convincing way for Naruto to fall for Hinata legitimately, so they go out of their way to retcon kitten, ruin Naruto’s relationships outside of Hinata, and turn Naruto into the ultimate Scumbag in the process by stupid crap such as he don't understand love in spite of how empathic he is by having made Zabusa, a heartless killer, break into tears!
