[NaruSaku fan in Kentucky]

I'm done with Kishi Naruto. I'm not done reading Naruto(and NaruSaku)fanfics and drawings. I'll proably watch the anime on Toonami until the episode where Sakura hugs Naruto. But I'm never reading anything by Kishi again.

Same here, but I need time away to sort things out in my head.  I've been through this before (Harry Potter), so hopefully this time it will take me less than ten years to feel like coming back.

Same here, too.

 

Maybe I read fanfics, or something. But I will not support this author anymore. I do not trust him to not mess his own story and characters again.

 

"Hey, look, Kishimoto has created a new manga. And the main character and the heroine are so loveable! I am sure of you will love it!"

 

Fourteen years later Kishimoto's newest manga ends, most key plot points had no resolution and were forgotten, the male and female leads are not together despite of numerous hints suggesting that they would hook up, the story ends up all of sudden with a huge asspull and all characters lobotomized, and you wonder why you wasted your time, illusion and money.

Yup, at least we now know that some fanfics are better than the actual ending -w-

If you in any way is saying that NaruSaku not happening is the same case as HermoineXHarry not happening, I think you are mistaken.

 

Even though J.K Rowling said he should have made harryXhermoine canon, I think ronxhermoine is a very beautiful pairing. Unlike NH/SS it was developed from the very beginning and in goblet of fire it was developed very much. So please don't say you have been through this before in Harry Potter. the pairings which happened in it were developed one's, and did not look like an asspull.

 

The kitten kishi made was one of a kind which has never been seen before and hopefully never will be seen in future in any other manga, well his future works will have the same kitten so can't hope for avoiding such kitten in all future mangas

Same here.

 

I've come to know so many great writers and artists in this fandom that I coundn't leave even if I wanted to, but I don't want to get involved in any more sh*storms, especially trying to defend some sh*tty author's crappy resolves.

I'm sorry, but Ron Hermione felt so asspullish to me it isn't even funny.  None of the romances in Harry Potter were developed, they all just happened.  If anything, it felt to me like the whole book 6 was about Harry and Hermione being love potioned by Ginny and Ron.  Rowling had to break Hermione's character in order to justify it with Ron, and Harry had this wierd "chest monster" thing for Ginny that came out of nowhere -- nothing beautiful about it.

 

But that's a topic for another discussion board.  I meant I had been through a case where a chapter (or book, in this case) radically altered pairings using (from my perspective) gimmicks and kitten out of nowhere, if anything.

 

Ah, never mind.  I don't want to talk about it.

[tricksie]

No, this is like having the same Harry Potter story, except in the last chapter/epilogue you find out that Draco married Hermione and Harry married Luna. 

[Jenskott]

Or Cho.

 

God, I spent most of the fourth book wondering "But exactly WHY Harry is SO smitten with Cho? WHY does he likes her so much?" It was everything "Tell, do not show".

CRACK PAIRINGS CRACK PAIRINGS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes Naruto and Hinata is a crack pairing for the sole reason that they only had a hand full of interactions in the series in which there was so much more with Sakura. If he really intended NH he would have developed them more and have Naruto reciprocate EARLIER may I add. Plus I don't particularly like the obedient house wife which he practically portrayed Hinata as and reduced Sakura to.  Japanese culture or not, It doesn't sit with me particularly  because it looks kittenING ooc for Sakura and when on god's green earth would a outgoing and hyperactive guy like Naruto settle with with the submissive, softspoken, "whatever you say darling" type of girl? And again all of this had  next to NIL development, and sorry excuses that were fly off the handle. THAT was my rant. Thank you for Listening
