I watched the whole thing In about a week, during the time of the Naruto filler crap. Short and sweet. I don't really think of fanservice one way or the other; I was more tuned in with the pure badassery and mindkitteny that was happening in nearly each episode. Now I'm kind of wishing I would've saved this until after the Naruto manga ending. lol.

I was honestly expecting something a little bit more...flashy/elegant. Hinata is looking good though, reminds me a little of Tsunade's attire. I know like 95% of you people on this forum hate Hinata's guts and only want her to be the clan leader so she can be preoccupied and out of the way of NS, BUT I legit want to see her be something more than just pairing fodder....As for that artwork, NH really does look miserable; doesn't seem right at all. When I look at NS, it just fits. NS clearly makes the most sense but.....Kishi has been shown to not give a crap about logic, so idk.

@redrose3443 Yeah, it's sad. We haven't seen a single slug sage in this entire series. I can only imagine how incredible Sakura would have been if she mastered that thing. But this is Kishi, so I have no hope.

Naruto's movie design is a bit of a dispointment, he still doesn't look like an adult, he looks like an highschooler.

And Sakura looks like she's 14.

Too bad, because Kishi's sketchs of Sakura were good (except for the fat ass)

Y'know, I'm just gonna say a few words. When I was a little boy, I used to think a cute face and a skinny body (no muscle tone, no fat) was amazing. Then, I grew up and became a man. ...I'll leave it at that for now.

It took me forever to realize Sakura was never meant to be that kind of heroine. Definitely had to do with me expecting too much from her role. Funny random thought, but I just wonder how well Kishi's potential next manga would do if it had a female character in the role of the main protagonist.....romance subplot not included. I would pay top dollar to see how far he'd go before mucking it up.

I'm actually interested in Konohamaru and his squad's possible new designs. Also Hinata's little sister Hanabi, could've sworn I saw a pic of an older version of her having shorter hair, I don't remember if that was real or fake though.
