Doesn't Tenten have like 90% accuracy or something like that? If you really think about it, she is at least stronger than Itachi. We've seen him miss with his kunai before.

Infinite Tsukuyomi dream fillers next week
it seems the first one is Road to Ninja connected well some of it since Lee and Guy look have that "cool" design that Tenten dreamt about
oh and also TenTen is the protag next week

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

the infinite tsukuyomi fillers are going to last for weeks, right?

Oh god please no........

I'm happy with TenTen getting a whole episode to herself though.

They don't even care about that. They just plopped the Chunin Exam arc right in the middle of the Madara arc. Studio Pierrot gives no fucks.

These excuses don't hold at all.
There have been countless filler arcs. They could have come up with original stories with well thought out arcs and characters. They could of used the rookies to go out on interesting missions. Just recently they had the reins to an entire Chunin exam arc and the result was disappointing to say the least. Even after all these years, they can't even grasp the personality of the main characters. Oh and this is forgetting how I'm sure fillers have gone against canon numerous times.

Pretty much people give part one naruto alot of crap(rightfully so) about an entire season and a half being filler but at least they kept it consistent with the story with alot of the fillers being them looking for ways to find sasuke

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I never saw the year or two's worth of filler. Is it worth watching? I know Mizuki (silver haired shuriken villain from the very first arc) came back as a roided out hulk ninja or something.

As a Hinata fan, some of her fillers where really really good

Even more now that we know she's endgame

The Gaara ones were fun. And the whole rookies on adventures were really fun

Rest were kinda meh, nothing insulting like the Nu Chunin Exams

Oh yeah Tiger Mizuki. That was certainly something. I have to say as far as fillers go, The Kakashi Anbu arc was ok and made it interesting to see his interactions with people like Gai. I wish they spent more time on the time he spent working with Itachi and less smoke people stuff.

That move they gave hinata in the filler went on to be a defining move in her moveset for the games lol. The konoha 11 arc was great! And i enjoyed some of the one shots like shino and naruto with the laughing episode or naruto,choji nd sakura making ramen lol

Yes, they didn't do that. They did for Bleach, but even there it required weird stuff like cutting away in the middle of an arc. The stakes will however never be high in those fillers and you have to accept that. And because of that, it is boring because you know how it will end. It would be a lot different once they get full control.

Hey NarutoGaf, I have a question. Was Sasuke's "atomic/scientific" motif done deliberately or am I reading too much into it?

His MS looks like an atomic symbol.
He talks about breaking bonds to attain new/more power. When you break the bonds between molecules, energy is released. So I thought that was pretty clever.
Susano'o hurts every cell in his body.

Is there any more like this? I just thought it was interesting.

You give Kishimoto too much credit.

Also that shit about Susanoo hurting every cell in his body don't apply no more. Probably just growing pains.

Stakes they don't have to be high for it to be a captivating arc. I don't believe SP knows the cast and their relationships well enough and form what I've seen neither do most fans.

That would be impressive if true. Who knows. Can't see much reaosn for the other MS designs. I guess Itachi's looks like a shuriken which was the symbol of the Konoha Police Force and which he would no doubt become the leader of.

The genjutsu trap was just the wheel they chose to move the plot. Much better than a generic confession, I think. Plus this is Naruto, and Naruto LOVES flashbacks.

"Genjutsu love" misses the point, though. Naruto has been falling for Hinata since Part 1. The Last is just his wake-up call.

 

[Frog-fu]

Naw, man, nobody that actually cares about the story and continuity more than romance actually buys into the BS. There was no wake uip call. The Last is just some high tier pandering retcon horse shit. The only reason they did it that way to push this true love angel to a nonexistant relationship. They could have and should have cut that entirely.

Me too, couldve done without the "Can't live without you" at the end dude you told her you liked her yesterday!,

I wouldve changed it for a simple asking her out to eat ramen, movie ends with them having fun together. Hell movie should have ended with the one shot!

But this is shounen anime, and it was sweet despite the rushed ending. Naruto got the best girl and OP kids.

Haters can stay mad

Yeah, there are so many things wrong with the Last and at this point its been pointed out numerous times, though SP messing things up is hardly new. Kishi should of never given them the reins to such a thing.

Don't worry, the Boruto movie is so much better.

[Psycho_Mantis]

Difference is Kishi was far more involved with Boruto. Far less questionable decisions, characters are well represented and in character and its a great intro to the Boruto character. The biggest complaint about The Last was the lack of Sasuke despite being advertised so much and Kishi also understood that hence Sasuke being a main character in Boruto the movie. The fighting scenes are animated really well too. I've heard very few complaints from people who have watched the film so I guess they did manage to do it right.

 

[Sai]

Uh, as a Sasuke fan, The Last's lack of Sasuke screen-time was hardly its biggest complaint.

Boruto is being made out to be a better production than The Last was though.

Ignoring the most important character to the series after the protagonist, especially one as popular as Sasuke, is not going to please fans.

Funny thing is they advertised him so much, yet he appears for 30 secs to chidori a meteor. Whats even more stupid is him turning up all of a sudden and then leaving....well it had to be otherwise Toneri would get wrecked. Just another baffling decision SP went with for the pettiest of reasons.

 

[Joni]

Yes, wanting to make a movie about Hinata and Naruto and then not focusing on Sasuke is 'petty'. Should have left him out completely.

I mean... why place all the blame on Pierrot tho. On a whim, Kishi could have given half the film to his favorite character in the outline. But the film wasn't about that. It was about setting up and paying off Naruto and Hinata's (however flimsy) relationship. Sasuke would have simply muddled that up. Besides, Sasuke showing up for such an extended period in the film would make no sense in the context of where the manga had left off two years prior. Sauce at that point would still be on his journey of "redemption" anyway in the middle of bumfuck who knows where. Him occupying a larger chunk of the movie would have made zero sense.

Pierrot is the one who predominantly wrote the Last, thats why.
Meanwhile, Kishi just recently said in an interview how in Boruto he had full control of the script. I think you are misunderstanding things. Sasuke did not need to be in the film. The problem is them advertising him a lot for the film, then giving him 30 secs, and the context of his arrival and disappearance being nonsensical.

If you can read properly Joni, the petty reason is referring to showing Sasuke coming to Konoha and then making him leave in seconds because if Sasuke was there, Toneri would get destroyed.

IIRC, Sasuke was in Konoha, Toneri was on the fucking moon.

And we have little clue how Sasuke's teleport works or when did he got the ability to travel between dimensions so that excuse doesn't work either.

See, that makes me depressed. We finally have these new low-level but interesting characters. Let's build our movie about them on an enemy completely out of the range of anyone but the two god level ninja's instead of giving the kids a challenge.

That is how Kishimoto would have handled it. I'm glad Pierrot doesn't get the Sasuke the perfect savior description Kishimoto has given the character.

 

[jdkluv]

Kishimoto had ultimate creative control and directly influenced The Last far more than any movie prior, though. Because he had the intent of it being canon.
