Freezered.

 

[Ray Down]

Dude she outright said she loved him!

Spoiler

Naruto not knowing what love is, literally becomes a plot point in the movie.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Hinata youre too precious for this world!

 

[B-Dubs]

She too adorable here...aaaaand Pain just stabbed her to death...

 

[SparksterMeta0]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HINATAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

This is a really well animated episode actually.

 

[Grexeno]

Well you just set off the rage bomb

 

[Xe4]

lol

 

[Raxus]

Who animated that episode?

 

[Man God]

Wrrrrrrryyyyyyy

 

[B-Dubs]

Yea, I'm pretty sure he definitely hates you now dude...

 

[Seda]

shiny shiny

 

[ckohler]

That legit made me angry.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

KICK HIS ASS, NARUTO!!!

 

[zedreamcast]

Probably my favorite episode and moment in the entire series. I fucking love that question so much. "Do you hate me now?"

 

[Crocodile]

This is a bad ED song to transition to after an ending like that :/

 

[Schadenfreude]

You dunn fucked up now, Pain! Time for Ghost in the Shell.

 

[redmetal86]

Back to happier times, when she could ride a jitensha, or walk.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

DO YOU HATE ME NOW?!

 

[Morlas]

i think that's actually the first time naruto sees someone he cares about die....spoilers

Spoiler

she doesn't actually die though

 

[Moaradin]

Next ep is even better. All the budget.

 

[Ray Down]

I got to call some bullshit of them not showing 6ht tails....or Pain meme line.

 

[Xe4]

lol, that ED. Shit makes no sense with respect to any of the recent episodes. Next episode is the infamous one, that I actually really like.

Time for GITS.

 

[Mizerman]

All we know is Pain.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Dammit. I'm too tired to handle that episode.
I'm going to bed.

But next week, this FINALLY becomes relevant.
Welcome back, Joestar!

 

[ckohler]

How can this show not always be that good. Such a shame. That was amazing.

I guess I now understand the reason for the Happy Happy Hinata ED now.

 

[zedreamcast]

Who animated that episode?

Hirofumi Suzuki was the animation supervisor and 1st key animator.

Technically I believe that is wrong.

Nobody dies except for Pein but who cares when he basically removed all consequences and tension.

 

[Morlas]

if you were gonna go all out on animation it was gonna be for this episode and the next

 

[Seda]

so, shipping is dumb

But Naruto and Hinata is pretty much a telegraphed couple. I'm not 'shipping' when I say this. This is just typical and obvious. You don't need to untangle it like it's a complex mystery or defend it like it's some sort of holy war.

 

[Morlas]

nope

Spoiler

she isn't revived by pain, she's healed by sakura

It is always frustrating when we get that one great Naruto episode every 50 episodes or so.

With competent direction the world and overarching themes and story of Naruto should be fucking awesome, and it's so upsetting that it isn't.

Which made the reaction to the ending all the more sadder and hilarious.

Because shipping is dumb, it being telegraphed doesn't matter.

I don't think it is.

Yup. Didn't stop the Naruto thread from tearing itself apart over it though.

The main problem is that the other side doesn't see it as obvious and the take it as an offense for some reason.

 

[Zonic]

ah yes, the movie that says it's not our memories that define us, it's our actions.

.......in an universe where PEOPLE CAN HAVE THEIR MEMORIES DELETED OR REWRITTEN, THEREFORE REDEFINING WHO THEY ARE.

I mean yeah. I don't ship, but some characters are obvious. Like Ymir and Krista in AoT, or Revy and Rock in Black Lagoon. At some point, it's not even shipping, and more making logical inferences based on super obvious context.

Yeah. I always thought so.

Which is why I was flabbergasted when there were actually people shocked that the disgusting, insane, pink-haired monster didn't actually want Naruto's D.

No, my Naruto/Ino ship must rule over all others

 

[zedreamcast]

I don't think it is.

I was in that thread and it was really just 1 guy that made that fall to shit.

 

[Seda]

or in other words, the show is doing the shipping for you so you dont have to

any ways, laughing man

 

[Morlas]

Yeah. I always thought so.

especially considering

Spoiler

Sakura's love for Sasuke is confirmed and reconfirmed multiple times during the final arc

 

[Man God]

This is dope.

man i miss black lagoon

I mean yeah. I don't ship, but some characters are obvious. Like Ymir and Christa in AoT, or Revvy and Rock in Black Lagoon. At some point, it's not even shipping, and more making logical inferences based on super obvious context.

Shipping is something that can generally happen when there's a love-triangle or a harem or whatever. It's definitely justified in those situations, but here it's less shipping and more "can you read properly."

 

[Seda]

Black Lagoon is still probably my favorite show that Toonami has aired.

 

[Akainu]

Still the least bad ninja village. Cloud would be but they have some...hangups.

racist/s

 

[B-Dubs]

Black Lagoon is still probably my favorite show that Toonami has aired.

It's definitely my top 3 for sure, if not my #1.
