What if Sasuke and Sakura were replaced with Shikamaru and Hinata.
Series would've probably ended up much better?

Sasuke ruined Naruto, as a series. I will never stop thinking this.
What if Sasuke and Sakura were replaced with Shikamaru and Hinata.
even just replacing Sakura with Hinata would make the series better for the direction it ends up going in the end

Turns out there was a pebble in Nagato's shoe all along. Time for Ghost in the Shell.
I was gonna say this. The series would've been way better this way.What if Sasuke and Sakura were replaced with Shikamaru and Hinata.
Like, come on, HInata even had a specific character arc, motivation, and backstory. She could've been infinitely more interesting than Sakura.
And having Shikamaru be the brains of the group and an actual friend, that'd be so much better. He even fills the "cool guy" role better than Sasuke.

they even have way more interesting abilities that can be more creatively applied!
LustWhat is Sakura's story arc?
What is Sakura's story arc?
She REALLY likes Sasuke, ok?
I'm debating whether or not Outlaw Star should get bold episode titles or not. I generally don't use bolds for returning Adult Swim series, but this is going to be an unedited version of the show that has technically never aired before, and I DID use bolds for the very brief 5 episode run of Cowboy Bebop HD.
What is Sakura's story arc?
She crushes on Sasuke and wants him to notice her.
What is Sakura's story arc?
To love Sasuke, that her character in Naruto, cause it ain't keeping up with N & S.

Jumping Uchiha bones. Thats legit it. Kishi tried to also add some "I wanna become strong so no one needs to protect me" arc. But it just came out as "I want to become strong so sasuke will notice me."

I guess it depends on how edited the original run was?
That said I'm looking forward to it.

Did you bold GitS, which was also an HD worldwide premier?
If not, I don't see why this would be different. Isn't this HD as well?
So I can't really explain why but this episode feels extremely weird. Even more weird than usual. Like, none of the components are coming together. Fitting square pegs in triangle holes. People are talking but aren't saying anything.
It feels like Kishimoto didn't know where he was going with this, and when Naruto is struggling to find an answer it's Kishi struggling to write himself out of a hole. This is a basic theme of Shippuden in addition to constant retcons.

yeah Hinata wants to be strong for a guy too, but at least she also tries to have a relationship with her family
I feel like becoming stronger was less for Naruto and more for herself. At first I don't think she really cared if Naruto noticed her or not. She just liked seeing him.

I did not. Ghost in the Shell's content has been identical to previous runs, though, which is clearly not the case with Outlaw Star, even from the promo.

Holy shit.
I didn't realize it was possible but I hate Sasuke and Sakura even more now that this is an idea I've seen.

Hmm. Either way you do it could be seen as a bit inconsistent, depending. It doesn't really matter either way though. Just do what you think works best : )

no it's pretty obvious she's liked him for a long time
I still see a flash of Naruto's reaction to Hinata's "I love you". The potential.........I feel like becoming stronger was less for Naruto and more for herself. At first I don't think she really cared if Naruto noticed her or not. She just liked seeing him.
Like.......fffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Preaching to the choir.
togusa then became a tv critic & started his own youtube review series"Time to get a job."

I'm not saying that, she obviously did, i just think that she didn't care if he liked her back. She just loved him.
also this is official art that just came out
Yeah, this is something else.This is such a cool way to end a season. Most other shows would've had the whole episode be some huge action sequence, and I appreciate GitS bucking the trend.

Didn't Togusa and his family used to live in a small apartment? How can he afford a house now that he has no job.

Speaking of which: Sakura has a mom and dad and entire family that never show up or get mentioned because of how little she matters.yeah Hinata wants to be strong for a guy too, but at least she also tries to have a relationship with her family

Being put up by his company somewhere fancy to make it look like things are normal. Presumably he goes home as normal at night.Didn't Togusa and his family used to live in a small apartment? How can he afford a house now that he has no job.
