She deserves far more than Boruto and his "meh" attitude. She's a lot of fun.<br /><br />I suppose Kishimoto made Chapter 700 the way it was because he wanted to set up the kids more than he wanted to spend all the time on just Naruto's family which is fair I suppose. And we still saw Hokage Naruto, which is cool. Personally, I'd have probably made the chapter be about Naruto's ceremony to become Hokage but I'm not a manga writer... Hopefully one day though.Shigginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256099093521615360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926295868515831102.post-82044171599386700732015-10-01T10:41:13.852-07:002015-10-01T10:41:13.852-07:00i read that and thought it was pretty good. got to...i read that and thought it was pretty good. got to see how the uzumaki fmaily typically interacts. i liked how Himawari for the most part is well behaved and sweet and it was also good to see how even Bolt and Himawari have their little moments of quarreling. to my surprise despite the Byakugan it was great to see Kushina's legacy got passed on to her granddaughter. it still remains a mystery but still the fact she took out Naruto with an advanced strike from the gentle fist in one shot no less is a feat no one has accomplished. not even Sasuke lol anyway a lot of that chapter made me wish there was focus on Himawari since from all that alone suggests her potential already stands to surpass her whole family. if there is another continuation or spin off of Naruto i hope to see Himawari as the main focus this time.<br /><br />onething that bothers me is why wasn't that set as chapter 700 and the one we got as chapter 700 be set as the epilogue for the manga? just seems kind of weird to skip over that expecially since that's what Naruto has been working toward.Fu-reijihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984444332565283115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926295868515831102.post-80521597610228550382015-09-28T09:24:54.725-07:002015-09-28T09:24:54.725-07:00Yeah, people have told me that Kishimoto is awkwar...Yeah, people have told me that Kishimoto is awkward about romances, but I'm not entirely sure to believe it because the internet spreads so many rumours about that series. (Granted, this is more believable than some). <br /><br />For me, Sarada is easily one of the best Naruto characters, and the best female character. As for Orochimaru, I feel like there is a backstory there that isn't fully well-explained, that the sequel to the newest Boruto movie might address. Maybe they had to make a truce with him for some reason, I honestly don't know. Feels like a major plothole right now. I love Orochimaru though so I'm not too upset with it. For all we know, they just realise they don't have a chance against him so they keep their distance and try to be civil.<br /><br />Yeah, the Uchiha Clan drama has been beaten to death for far too long now, but I didn't mind not knowing about the other kids too much since half of them don't really interest me. Especially Boruto. I hear he's a bit better in the movie, but he's honestly annoying any other time. As for Himawari, she is vastly more interesting. If you don't believe me, check out the special chapter that was released where she releases her Byakugan. It's hilarious, and makes me wish she'd had a lot more time.

He still has to account for his sins and all that. i think you get what i am saying in that area. oddly enough i was expecting gaiden to be a little more focused on all the kids to give us a better idea of what they're like not another mess of uchiha clan stuff that i'm sure we had more than enough of and get the gist of what their problem was you know. ironically enough with all the talk of Bolt who didn't appear much in the gaiden manga everyone wanted to see more of himawari. i did too actually since it looked more like she has more potential as a MC or what do you think?Fu-reijihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984444332565283115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926295868515831102.post-44118157720154552042015-09-27T08:52:05.521-07:002015-09-27T08:52:05.521-07:00Yeah, I do agree with what you say. It'd have ...Yeah, I do agree with what you say. It'd have been somewhat interesting to deal with more supernatural beings from the beginning, which would have made Kaguya feel less hammered in. <br /><br />To be honest, I wouldn't mind that Sakura has no real trauma in her past if it had been used or talked about in some way. Sakura as a whole was never fully used in a way she deserved, and ended up becoming a character who didn't deserve usage. I'm not typically a "hater" of characters, but Kishimoto tried really hard to make me dislike Sakura. Her role as lead heroine felt very unimportant, except for a few moments of healing. I found her development lacking.<br /><br />Many of the characters are great and Hinata is no exception. Her lack of focus is actually extremely odd, because we know Kishimoto can do romance (look at Minato & Kushina), and his arc about Shikamaru was one of the best. It's an odd choice to not have Hinata either develop her backstory with her bloodline, or develop her romantically until The Last. I personally liked the ending of Naruto a bit, but I felt it lacked the impact because it was so romance-centered, but none of the romances were truly looked at.<br /><br />Never worry about replying to my thoughts and reviews. Always great to have someone come over and give their opinion. I wish more would. And thank you so much! It's nice to have a new one to watch my every move!Shigginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256099093521615360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926295868515831102.post-25682191778840603422015-09-25T07:59:54.559-07:002015-09-25T07:59:54.559-07:00man how did i miss this review. anyway a lot of wh...man how did i miss this review. anyway a lot of what you said i can easily agree with. Kaguya did feel very last minute. she could have been more memorable had she been executed more effectively you know. the fact that an actual supposed fallen goddess appears is one of those elements missing in Naruto since all we had for supernatural beings that Ninja's supposedly deal with were the Bijuu and it made me wonder where are all the other fallen gods and demons that they supposedly sealed decades or hundreds of years ago.<br /><br />my main issue with Sakura is that well she wasn't really handled in a way i would expect a female lead or "strong female character" to be in a shonen jump series. i know people want to point out her skills in medical jutsu which i already acknowledge but it's not the same thing as providing what a lead heroine is typically expected to provide for the story. her lack of background or anything traumatizing really didn't make her fit in with problems naruto and sasuke had. just felt more like she was suit to be one of the side characters with the way kishimoto handled her. <br /><br />with Hinata while i am a NaruHina fanboy and i do love Hinata to death the fact that she was put on the side bothers me a lot but mostly due to how no matter how i look at things i feel like there should have been something of a hyuga arc to cover more on that background especially since Kaguya is the mother ancestor to Uchiha, Hyuga, and Senju if i recall that correctly. maybe then a lot of what happened would make a lot more sense. The Last Naruto the Movie is great and i loved it but i do feel bothered that Kishimoto's personal preferences on teh concept of a couple dating did some damage to how Naruto and Hinata developed in the Manga. it just felt more like Hinata regressed back a bit and Naruto didn't learn anything from her confession, holding her hand after she got him back on his feet when Obito killed Neji, or even after meeting Kushina. it would've at least made more sense if they became closer friends in the Last so as to give Naruto time(albeit a lot of time) to understand his feelings on Hinata more. well i'll stop there cause i think that's just gonna turn into another article of sorts.<br /><br />well i hope my reply to your review was okay and isn't a problem for you. i would like to hear your response to this too if you could reply. hopefully the reply let's my Gmail know you replied. anyway you're reviews are pretty great, nothing biased and there's lots of truth in what you say buddy. i'll be sure to watch oyu on Tumblr.Fu-reijihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984444332565283115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926295868515831102.post-88672815049751050252015-03-17T06:32:02.577-07:002015-03-17T06:32:02.577-07:00THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAISE!!!

And as a reader, I love me some good development and closure.<br /><br />Finally! Somebody else who openly loves Obito!

I would have liked Kishimoto to put it in the manga. That being said, maybe the film does help. I'm not sure yet.<br /><br />We probably will once we see it. I've not found any links to a good subbed version yet.Shigginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256099093521615360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926295868515831102.post-2748963413820296842015-03-16T20:53:05.271-07:002015-03-16T20:53:05.271-07:00Good points all around, especially the one on team...Good points all around, especially the one on team Kurenai. Kaguya was a pain, but I admittedly liked the war thanks to all the twists and turns.<br /><br />But if I may make a point, perhaps you ought to hold off on the romance aspect of Naruto. Naruto's relationship does get some expansion in The Last (I haven't seen it yet, or know what happens, but it seems like a lot of people liked it based on reviews) so perhaps we ought to hold off on judging the romance aspect until the movie has been factored in? It might put the ending in better context as well. <br /><br />Just my opinion though. <br /><br />PS: Are you guys going to do a review for the movie?

I loved Obito, and Madra was a perfect final villain to me, so seeing a random character pop up out of the blue just caught me off guard in the worst way.<br /><br />But anyways, before I say something I regret (which I probably already have), thanks again for this article!reginaldhanzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329849811054243768noreply@blogger.com
