A soft spot for big brother
I like the idea that Denji has such bad luck with girls just fucking starts going for dudes. And Yoshida is perfect candidate for him.
OK LIKE WTF!!! They need to drop this deleted scene as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i need to make this JasJas
SAKURA’S CONFESSION
Honest to god, I hate that the Sakura confession scene has been so hated. I never thought it would be so controversial.
But one take I haven’t seen and maybe I’m alone on this was that, when I first watched the scene, I honest to god that it was a test run from the authour’s side to see how fans would ACTUALLY react if Sakura did develop feelings towards Naruto.
I truly do believe even though the writer had his planned final pairings, that he still did test around with toying with the idea of different pairings like Naruto x Sakura.
Remember when Yamato during the bridge arc made a comment towards Sakura about her care towards Naruto? I think the bridge arc was when someone said in one of the databooks, Sakura was noted to be confused about her thoughts on Naruto. It was implied that she was maybe developing feelings towards him post timeskip.
As a NaruSaku shipper, I see the confession scene was the ultimate acknowledgement of the slow romantic tension that had built around the two. I know this is super subjective but still.
Anyway, during her confession, I remember she was blushing and shit, honestly I took that initially as her admitting to herself that “yeah I guess I’m saying something I kinda been feeling lately out loud and it kinda feels good”. I don’t know why so many people took her confessions as super evil and manipulative. Again, I know I’m being bias but my girl isn’t a good liar come on. When she lies, she does that closed smile thing with a voice crack.
Also, remember when Naruto rejected her confession and they started arguing about the validity of her confession and she was like “why are you telling me I’m wrong” moment. To me, that means it was more genuine and if anything she was shocked that Naruto thought she was lying.
Now, I’m not saying she didn’t have ulterior motives or anything. She of course did but I think that she honest to god was okay with “settling” with Naruto. Like at some point in early Shippuden, she started to like both of her comrades.
I know people like to sanitize the romances between the characters because it’s cleaner that way. It is messy if characters marry their partners but the story also acknowledges that they crushed on other people before then. I’ve seen people purposely not acknowledge his long term crush on Sakura because well, he’s married to Hinata but like cmon guys - let’s not do that because that is a narrative change and something you can really downplay because there are 200+ episodes of the guy liking another girl who isn’t his future wife.
Is this ninja storm 3 or 4?
Despite all efforts, Sasuke is still the one who got away in Naruto’s mind but he made peace with that fact decades ago.
What ACTUALLY happened in that scene with Cid and Clive....
Controversial? takes on anime dubs. I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin. There is a high chance comedies work better in a language I understand.
Code Geass Dub > Sub (watched the show dubbed first and didn’t care about it, rewatched it shortly after dubbed and it impacted me more)
Jujutsu Kaizen Dub > Sub (I don’t know why but the JJK sub is so ordinary to me, jokes don’t translate well/land well as much as the dub. Also really love dub Yuji)
Buddy Daddies Dub > Sub (dub Kazuki is a standout)
Seraph of the End Dub > Sub (only watched two episodes but the sub bothered me because the voices of the two main characters didn’t match so I switched over to dub and it was much better)
Sk8 Dub < Sub (I just don’t like dubbed Reki 😕)
Attack on Titan Dub < Sub (I feel like the sub is better at emotional moments that involve screaming)
Sasuke is so lucky he has these two with him. Early shippiden was metaphorically sasuke’s penis in both of their mouths because the constant glazing ruined the story. NARUTO WAS LITERALLY HOLDING THE PLOT HOSTAGE OVER A MAN.
Shippuden is a ride
Mahiru had such potential with everyone.
Confession: I think Hajime, Mahiru and Nagito have an amazing platonic chemistry and should have been the main trio in SDR2! Initially I just paired them together because they’re my top three characters in Danganronpa, but after thinking about it a bit they make so much sense to me… they struggle with similar problems but face it in different ways, it would be nice to see how their morals clash as they work together in investigations, class trials ecc ecc… they also have a lot of things in common & imo would bond over that too in someway,,, their palettes also kinda match, it’s a shame there is practically no content of them together…also imagine the comedic potential of their interactions..
