Lel, Kishi accomplished his goal too well. He wanted to make Sakura a normal child that symbolizes human weakness. Why would anyone be interested in that in a manga about ninjas, let alone want to identify as that?

If anything it was everyone else's fault, for expecting too much out of her.

@bold: No not really since you should be allowed to have expectations over a certain character that has every opportunity to succeed given the screen time.

You know...that would explain why I've seen little to nill assertive,realistic, females in anime. The only few I've ever seen were integra from hellsing and hellsing ultimate


You must be registered for see images


and Tsunade


=l


I'm aware that this will sound like a rant at first..but hear me out. It's aggravating because those of us that are aggressive, analytical, stoic, logical, and have thin patience for BS don't really identify with a lot of the female characters in anime. Honestly..based on what you've described I have a difficult time believing anyone who doesn't subscribe to gender identity would be able to relate to any of the female characters in anime. It would also explain why a lot of people in western culture may find it more difficult to become engaged in anime as opposed to more western comics. It's more about a chasm in the value and belief system regarding gender as a concept.

Yeah - I read shonnes more despite not being interested in certain elements, because despite lack of females characters they are often less annoying than many shojo's out there. Where they literally seem to find sexual harassment and rape situations romantic. I don't like to get a BP problem over a silly manga so I click back button as soon as realize where I landed and find something else and end up reading male oriented books more. smh

Send me minutes to the meeting you attended with Kishi to all this.

It's so lovely when people post stuff without any authenticated source.

Seriously - so much anger over manga treatment of Naruto females when I can't to see that many impressive females in most other shonnes either. Some have better fan service though with females having big boobs and revealing outfits and fight in a style to augment on those. They still get save by lead MCs sooner or later and start to fall behind as the series gets longer.

It was stated in an interview.

This is Sakura were talking about, if you understood her character at all you would have learned to curb your expectations.

You would be better off hoping for Lee to use Ninjutsu than for Sakura to act above her character.

I did not have much hope for her character. Just had complete indifference with it. She impressed me in the Sasori fight but after that it went downhill. I still think she should have been a far better heroin and handled a lot better. Kishi completely shitted on her character.

Ugh...really??? Isn't it bad enough that shojo's generally only revolve around romance and giggling, and rainbows and butterflys and shit? Well...I know I'll be sticking to shounen..it seems like sexual harassment and rape are at least discouraged and penalized.

The surprise Kishi has been showing on Sakura's popularity or questions regrading her tells me not only he doesn't get female characters that well his editors and the anime studio deliberately pushed Hinata ahead to give a nod to cultural traditions and standards.

Traditionalists who want devoted wives and want to encourage the conservative values to an extent. They have had quite a restricted culture in many terms and all the females characters in the end fit in those very roles. Even Tenten - I maybe wrong since I don't live in Japan but net articles say women often prefer to be housewife with a part time job or start their own business because after a certain stage they practically have negligible chances of promotion or any advancement in jobs.

Anyway one can only hope Sarada , Himawari and other next gen females get better treatment and Kishi uses his relatively free time in seeing the world enough to learn how girls are and probably in slightly better position to argue with his editors after finishing his first venture successfully.

Being shy and letting editors and anime studios push yourself around too much doesn't help when you are not that good at writing certain type of characters in the first place. They will screw your ideas too and replace it with fragmented fan service pieces.

It's annoying truth that a lot of shojo out there is as bad in handling female characters and keeps feeding silly female sterotypes. Or Japanese idea of romance is very awkward for me.

How is hinata cultural standards just because she's shy? Well she's shy because of the mental pain her family caused her. No wonder you keep deleting my threads

hm, Probably because they are tired of pointless hate spam and negative jokes repeated a bit too many times? :p

For example I'm still waiting for Lady Bayakugan to share that 16 hour official video of Kishi's meeting with his editor over the manga where they decided the whole concept and story line.

It was stated in an interview.

And I am suppose to accept your statement as a fact because? I asked for an authentic source which certainly aren't you.

If they are as ignorant and pointless as this post you just made it's no wonder indeed. Please keep to the thread topic and if you think I am the one removing your treads and because of some personal reason please send a PM to Zise the head admin. Next such post in forum will get you serious infractions. If You have something to say personally to me -again use a PM.

How did the editors and anime team push Hinata? She's popular despite her limited screen time.

I think the problem with Sakura was that there weren't to many ideas one could take with her and make it work.

Problems with parents/family? Get in line.
Bad childhood? Get in line.
Underdog storyline? Get WAAAY back in the line.

Sakura was just a regular girl with a regular life. Kishimoto tried to do something with her relationship with Sauske, but honestly, no one really cares about any character in Naruto have girlfriend/boyfriend troubles. This isn't a slice-of-life, it's an action story. The reason Hinata got so much attention was because she is an underdog with the immense pressure of being the heir to the clan. Her story is something a lot of people can sympathize with, but who is gonna sympathize with someone who lives an ordinary life and whose only problems in life revolve around crushes? Very few people unless the show is geared toward that domestic life.

You must have had high hopes for her character, what did you want her to do, solo Obito? Defeat Madara and Kaguya?

No to have more fights than she did with Sasori. Also knowing her background more. Giving her a character development arc etc.

You must be very shallow minded if you think she would need to beat those people to be a better character.

Is Kushina a good female character? Since we're going for broke now, let throw her under the bus as well. U_U

Yes she is

-Wasn't a rabid fangirl unlike her
-Actually wanted something in her life (hokage) other than simply get with a hot boy
-Didn't take shit from anyone and stood up for her and beat anyone who teased her unlike her
-Fought along side Minato
-Helped him become hokage and taught him seals
-Even till the end of her life helped him and protected her son and not forgetting to breath
-Continues to influence Naruto's mind and puts him on the right track even after death

Kishi didnt put a lot of effort in her design too, No big boobs or very revealing clothes, very low screen time compared to sakura, still better character

How is my post ignorant? Your insulting members on the base reported.
P.s. I'll just keep on making alternate accounts. If I'm going to make scary NaruSaku fans let me!
