...I'm kind of feeling bad for Sakura.....

By now, we've all seen this thread:

...and here's a clearer explanation about Kishi's Sakura comments from Talk at NF:

"Originally Posted by takL View Post
kish doesnt say anything bout kaguya in the clip tho


He didn't show Sakuras family in the manga because readers wouldn't care. He believes Sakura is cute but readers disagree. Anyways He had to keep Sakura in the position of one of the 3 main charas since chap #4 that he kept trying to make her popular but to no avail. He even drew her on the model of Hollywood star photos on the vol 66 cover. The high maintenance wasn't payoff while Hinata who he didn't write much about kept gaining popularity more and more. So at some point he thought Hinata better be the heroine. If not, she should get a position close to it. that he brought her to the forefront near the end.

Neji died like a cupid for naruto and hinata. if he ever writes a series about Bolto(we all know he is writing it, plus later in the show he says he wouldn't have shown those kids for nothing), Neji will be brought up. and Orochimaru too."

....

Amazing....so instead of giving Sakura a deeper background, good story line, and better personality to make us want to care about her, Kishi tries to make her look prettier to increase her popularity?

Add that to the chasing the bad boy and forgiving his bull shi*t without him exerting any real effort to prove his love and commitment to you and on top of her deep level of love and devotion apparently not needing a reason.....and ....

....well.....

...I hope Kishi doesn't have any daughters.

*sigh*. Why would he do that. Why force a character that most people won't like into the main cast. Why not give actual effort into developing her backstory. Kishimoto, you've poured more than 15 years of your life into this, and I'll give you all the respect in the world for that. This is just bad writing, plain and simple.

Wait. So he created an extremely annoying, bratty, weak and boring fangirl that's only initial purpose was to let us know Sasuke's cool... and he doesn't know what he did wrong? And, apparently, he tries to correct that mistake... by making her prettier... at which he fails. Uh-huh...

Kishi for best writer of 2014.

Kishimoto sucks at giving interviews.

I feel like sometimes he might be an idiot, but then I'm like "Who created Naruto?"

I guess she reached the pinnacle of her development in chapter 700 what with the glossy lips, longer hair, bigger boobs, and Sarada as her trophy for having endured and finally earned Sasuke's D.

Was this kinda surprising though?

Right....sometimes I'm like, no way this is the guy who created the series that I once loved but am still attached to based on sentiment.

He isn't a good writer. I might get hate for this but I think that if Hinata was the main heroine she wouldn't do any better than Sakura. No I'm not a Hinata hater because I met neither one of them is developed well(sadly). I also not a Sakura hater because she is my favorite character but I'm sick of some of these fans doing like Hinata and Sakura are so well developed or something along that line. Kishimoto failed with the females and he also failed with romance. He had interviewers where is stated he is bad with females and a few where is say he is bad at romance than he said he though about narusaku than naruhina, than he stated narusaku was mislead and didn't studio perriot give his a script for this movie to work around with....sounds like some bad writer type stuff. How do you stated you are bad with love but you mislead fans? I'm a NaruSaku fan but I feel that if NaruSaku would have happened it would have been the same like this with bad development.

I wonder if females like Tsunade and and Konan were created by his old editor or by a stroke of luck.

I'll answer that. It was his editor [whose name I forget] who created the "NARUTO" we know today. Kishimoto's original idea was to make it about some kid who works at a ramen shop. But his editor, who was with him from the beginning up until the end of the Itachi pursuit arc, told him he's a ****ing idiot and suggested he write about Ninjas. His editor would even have multi-hour long debates with him in order to explain how ****ing stupid his ideas are and how he should change or alter them.

The difference between a true writer/story teller and a simple mangaka. What I would give to have his original editor back working with him to fix the latter part of the war arc.

Agree....the issue is KISHI....he would've destroyed anyone who became the heroine. Anyone he spends a lot of time on ends up being ruined.....that's why I dread him doing anything with Sasuke in part 3 other than have him appear at key moments and then disappear.....Kishi cannot be trusted to develop any character without overly wanking them and making them bland, boring, and predicatable (like Naruto), making them corny or annoying, or contradicting the story themes somehow.

SMDH.

He admitted that Hinata was his favourite female character in one of his recent interviews. It's definitive.
