It was decided in the first meeting that this would be a romance movie instead of an action movie after it was requested that the main character would be Naruto instead of a guest character. They decided that romance was what Naruto was lacking.
After the scarf idea was introduced, they came up with the scene where Naruto and Hinata are running through the space with all of their memories together in the glowing bubbles, and then came up with a story that would tie to that scene.
He talks about the visuals for this movie being different from those of previous Naruto movies. He also mentions that the scene where Naruto confesses to Hinata has a color scheme like a Gogh painting, specifically mentioning the blue spring and the glowing golden butterflies. (I think he's referring to "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh, with those colors.)
Mentions the flashbacks in the genjutsu scene where Naruto finally realizes Hinata's feelings to be in non-chronological order like a puzzle... though he doesn't say anything about it that wouldn't be evident from watching.
Toneri was initially going to have an image like Johnny Depp as "Scissorhands." (Lol.) Says that because Toneri lived by himself on the moon since he was a kid and can't understand the feelings of others, he lacks romance for reasons different from Naruto's.
Confirms again that Kishimoto checked the scenario, gave them advice, and came up with some of the important lines.


* Naruto being inexperienced in love (he says Naruto has a“Love Deviation”of 30 points lol~ I should probably explain this expression for you guys later?…)

* The love triangle of Naruto+ Hinata +Toneri

* How Naruto’s love flared up because Toneri appeared as a handsome rival

* Since Toneri grew up isolated by only puppets, he didn’t have much experience or the chance to relate to people. So he was raised with a“独善的”(self-righteous) personality.

* Talks again about why Hinata initially rejected Naruto’s confession

* Highlights of the movie (from the scriptwriter’s perspective) include the battle and confession scene.

* Viewers have never seen this side of Naruto before, who’s fallen to the very bottom and became a bit effeminate and shameful (pitiful).

* Screen writer says for viewers not to miss out on the part where Naruto gets an encouraging peptalk from his friends, picks himself back up from the bottom., and then noticeably grows up into an adult.

ugh...they kill more and more of Naruto's character with each 'enlightening' interview-_- (isn't this the same crap with chasing Sakura because of Sasuke?)

OP has the sources attributed wrong.

That first chunk is not written by OrganicDinosaur. It's by Eriko on NF (honyakusha - eri on tumblr). She's a different translator who's also doing these pages.

The first is the director's commentary, but the second part that you pasted is from the excerpt from the comments of the script writer. They're two different people.

OrganicDinosaur posted a much longer summary on reddit already of her translation, both both the director and screenwriter. This was probably an older version. It's on NF with her complete version, same as what's mirrored on reddit.

People are going to go nuts over it. The screenwriter said that NaruHina was the best couple.

Where can i find the source for the longer summary then?

That has always been how Naruto worked isn't it? It doesn't change anything about him, it's nothing new. Rivalry motivates him. Oh wait, we already knew that. Sakura knows it. Naruto liked her because of his rivalry with Sasuke. Naruto started chasing Hinata when a rival for her appeared. It worked out for him the second time because that time it was a girl who actually liked him back.

And it only works when the rival is good-looking and powerful. This is why someone like Ino never entered his sights; because Sai is not as good-looking as Sasuke and he could easily kick his ass. Or Tenten for the same reason. Whether those would have been reciprocated is a different story. I have no idea, maybe Ino.

Here's OrganicDinosaur's work, and she added links to all the other sources, including her own NF post and others'.

Well...it's kinda bull. Exactly how many girls fangirled over Sasuke while Naruto was at the academy again? As a matter of fact, wasn't Ino one of the girls who liked Sasuke?

and also the character actually covered why he liked the other one in the Manga itself...and it was some acknowledgement crap. But that reflected better on his character than this jealous brat angle.
