#a!aaaaaa!aaaaa welcome aboard this is a space where you can rant about your bad shonen series of choice

I was the anon that sent Naruto as a prompt and honestly? Dude same! Like I watched the series when I was eleven so a lot of stuff went over my head so this rewatch has been a really interesting experience because I Understand Now.

But same! I was never really bothered by the ships on my first watch except for Shikatema, I dunno why, I just adored both of them and desperately wanted them to end up together and you know damn well I celebrated when I read the final chapter 😆 But I agree so hard about Blank Period Temari! Like wtf why is she a blushing maiden now?? Her whole thing is that she's a warrior and honestly the toughest out of her family!

And omg Rin... Ngl, I am so mentally ill about Rin. That sweet girl deserved so much better... I wish we could seen more of her as a jinchuuriki, that would have been so badass. But she is genuinely one of those characters that if I think about them for too long, I start crying.

But y'know a ship that surprised me? Saiino. Like on my first watch through, I thought "Huh, yeah, they're kinda cute" and didn't think much else of it. But on this rewatch, they're actually really sweet??? And it's lovely seeing Sai so comfortable around someone (Sai is such an overhated character imo, like he's amazing, you guys are just mean) Plus, in Boruto, they're actually one of the more... Healthy??? Relationships? I dunno if healthy is the right word but they're the couple you see acting like a couple the most?

I am so so so sorry for sending a goddamn essay but I've never really had anyone to talk to about Naruto before so it's a little exciting to see someone else getting back into it! Especially since they announced they're working on some new projects for the anniversary!!

Oh my god not new projects let them REST

But OH MY GOD. YES. Shikatema was SO good but then?? TEMARI??? It's like. It's like they think "a woman in love" is a personality. Like there's only one way to act. No wtf who is that and what did she do to my mean bitch

Rin deserved SO much better I wanted to see more of their team 😭😭 Need to go back and watch the fillers I think there was something there.

INOSAI GRABBED MY BY THE BALLS WHEN IT HAPPENED WHAT THE FUCK. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FANON THING. NEVER SAW IT COMING. But their short segment in naruhina's wedding was cute, I give them that. Glad to hear they're doing well in Boruto 🥺 I believe I can make an educated guess on how most relationships are written in it lolll
