I watched the arc with no context and it was the most depressing thing I’ve seen in a while. I remember little Sasuke and Sakura doing their shenanigans in OG Naruto to randomly see a flash forward to a shotgun wedding, daddy issues and single mother/deadbeat father tropes. It’s so weird and not the happily ever after I thought the series would have as someone who hasn’t seen all of the episodes.
I’m sorry but this is so bad. Boruto makes me sad for both Sakura and Sasuke tbh. It makes Sakura look super desperate and Sasuke just doesn’t act like he loves her. They don’t have enough organic chemistry. It’s so mood dampening and reads like a bad fanfic.
This is an old throwback to that one frame during their first final valley fight. The one the animators kept redrawing for some reason.
Anyway looking at Naruto’s expression, I can tell that all those years/episodes of putting his life/goals at the time on hold and most importantly the potential world building, plot, konoha 12 and almost everything part 1/classic Naruto set up hostage JUST so Naruto can chase his man was worth ALL the pain and hardships - that him and the viewers both endured over 15 years.
Despite some “opinions” that perhaps obsessing and chasing a guy who publicly was too proud to admit he was Naruto’s friend, may not had been worth the countless tears and blood shed, Naruto doesn’t give a fuck and clearly feels so giddy and euphoric - because at the end of the day, he mostly got what he wanted and that’s Sasuke with him.
Naruto’s new official art?!?!?
WOAH
I think the stage play did a decent job of adapting this two :)
Also really like the costuming too.
Persona 5/R both failed it’s central theme. It’s literally wearing the aesthetic of rebellion, fuck the system but not following up on it. I played royal and I cannot believe in order to get the true ending, I have to reject the antagonist.
LOLLLL

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..
Rin shows Haruka some skills he learned in the land down under~
For Ono♥♥♥♥ We both love Rin so much
His second puberty hit him hard. A completely different facial structure. Not even that, compared to his older self, his eyebrows are permanently scrunched up.

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)
