I'm wondering if they'll air the two bonus episodes, both Rebecca ones. One is Venice of the Dead, involving Lupin and Rebecca versus Zombies. The other is a flashback one before their marriage, when Lupin first identifies Rebecca and implements his first plan to try and meet her.

Before Goemon's focal, we'll have Fujiko as said, a Zenigata episode, more Rebecca, and more with The Italian Dream and Nix.

[[up]up][up][up] That's this one? Hyped to see it!

Naruto and Hinata is a ship I got strong behind from teenage years and I still stand by liking it. While not flawless, it met enough of my standards and tastes that I was fully into it. Enough so I had 3 things I wanted for Naruto's ending and it was one of the 3. Naruto becomes hokage, Hinata and him get together, and Sasuke dies.

[up][up][up] Figuratively speaking, yes, he did.

[up] If it's not this episode, it has to be the next. Which also means we're close to the infamous Looney Tunes moment.

I hear you there. I'm not a hardcore shipper, but I was definitely rooting for Naruto/Hinata as endgame. So were the anime staff, given how Hinata's big moment was significantly expanded from the manga.

No, not Pa! sad

@Slim Agreed. I do like the justification that Naruto just really didn't get it at the time since he has so little experience with the different kinds of love given how he grew up.

@ slim: If we're talking anime, nothing that I know of currently. (But I'm out of the loop there, so don't take my word as gospel.) He's more involved in cartoons and video games (and mocap) these days, I believe. Might be a union-only actor at present, which would explain things.

[up][up] I think he's currently voicing a character on the current Transformer's cartoon.

[up][up][up][up] Still ya think he could have learned as he grew older. What no one ever told him about this shit?

Ya know for all this complex talk of war & peace its pretty sad the series takes a very immature stance towards it at the end.

@ Mizerous: Aww, looks like we'll have to wait until next week.

@ slim: True, but having a stunted emotional development (and thus not fully understanding the concept of romantic love) also wouldn't exactly be uncommon if one grew up in Naruto's circumstances (or worse).

Being told and actually experiencing it are two different things. Plus given how shit he was treated for so long, it's something I can buy him not truly understanding as an experience. I mean, hell, there's many people who suck at that stuff who don't go through his terrible background.

As much as I hate the Oblivious to Love trope in Shonen, since it's nothing more than authors being squeamish about writing romance, with Naruto at least it makes sense and is played for drama instead of more tired Idiot Hero naivete, which is not an interesting or compelling character flaw and never has been. Just my personal opinion, but to be honest with you, I'm always right.

I get ya still though I realize its kinda weak he never really realized his feelings for Hinata himself & needed a damn magical trap to literally force him to realize it. Would have been more romantic if he came to the conclusion himself without such forceful outside intrusions.

[up][up][up][up] On what specifically?

To be fair, the magical trap pretty much just amounted to Naruto viewing past memories from an outside perspective, both his and Hinata's, and it also only really served as the catalyst to get him to understand all these emotions.
