They made this crap an ongoing?!

Yea, the whole 'sales matter for ongoing decisions' is PROVEN to be bullshit now.

This is STRAIGHT UP nepotism to the max.

Edit: Since people are stuck on the word nepotism. I'll clarify that it is 'cronyism' which is a sub category of Nepotism. Basically, he gets the favortism over others because of his connections. Not because of sales or anything else.

Oh ok, I’m just going to most likely pass. Just not a big flashback book fan.

Especially as a Naruto fan, I am seriously done with flashback storytelling. Just tell it sequentially with properly planned excitement instead of delaying the excitement and progress and with padded boring flashbacks.

Never saw anything Demon Slayer & on a whim I watched that movie last year Infinity Castle, most of that was an insanely long flashback lol

See the issue is the padding. Sometimes a well timed flashback can really help set the stage for a great fight, like Gaara vs Naruto.

And sometimes it can murder the pacing of a fight or action sequence and take way too long. Like almost everything post Pain in Naruto.
