current mood: irritated
After the cracky glory of Shippuden 115, episode 116 just feels like a confusing, conflicting jumble of things that fail and things that should win but are overtaken by the fail.
The Story of Shippuden 116:
Animator 1: I love Karin! I feel that she is badass and awesome and this episode should reflect that badassery and awesomeness!
Animator 2: STFU HOR, KARIN IS TEH LAME AND SHE SHUD GET HER HOR HANDS OFF SASUKE BLARRRR
Animator 3: Karin and Sasuke are destined lurve and I AM GOING TO SHIP THEM LIKE MAD, NEVER MIND HER CHARACTERIZATION.
Guy in charge of all the Animators: Well....since I don't feel that being CONSISTENT is important, I'm just going to divvy up this episode into thirds and give one third to each of you.
Seriously.
First third of episode: KARIN IS BETTER THAN EVERYBODY, BETCHEZ.
Second third of episode: KARIN IS SO ANNOYING, DON'T YOU HATE HER?
Final third of episode: KARIN AND SASUKE, SITTIN IN A TREE~ EXCEPT SASUKE JUST NEEDS MORE TIME TO DISCOVER HIS LOOOOOVE SO FOR NOW IT IS PAINFULLY ONE-SIDED, LA LA~
I am upset because for eight minutes Karin was SO AWESOME, and then they were like, "SCREW IT, WHO ARE WE KIDDING? THE FANDOM HATES HER, LET'S JUST GIVE THEM MORE AMMO." TT_TT
but but but aksdlsj they are so cute, too, and I want to ship them so bad, but not if it ruins Karin's character, s-sob ;A; ;A;
