I disagree with your assessment of Sakura as a character. Actually, I think Kishimoto has done quite well with giving her depth.

"I use to hate her, but not out right bash her."

...Until now it appears. -_-

Sakura haters bug the hell outta me. The whole "useless" argument has been done to death and quite frankly, anyone who actually notices Sakura's character development can tell that it isn't true in the slightest. After she cuts her hair she becomes very "useful", but even BEFORE that she did her part on the team (defending that old dude from the Land of Waves, etc.)

And I never hated her even with long hair. Yes she was annoying, but so were Naruto and Sasuke in their own ways. Sakura getting singled out just because she's the girl seems sexist to me.

I wasn't fond of them then either. I honestly only liked Kakashi. So, that didn't help.

and also cause she has big boobs.

Hm, I've always thought she was flat, lol.

Sakura is my favorite character, and I have seen her bashed so much it makes me go into a murderous rampage. She has had the most character development of anytone in the series. I have always liked her, because I've always seen the potential she had/has. And the boys hanging out with her because of her breasts? She freakin' flat-chested in Part one, and barely has had any development in that area in Part two--how can that be a reason for them to like her? Argh, I can go on for hours on why she is amazing, but I can't see very well right now without glasses. ^_^;;

I fail to see how Sakura can be a mental house. Does that mean she's the one who cares for the mentally ill characters in the anime? As for Ino's comment on her growing into a beautiful flower... Does that make InoSaku (or is it SakuIno?) canon?
