![]() I like reading and/or reviewing more than writing,plus have a severe lack of free time,though if inspiration strikes me,I may get around to making a story or two... currently,I like reading Bleach (anime/manga) stories... I'm currently finished with both the anime and manga for this series...The manga ending is the better of the two versions (the anime just kind of ...stops,though to the anime studio's credit,they at least hinted at the two endgame pairings...Honestly,I would love to see the final arc animated,though it seems pretty unlikely with Bleach's declining popularity)...Though I have some minor annoyances with the manga finale (mostly questions about certain characters fates,like Grimmjow,Urahara,Yoruichi,Isshin,and Ryuuken),given that Kubo was rushed to finish it,I think he did the best he could with the chapters he had... While I expected it to happen to some degree,I 'm still appalled by the reaction of the IchiRuki fandom when the pairing got sunk. Honestly,you guys have noone to blame but yourselves for seeing a confirmed platonic relationship as romantic (Kubo directly stated their relationship wasn't romantic 8 years ago!!!)...Just because a relationship is popular,doesn't mean the author HAS to make it romantic to please the majority (again,as Kubo said,it's his story,and he has the right to tell it his way ...It's honestly pathetic how entitled some fans are) ...Also,if you think either Ichigo or Rukia would cheat on their spouses with each other,you seriously need to reread the manga,they're not horrible people who would marry someone they don't care about,and cause their families pain... Just because you're unhappy they didn't end up together,that doesn't mean they are... It also bugs me that people are trying to erase Kazui and Ichika's true parentage ..Kazui is clearly Ichigo and Orihime's son,yes,he looks somewhat like the younger Ichigo,but he has Orihime's eyes(I think people who saw the anime first miss that manga Orihime is brown eyed) and facial expressions ...Ichika is very clearly Rukia's daughter with Renji ..She has her father's hair,and her mother's eyes,and her facial expressions look simlar to Renji's... Fave Pairings... (SPOILERS FOR THE FINAL CHAPTER BELOW!!!) Renji X Rukia (Bleach OTP,it's so sweet how devoted he is to her,and it's obvious he means alot to her as well...I am severely disappointed by the lack of fans of this pairing who aren't multi-shippers,seriously,do you people hate Renji that much?...Noone else in the series needs Rukia the way he does...She is the center of his world,the reason he is where he is today...What's the point of having him do everything he can for her only to lose her love to someone else?..My personal opinion on the matter is that if Kubo didn't want to make this pairing canon,he should've just killed Renji off in the fight with Byakuya in the Soul Society arc...Without Rukia,he doesn't really have a purpose in the story,he's only training to become stronger for her sake after all)...I am so,so happy with chapter 473 of the manga (Byakuya comes back from the fight zone with Rukia and Renji calls out her name when he sees she's being carried by Byakuya,and then Byakuya gives Rukia to Renji to take care of,since she's passed out at the moment...Byakuya seems to understand how important Rukia is to Renji,even if most of the Bleach fandom doesn't)...Also,chapter 475 has a cute scene between them as well (Rukia wakes up,with Renji panicking and asking if she hurts anywhere,and she says her right shoulder is hurting right now (he's squeezing her there)...The Fade to Black movie was mostly a waste of time for me(I can't even enjoy IchiRuki as a platonic relationship due to all the jerks in this fandom),but I did like that it was mentioned that the person who has always been closest to Rukia is Renji (and by Ichigo,no less!)...I am so happy they're canon,and have a daughter!!! (Strangely enough,this is the exact ending I wanted for them,but after chapter 685,I thought their relationship would be implied at best...I have never been so happy to be wrong!!!)... Ichika's really cute,she looks more like Rukia,but she has Renji's hair.. Ichigo X Orihime (there's just so much to love about this pairing)...Yes,at this point it can only be proven to be one-sided on Orihime's part,but I think it's really,really obvious that Ichigo loves her too (his reaction to her being gone in the HM arc as well as to Ulquiorra when he reveals he kidnapped her,plus when he comes back as a Hollow to protect Orihime after just hearing her voice)...and I just find Orihime's "Five Lifetimes,One Love" speech so beautiful (one of my favorite romance moments in all of anime/manga...Thankfully,Studio Pierrot didn't ruin this in the anime)...The current "Fullbring" arc has many moments between them as well,the most significant so far being Orihime being able to realize that something's wrong with her memories(Tsukushima manipulated them so that he was the most important person in her life,taking the place of her brother,Sora,and downplaying Ichigo's importance) because Ichigo is so upset...Interestingly enough,Kubo recently had a moment between them that rather heavily implied that yes,Ichigo is indeed attracted to Orihime(Orihime gets tricked into wearing a revealing outfit by Urahara, who tells her "if you wear this,you'll make Ichigo very happy!",Chad,who witnessed this,asks Ichigo his opinion of her outfit,and he stammers that he thinks it's a little too revealing,while blushing all over his entire face(the most extreme reaction he's ever had to the opposite sex)...like RenRuki,they're canon at the end of Bleach,but they have a son...(like many IchiHime fans,I got really sick of people saying we were stupid/delusional/lacked reading comprehension because we shipped it,well,looks like we were right all along!!!)...Kazui's a cute kid,he looks sort of like the young Ichigo,but he has Orihime's eyes (I think if the final arc got animated,he's be gray eyed,like anime Orihime)... Ishida X Nemu (probably just wishful thinking on my part,but I think they'd be a good couple),Sadly,this one got sunk,but at least my two favorite Bleach pairings are canon... |
