Anime~

I had to clean my parents cars today. >_> Both of them. Ick. But they paid me, so it's all good! Well, really it was that they deducted money from the >100 dollars that I owe them. But still...

That took a couple hours out of my day, but besides that I mostly just chilled on the computer... and I actually watched some episodes of Bleach for the first time! XDDD *shot*

So I watched the bridge scene (with Ichigo, Rukia, Byakuya, Yoruichi) and oh Hanatarou. XD *cuddles him* Why have I not seen more Rukia/Hanatarou stuff? He obviously has a crush on her... and Sentaro and Kiyone are even more hilarious in the anime than they are in the manga. *giggles* and asdkfl; I love Jyuu-kun in that scene so much. D: *hugs him*

And then I skipped to episode 54, which is the start of Rukia's execution. XD Yes, it was partly because that contains the big Ukitake and Shunsui scenes which admitably are my favorite in the entire series. Buuut, it wasn't just that. Rukia's execution and the aftermath I just love anyway. Everytime I read the execution scene and Rukia is thinking about her life and says "Thank you. Goodbye." I tear up.  Every time. Watching the anime was no different. *sniffles* Rukiaaaa. And I think Ichigo saving her was even more dramatic in the anime than it was in the manga. *___* ILU ICHIGOOO.

I've always had some questions about that scene, so I figured now is a perfect time to put them to my wonderful flist. XD <33

Okay, first of all is the conversation right before the execution between Shunsui and Nanao. Nanao is staring up at the scaffold, and Shunsui says "Stop looking so sad, you'll make me sad too." And Nanao goes "I'm not making this face because I'm... sad." But she doesn't clarify.
Now, I guess it could very well just be Nanao being wtf shut up I don't have emotioooons! But... she doesn't say it coldly, or sharply. She sounds more contemplative and slightly sad then any thing. I always felt like she never finished what she was trying to say.

My second question has more meat behind it. The Sougyoku itself. Rukia didn't do anything crazy like kill anyone or rebell or other dramatic things like that, that must have happened at one point or another in the last 2,000 years. Then why is it that when everyone like Omaeda, Soi Fon, and Isane are all freaking out and going "Omgsh so that's what it's release is!!" Shunsui goes "Hmm, that's a surprise." Whaaaat? How has Shunsui never seen this before!?
 
Also, *cackles* the raws of 361 are out! And vraieesprit attacked them. She has direct translations of the bankai(s) line, and the Hitsugaya line. Her post can be found here because I know there are at least a couple people on my flist who'd be interested. Plus, this is like her first Bleach post that isn't flocked. XD Of course I'm going to link it. :p

BUT I HONESTLY DON'T THINK THERE'D BE MUCH DIFFERENCE IF HE HAD MISSED RENJI OR IF RENJI WOULD HAVE MISSED RUKIA.

Nooo, the shadows, they were shielding me from the horses!

YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT LOL. XD

...what horses?

I WAS WRONG. RENJI WOULD PROBABLY FEEL LESS PAIN THIS WAY. SILLY ME!

...hollow ones. These are purple. You see why I am hiding, right?

THAT'S TRUE TOO. LOL POOR RENJI. XD

I MEAN, HE ALMOST DIED A COUPLE OF HOURS EARLIER, DIDN'T HE? WHAT A ROUGH UN-ETC-LIFE THAT BOY LIVES.


Why wouldn't I be followed by purple hollow horses? It's the carrots, I tell you. I should stop carrying those around!

POOR RENJI IS ALWAYS PICKED ON. *NODS*
