A rather wanky week in Bleach, ding dong!
A good part of this report comes from [info]wank_report. Thank you!

The tale began last week. As you may ot may not know, Rukia, Renji and some Shinigami returned to the action after being out for quite a while. Surely that will mean the whole fandom will be united in ~love and peace~, huh? Wrong!

Back then, LoneWolfStark lamented, "The team of Shinigami sent in is oh so surprising. **** Kubo, he can't even use Shinigami that haven't been shoved down our throats the entire manga."

And everything went downhill from there. Is it fanservice? Is the author running out of ideas for the story??! (hint: don't answer that) Just how much money was Kubo losing? Repeat, ad nauseum.

The spoiler thread is here The actual chapter thread is seen here. And where was Bleach Asylum, home of a good part of the crazy in this fandom? It didn't fail to deliver, either Including some rabid IchiRuki who's arrogant enough to boast about how ~bitter~ the awful and horrible IchiHimes from FLOL must be.


Meanwhile, as time passed, the kerfuffle was mentioned in [info]wank_report. That ended as well as you'd expect.

But wait, there's more! This week's spoilers and manga chapter bring the wank, too!

Because Saiyan5tails is losing his shit -- did you know that it's an HORRIBLE double standard when people say that the Shinigami return was ~fanservice ~, and he's BOUND TO MANSPLAIN AND DEFEND KUBO'S MANLY HONOR FROM THE EVIL CRITICS?!

(Of course this is the guy who some wanks ago was caught screaming his bloody head off because KT the evil bastard didn't give him his Shinigami back Like. Right. Now. And not to mention, he backpedaled when some OM people weren't amused with his stuff. Pfffft.

And guuuuuuys, guuuuuys, did you know?! The fourth movie was soooooo IchiRuki! Even when Rukia did next to nothing in the end and Orihime, no that "Inoue" skank got to give Ichigo a goodbye hug before he went off which means she's sooooo selfish and whatever and unlike ~Rukia-samaaaa~ ( Like her SELFISHNESS and OBSESSION with Ichigo proves). And Kubo hated it ~so unlike FtB ~. That's it.


Let's stay tuned and see how far this goes. Oh Bleach, you always bring the wank instead of washing it away. =D

ETA: And now Debbie speaks! Oh, Debbie. *shakes head*

ETA2: Orihimeeeeee is a SELFISH, STUPID, INFERIOR WHOREBAG who only thinks of Ichigo and nothing else, and we'll keep INVENTING random shit to PROVE IT becuase we HAETS HERRRRRR!

Ichihime hug? Countdown to Bleachness exploding in 5...4...3...2...1...

And oh noes, how dare Orihime love Ichigo! That totally means she doesn't give a shit about Tatsuki even though she clearly does!

first, icon love. That show remains a guilty pleasure of mine.

second... someday, someday it will end. And we will be left to try to explain to those who will come after, and not understand or believe.

Last chapter made me a Yamamoto/Ichigo shipper (and Ichito???).

He's the one who ordered Rukia and co to get their asses down there and help Ichigo.

The Strawberry changed his world.

Oh, at least I should thanks Bleach wankers, because reading what they spew updates me on the latest plot shenanigans without having to read the manga per se. Keep going, Bleach wankers ♥!

I know, right? I haven't read past... uhhh... somewhere in the Hueco Mundo (spelling possibly horrendous. I don't speak Spanish at all and am too lazy to look it up atm) arc and a friend of mine who reads and is a fan of Bleach still thinks I keep up with the manga.

Though I admit that there has been the odd awkward moment when I knew more about about close Orihime stood to Ichigo in panel A in relation to how close Rukia was to him in panel B than about the actual plot bun, y'know. Can't have everything.

This makes me wonder if anyone in this fandom actually knows what the word "fanservice" really means.

Hint: It's not "shit that other people like that I don't".

I'd also like to know how they can reconcile "Everyone in Japan hates the 4th movie, including Kubo himself" with "the 4th movie was pure fanservice!" Doesn't that cancel each other out? Does that mean the movie ceases to exist? Is this like dividing by zero?

Also, aren't anime movies by definition pure fanservice? Why is this an issue?

It's like something happens that they don't like, so it's automatically "fanservice", like this is a dirty word. Or that Kubo is so above that guys, really! How dare you insult his beautiful War and Peace-esque masterpiece!

I'm one of those who resent Kubo for shoving the human characters out of the way and most likely out of the story after the obligatory "yay, we're suddenly healed by Deus Ex Machina!" for the sake of the usual shinigami suspects (and to add insult to injury, he put Ishida on ignore in the most humiliating way possible), so um, yeah, I think I'm just going to shut up about that part.

As for the movie, though. I haven't seen it (yet? I don't really care about the Bleach movies but the Nakai Kazuya + Morita Masakazu combination is very very tempting, just for the lulz's sake, also I hear Ishida is more than an incidental background pattern in this film), but I wonder what people who like to praise Rukia as an uber-feminist character think about the fact that Ichigo had to save her... yet again. Which one is more important? The "shipping squee!!" factor or the "she's so ~feminist~ and better than that weak and helpless Orihime which makes our ship totally superior" factor?

(Also, Kubo hated it? I admit I don't really have the time to go through his twitter spam but I don't remember seeing anything like that...)

Especially with the way they kept shipteasing focusing on the relationship between Ichigo and Nakai's character in anime mags prior to the movie. I think I actually saw "Passionate Male Friendship" somewhere (or at least something very similar).

I watched it last night. Rukia has less screentime than either Ishida or Renji. Renji gets the biggest role out of all the nakama. Rukia doesn't help Ichigo control his hollow (he does it himself), she doesn't fight well (her one fight is half the length of Renji OR Ishida's and it's frankly embarrassing), and as soon as Ichigo rescues her, she asks where Renji is. She is naked for all of two seconds, where you don't see anything but the outline of her butt (she's bent over towards the camera), but that's mostly because she's coming out of a lava pit.

Overall, if you read the IR FC's description of the movie, then watch the movie, you'll be very, very confused as to where they saw any of what they're describing.

That's not to say Orihime's parts are much better. She spends the majority of her screentime healing people silently, which is much more than she's done in any movie previously. But I can pretty much say that IchiHimes are dancing in the streets over the parts she did have.

But neither of the girls has enough screentime to really watch the movie for them. Especially since the movie is basically a 90 minute fight scene.

And Kubo asked that he be removed as "Executive Director" according to the promo pamphlet, because he "didn't do enough". That sounds less like "I hate this movie and disown it" (why would you put that in a promo pamphlet) as "I object to this job title".

Well yes, obviously if you hate a movie based on your work and you don't want to be associated with it the perfect way to express that is in a small interview in the promo pamphlet where you state that you feel you didn't have enough input to be credited as executive director. And then plug said movie on twitter, multiple times.

Overall, if you read the IR FC's description of the movie, then watch the movie, you'll be very, very confused as to where they saw any of what they're describing.

I suppose the same place where they see everything else, such as the quiet dignity of Ichigo's awakening from his power loss induced coma and him requesting to be alone with Rukia for their farewell (or however debbiechan phrased it).

I do not understand anyone that could bitch about the Return Of Shinigami when it involves Byakuya being back and being smoking hot.

Also Kenpachi. You can never, ever have too much Kenpachi. Kenpachi/Byakuya = two great tastes that taste great together

WHERE'S THE GINTAMA WANK?

WHEN DO I GET GINTAMA WANK?!

WHAT ANIME DOES A PERSON HAVE TO WATCH TO GET BLEACH-LEVEL WANK?

mm, maybe No. 6 by a few weeks from now... Tiger and Bunny... naah

I still don't understand why these people ship Rukia so hard with Ichigo or however he's called, when there's a perfectly fine Orihime to ship Rukia and Tatsuki with.

Ichigo goes better with Ishida, anyway. Even their names fit!

ncluding some rabid IchiRuki who's arrogant enough to boast about how ~bitter~ the awful and horrible IchiHimes from FLOL must be.

Totally not the best way to show their insecurity about their pairing there!

I don't understand it either. Ichigo's a whiny teenager and not really that good looking. Rukia (and 'Hime) can do so much better, tbh.
