I Was Watching The New Bleach Episode This Morning And Realized Something Really Funny. It May Only Be

i will die on the hill of inoue orihime being a good character actually

More Bleach Vintage Stock Stuff!!

Alright, there’s not a lot here. Just a couple of updates. First off, a Renji Funko Pop. Now I’ve mentioned before that I don’t like Funkos and am not interested in getting them. Especially the ones that are stupid expensive. Like this.

Why is this worth $100? Like, I love Renji but I would only pay this much for a much higher quality figure with Hihiō Zabimaru to scale. Or Sōō Zabimaru. Is there a figure of Renji with either of his Bankais? Notes for later. Anyway, this dumb thing is way overpriced and is now the most expensive Bleach product we have since we sold the Zabimaru replica sword. Congrats, Renji. You’re finally more expensive than Byakuya. BUT AT WHAT COST?!?

We did get a new figure from corporate, too. This one of Ichigo.

I love the Vibration Stars figures. I’ve got one of Rock Lee from Naruto and one of Gabimaru from Hell’s Paradise. This one will be joining them soon. Right when I get more shelves. Heh. That’s all for this update. Next time I made include more anime stuff outside of just Bleach.

If I had a nickel for everytime Cristina Vee voiced a red head with pigtails with the power to put people and things in a different space,

I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Edit: Oh shit! They’re both tsunderes, too!

If you’re still taking responses for the Stupid Innocuous Bleach Faves, I love that Ichigo reads Shakespeare. Like, he doesn’t just have a casual interest. He went to college to study English Literature and became a translator. The man really likes Shakespeare. And that makes me wonder, what’s Ichigo’s favorite comedy? Favorite tragedy? Historical play? Sonnet? Do he and Orihime look for theaters putting on Shakespeare productions for date nights? (Yes, and they have a great time.) Who does he talk to about Shakespeare? I’d like to think at first he only talks to Chad about it because Chad is a great listener. Then he meets Rukia and gets her into it because she loves drama. After he gets closer with Orihime he starts recommending plays to read: Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer to start. It makes me wonder what other authors he enjoys. Agatha Christie? Jane Austen? Mark Twain? Who knows? Anyway, I just love that Ichigo is a book nerd. Specifically a Shakespeare nerd.

Stupid Innocuous Best Fave

MAN I wish I knew more about Shakespeare so I could pick out all the plays and sonnets that would be Ichigo's faves! But I've only read the few plays you get through the US public school system (mine were Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer's Night Dream, The Merchant of Venice, one of the King Henry plays, and a truly terrible high school production of Julius Caesar, which was also somehow both a sci-fi AU and a musical) and one quarter of Jacobean Shakespeare in undergrad. BUT I agree with everything you've listed here and all of these headcanons, and want to add one more.

Ichigo's favorite filmic adaptation of Shakespeare is The Merchant of Venice (2004), because Al Pacino, ICHIGO'S FAVORITE ACTOR, plays Shylock, and imho does it absolutely splendidly. He is just so good at speaking Shakespearean English and making it sound fluid and natural:

Granted, I haven't seen this movie in like 15 years, so ymmv, but I would 100% watch it again--both for Al Pacino and for Ichigo!

Will this be the time that I finally watch the dub for Bleach TYBW part 2? Maybe. But not this week. My wife and I are buying a house and we move this week. Exciting stuff! If we see more stuff we like, I’ll add it to the list.

My in-laws are really cool. They don’t watch anime but they know I watch anime and will get me anime themed gifts for Christmas. Last year, they got me a bunch of One Piece stuff including models of the Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny. This year it was figures of Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen and Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul. I haven’t actually read Tokyo Ghoul yet but it is next on my binge read list. The point is, my in-laws are the coolest and I love them very much. 😊
