Finished Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War and I am reminded of why I watched every episode of Bleach rather than slog through Naruto Shippuden.

Man, I have Feelings about Orihime, I miss the weirdo goober from early Bleach. Her gaggle of simps feel more like an observation group than a real friend group, barring Tatsuki and Ichigo.

Idk, like...after she gets kidnapped she falls into what I would call Horse Girl mode, where she's all "if I can tame this here monsterboy, I might survive". And the fact that she does it twice feels...idk, it's Kubo writing to a T, but...the worst part about it is that Orihime kinda just stays in horse girl mode after that for the most part. The weirdo goober is gone, and in her place is a girl who can haltingly say "Kurosaki-kun" with the best of them.

Like...Kubo didn't fully pull a Kishimoto and entirely fumble her character arc, but he took a fun character out of his gag rotation.

#bleach thoughts #bleach anime #orihime inoue #tite kubo is a motherfucker #and yet he's still a better comic artist than masashi kishimoto #i say as a naruto fan #bleach isn't great but i'm old and it's nostalgic #like i enjoy naruto as s whole src of a story but i really hate how much the fate narrative is shoehorned in #i mean the thousand year blood war is bad but it's no black zetsu #one day I am gonna just blog about my naruto au that I made with a friend along with the tabletop rpg we developed #mostly so I can talk gamedev on the thing i am maybe doing #i don't know half the characters half as well as I should like #and i like less than half of them half as well as they deserve #naruto is so funny
