Lighten up, fandom

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

Great Kami, shippers, lighten up! I think I caught the word jihad being used in the shipwars this weekend. Have some funnies.

Mezzo is always good for some funnies.( For those of you who don't know, there was some wank over the word "reunion" in Rukia's "Save the reunion for later" line in 317. First, it was claimed to not exist in the more accurate translation; then when it was proved to exist in the raw, it was claimed that Rukia was referring to a reunion of friends, not to a reunion of her and Ichigo, specifically.... elsewhere someone was measuring how wide Ichigo's mouth was in the panel where he saw Rukia in order to prove that it was the same expression of joy as when he saw Chad).

( True copies of 317 found! )

The eyeball sex *blow on nails and rubs them on collar*, a term coined by MOI in the UlquiHime FanClub not long ago, belonged to Ulquiorra and Orihime in this chapter, though. Ulqui almost got to second base!

( 317 belonged to UlquiHime )

Kaya (bananakaya) has hilarious Bleach entry this week.

Check out Kaya's silliness


Brief mod note:  I recently purged a bunch of random posts with links to YouTube and ff.net because one had a wrong link and the others seemed random. If you post a link to something bleachy, please make sure it's something special that readers may not have been able to find easily.  Please repost if you think the stories are worthwhile--I was click-happy when deleting and took out a whole row of posts the way Renji took out Exequias.

The new Bleach movie comic

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

I have a confession to make. I saw the first Bleach movie and I haven't seen any since. Why? I can't stand anime movies. The timeline disruptions hurt me. For some reason I can't see them as video-fanfic--not even to appreciate the quality animation. I try.... But I was traumatized once upon a time. In one of the later DBZ movies Chibis Goten and Trunks fought a resurrected Hitler  Although years after first viewing the dubbed version, I could appreciate that movie on another level of yuck-yucks, I never really got over the shock.

First thought when I heard there was going to be a Hitsugaya movie was yey, orin  is going to love it (and possibly draw more Hitsugaya!) but I'LL PASS.  First thought when I heard of the Rukia movie was damn, my Annie got her wish. When Rukia finished 2nd in the popularity polls, she demanded a Rukia movie. So far, that's what it looks like--Rukia's the poster girl. We have very little else except this official website and the confirmation that Kubo Tite himself gave the movie its title and subtitle: Fade to Black: Calling Out Your Name (In the one sound clip we have, Morita hams it up calling RuKiaaAAAAaaaaaAAAAGH the way only Morita can).

One of my friends will probably force me to watch this movie (I'm currently being persuaded to watch the Hitsu movie for the Kubo Tite extra interview it will sell with) but the fuss about it is more fandom fun for me. Thanks again to Mezzo who found another comic on a Japanese fansite.

Does everyone in Japan draw really well or what? It's like the place is exploding with awesome fanartists and doujinshi artists.
