Basically it says that Jump Festa Bleach will be held on Dec. 18th and 19th. The scheduled guests are Kubo sensei, Morita (Ichigo), Orikasa (Rukia), Nakai (Kokutou's seiyuu), Furuya (Syuren's seiyuu). This is the first time movie OCs are showing up for the festival. I'm disappointed other Bleach seiyuu like Ishida's and Orihime's aren't there. I expected the nakama there. I guess these OCs are expected to be popular? Soul Plates and everything--well... they're bishie for sure.

Also, I need to clear up a rumor regarding a misunderstood/mistranslated tweet that's been circulating. It's being said that Kubo-sensei requested hentai of Yoruichi, Neliel, and Rangiku and implied that he wanted to see some of Orihime. That's just not true. Not saying that Sensei can't be a perv sometime but what he was referring to were the new Bleach mousepads that have recently been merchandised. The mousepads are, erm, "erotic" and feature 3-D boobs of said characters. Kubo simply hadn't seen the merchandise and wanted to see them. Also, Seika Oda (Yuki, Orihime's seiyuu) asked Kubo why Orihime wasn't featured on one of the mousepads and Kubo responded that it was because Orihime was still in high school. Du'uh. Anyway, just clearing that up because nothing irritates me more than misinformation. This is how those "there's going to be a TURN BACK THE PENDULUM ARC ABOUT THE ESPADA" rumors get started.

I think it's obvious that Chad and Inoue are in different classes. If they were in Ichigo's class, we would have had a frame showing them, like Sensei used to during the Karakura arc.

Beside, we only hear Ishida giving an odd excuse to go hunt hollow, which indicates that he is still in Ichigo's class - would Chad and Inoue really ignore the whole business? I'm not sure, maybe they would. There seem to be a distance, even between Chad and Ichigo right now - he wasn't shown when Ichigo went to school or went back home.

Somehow, as I told you deb, it struck me that it was the three characters the most dependant on Ichigo who are not in his class anymore - Mizuiro, Chad and Inoue. It also struck me that nowadays, Ichigo seems closer to his non-powerful friends - Mizuiro, Keigo and Tatsuki - rather than the 3 nakama. All I can do is hope that the team of Rockin' Future 7 will finally be brought back together. It does seem that Rukia is a link, not only for Ichigo and his powers, but also between Ichigo and his friends - as she is missing, Ichigo shuts down, and everything goes very blank.

Poor Ichigo. Even though he now has more time to study, his grades still drop because he's missing both his powers and Rukia. I'm kinda wondering if on his paper form, he's not going to write "Shinigami" XD I hope he can make the decision by then :)
