grassangel | Commentary on the 106, 107 of Bleach

First off I am certain, that aside from those two new Bleach beat CDs, we are also due a OST. There was music I hadn't heard previously in these episodes.
Of course, it may just be the disappearing soundtrack which is used only once or twice, but I think we're due another soundtrack.

Now onto the proper spiel.

106

NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO HAVE A FLASHBACK KARIYA!! But, it does provide us a chance to see why you're so messed up.

Kariya, you're emotionally attached to too many people. Much like Ishida is, only the source of his problems isn't that. Even though you do share two ladies.

At least we know why you had a thing for Yoshino.
And we now know why you have that scar and hair colour.

Though why the hell you didn't trim your hair for a couple of centuries I have no idea. Plus, all the other Bount dolls are ugly. As were the old Quincy outfits. (Uryuu, yours rules)
Plus, the shinigami look the same throughout the flashback.

ISHIDA! You're looking pretty again! *nuzzles* (But you still look like a girl like you have been for the fillers)
And your battles are looking better than before.

Oh and just to clarify on the point that he's got his powers back. He doesn't. He explains the accessory allows Quincy with weak powers to battle. Weak powers = power that is practically useless, even in the most passive situations. As we know from when he used those little bottles, he's still got some control over the more passive powers a Quincy has.
Which must include the ability to manipulate spirit particles and pressure.
So, he's still got those passive ones. Just not the ones that he needs to form a bow.
Got that?

And that's a CHIP not a crack!

But I love your line "That goes for me too."
Too many split screens though.. And gentlemanliness.

Then there's the practical repeat of episode 14 at the end…

ICHIGO! Why did you have to use BLUE light? Made me think Ryuuken had suddenly come.
Pretty voice acting from Noriyaki Sugiyama throughout though… Made me drool a bit.

Omake sucked. Just Kon. And why the hell are two VICE-CAPTAINS guarding the gate? Let alone Kira and Hisagi? (I smell a crack pairing…) The movie stuff was good though. 'Specially the Kon kiss.And Matsumoto's power pose. Senna looks too much like Momo though.

107

Opening the same movie one as before…. Nothing interesting 'side from the fact Senna reminds me of Haruko from FLCL.

Rantao sounds as if she's giving birth… Two min recap, how'd you guess? Got a crotch shoot for Ishida though.. Again.

Pretty title shot though. And random Ichigo showing concern for Ishida. (IshiIchi strikes again!) And Ichigo's head looks uncomfortable in that position… And all for a bankai shot...
Crappy animating returns, though it's more bendy limbs and shots and drawing with a pen brush than rubber limbs and just ughness.

Hate Inoue's face though. Get away you evil plastic doll! Give us back the real Inoue!

Give us back Matsumoto's real hair too. And stop giving Hitsugaya the limelight. We know he's popular but you don't need to rub it in our faces.

On second thoughts though… Give us back the real Ishida as well. His face has gone all funny! But Hitsu looked adorable there. And there was random wistful Inoue.

WTF?! WTF? I should'a known from the title thingy that Ichinose was alive! DAMMIT!

There are more pretties of Hitsu… Specially eye shots. (I have a thing for eyes okay?)

Nanao's voice sounds weird… Yumi looks girly (so pretty!) and Uno's head looks munted. Plus, we get another glance at the fact that Yamamoto is an old man. His office is outside in the fresh air and sun. *giggles*

*baulks* That SHOULD'VE been a panty shot. But it's on this side of propriety and it looks ridiculous.
Okay, the animation has gone down the drain.
Again.
Her legs are sticks and it looks like she's a cripple.
And why again the echoes to previous episodes?? We do not want more of 62! Lean face….

YAY for rag doll physics!!! But Ishida? Being CONFIDENT?

Zangetsu meet Messer, Messer meet Zangetsu.

Rest is blah. Even the omake though Kon is being dodgy….

And let me say my super-conspiracy theory about Tessai!

I've been reading a lot of 'Tessai met Urahara in the Gotei 13' fics.
Well, what if he was part of that special forces thing (I think it's the second) where they're the lackeys for those chanty kidous? It'd make sense.
