grassangel | 140 and 141 episode commentaries and screencaps

I am thinking of just purely bypassing commentary now and just providing high-quality screen caps with witty captions.
But I do like making witty comments.

*yawns*
It's stretched… Either that or suddenly it's widescreen format. IT IS.
Wry?

And five minute recap which is copied from 139. Kind of.
Oooh, not so good spiky things.

Okay, two minute long recap. YAY! Wanderweiss! He likes the sparklies.
Yammy doesn't like Urahara. And I really hate how the stretch makes Luppi not pretty.
Rangiku's boobs look weird… like misshapen bread rolls. And apparently she doesn't like talkitive guys...
YEAH! Go Hitsu. He's so dashing dashing, Caitlin will love that moment. AWESOME, thousand year ice prison is absolute awesome. Even if it is a giant ice cube in the sky. Which looks pretty odd.

Benihime is so pretty! If you like red and lots of explosions.
And the portable gigai is absolute win. The blowing up of it and prodding it and OMG Urahara is such a scientist and *is braindead from imagining him meeting Ed*

Oooh, and we returning to the oh crap of Ichigo facing Grimmy. Stretch is not kind to Grimmy. And in turn Grimmy is not kind to Ichigo.
Hmm… it seems as if Ichigo's wrist get's targgetted a lot as well, not just his stomach/chest.

Whee! Rukia sparklies! More ice pretties! And momentary recap.
But wow, so pretty and oh crap Grimmy's frozen. *murders her screen cap key*
Anyone want a Grimmsicle?
Rukia looks so cute trying to get Grimms sword out. And frightened when the big rescue attack happens.
Yay! Shinji and his weird music! (Stretch is not kind to him)
'Splode, 'splode, s'plode, 'splode. Such a fun sequence. With cool music and Grimmy being all acrobatic and wearing a skirt. And… his hair looks pretty.
Random matrix sequence with the camera being all spinny around them.
And I love that weird music that ceros produce.

Oooh, and all of his jacket has been ripped off. Well except for his sleeve on his cut off arm.
Rangiku's pronunciation of negacion is like… spot on. So pretty!
As are the Hueco Mundo disco lights.
Oooh, yay this music, which I like, the sparkly tinkly type.
And then it's the end. T__T

Hoahoa? ? It's Tousen's turn to teach us. But he's such a cute thing. Wanderweiss, not Tousen.
We seem to have no previews… Though… there was a blank out thing that looked like Rukia…

I skip most of the OP now.

Orihime listing the things to do is kind of cute, especially the garbage. *knows stuff about the Japanese garbage system*
This scene, where she's remembering what Ulqui told her is so… cute I guess, it's been done really really well. It's shiny and soft around the edges, like the first bit of SS arc.
The title page is so pretty too.

Ururu knows how to headlock. Hahahaha, Yumi-mummmy! Although… how did they suddenly go from pulling on his bandages to being five metres away?
Hitsu's jacket thing is like, fitted. It makes him look like he's got a waist!
Lotsa shots of him though, as it's inner reflective monologue time now! Oooh, this is cool. Although, they should've made everyone not have faces, as they did in HOLiC. By the way, I have a music reference for this episode.

Ah, Keigo and his continual denial of Ishida. But yay! Mizuiro noticing that Tatsuki's being left out. And they used the word 'nakama'! Well, Mizuiro did. I love you!

And I love Orihime being the focus of this episode (I'm not finding it too IchiHime at the moment…) The soccerball was cool too. The almost goodby to Tatsuki was also good. (So many things we wished to see in the manga but didn't)
And then this pre-bedroom scene. Yay! Rukia!

WTF? Hachi admits to having time reversal powers? Eh? He said nothing of the kind in the manga! Ichigo has such pretty wrists though…
Maybe that's why everyone wants to break them.

And he's got that Quincy bedspread again.
Yay! The twins. They're so cute, and they look older here too… So freaking adorable!
And then we see a room we've never really seen, their living room and then… it's Isshin, who get's a glory shot and shouldn't look so… fine. It's slightly scary. As well as him sounding so normal…
And more pretty shots of Rukia! As well as Isshin being normal and… kind of weird… and emanating words of doom!!!!!

Oooh, the big scene with the twins being cute and asleep. AAAAANND the Quincy bedspread.
Awww… Ichigo looks slightly, well, he is out of it. But he's adorable, and oblivious. AND HIS SISTERS ARE IN THE ROOM AND THERE'S THE QUINCY BEDSPREAD. His sisters are second and third people. She VIOLATED Ulqui's terms!
Yes, I believe that will be a plot point. Laugh all you may, but if we ever get the twins blasting into HM that's something they can use.
And then it's this moment and we get a shot of the Quincy bedspread again. AND YES IT'S MY DAMN SURVIVAL MECHANISM. Because it breaks my heart to see her this close to obsession and having a harmful mental state and gah. Flashbacks and it's so sad seeing Orihime like that. So sad and not this music. Before, with the twinkly music was so pretty and silence, because Orihime's seiyuu has a pretty voice.
Oooh… the lighting is spectacular as well as the timing of shots and voice acting. The last five minutes is GORGEOUS. And then the ED is just perfect. IT WAS MADE FOR THIS EPISODE. IT SUITS AND I'LL WATCH IT TO THE END THIS TIME.

Oooh! A cup! A pretty lame one…
So… I wasn't too cut down by any IchiHimeness (Damn those IchiHime's for inflating it.) Though the bedspread did help.
It was such a gorgeous episode I think I'll keep it…

Anyway, my music recommendation is Requiem ~ Inori from the Trinity Blood OST. It's gorgeous but it's so sad sounding. Good music for this episode.

Now, the odd ended screen caps: Grimmjow fights with one arm, guess where 'Hime is!, the cute Rukia in ketchup omelette thing and urm... did the continuity person not catch this?
The notebook (oh! Exploitable!)
