The Mermaid Star watches the Bleach Live Action Movie

(Note: I'm not very good at remembering names, so forgive me when I refer the actors simply as ex: "Ichigo's actor". Also, I am a very open IchiRuki shipper, but I will try to keep this as unbiased as I possibly can.)

First of all, I will admit that like most people, I didn't expect too much for this live action adaptation of Bleach. Not only because I knew live movie versions of animes almost never go well, but also because I did not particularly part ways with Bleach in a happy manner.

So when I first heard the news of the live action movie, I was not happy. This is obviously bait for Kubo and co. to see if there was still enough demand for Bleach to continue as a franchise And honestly, after that terrible last arc and the disappointing ending, nobody really asked for this. I honestly did not care for Bleach to continue on with the new generation.

Still, despite everything, I could not resist my curiosity as trailers of the movie came out. They looked pretty decent at the very least, the actors were a bit unexpected, but the effects were pretty okay. Somehow I wanted to give this movie a chance. After all, I did have quite a long history with Bleach.

And now that the movie's been posted early on Netflix, of course I couldn't resist watching the movie! So without further ado, here are my impressions of the live action Bleach movie:

The beginning part of the movie gave me a "Hm, ok." impression, especially the part where Ichigo first meets Rukia. I gotta admit that their first meeting was a bit underwhelming for me. But I suppose in real life, it would be unrealistic for the scene to go as comical as it did in the manga/anime. But then the fight with that first hollow came, and the pace began to move better. I was pretty impressed with the special effects for the hollows. Ichigo's sword could've been better, but I didn't mind it too much. I was satisfied with the way the scene went. Except for the part where they skipped Ichigo and Rukia's iconic first exchange of names. There were several changes made to the plotline, which were quite understandable, though there are moments where I felt that they're cramming a bit, especially the Grand Fisher part. Still, the movie overall was a surprisingly good watch, probably one of the better made live action movies from shounen animes/mangas. It didn't compromise too much with its storyline, and the essence of what made Bleach, well, "Bleach", was still there, which was definitely what mattered most. I especially liked the latter part of the movie where things began to get serious. Of course, I won't deny that there are several parts that could've been done better. But overall, it's a movie that satisfied me as a former Bleach fan, and something I would definitely watch again.

Ichigo's actor had moments where I wasn't fully convinced of his facial expressions. I think I've always had this impression with a lot of Japanese actors/actresses' mannerisms that they're either overreacting or too dull. Ichigo seemed to be the former at times. That said, I will not deny that he does have a lot of moments where he really becomes "Ichigo", especially during the fight scenes. I could've sworn that I could sometimes hear the original voice of Ichigo. He does bring out a bit of, say, a "kawaii" side to Ichigo, like the high-five scene which I wouldn't think the original Ichigo would've ever done due to his consciousness about his tough reputation. It's not a negative per say, but it does bring a different side of Ichigo to light without completely compromising with his character. His action scenes are quite well-done too, so I was impressed and satisfied with the actor overall.

Rukia's actress was initially not what I expected to be. Like Ichigo, I think this version of Rukia is a bit less guarded with her emotions, which is not necessarily a bad thing. She really did grow on me and has somewhat fit into the role of Rukia, she was able to capture the essence of Rukia's character even if their mannerisms are not totally alike. Her ability to make very believable facial expressions made me completely sold to her as an actress. I really think this girl will go far in the Japanese acting industry.

Ichigo and Rukia's bond was really emphasized in this movie, as it should be since it was the focus of the first arc and is essential to pretty much all the arcs and Ichigo's development. I initially had doubts about the two actors' chemistry when the posters and trailers came out, I wanted them to bring justice the most unbreakable bond in Bleach's story. Well, it turns out that these two have MASSIVE chemistry! I really couldn't help smiling and giggling at their interactions. These two acted so naturally with each other, I couldn't deny that these two were "Ichigo and Rukia" in the flesh. Those training scenes were probably the best thing they've added to the story, especially since it makes Ichigo's growth of strength more realistic and believable rather than just relying on pure power and adrenaline. You could really see how their relationship naturally grew even in that short amount of time; from strangers who had no choice but to begrudgingly work together, to becoming each others' close confidants who would do anything in their power to protect each other. I mean, all that "You could stay here in our world" and "I could be your friend" lines from Ichigo? All the times Rukia kept denying her attachment to Ichigo but then would state that she was happy to hear him say those words? OH MY HEART!!! I can never get enough of their scenes together! I've always thought that these two shine the most when they're together, and I'm really happy that I get the same feeling in the movie. I admit that I did get a bit emotional at the part where Rukia had to pretend to insult Ichigo and physically detain him in order to protect him from Byakuya, especially when she said that he would forget all about her after all this is done. God, the painful expressions of both Ichigo and Rukia! I could feel both of their pain at being torn apart like this. It's without a doubt that Ichigo and Rukia's strong bond was the main highlight of the movie, and arguably the best and most accurate element from the original storyline. It really made me nostalgic, so despite the fact that this movie could've been done better, I'm glad that this movie has somewhat become a reminder to us fans of how good the Bleach series used to be in the first part.

I gotta admit, I was also mostly impressed by Ishida. He was probably the most accurate to the original character, and not only did he look the part, the actor did a very good job capturing Ishida's mannerisms. I loved the Quincy arrow and bow effects too. I did think that his acceptance of Ichigo was a bit too fast, but I'll let that slide. I'm glad that Uryu at least had his fair time to shine in this movie, as he should have.

Chad and Orihime were pretty meh in the movie. They pretty much haven't contributed anyting important to the storyline, only being reduced to mere observants on the sidelines. Again, this is understandable because of the movie's limited time. Still, it is nice to see that these two were at least not cut out completely. I did kinda like the part where they showed Chad protecting their classmates using his strength, at least they didn't forget that he was naturally strong even for a normal human. Although I kinda thought his scene in the beginning of the movie seemed a bit random. As for the actor, I wished that they could've gotten a real Eurasian guy to act as Chad. But oh well, I think he did okay as Chad considering how small his role was. I also wished we saw a bit of a glimpse of Orihime's Shun Shun Rikka, maybe a bit of glimmer from her hair clips to hint their awakening powers. At first I was kinda disappointed with her actress when she was revealed in the promos, but she eventually grew on me and I saw her appeal. I did not like however how she was pretty much reduced to the moping lovesick girl whose only lines were most if not all just concerning Ichigo. I kinda missed her, well, ditzy moments which added to the comedy and light-heartedness of the series. It would've been funny to at least see Inoue bring some of her rather unique cooking to school. But again, even the original Inoue's vast imagination would not be realistic in real life, so that's fine too. Like Chad, I thought Orihime's actress did okay and was pretty enough to look like Orihime. Despite lacking Orihime's flowing locks, I quite liked her hair being brown and medium-length and pinned to one side, it made her look cute without looking immature. I'm a bit disappointed though to not see her and Rukia's friendship grow, which was supposed to be one of the reasons why Rukia became more attached to the Human World. Again, time constraints.

Byakuya and Renji were probably the most disappointing ones for me. At first I was really excited to see Byakuya, he looked really good in the promos. I thought his hair was done well considering how complicated it's supposed to be. But while watching the movie, I slowly grew more and more disappointed in their portrayal of Byakuya. He somewhat gave me this rockstar, swaggish vibe, instead of the refined, aloof aristocrat he was supposed to be. I understand that his actor was a musician. Still, I expected more from him, and I was let down. I did not like how he seemingly enjoys taunting Rukia and Ichigo when he's supposed to be inwardly conflicted about Rukia's sentence. I did like that one scene though where he was sizing up a weakened Ichigo, and while he did not say anything, you can see in his eyes that he recognised something in Ichigo's eyes that slightly changed his perspective of him. I'd like to believe that this is the scene where he realized how much Ichigo resembled Kaien, which gave him even more reason to kill him for Rukia. Renji is also another character who I did not appreciate very much in the movie. I wished the actor was a bit taller, more menacing. But honestly, he was not convincing, instead coming off as quite irritating, especially with his weird tongue mannerism. At the very least, I'm glad that they did the scene where he saw Ichigo's unwavering resolve to save Rukia, and was shown to be somewhat affected by it, and at least he seems more reluctant to kill Rukia than Byakuya. I've always liked the sort of "rivalry" Ichigo and Renji shared in the original series, and I think this movie portrayed it pretty well despite my reservations about Ichigo and Renji's respective actors.

I won't bother commenting about the other characters since my common comment for them is that their unique characters were reduced to pretty much ordinary people. It's quite disappointing, especially Tatsuki and Karin, but like i said multiple times before, it's understandable. I'm surprisingly also disappointed that Kon wasn't around even though I completely understand how useless he would be to the plot. Even just his lifeless doll being used as an easter egg would've made me smile. I missed that plushy perverted mascot. He deserved a lot more screentime ever since the Arrancar arc.

Overall, I'd score this movie a 7/10. A lot of work still needs to be done, but it was still satisfying enough for me. The heart of Bleach was there, and that's what matters most. It was definitely good enough for me to start rewatching the Bleach anime again (not the manga though) due to the nostalgia it brings. At the very least, it reminded me that despite the disappointing last arcs and ending, there are still enough good moments worth watching in Bleach.

NTWEWY Live Thoughts (Part 3 - Main Story Finale)

Huge spoilers, naturally.

FINAL PREDICTIONS: Joshua is now the Producer. Not-Joshua (from end of final trailer) is the new Composer. Either Not-Joshua or Rhyme is Swallow.

Can't decide whether all of this or the Red Skull epidemic is creepier.

I wish the Plague Noise required the use of the "run from battle" feature. I liked that moment in the original game.

That reflection thing's gonna be important, isn't it? Can't figure out how, though, but the Plague Noise ARE rather reflective...

A silent guy in shadows whose username is "DownWithTheSyndrome"? Worry.

The arrangement of portrait cut-ins during a Killer Remix just leaves a big open spot for a sixth party member. Not even trying to hide it.

The Plague Noise are being weird with my Groove meter...

Oh, hey, nice to FINALLY meet you, Hishima.

The Social Network calls Hishima a "So-called 'Shinjuku Reaper.'" What's his deal?

When I saw Kanon in the release date trailer for the first time, I didn't expect her character to play out like this.

"DIVIDE" is doing a really good job fitting the tone.

I'm not a fan of the Time Bomb pins when it comes to gameplay, but I like the bombs' design.

...so IS it Beat that Rhyme is talking to?

IT'S A TRAP, SHOKA

I really like Eiru.

Last-second pre-Ayano encounter prediction: the vision will come true, but the wounded person will NOT be Ayano. (HINDSIGHT: I was wrong.)

Seeing Shoka not in her Mr. Mew getup is just weird.

S**ttalking Kubo makes me happy.

How did it never occur to me that "FanGO" was an abbreviation?

Not a fan of this "chat with Shoka" segment. Interesting idea, but it leans too much into trial and error.

And of course Shoka ends up landing the final hit on Ayano.

The iguana's gone...was it evil the whole time?

SCREW. THE. REAPERS.

Could you please SHOW YOUR FACE and EXPLAIN things, Rhyme?

Now THIS is an interesting setup. (Though I can't help but realize the trailer misrepresented the "Rindo amnesia" thing a bit.)

"Strange Noise"? Calling it--it'll be either Taboo Noise or completely made up.

Ah, this is gonna be the finale of Fret's arc about being genuine.

Experiencing the day backwards is great.

Is this "new Noise" gonna be just the Plague Noise?

Kanon ended up being a way more enjoyable and interesting character than I expected.

The voice acting in this game is REALLY good.

Is Coco gonna show up next day?

Is Kaie talking to Rhyme???

...is Minamimoto coming back?

...is this talk about Fret's friend going where I think it's going?

Please tell me Kariya isn't gonna die...

So how long until the Reapers decide to exploit Rindo's "one-Replay-per-day" limit? Is that today?

Hishima is trapping us, isn't he?

Just noticed there's one last Social Network node connected directly to Rindo. Definitely Neku and/or Swallow.

I predict Hishima and Kaie will defect fully.

The Dive battle with that Wall Reaper was surprisingly difficult. The Plague Wolves' dash attack is bulls**t.

Twister's NEO mix hasn't appeared yet, so I'm thinking it'll be saved for Neku's introduction. And/or serve as the final boss theme.

I like how Cyco Records holds the NEO mixes, like it's a shop for classic hits.

We're at Udagawa...is THIS when Neku reappears?

YEAHHHHH UZUKI

The wolves' dash attacks are ABSOLUTE bulls**t.

MINAMIMOTO WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Aaaaahhhhh this makes sense for the birds

LEO CANTUS IS BACK

That fight was HELLISH, but also kinda fun.

BEAT NO

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

TWISTERRRRRRRRRRRR

HE'S SMILING

HE'S WEARING A GATTO NERO HOODIE

ALL RIGHT JUST WAITING ON RHYME, SHIKI, AND JOSHUA

FINALLY a bit of an explanation of post-A New Day

Is Coco the friend?! Was her being good ACTUALLY right?!

Oh God, is Shiba gunning for Neku's friends?

Neku's Social Network reward is a joke about him and Rindo being protagonists; that's SO cute.

I'm guessing there'll be a scene where Shiba says something Neku would have said in the first game and Neku criticizes him for it.

Oh, that's eerie. Good news is that Neku's friends are...PROBABLY safe.

OH I FEEL SO POWERFUL

Aww, that's sweet.

Cat Street...finally gonna explain where the cafe went?

I am SO happy to see Neku again.

I am getting Killer Remixes SO fast now!

The Tower Records clerk is so nervous; I feel bad for her.

That was such a sweet interaction between Fret and Nagi, and getting a pin called "Frosty Friendship" was the icing on the cake.

Hearing "Underground" is so nostalgic and calming.

Everything's coming together...

I doubt "Mr. Mew contains Hype-chan's soul" was ever a theory posited.

Why am I suddenly getting D's when even fights that went horribly would previously get C's?

DISSONANCE?

And finally we know the truth behind Hype-chan.

WOAH YOU GOT BACK EARLY

Please tell me I don't need to fight Susukichi's muscle form a THIRD time. Please let it be just a Cantus.

My biggest question at this point is WHY Shiba is doing this.

The River, of course.

WAIT NO IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THIS

Oh, good, it IS a Cantus.

Shiba's got no one else...except for Kubo. (Is HE the higher power?)

We already know it's Rhyme; can you just show her face already?!

And where's Joshua?!

TWISTER NEO MIXXXXXX

TALK TO HER, BEAT

I like this "meet all the supporting characters" segment.

This is managing a MUCH more intimidating atmosphere than the first game's final day...yet Twister's NEO Mix keeps a sense of determination/

Oh, this is TERRIFYING.

IT RESTARTS TO THE FIRST PHASE?!

Can't even skip the cutscenes...rrrgh...

Okay, Shiba's down...what's the twist?

YEAHHHHH TELL HIM, NEKU

EXECUTOR?! ANOTHER Reaper position?!

Driving home the "Four Is Death" symbolism a bit much, aren't we?

SCREW. THE. ANGELS.

Rindo was a proxy, too...

Hacker Rhyme is great.

Kubo's Cantus will be a raven, won't it?

Wasn't there a Kingdom Hearts boss like this?

SHOKA WAS SWALLOW??? WTF???

...Joshua???

...this finale keeps throwing me for loops.

For a second I genuinely thought Hazuki really WOULD turn out to be Joshua and I'd get to laugh at everyone who said I was wrong.

We're still gonna get an explanation for why Coco resurrected Minamimoto, right?

Meant to say this earlier, but forgot--while the minimap can be a bit disorienting sometimes, I feel like I've gotten a better sense of Shibuya's layout than in the first game.

Actually, Haz kinda feels like Joshua...is it possible it's him in disguise? ...but why would he be disguised?

I STILL think Haz sounds like Joshua.

Is anyone going to bring up that saving peoples' lives is more important than vague notions about what you like about Shibuya?

Ah, yes they will. Thank you.

Honestly feels a bit selfish for Rindo to risk everyone's lives to save a few people.

I feel like this would have worked better if Haz appeared in some form previously.

OHHHHHHHH HAZ YOU MISCHIEVOUS GENIUS ...how much does this actually help?

REUNION HOOOOOOOOOO

OH RHYME IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN

Awwwww, Reaper Creeper.

"And I hope your dream comes true." I'm gonna cry

Tsugumi? SHIKI!

Uzuki picking up Rhyme? I'd say that'd be VERY awkward, but I feel like Rhyme would just be "let bygones be bygones."

Shinjuku's gonna be restored somehow too, right?

C-cafe? On Cat Street?

Minamimoto's back! Didn't expect that, but I really should have.

Nice words, Neku.

It's weird hearing Kaie actually talk.

Rhyme is so adorable.

Here we are. Moment of truth. Level 39. Operation: Awakening all set.

SHIKIIIIII!!! EYESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

I'm gonna cry again

"I CAN SEE YOU JUST FINE"

"I THINK IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GET TO WORK"

JOSHUA! WELCOME BACK YOU LITTLE JERK

This is basically just a really long cutscene, but I don't care; this is awesome.

...My...game...SOFTLOCKED! Didn't realize complimenting the cutscene would be tempting fate.

This is just...amazing. A finale 14 years in the making.

Is the final boss a PHOENIX? THAT'S AWESOME!

NOW A RAINBOW PHOENIX???

My one gripe is that the floor can be hard to make out, so it can be easy to accidentally run into the walls.

I haven't seen a finale that awesome since Octo Expansion. Just...INCREDIBLE.

So IS Shinjuku back?

IT'S SO FRIGGIN' WONDERFUL

Now THIS is the kind of deus ex machina I like

Never thought I'd say this, but GOOD ON YOU, SHIBA.

Tsugumi laughing...

I have no words for this reunion. Just...it's been so long...

AHHHH THE CALLBACK

Awwww...

Finally. A happy ending. Everyone deserves this.

Oh, of course. The world begins anew.

AWWWW the title screen updates!

Oh GOD a new Another Day. I don't have the time or emotional stamina for this right now.

Final thoughts: I don't know how NEO would rank among my favorite video games, but experiencing all of this mostly spoiler-free, seeing all the reveals and feelin all the emotions, just might mean this is my favorite gaming EXPERIENCE of all time. This game absolutely lived up to the hype and is the follow-up that TWEWY fans deserved while still being a fantastic standalone story with (usually) extremely fun gameplay.

Gotei 15 Through the Years (An IRL Story)

Where to begin... Well let’s see, 12 year ago I started dating a girl who seemed very much like me. We hit off very easily and after a lot of complications and various issues (this is another story in itself) we ended up together. Now, you just keep in mind that when we started dating neither of us were reading/watching BLEACH (hell i didn’t even know about it yet). Well sometime in the first year or so of being together, I found BLEACH and I fell in love with it. As a natural gesture, I shared this new love with the girl I loved. After some early dismissals of the material, she eventual began to like BLEACH as well.

From there, things only escalated as we and most of friends discovered that we shared a lot in common with the two main protagonists of BLEACH (Ichigo and Rukia). From our personalities, to behaviors, to even mannerisms. Now you must also keep in mind, we were like this before we ever found BLEACH. However the fact that we were so similar to these characters, made our bond to one another seem even stronger. We loved the back and forth relationship that these two shared and how well they complimented one another. It was like they were made for us in some way, shape or form.

Fast forward a bit and my love (who has a talent for sewing and such) made us both Shinigami robes for our respective characters and we used them for cosplay purposes at several anime conventions we were going to at the time. Eventually I was given an upgrade as she made me Ichigo’s Bankai coat. Now I must tell you the amount of detail and time she put into this coat. She spent quite some time starring at pictures of his coat over and over to get all the details down. She managed to work out all the tattered cuts and “spikes” at the end of his coat...TWICE! Once for the black outter coat, and then again for a red inner liner for the coat. Now the Shinigami robes were not our only BLEACH costumes, we both had the corresponding characters School Uniforms for cosplay use as well. Later we adopted a fan theory about Ichigo being the captain of Gotei 15 ( with the flower for the squad be a Strawberry Plant) and Rukia being his Vice Captain. My love then decided to take this one step further and actually make herself the Vice Captain badge with the strawberry plant on it and a captain’s cloak for me with the #15 on the back in the same design style as the other 13 official ones.

Now, you might be wondering why I mention all of this, well it is to help further your understanding of who we are and how much we were into BLEACH. Let us skip ahead a bit more to about roughly 2.5 years into our relationship. It is currently 2007 at this point and we are at Otakon (an anime convention) and I am about to make the biggest change in my life. On July 21st, while we were at the convention, in front of a bunch of our friends, I asked my Rukia to be mine forever. I had this whole proposal worked out. I had been plotting for months exactly how I was going to do it, where I was going to do it and when I was going to do it. I even had my male friends all in on it and made them assist with getting things prepared. After all my planning for the months leading up to actually popping the question, I had everything figured out.... that is, everything except for actually handling the final part that involved presenting her with the ring. I got all the way up to that moment and literally just winged that last part. It was a bit haphazard and I did not get down on one knee or anything. I literally fumbled the ending, after all that careful plotting.

As the years went on and BLEACH’s story continued, we continued to use our cosplays of each character. Every convention saw the return of our dynamic duo despite the fanbase dying off more and more each year. It didn’t matter to us, they were us and we were them and nothing was going to change that. Or so we thought. Jump ahead to August 2016, and we are at Otakon once again (there is roughly 2 chapters left in BLECH) and just like most people, we feel like the series should have ended after Aizen. ( I hate to admit to it though) We did our usual routine, used some new costumes, some old ones, and of course our BLEACH ones.

Then, the last 2 chapters arrive, and needless to say we weren’t happy with the outcome. Of course the biggest shock was that our pairing, the two people we identified with most, the two that seemed like a 100% shoe in thing, in the end, did not end up together. This hurt, a lot, but it wasn’t the only thing. We knew all about the controversy going on for the last few months between Kubo and Jump. So we knew things were rushed, but the whole ending just seemed wrong and not just because of the Ichigo and Rukia parts, but also because every character seemed wrong and things felt like he pulled an Evangelion on the fans. Now I am not here to debate things over the ending, but it is important that I mention all this for the rest of my story.

My other half took the ending much harder than I did. She was terrified to an extent for various reasons. One of the bigger ones was, she was worried about using our costumes ever again. Part in due to the out lash we might get from other BLEACH cosplayers and part was her fear that my emotional state might deteriorate from it. These two fictional people, had been our everything for the last 10+ years. As I stated, they were our go to cosplays, they were our pairing, and they were our engagement. So they mean a lot to us because as I said, they are us and we are them. We share a lot of fond memories that came about because of them. Now this may seem childish to some or even outright dumb but it is hard to just get over something that has been so prominent in your life.

We were both worried about each other and how we would handle the subject going forward and what we would do if the subject was brought up. I assured her of one thing shortly after the ending had happened ‘We will have the ending that they didn’t.” That one line from me to her seem to set her mind at ease some and I think helped her to understand that nothing was going to change between us. Needless to say the ending still baffles us and even gets her upset from time to time but I just keep reminding her that “We will have the ending that they didn’t.” and it always seems to help some. I am sure that over time things will get easier and it won’t bother us as much as it did/does.

Now let us skip ahead once more to the present day. Two anime conventions have passed since the ending of BLEACH and I am pleased to say that nothing has changed. We still behave the same ways we always have, we still have the same personalities, and yes, we have still been using our BLEACH cosplays. Surprisingly (or maybe not) no one has heckled us or given us and crap over it. (I’ve had my share of BS experiences from a cosplay community before so I am a bit surprised honestly). This past weekend was once again Otakon and we once again donned a familiar set of robes and had our fun as always. There was even a BLEACH photoshoot again, granted there was only like 5 or 6 of us that showed up (strange because we saw a lot more BLEACH characters walking around that didn’t show up). The shoot was short and sweet and there was a lot of laughs. At the end though came a surprise, one that I was expecting at all.

My Rukia, grabbed my attention and started off on a cute little speech about this being the 10 year anniversary of my fumbled engagement proposal, needless to say I was a bit caught off guard and embarrassed by what she was doing in public. The embarrassment only worsened at the end, when SHE got down on one knee and (sorta renewed her vows to an extent) and asked if I would stay with her for another 10+ years (yea I know she meant forever but it was worded that way when she said it. :3 ). Being the spaz that I am at times I excepted it my usual way which kinda threw her off but I made a slick recovery (not really but I did fix it). She then presented me with a hand made stuffed bunny (my own Chappy), what made this special was she had managed to sew our Gotei 15 Strawberry pattern into the inner part of the stuffed bunnies ears (the same idea style used my captain’s cloak from way back near the start of this story) for that little extra bit of awesomeness.

I am not sure what more to really say about us. If you spent a day with us (before we discovered BLEACH or even after) you’d swear you were watching Ichigo and Rukia were just going about their normal business with one another in an episode. My other half means everything to me, and no matter what changes in our lives she will continue to be everything to me. She will always be my Rukia and I will always be her Ichigo. It is just the stubborn side of us both that doesn’t want to let them go an probably never will let them go. I don’t feel there is any real reason for us to let them go. As long as we continue to be who we are, they will always be a part of us and honestly I am fine with that. They have been a part of our lives for so long it is hard to imagine them not being there anymore. Sure the series is over but it honestly doesn’t matter, they will always live on as part of us.

I think I have gotten my point across and told enough of our story for now. Maybe one day I will share certain parts of this story in greater detail but for now, I need to sleep. To anyone who actually reads all of this, I thank your for your patience and for reading my little tale of my Rukia and I.
