Imagine this chain of events:
1) “One Piece” live action is a massive success. Apparently, it broke a lot of Netflix records and outperformed “Stranger Things” and “Wednesday”.
2) A few months later, Netflix’s live action “Avatar the Last Airbender” also turns out to be a success. (For the sake of this post, ATLA’s success is more of an add-on rather than a requirement).
3) HBO sees Netflix’s success and immediately looks for anime shows to adapt. They quickly adopt Netflix’s strategy for “One Piece” in that they’re gonna bring in the original author as an executive producer. To compete with Netflix, they pick “Bleach” and “Hellsing” mainly because those shows are dark, which fits HBO’s style.
4) Simultaneously, Amazon does the same thing as HBO and Netflix. They pick “Naruto” and “Fullmetal Alchemist” as their shows.
5) Last but not least, Disney Plus gets in on the craze. Since they’re family friendly, they go with “Sailor Moon” and “Dragonball Z” (obviously, Disney already has experience with action-adventure franchises with super-powered people).
The end result: Because of Netflix breaking the anime-to-live action curse with “One Piece”, they cause a butterfly effect that ushers the return of the era of 2000s anime.

What’s something about bleach that you could talk about for hours ?
ONE WAY SYMPATHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay. let's backpedal.
chapter 24 of bleach, titled 'one way sympathies' or 'one-sided sympathies,' depending on your translation, is actually one of the greatest bleach chapters of all time. it's probably one of my favorite chapters, and i think it has some of the best, most excellently-executed writing in the series!
first of all, one-way sympathies happens in the memories in the rain volume, which is already a great volume for the way it sets up ichigo's motivations, ichigo and rukia's growing friendship, the kurosaki family dynamic, but also...it's just a good volume. the grand fisher fight is one of the most memorable early fights in bleach, and everything from the cemetery setting to the way the story cuts between past and present is perfectly balanced.
the reason i focus on one way sympathies, though, is orihime.
Tumblr media
even though the volume is all about ichigo's relationship with his mother, and, ostensibly, his relationship with despair, the volume opens with orihime's poem, and orihime on the cover. and the reason for it is obvious: kubo spends this entire volume laying down the theme of "rain" for the first time. it's a visual metaphor that will show up several times in bleach, mostly as a way to denote ichigo's despair, but interestingly enough, it shows up again in everything but the rain, well before ichigo is even born.
the thing about the rain and the poem here is that its a clear reference to the tanabata legend, and in case it wasn't obvious, kubo makes it more obvious with a) the poem and b) orihime herself, who is named after the princess in the legend.
even though the grand fisher fight really only has two relevant characters (rukia and ichigo), kubo makes the interesting decision to have tatsuki be narrator as well, with orihime as her confidant in chapter 18.
Tumblr media
if you look at the plot, two things are happening at the same time: 1) the kurosaki family, rukia, and kon are at the cemetery (ichigo will go on to fight grand fisher in the next few chapters) and 2) orihime and tatsuki are at tatsuki's house, talking about the event that changed ichigo forever—his mother's death. plot #1 is full of action and plot #2 is just two characters sitting on a bed, talking about the protagonist's past. we could have done without the orihime and tatsuki scene and still had a complete picture of what actually happened on june 17th (as ichigo later narrates it to us, the audience). but having orihime there changes so many things and actually highlights how integral she is to the storytelling in this volume!
orihime's poem always gets brought up because of how it mentions the rain, but it also mentions "earth" and "sky" which are again two visual metaphors kubo uses frequently.
Tumblr media
in one-way sympathies, and especially in this page, orihime is on the earth, looking up at the sky. she specifically looks up at the sky as a way to talk to ichigo, who is somewhere else physically, but connected to her emotionally, because she's just heard the truth about his mother's death. she says, "what do i feel for you? kindness? one-sided sympathy? i feel like now i understand you a little better, ichigo." ironically, the rain, which kept the lovers apart in the tanabata legend, brings the characters together in bleach. orihime connects to ichigo's pain and the way kubo shows this is by having her walk home in the rain, an element that connects the earth and sky.
kubo actually uses rain, earth and sky again in everything but the rain, and he uses it in a very similar way to how he did it in MITR. i mean, look at the way both isshin and masaki look at the sky when they're thinking about each other:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it was raining the night isshin and masaki met. again, in this case, the rain has connected two realms that might have never otherwise connected (shinigami and quincy, isshin and masaki).
while the rain itself is full of pain, sorrow, despair, it actually ends up connecting people because they can understand each others' loneliness, their grief, their despair. this is such a clever use of the tanabata legend, where the rain is seen as both agent of separation and agent of union. horrible things have happened in the rain, but connections have been made too! just like the rain connects earth and sky, can two hearts be joined when you let someone in? let them see you at your most vulnerable?
anyway, coming back. the thing about ichigo is that his despair is usually so thick, so heavy, that you could compare him to a cloud!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
his despair makes it rain, and his resolve usually dries it back up. you'll often see characters remark how hot it was or how there wasn't a single cloud in the sky until ichigo's despair looms and looms and somehow brings all the clouds together. ichigo's connection with the rain is almost like magical realism in action, and it makes it hard for him to connect to the people in his life truly, even if he really loves them. in that sense, his view of rain is quite traditional to the legend. he can't connect back with anyone when it's raining, which is why i'm guessing the chapter was titled one-way sympathies in the first place.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the great thing about orihime is that she's not afraid of a little rain, and that in itself is such a great metaphor for how attuned she is to ichigo's suffering and how she doesn't mind weathering a few storms with him. it's probably not that deep, but kubo has repeatedly shown her embracing the stormy weather (i feel like walking [in the rain] tonight; even the rain is fun) with an umbrella and a sunny attitude, though i'm inclined to believe it's the latter and not the former that helps her survive the rain. despite ichigo's efforts to push people away, they have all managed to get closer, but it's interesting that kubo includes her here when she's not related to the fight at all. while rukia is an obvious choice, plot-wise, considering her status as ichigo's guide to all things shinigami, the inclusion of orihime seems more deliberate, more purposeful. we could have gone without her, so the choice is all the more blatant here.
to summarize: the way this chapter/volume...
1) uses apt visual metaphors that look striking and contribute to the storytelling
2) showcases ichigo's relationship with orihime, tatsuki, rukia, his dad and his mom all at once by having a tightly focused cast
3) sets up an important metaphor that is going to be used again and again in the future
4) uses myths and fables in an interesting way that doesn't need over-explaining because the imagery of orihime + rain does a good enough job on its own for the learned reader...
5) plants seeds within the ichihime dynamic that will go on to have many evolutions until the end of the manga
....is truly just peak bleach!

kagura bachi made me cave under peer pressure in record time (approx. 30 minutes) and ive now read the first chapter twice
Tumblr media
its fucking COOL!!! you can see the influences everywhere from a bunch of diff sources, the plain expressions remind me a lot of Mob Psycho wheras the action screams Bleach and Chainsaw Man. this series has immense potential as a full-on Slasher series and already has some amazingly well done action scenes like the one above. the swordplay has a super dynamic "circular" feel to it thats really impressive to follow

After further investigation it has come to my attention that the httyd fandom on tik tok is not only incredibly racist but also dramatic crybabies (note my lack of surprise)
I was gonna be like "shout-out to that one asshole" and then thought of too many incidents for "one asshole" to be appropriate
