i still can't believe that's what we got?
even after every review saying 'it's for the fans'
even after the trailers being so incredible and explicitly queer and romantic
even after seeing the way that djenks talks about the characters
i still cannot believe we got those 3 episodes

must feel nice to abandon buddie for a fucking plot device that isn't gonna be around for long. i can't with buddie fans, where's the f'n loyalty to the story and relationship being told for 6 seasons. It's disgusting how quick you all are to throw them in the trash and for what!? The dude from season two, are you fucking kidding me?
oh anon ive been waiting for you. you're so fucking funny, i'm giggling away over here oh my god.
first of all, what about any of my recent posts makes you think i've abandoned buddie??? just a couple of examples LOL:
second of all, i'm incredibly loyal to the story and buddie, to quote the wonderful ash call me crazy but i love to watch the story unfold. sorry i don't want buddie just getting together immediately in the most boring "hey i think im gay and in love with you" "hey i think im gay and in love with you!!!" way, sorry if i like a little drama, a little conflict, a couple of twists and turns. actually not sorry. only sorry you don't know how to enjoy shit anon it must be a very sad little life you lead!!
third of all, that dude from season two is about to help buck figure out his sexuality and is also himself a great example of a complex queer character on a prime time tv show. we've got barely anything of him but his character is so rich. his growth from his bigoted attitudes in season 2 to this man who is willing to put everything on the line for the 118, who had to face homophobia in his workplace as a queer man and obviously his own internalised homophobia, and has come out of it so confident and ready to help facilitate someone else's realisation and treat them so well.
sorry i'm just a better buddie fan than you 🤷♀️

Since I guess I'm a person who talks about Bleach right now I may as well talk about the latest (dub) episode given I actually do have a few thoughts about it
First off I suppose I'll talk about Gremmy. And by suppose I mean I was always going to bring this up, no matter how small a slice of the episode actually addresses him, and you cannot escape it. So Kenpachi mentions that everything Gremmy conjured vanished when he died—there's no ontological inertia. His construct-body disappears along with all the blood that was inside it, the platform he summoned crumbles apart (I can't tell if it vanished entirely or if the rubble stuck around, which is another point of consternation)... but, frankly, I feel like the way the lack of ontological inertia is handled is really inconsistent and raises some questions as to how much kiddo's powers really are dependent on maintaining concentration. Kenpachi mentions at one point during the fight that Yachiru's bones returned to normal since Gremmy couldn't "mess with two minds at the same time" and yet that's... not what he does? He's making a concrete construct in reality, not an illusion in one person's mind. The platform, the meteor, Gwenael Lee, etc. were all visible to and could effect multiple people, and Gremmy easily maintained concentration on the platform while fighting Kenpachi with... well, everything else he did. I was going to say that I couldn't think of any point where he had three creations out at once, but Yachiru's bones continued to be cookies even through the first bit of the fight, so.
Furthermore, we have to talk about the meteor. Because kiddo did summon a meteor, and he very much talked as though it did have ontological inertia, going so far as to say that even if Kenpachi somehow killed him, the meteor would still wipe out the Seireitei. This could be explained as him bluffing, except... there's not much point to the bluff? I can't honestly expect that he thought he could demoralize Kenpachi, and he definitely didn't expect him to fight the meteor, and I can't think of another reason to bluff. Kid really was in "if I can't win I'm dragging him down with me" mentality. Maybe (tentative maybe) he figured that the heat from the meteor would still decimate the Soul Reapers (and also the Quincy, his allies, and frankly I can understand any reservations anyone might have about letting him loose on Soul Society), but it still doesn't sit right with me.
Moving on from that essay: we get to see the girls! Kubo may not properly respect women but it's always the girls who have the banter and the dynamics. It started with Hallibel's squad and now we have these five—or four, as Bambietta's missing in this episode.
These girls would, all said, be much happier if they abandoned the Quincy army and went off to be the protagonist squad of a magical girl anime. They have cool transformations! Matching purses! They call their attacks in a more wonderful way than pretty much anyone else in Bleach—and this is Bleach we're talking about. Giselle is clearly having more fun than anyone else (she cheered for her enemy at one point!) but they're all enjoying themselves. Except maybe Candice. Their teamwork leaves a bit to be desired, but hey, at least they seem to be pretty good at not dying even when they should.
Then at last the gang is all here and Ichigo can feel properly betrayed. God do I hope Uryu knows what he's doing...

just wanna talk about how I literally forgot I was watching an apocalyptic zombie show for a minute?
like, seeing Sarah go about her day, Tommy letting himself in and raiding the refrigerator, Joel complaining about work. and how there are these little hints that the world is going to shit but for the Miller family, it's just a normal weekday. just a family living their life, having breakfast, celebrating Joel's birthday. Joel and Tommy go to work, Sarah goes to school. it's just an ordinary day. and then Sarah's baking cookies and picking out a movie to watch with her dad and suddenly Nana Adler starts exhibiting signs of the infection and you go "Oh! oh yeah, there are zombies in this. this is the day the literal zombie apocalypse starts" and you get to watch how that normal day for this normal family takes a turn to absolute devastation as the world ends.
