I'm more of a Isshin/Ryuuken fan myself....especially after the latest....fu fu fu..XXDD!

And you HAVE to love Aizen, just for the pure genius of him...

w00t!

*snorts* I've seen/read NOTHING beyond the SS arc yet, so...

No, no I do not think that I love Aizen. Very grudgingly respect and even admire his talents and despise and the fact that such a character could earn such a reaction from me, yes, but not love. *shakes head*

Oh! Then I won't spoil you then...*trying so hard not to spoil....* You barely know the arrancars yet..or not at all really. They are the bad guys I LOVE to hate (or at least fangirl). They are the perfect foils to our shinigami.

Gin is the one who gives me the major creeps....and I just want to bash Tousen in the head. You'll learn to appreciate more of Aizen's genius as you go along (not to mention Urahara's...)

I'm not even gonna ask...

Yeah, all I know is people referencing the names/pics in icons and stuff, and so on.

Gin, from the moment I first saw the character, my impression of him was overwhelmingly "snake". I mean, seriously. Immediate association upon seeing him. So he really hasn't surprised me, though I do find him a little pitiful. Tousen... *sigh* he needs some sense physically knocked into him. And some spine. >_>

I'm not sure I *want* to appreciate Aizen's genius. -_-;; And Urahara has always rocked, so nyah. ;p
From: [identity profile] kageisuke.livejournal.com
Aaaa, you know nothing of arrancars... Get your manga post haste and skip to 24, all the rest be damned!

I never liked Ichimaru, and though I enjoy bastard backstabbing characters far more than I should, he just rubs me in the completely wrong way... Therey's a reason why I call him 'Nyaaaa', too...

Appreciate 'that bastard's' genuis for carrying on the plot of Bleach, if nothing else. ::headdesk:: So many things I wanna say about him that I can't cus they will spoil you... ::blinks:: If you don't want to be spoiled, you SO friended the wrong person! ::shot by Manda::

Eh, I'll probably skip to the end of the SS arc, at least. Or something like that. Maybe overlap a little bit to get myself used to the specialized vocabulary of the series, though I probably already know most of it as it is... >_>;;

Gin is, well, pitiful. He's weak, and cowardly, and I probably don't dislike him so much as dislike what he does and feel sorry for him being so weak like that. Or something, hard to explain.

Oh, and I probably have a good grasp of Aizen just from the end of the SS arc. I seem to have a knack for nailing down characters' personalities in my first impressions of them...

Eh, whenever I read posts made by the Bleach fans on my friends page, I automatically have my anti-spoiler defenses up at full strength, and usually only need barely glance at a post for it to register as "safe, read all" or "spoilers! stay away!!"

Ohhh as much as I would love to get into character analysis mode, I will refrain, cus it takes too long... but I get what you mean... I do wonder what you think of Kira htough... ::snickers::

The end of the SS arc definitely gives you pretty much everything you could ask for. It's DURING the SS arc where he decieves you... Makes me think of that Aizen/Momo AMV to the Song Angel's by Within Temptations where the key phrase that repeats over and over in my head is:

The Smile where you tore me apart...
You took my heart, deceived me right from the start


[/end random song]

Anti-spoiler-dar is a great thing. I wish I had it for my ears since one of my friends enjoys going 'Oh, and this part was good ::starts talking::' Aa don't spoil me! 'No, no it isn't a spoiler, just listen!' Just let me read it myself, damnit!

Kira... eh, I could say stuff, but that'd take up space and time, and I'm being distractable right now. ;p

Yes... the thing is though, Aizen was one of the few characters that I couldn't remember my first impression of him. Tousen being the other one. Just too many characters introduced at once, I didn't have time to fully register all of them. The only things I *can* remember about my thoughts upon first seeing Aizen, in that scene with all the captains assembled, was something about him looking like a salaryman, and being struck as that being maybe a little too ordinary? I really have no idea what I thought of him at first though, which now after the fact greatly frustrates me. -_-;;

I did, however, know with absolute certainty that there was no way Gin was the culprit behind Aizen's "death", and that while he was suspicious, he wasn't the ringleader. I just couldn't pinpoint who the ringleader actually was, because no one else (alive) qualified, and as I said Aizen was one of the characters I didn't get a chance to fully look at at first.

Yes, 'tis very useful. Also included is an ability to actually *forget* certain amounts of spoilers immediately after seeing them, if attention is averted quickly enough. However, seeing the same spoiler again starts to reinforce it in memory, so it's not something that can be repeated constantly.
From: [identity profile] abandonreality.livejournal.com
I also figured Gin wasn't the culprit at the beginning because, pfft, too obvious...but I think he is more than a coward...he holds his cards really close, I don't think he is as loyal as Aizen really thinks he is....

And I try not to spoil, dammit! *pouts*

*snickers* Poor you ;p

Well, yeah, the too obvious thing was another big tipoff. But as I pointed out to one of my friends when he watched the series, he was speculating that Gin might not be the one pulling all the strings, where I was dead certain he could not be the mastermind.

Gin is... well, as I was thinking last night, Gin's like the kid in the class who comes from a home where his parents don't love each other, and who hits the other kids because he doesn't know any other way to express himself. He's at once both envious and fearful of the affection other people show each other, and desires it, but doesn't know how to get it, and in the occasional case he does, what to do with it. So he falls back on the only way he does know how to deal with people- hitting them.

He's probably not irredeemable, I think his regret and apology to Matsumoto was genuine, but on the other hand, he again just doesn't know how to love or be loved. He isn't loyal to Aizen, no, not in the way Tousen would be. He has no loyalty to the cause, just his own self-interest, and the fact that he knows that he can't hit Aizen, because Aizen hits harder. And that's something Gin does understand. If he thought he could get away with it, he'd have nothing stopping him from hitting Aizen and betraying him. He simply right now knows that he can't. And Aizen is probably well aware of this too, I doubt he would've taken Gin on without being well aware of what kind of person and temperment he was dealing with...

'That bastard' is a sly one...

Bah, distractions...

My first impression was probably, 'emo glasses' to be honest. He really did fade away with all the other's introduced. He also looked the gentlest out of everyone, besides Ukitake... And I laugh at your frustration! Bohahahaha!

I just raised my eyebrow and went with the flow. I rarely analyze a show/manga while I'm watching it unless it's just SO obvious. I only ever start to speculate when I get deep into a fandom, like what I did with Death Note. ::whistles::

I convieniently 'forgot' the spoiler Asahu told me about the 6th book of Harry Potter from halfway through the 1st book until the very last part in the 6th when I remember 'Oh shit! *That* still hasn't happened yet!

If Gin's a snake, Aizen's a fox....

From: [identity profile] acdragonmaster.livejournal.com
*snickers* Well, the thing with me is, I don't necessarily *try* to analyze things, so much as stuff just pops up to me. More than one occasion, I've been watching a seres in anime club, and within about 5 episodes or so will have picked out an interesting character and be commenting on them. And the rest of club will be like "o_O what the heck are you talking about, that guy's just a jerk!" or similar such exclamation.

Then we keep watching, and get over halfway into the series, or even up near the end, and there'll be some new plot development and flashback, and suddenly the rest of the club now shares my opinion of that character I'd had from the start. So there's a very distinct chance that, had I not been overwhelmed by characters all being introduced at once (and I'm terrible at names, so that made it worse), I might have had bad feelings about Aizen right from the start....

If Aizen is a fox, it must be hunting season...!

I usually like the 'I get my ass kicked all the time but I'm *trying* dammit!' characters. It might have something to do with my love for redheads. And the outright jerks I always like [in anime, not real life] because I'm jst waiting for the 'explaination' behind their assholism. Like Neji from Naruto... Though, really, it's 50% personality even without his past...

I know many VAs too that I like. Crispin Freeman [Togasa : GitS and Holland : Eureka 7] is my fave VA right now, though it used to be Brian Drummond [Zechs Marquise : Gundam Wing and Vegeta 1 : DBZ] but he faded away. ::sighs:: For some reason, female VA and seiyuu don't stick to me. I can ramble of a list of them, but I can never remember who they played. Megumi Hayashibara I can always pick out though, if it's a comdey role she's playing... [It also means the OP and ED are probably sung by her, too! ::laughs::]

Good point. *loads shotgun*

I tend to like... eh, I dunno. Usually characters that're fairly complex, but not always in obvious ways. It's sometimes almost seemingly random which character I'll pick out to latch onto, but I generally pick well, as it'll turn out in the end. And eh, for the jerk characters, I seem to tend to *know* whether they'll have a legitimate reason for it or not, if that makes any sense...

I know a lot of Funimation and ADV VAs, largely thanks to stuff like FMA. I don't really pay *that* much attention to the dubs and dub cast, other than curiosity and critical analysis and such.

Though I still say they should get Chris Sabat to do the dub voice of Don Kanonji.... XD

::dawns chaps::jumps on a horse:: Let's go!

I enjoy complex characters too, because they're fun to tear into! :D Though, in any given series, if a character dies, I have managed to pick him/her as my favorite. Hagaren, Chrono Crusade, PeaceMaker Kurogane, Death Note, even Geneshaft, they just die. I'm waiting for Renji to be killed any moment now...

I know lots of Funimation and ADV, too. I only know a few Viz because really, all I watched of theirs is Inu Yasha and Hanayori Dango. [And, sadly, the dub of HYDango is SO much better than the sub to me. Sango's VA as Tsukushi was a good choice, but anyway...]

I'm still reeling over Kon's voice... I don't ever want to hear it again... but I have to, because he's a main/semi-main character like Tatsuki was until the SS arc... Don Kanoji = scary

I believe that should be "dons" not "dawns"...

Oh yes, it's more fun to analyze if there's stuff there to analyze. speaking of did you see my little rambling comment on Gin above? And I don't think I've tended to land on the characters that die, it's usually the ones that get written off for one thing or another right away (such as being a jerk, etc) and then later you find out ooohh so much about them that now everything they're up to makes *sense*. Like Roy in FMA, who comes across as arrogant and all that until you actually get to know his character.

I also apparently have an uncanny ability at times to pick out the character(s) I'm most similar just by seeing them, and not knowing anything about them at the time, at all. >_>;;

*snickers* I dunno, I'm firmly in the different != better/worse camp, I just prefer subs on principle, but tend to view dubs as objectively as possible. And yes, Kanonji is scary. So is Armstrong in FMA. Which Sabat does a beautiful job of, hence me suggesting him for Kanonji. XD
From: [identity profile] kageisuke.livejournal.com
I liked Roy because he burns things. But my favorite male characters were Hughes, Greed, and Havoc. We all know what happens to the first two, and in the manga, they so royally effed with Havoc it isn' funny. If they don't die, then they get the short end of the stick. ::shakes head:: My favorite female character is Riza, because she WILL shoot you if you step over the line. ::backs away from it:: We just met him, but I think Ling will become a favorite of mine, if not just because of his character design.

I'm not sure their's a character that can fully display my idiocies and contradictions tot he extremes that I have them...

I prefer subs, but I won't knock dubs and watch them all the time on TV. Any voice I can get used to, whether I like it or not, and it's always funnest thing to watch a new dub with your friends and rack your brain trying to figure out which VA each character has. Armstrong is fun though... if not a little... yeah... I call him Mr. Picco-strong

*insert witty remark here*

Date: 2006-09-14 02:52 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] acdragonmaster.livejournal.com
Yeah, Roy's just... interesting. On a lot of levels. Especially in the manga. And Riza is very cool too. *nods* And Arakawa knows how to maul her characters, yes. ;_;

Some characters seem to come scarily close for me. -_-;;;;;;

Well, there's also looking up the VAs' other roles before you even start watching the dub... ;p

::insert even snarkier comment here::

Date: 2006-09-14 02:57 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kageisuke.livejournal.com
Yes... maul them... Arakawa must hate us, just a little...

But that isn't fun! For major series I don't want effed up, I look, but for others that just pop on TV randomly, I don't look until after to make sure I'm right...

*insert ultimate snarkiness*

Heh... heh heh... those stories make me beat my head against the wall... but they're some of my favorites... I really need to finish reading Monster...

...but how many languages do you speak/write fluently?
From: [identity profile] acdragonmaster.livejournal.com
Hehe, yes...

Fluently? English. >_> I can read Japanese fairly well if there's furigana for the kanji, though I have some books without furigana I need to get to reading for the practice. Writing isn't quite as good, though I tend to have good grammar, just need to look up a lot of words. I also took Spanish in high school and still seem to be able to read a fair amount, though don't ask me to speak it. Want to learn more languages, though.
From: [identity profile] kageisuke.livejournal.com
I can read Japanese fine with the furigana... Now *understanding* what I'm reading is completely different... I can write the two basic systems, but kanji pwns me... I can understand far more listening than I can speak for just about any language I know any of. I took spanish in highschool for 3 years and one year of japanese. I can honestly say I remember more japanese than spanish... I want to learn Japanese and have a least a passing understanding of Spanish... keywords are everything for my understanding...

*nods* I understand a good deal of what I read in Japanese, but it's that kinda subconcious, back of the mind level understanding, I can't translate it without a dictionary. But the more I read, the more I learn, so I just keep on reading manga in Japanese.
