If other Bleach characters were present for Grimmjow’s speech about hollows and shinigami being natural enemies...

As requested by anon. :)

Phew! Long title! But basically during Grimmjow and Ichigo’s fight in Hueco Mundo, Grimmjow gave this whole speech about how shinigami and hollows are natural enemies. They fight, and whoever loses, dies. That, Grimmjow says, is just how it’s been for thousands of years. And that’s the only reason anyone needs to fight. But let’s say that everyone heard that speech because, um, Gin handed out transcripts or something. How would others react?

Zommari: [single tear]

Zommari: Even a mindless brute like Grimmjow gets it.

Zommari: I am so proud.

Starrk: Man. That sure seems like an exhausting way to live.

Nnoitra: I don’t see why it’s just shinigami Grimmjow thinks he should fight!

Nnoitra: Talk about weak! He should want to fight EVERYONE!

Luppi: Or, at the very least, before making some big speeches, he should try and succeed at fighting someone.

Tosen: So that is Grimmjow’s idea of justice, is it?

Gin: Kinda an awkward “justice” to have, ain’t it, since he works for three shinigami?

Tosen: He never was very good at the big picture.

Aizen: Or perhaps he is asking us to kill him.

Aizen: A pity that he is not strong enough for me to bother. 

Gin: Especially since you’re just so bad at stabbing~

Aizen: I AM NOT THE SUBJECT OF THIS LIST

Ulquiorra: I am confused.

Ulquiorra: Grimmjow claims that the loser must die.

Ulquiorra: Yet he beat Kurosaki multiple times and did not kill him.

Grimmjow: Yeah, ‘cause certain SOMEBODIES kept interrupting me!

Ulquiorra: It is not our fault that you can never manage to finish. 

Rukia: Okay, but why would you direct this speech at Ichigo?

Rukia: He’s a human hollow Quincy fullbringer shinigami!

Rukia: He’s the least clear-cut example you could choose!

Renji: Plus it’s, like, impossible to fight Ichigo without becoming his friend.

Renji: I would know.

Nel: Yeah! Grimmjow loves Itsygo!

Nel: Nel can tell!

Orihime: Grimmjow certainly has grown a lot, huh?

Orihime: I remember when he was our enemy.

Orihime: Now he’s helping us. He didn’t try to kill Urahara. He didn’t try to kill Kurosaki-kun. He’s here, fighting alongside the shinigami he once said he’d destroy!

Grimmjow: Hey. I am so killing you all as soon as this is over.

Orihime: Okay, Grimmjow. Whatever you say!

Grimmjow: STOP PATTING ME ON THE HEAD

Ichigo: My friends are so great.

Bonus! Kuroshitsuji S1E1

Mey-Rin’s love for Sebastian is blatantly obvious.

[aniiviews-blog]

Kuroshitsuji S1E1 | Part 2

Then we cut to the daily duties of Sebastian as head butler. Polishing the silverware, clipping the roses, preparing dinner, you know, all the stuff he previously asked the other three to start doing.

Isn’t he just so graceful? Then that little punk of a master calls him to the study. He wants some sweet parfait or something. Meanwhile, here comes the damage part of damage control.

The most troublesome trio in the world when it comes to everyday housework. Finnian just had to use “extra strength weed killer” while Mey-Rin toppled the china cabinet trying to reach a tea set, all the while Baldroy had the brilliant idea of “Too much meat? FLAMETHROWER!” 

Sebastian is not pleased. 

Okay, so from there Sebastian decides that oh! A japanese style dinner will be perfect, raw beef donburi outside in a rock garden hastily made in the front of the manor. Then, Ciel decides to play Devil’s advocate while it’s all being prepared by playing a game with Mr. Damian, who manages to lose a turn, be bewitched by the eyes of the dead and lose a leg in the enchanted forest and has his body burnt by raging flames.

Now, all fun and games right? Until Ciel reveals he knows Mr. Damian sold the East India factory and was just trying to scam him out of more money for what he called an “expansion” of the factory. This is when sh** gets real. 

“Bewitched by the eyes of the dead.” Mr. Damian starts to see “ghosts.”

“Lose a leg in the enchanted forest.” Mr. Damian falls down stairs and has his right leg twisted all around like he just was mauled by a meat grinder. 

Now, having “lost a leg in the enchanted forest” he can only move half the number of spaces. He rolls a 6 but can only move 3. This in turn means he’s slower than before the loss of his leg.

“Your body is burnt by raging flames.” Mr. Damian proceeds to “run” away from Sebastian only to corner himself in, oh is that a cupboard? Nope. It’s the oven.

Now, you will think that since he’s gone through all this and his body is burnt because Sebastian locks him in the oven, he’s dead right? Wrong. The last space, moved to by Ciel is “Happy End.” 

This means, as far as we know, that poor sap lives. In the distance you can hear Mr. Damian scream, “MAMA MIA!” Which, of course my brain automatically goes straight to Mario.

Well, he somewhat got a happy ending I guess? You know, probably horribly burned and disfigured but, alive. Though, in a way I doubt he really wants to be after all that. 

In the end Ciel reveals that he knew all along Mr. Damian was just trying to scam him. All in all, the first episode is really crazy. I mean, you think getting into it despite the beginning with the contract and all, that it’ll be kind of one of those cutesy hero-sidekick animes.

Yeah, not even close. Once you get out of the first episode, you’re in for a real wild ride! Well, that does it for this review, I hope you enjoyed it and tomorrow will bring what I’m sure is, another interesting episode of Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji!

[aniiviews-blog]

Kuroshitsuji S1E1 | Part 1

Well, where to start? I remember when I first watched this episode and thought: wow, this anime is gonna be one of those really nice, cool animes. Yeah. Sure. How foolish I was to think that. It starts off pretty simply with Ciel making his contract with Sebastian.

Yeah, should really be a dead giveaway that this anime is not gonna be cute, despite the fact it centers around a 12-13 year old boy and his demon butler (sidekick). 

This episode focuses on a (sort of) normal day for Ciel and his servants: Sebastian, Mey-Rin, Baldroy, Finnian and Tanaka. When Sebastian wakes Ciel up and reads off what is available for breakfast, I had no idea what “mint salad” even was.

I wasn’t honestly sure I wanted to know but I looked it up anyways.

Apparently there are many different types of mint salad but the main one seems to consist of mostly cucumbers and, shocker, mint. Moving away from food, Sebastian clearly states Ciel has two meetings for the day with Mr. Hughes and Mr. Damian. 

We never see the one with Mr. Hughes and I honestly wish we would but let’s just skip straight to the more interesting one with Mr. Damian why don’t we? Now, after this Ciel asks if Mr. Damian is the man in charge of stuffed animals in his factory in India.

Yeah, it is and apparently he’s also Italian as noted by Sebastian shortly after. I would love to know why an Italian is working for an Englishman in a factory in India. I can see working for Ciel, despite him being you know, a child. However, I am somewhat unsure why he’d relocate to work in a factory in India if he’s Italian.

That isn’t just a hop, a skip and a jump, they are at least 12 hours away from each other. Even flying that would take a pretty long time. Though, we are shown his greed for money later on so I suppose it makes some sense. 

Now, when Ciel gets his morning tea he smells it right off the bat, much like many of us sniff candles in stores. Don’t try and hide it, you know you do it. Ciel then proceeds to say, “I know this smell. Is this tea Earl Gray?” 

English or not, I’m wondering just how much of this tea he’s had to know the specific kind. He’s thirteen, at least, I’m pretty sure that’s at least one cup a day practically since he was able to talk for him to know which kind it is. I could smell one candle once a day and still not be able to tell you which scent it is.

Sebastian proceeds to exit after dressing Ciel fully and this little punk just decides to throw a dart at the back of Sebastian’s head. Sebastian catches it of course, insisting they save the games for later. I’m unsure if Ciel was intending on actually hitting him since it was at least an inch or so from Sebastian’s head when caught.

If he was intending to do this, does he think that’s going to kill him? Ciel is perfectly aware this man is a demon, so, what’s his endgame with that? Is it really just to be playful because to me he looked awfully serious after throwing it.

This kid really woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning.

After the initial intro title “His butler, Able” it cuts to show us the three (most useless outside of a military defense system) other servants of the house, Baldroy, Mey-Rin and Finnian. Finnian is the unfortunate soul who is next targeted by Ciel’s dart throwing. Right in the back of his little strawberry head. 

Poor kid. He’s just a gardener Ciel, geez. You know, after seeing that though all I could think of was that really deep, kind of Mortal Kombat, voice saying “HEADSHOT.” Then I was wondering why Ciel even decided to take a dart to Breakfast, why’d he pick Finnian to hit and to answer that, all he said to Finnian was, “I don’t need to justify my actions.” 

After this painful ordeal, Sebastian barges in all boss-like and asks Finnian if he’s finished weeding the garden. no, of course he hasn’t he was busy being a dartboard. No, Mey-Rin hasn’t washed the sheets and Baldroy has not started prepping for the night’s dinner meeting. 

Oh, let’s not forget Tanaka.

Yeah, no he’s fine. Let him sip his tea like any happy old man that only says “ho ho ho” like he’s Santa Clause.

Then there’s those looks your mom gives you when you still haven’t cleaned your room/done any of your chores.

Sebastian, scaring kids (and adults) since 2008. 👍👍👍
