Bleach: Episode 11

Surprise, surprise. Another decent and hilarious episode from this shonen title. Maybe this Quincy arc will be the turning point of the otherwise pale adaptation of the manga.

Compared to the angst-y characters from other fighting anime *cough*Sasuke*cough*, I find the quirky Ishida sort-of refreshing. Sure, he reeks of angst but at the same time he manages to balance it out with his odd hobbies. How can one dislike this character at first sight when one realizes he is part of his school’s handicraft club?

BTW, Rukia’s acting skill gets better and better. I love that gal.
