Star and the Tramp...

Aw. Bleach Dub.

After the mountain of crap that was Spiderman 3, you are a balm to my soul. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but I didn't cringe very much through The Star and the Tramp, and that's all I can really ask for, isn't it? Chibi-Rukia's VA was actually cute. Though, I gotta say that English-Renji kinda lacked the emotion of Japanese-Renji. His "RUKIA!!!" didn't pack the same punch. Plus, having "Gotei 13" replaced with "Thirteen Court Guardians" is kinda hard to get used to.

But, eh. As far as dubs go, I still give this one an A-. But watching it reminded me that I really want Renji to get some kind of lovin' before Bleach ends. Rukia's not in love with him. "Brother box" and all. I accept that, because IchiRuki is my OTP. However, a "yeah, I kinda maybe had feelings for you once" would suffice to console me that the poor boy hasn't really been wasting over half a century for absolutely nothing. *Pets Renji*

Aw Renji. I don't think it's possible for me to love him more. Which channel is showing Bleach? I have Cartoon Network and Nick, maybe someday they will have it here too.

Poor Renji. I don't think she's in love with him and I don't think she ever was (though I could see the whole childhood sweethearts first kiss that didn't exactly mean anything heavy thing.) The whole Kaien thing indicates to me that, while she obviously still cared for and missed Renji, she wasn't having the romantic feelings that would get her hung up on him like he was. I don't know, it's late, ask me tomorrow and I can maybe explain my feelings on this better.

I'm used to the translation "a star and a stray dog," so "the star and the tramp" makes me think of Lady and the Tramp. Given Renji's dog thing, that's probably not inappropriate.

I agree with this statement ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT. Thats why I cringed.

Who would Renji be with, though? (As if Bleach is ever going to end...)

Heh. Good, I'm glad it sucks. I had no desire to see it and now I have been confirmed that my suspicions that it would suck were correct. Good ridens to the whole trilogy. The second one was...not memorable...I can't even remember what happened because it was just ongoing action crap and the first one was WAY overrated.
