anyway, i just watched bleach 98 this morning. i wanted to rant about how beautiful and amazingly un-angsty the opening song is, but my brain wasn't functioning this morning. also, i have a few questions to ask.
wondering about the way and order the characters appear in the opening animation. is there any significance? and there are some scenes which don't even appear for one whole second.. went through the opening meticulously to get these shots, if you're just watching the thing whole you'll probably miss these.
ichigo opens off(like always) but i didn't get a shot of that. XD
starting off, we have ichigo, orihime, chad and ishida(as it should be), with a possible urahara at the top of the screen.
then we have matsumoto glomping hitsugaya.
rukia, all alone?
urahara and yoruichi.
following those are a secies of short clips overlapping, some so fast you can barely catch them.
this ichigo is an example.
as is this renji.
ooh, orihime running.
it's dark, so you might have missed chad.
i didn't notice ishida at all.. hmm.
matsumoto.
a possible hitsugaya bankai shot?
and of course, darling ichigo fighting his beloved hollow side.
there were some flashes of vizard ichigo, with the hollow mask on but again i didn't manage to catch those. too short.
zangetsu.
i suppose that's orihime..
but who's she? orihime too? if it's orihime.. this has kinda scary implications.
another shot.
matsumoto being hugged..
who's foot is that, hitsugaya?
a quick flash of the almost-forgotten hinamori.
gin!
how could it be complete without aizen.
ichigo and sunset.
a few of these strange white flashes, wonder if they have any meaning.
can you pick out hollow!ichigo?
check out the number of lines visible on the mask..
and well, the rest isn't worth taking screenshots of, but it's really beautiful. XD
any thoughts?
there have been some scenes i missed, and i'll be adding them on later. =)
comments, anyone?
