Even it's so early we only have RAW of Bleach episode 180, the new ending made has caused quite a stir! The 16th Bleach ending, where you can see
Right Here is what to me looks rushed, and somewhat strange looking.
It only shows Rukia (mainly) and Ichigo, contrary to the last ending centered around Orihime and her nakama- making it feel somewhat romantic.
There has been shots of both their hands reaching out, parralel to each other, like reaching out for something or someone. We see Rukia's figure (that looks almost hunched) after that, she starts moving away farther from the screen, fading (I didn't really like how weird she moved away, as she was just moving- not walking or anything). Then there's several flashing colorful lights around her, and several flashing signs. She is still in the dark pose with her face down.
Then it shows an outline of Rukia, and then images shown of her crying and looking depressed. As the camera moves dowsn to where her figure is under a street light.
Rukia is in tight jeans, when she usually is drawn in skirts and dresses in the anime, and is walking around in a dark city, with bright signs and those lights all around. She then has the sun come over the sky scraper, bathing her in sunlight (in a strange perspective or pose, which I thought weird) and then we see Ichigo a few meters away from her on a bridge- and we see him move his lips, saying something (something short like "Rukia") and then shed turns to see him, and they're both staring at each other. We see a close-up of the side of Rukia's head (which I think doesn't look right) and she takes small steps, before starting to run. We see her face that looks stressed, worried, unhappy-like face and Ichigo is smiling. And that's the end.
Even when I was screaming and squealing at the song and video (even making my sister angry) as it was a nice song and decently-made ending (It just looks rushed to me or they were having some trouble drawing Rukia in skinny pants), I knew it was some sort of fanservice- then the thought about the movie being released made me think-
"Oh, Rukia isn't centered in this nakama arc... It must be to gain more popularity for the movie."
And I think it is- which makes us think the movie will be centered around Rukia and Ichigo (also only their names were listed as characters on the official movie website) and that means IchiRuki, either shippy romantic, OOC, or platonic but can't help come off as shippy (The movie will probably have all 3).
But we all must remember even as fanon always likes to add fanservice and filler- not canon. I just think it's a nice ending that centers around Rukia and Ichigo (therefore not labeled as nakama as the last ending and previous as their nakama are no where in the ending) and I kind of like dark or depressed Rukia and Ichigo is still IC.

I now want Gallop. I also feel very spoiled with all of the other IchiRuki shippers this past week or two- when I see my friend's and they ask what I did for summer, I'm going to say "I got very spoiled." But it's not like they will ask me any further as they'll be weirded out.
I also was feeling kind of sick (my sister actually got sick during the night) and I've only had some toast and a lot of water, but it seems to have kept me full.
I'm also glad people have liked my One-shot for Ichigo's birthday- posted the link in the IchiRuki community.
