I hope Orihime gives up on the whole 'crush on Ichigo' thing soon, watching her getting all love-love over him while he barely notices she exists is painful. She's so much more awesome when she's not around him anyway.

More good Orihime pics!

Isn't she like one of the top students at her school? It's possible for a highly intelligent person be somewhat.. absent-minded as well.

Ok guys, let's be fair here... Bleach isn't the greatest series for character development. Especially in the female characters. And while I admit I haven't been the biggest Orihime fan, I like that she's getting somewhat more attention in the Hueco Mundo arc allowing for her character to show that she isn't just some ditzy chick with big boobs.

And yes, she actually is one of the top students of her school. She's just very eccentric, IMO. She's lived on her own for so long she's just kind of learned to make a living out of what she has.

*shrugs* I personally think all the female characters in Bleach are seriously lacking in a lot of ways so it's not fair to really to pin down one as weak without picking on another.

Really the Hueco Mundo arc is just Rukia and Orihime trading places, they're both just as useless as the other. Rukia just happens to have her powers now. Up until now Rukia was just as weak as Orihime, and in my opinion, just as annoying.

Here have some Ulquiorra/Orihime.

I didn't like Orihime until the Hueco Mundo arc. Now I love her! Probably because she hasn't used those dumbass flowerspirit things in a while. I hated those things. "lol she's a cute girly girl! Her power should come from her flower hairpins yayyy"

emotional image is emotional
what are we to suspect of orihime?
brother dies, leaves her flower hair pins
tatski comes becomes her closest friend
strong ichigo, goes and shows how strong he is.
ichigo comes closer to orihime, saving her life and her brother's soul, and exposing her to his spiritual power.
she finds ichigo all sad and emotional.
bla blah blah
she saves her friend, becomes like... i'm fighting! like.
blah blah
becomes important and powerful and unique in a war.

what i missed?

In terms of powers, Rukia is nowhere near Orihime. Orihime's powers are even more broken than Aizen's hypnosis. For example, her "healing" is actually nothing of the sort: it works by reversing time within a localized area, making it so that a person's wounds NEVER HAPPENED. But this being shounen, she comes off as useless because she's not willing to kill. If she were willing to, she could basically one-shot anybody.

No she couldn't, because any one can oneshot her hairpin spirits before they do their stuff.

In my opinion Orihime is slightly "Mary Sue". Long pretty hair, big breast, bright eyes, etc. .In the beginning she was cute, popular, had high grades, also not to mention the absent minded, optimistic, girly ditz she was which was to make her "cute".
And now she has that over the top healing ability.
She's just "looks", to draw people in, a shounen manga has a higher popularity and draws people in when there are hot pretty big breasted chicks.
You either love or hate her.
In the world of anime and manga you just cant have simplicity anymore.

That's BECAUSE of her lack of resolve and unwillingness to kill. Which was specifically stated the first time her attack spirit was shot down.

Ichigo is nicer to Orihime than he is to basically anybody else.

I guess part of the problem is we keep forgetting this IS Shounen anime. It's NOT supposed to be deep. It's meant to basically be eye-candy. It's action with little regard for plot and character development. There's only enough to try and keep the viewer interested.

This isn't Ghost in the Shell. It doesn't try to bury you in complexity and philosophy.
It's not Samurai Champloo, where character traits and development are a driving force.
It's noty by Rumiko Takahashi, so the characters themselves are not the focus.

It's your typical shounen action anime. Big, spiky haired male with a sword and lots of powers risks his life to save a girl/some more girls/his friends, and learns the power of teamwork and friendship by beating the shit out of a lot of things.

Also, there are boobies. Big ones, too.

So, I try to take Bleach as it is. And its characters, too. Ichigo is the willful, strong, and stubborn powerful male lead.
Rukia is the stubborn and willful but much frailer female lead. Ishida is the male rival who learns to respect the main lead and vice versa. Orihime is the klutzy, air-headed, but surprisingly talented and hot and cute eye-candy.

And... I can live with that.

Thank you so much for spelling it out for us. This also applies to the other big shonen series.

And as well we have to remember the culture where this comes from. Women in Japan don't have the same number of opportunities as women here in America. Most of them are office workers with little chance for advancement. I think that too many people are too critical of girls in shonen anime. If the girls were a focus in either Bleach or Naruto, they would've been done by different authors, studios and people. I think because of the American culture we live in, we expect to see strong-willed take no prisoners women in our entertainment. Japan is just different than us.

If by 'nice' to her you mean 'makes sure she's OK when she could conceivably be in trouble and then ignore her the rest of the time' sure, you might have a point. Latest chapter is a great example of this.

Ahhhh fuck it, just post more Orihime- don't try to dress it up to make Ichigo's lack of love-love with Orihime less acceptable, OK?

I posted all the solo Orihime I had, have to post Ulquihime now.

I hate the fucking ads that come up when I click a picture.

Seriously, Ichixhime fans don't know how to respect the characters. For one, they completely ignore the fact that Ichigo has no hormones and a hero complex the size of Jupiter. Also, they fail to notice how much this "crush" is slowly poisoning and killing Orihime, which is really sad because I like her a lot. I'm having to question what the author wants to do with her other than have his sick twisted ways and bestow such horrible circumstances on a girl who did nothing to deserve it. So post moar goddamn UlquiHime for goodness' sakes.

You should support the ads, they keep the site up!

And if you use the firefox extension NoScript to prevent the ads from coming up, then you should turn it off...... Because TURNING OFF THE ADS WITH NOSCRIPT does not support the site, and that is wrong.....

Well we could go back and examine Kubo's first published manga Zombie Powder, while it ended only after four volumes do to various reasons, it is a great example of mixing what we've learned to expect in Shonen action manga with some support for women...
Look at the female lead, Wolfina, while having massive boobs, I think the translation about her page said her bra size is an American E-cup or DDD, and she is actually a fighter to some degree, she's also a photographer that takes pictures of wrong doers in the public works arena, mayors, sheriffs and the such. She was a good mix of eye candy and backbone...Wish he applied that to one of the female leads...Plus, she had a reason to fight, a good one, her nearly dead brother who was infected with a Zombie Ring. Yeah...I'm getting down from the old soapbox now /C/.

Anyone who truthfully expects much more out of a Shounen Jump title female than a girl with tits bigger than her head and a heart of gold, or the spunky but vulnerable girl, needs to just settle with Claymore or lower their standards. Because outside of that title I think I could count all of them on one hand.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Orihime, and she really is an awesome character when you compare her to girls of other Shounen titles such as say, any of the Death Note girls. She stands up for herself the best she can, and has ACTUAL LEGITIMATE REASONS AS TO WHY SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO FIGHT. So yeah, stop hatin' everyone! D:

Well put, that's exactly why I watch Bleach.

As far as Rumiko goes, she did a wonderful job with the characters in InuYasha, but the manga is TOO DAMN LONG, and the fillers in the anime didn't help much either. I perfectly understand why so many people hate that series, but I still like it.

Inuyasha was good at first, before it became obvious that it would just drag on, and on, and on, and on. With the only actual plot progression being that all of the good supporting characters die.

Had the manga ended about 250 chapters ago, it probably would've been a decent story.

Not to go off topic even further, but I'll admit it right here, right now:
I like Inuyasha.
I like it for the same reason I like most shows:
I find the characters to be funny and empathetic. For better or worse, Rumiko Takahashi makes very... well, distinct characters (in personality, anyway. In art, some are highly recognizable, while others are way too similar).

As a fan, though, I will admit that it's just. way. too. fucking. long. This does not, however, stop me from LIKING the characters. It just means I stop watching/reading and only occasionally glance at new stuff to see if any plot changes have happened.

"ZOMG INUYASHA YAOI ****^_____^****" yaoi fangirls are still the worst of the worst, and must be exterminated immediately. But I do not allow these morons to affect my opinion of the series. It is annoying, but hey, if I like a character, I pretty much like them forever, regardless of how trendy it gets to bash them.

Still, someone needs to slap Takahashi across the face and say "ENOUGH IS FUCKING ENOUGH."

...Anyway, back to the topic, more Orihime.
