Hinamori the prom queen

[sincere]

A lot of people on my friends list were rly upset earlier about the newest chapter of Bleach, because of Ishida and Mayuri's interaction in there. Me, I'm just going to keep looking at the long term. As long as KT addresses it one way or another, I'm okay with it.

Me, I'm more kind of stunned about the results of the popularity poll. Okay, Hitsugaya is at the top, surprise surprise, Rukia is second, way to go, she deserves it after the Aaroniero fight, etc.

Hinamori is sixth?

Don't get me wrong, I love Hinamori. But this boggles me some because the last time there was a popularity contest, Hinamori was in the top twenty, but not the top ten, and since then she's -- uh -- become kind of a non-entity. We know she exists and is doing and thinking things, Imitated Gaiety proved that, but she hasn't appeared for over a year in either the manga or the anime or any of the movies. Why is she at the top of the list there? There is zero reason she should've beaten Renji or Orihime.

I don't get the Japanese sometimes I guess.

What's the issue? The whole, "Mayuri, you bastard, you killed my mentor I hates you" thing? I'd like to think Ishida is managing to be coldly rational about it considering his current state and location. I... kinda blipped past it.

Yeah, I really don't think now, with all his crushed organs etc, is the time to make a valiant stand against his grandfather's killer. I think he knows he'd be dead if Mayuri hadn't showed up, and might be slightly less dead now that he has. But people seem to be upset because Ishida is being comedic in Mayuri's vicinity, which sort of trivializes the whole "murderer of the Quincy" thing.

I admit to not seeing what the fuss is, personally -- I think it's fairly typical shounen antics, and not intended to show and disrespect for Ishida.
