Square and Bleach, together at last!! Use hairspray!
Watched Hairspray. Loved it. Started watching Across the Universe, stopped about 3/4ths of the way through, watched Hairspray again instead. Still love it. Think I'm going to have to buy it.
Still, slowly, playing The World Ends With You. If you'll recall, I had a premonition that I was supposed to pair Joshua with Neku just from reading the instruction manual. Well, now that I'm significantly into Joshua's chapter, I can officially say that Square is trying way too hard to make me pair Joshua with Neku. Seriously, I don't need this much help. I can decide that he's gay before he starts giggling and making sly comments about staring at Neku's ass. Anyway, he's Very Interesting, in the sense of being a smug little bitch with more secrets up his sleeve than a transvestite, which by the way he practically is, because despite his sensible character art outfit, he has branded items (e.g. "When Joshua wears this item...") that are, for example, a frilly umbrella. Seriously. He has a Frilly Umbrella that only he can make practical use of. Not a girl. Joshua.
ANYWAY.
On a Kingdom Hearts front, I'm playing Re:CoM. I am also making tremendous progress on Another Side, which is ecstatic-making. We're officially done with the Prologue, although not all of it is up yet -- I think we'll post the first part of Day 6 today. I'm currently attempting to draw Nobodies in Namine's style for the Namine's Notes. It's... not easy. orz I think it takes someone more artistically talented than me to draw this childishly. You know, like it takes a really great dancer to dance badly?
On the Bleach front, Kyouraku/Lisa is so my new OTP, even though it's painful because uh I can't just ignore Kyouraku/Nanao either. It is FTP, for Fail True Pairing, although I believe that acronym is taken. Anyway I love them. And Urahara and Hiyori and Akon. And Yoruichi and Byakuya. Etc.
ETA: It's a frilly parasol, not a frilly umbrella. And it is described as "Frilled and beribboned, this antique umbrella is a magical key to grand romance. A sensible princess would keep it at hand." A sensible princess, e.g. Joshua.

Like you, I would love it if this plot thread got some resolution.
Earlier, when we saw the big spread of all the Captains, before the flashback started, I noticed that Nanao _wasn't_ there. I theorised that she'd been left behind to take charge of Seireitai -- because, well, someone has to be in charge of the place, especially with the 46 gone. I'm not sure whether to interpret that as Shunsui trusting her on her own, or Shunsui not wanting her near the action, or both. (Though Nanao's own capabilities seem to rate high in terms of organisation and admin, which makes her a sensible choice in any case.)

I noticed that too, and came to the same conclusion. Poor Kyouraku. He keeps going after the stubborn cute chicks with glasses.

And this chapter came just at the right moment to let me fill one of my springkink prompts, too. I am a happy bunny.
Re the Yamamoto confrontation: I would like to suspect that most vice-captains would have collapsed at that pressure. (Yachiru and Renji might be exceptions.) And . . . hm. You know, in retrospect, Yamamoto was there at that meeting and agreed to Shunsui sending Lisa off and everything. He would have been just as aware of the full ramifications of what happened before when he saw Shunsui's vice-captain standing there, ready to risk herself to try to defend her captain, and probably about to be killed in the fall-out . . .

Oooh, is it posted anywhere?
Like history threatening to repeat itself. Yamamoto's probably seen a lot of things like that come and go. :\

Yamamoto has definitely seen a lot of things come and go. I'm wondering how much this whole Visored mess affected his later hardline attitude during the Rukia and current business. It would explain an increased degree of rule-of-law and firm control.
