What a train wreck Bleach is⦠We STILL have no logical reasoning behind the main villain's motivation - WHY does he kill valuable comrades? You can treat someone as an "item" all you want, if you're an asshole, but when your numbers are low - it's just stupid to throw anyone away. And don't even get me started on battle experience and how probably no one asked these two guys who did they fight and what technique did they use, because lol, why use a brain?
But no, the ONE thing that drives me absolutely crazy about fucking Bleach is the lack of expressions. Expressions in this series are NON EXISTENT! Kubo's characters have a range of emotions closing at around FIVE:
1. "Sad" face, eyes looking a little more to the ground, mouth a little open, not fucking ending what they want to say. Example, of course, is Orihime and her "Ichigo, I..."
2. "I'm an idiot and I think this is how a smug person looks like" face. THIS. This is classic Bleach - this is EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. This is where the face lacks any expression and where the character tries to say something "cool", but it just comes out boring. This is the classic face of "Did you really think I wouldn't have a backup plan?" I fucking hate this face, I fucking want this face to die, I want someone to talk back and say "What are you? Stupid? Of, fucking, course I didn't know! I'm not your mom, how the fuck do you function? It's a fucking fight, move your ass instead of spitting bullshit!"
3. The "oh, I'm so angry" face. It was a classic Komamura, or whatever the fox guy was named, face. He was always angry or sad, jesus, give this guy a cookie or something. This is the standard angry face, Kubo has no idea how to mix feelings, so his characters, when angered, just look absolutrly fucking berserk!
"FUNNY" MOMENT FACES, Kubo uses only the three aboce 99% of the time. But on these special occasions, when the planets align, the sun turns red and Kubo tries to give a shit, he puts a "funny" moment. And uses two NEW expressions:
4. "Hello, I'm Kubo and I don't know how to draw a laughing character" face. We've seen more of this back when Orihime was just a silly big boobed girl that messed up a lot. Recently we see these with other girl characters, but it always looks the same, so just check Orihime and you'll pretty much know how it looks in the whole series.
5. "What the fuck happened and why am I in a shitty manga" face. This face is usually shown by the person who is the "normal" one in the "funny" moment. Ichigo is a good example. Usually the character loses a lot of his features and we see just his big comical eyes and he looks like he's thinking about sticking a sword in his heart.
That's pretty much it. Maybe I forgot one, but this is just SO Kubo.
