Yes, I have no shame, I know.

That said, ah ha ha, KT YOUR ID IS SHOWING. Also your love of music, "Panic at the Dollhouse," seriously!? I can't shake the feeling that the five "good" Fullbringers are also at least to some extent satires on character types from other manga--the video game kid in particular reminds me a lot of Allan from D.Gray-man, or Lag from Letter Bee, and the butler man is totally out of central casting along with Riruka. Also this whole last section is a lot like Alice in Wonderland, why does every manga or anime eventually have an Alice in Wonderland reference?

I do actually like the reappearance of Chad, with more awesome and with telling Ichigo what's what, and an actual reference to his pride in himself and his heritage. And I like how everyone including the reader knows that Ichigo hasn't really been able to deal with the loss of his powers, even though they all try to pretend otherwise.

All that being said, you know, I do love Ishida and Orihime being a team, and Ryuuken blatantly telling Orihime what's what because he doesn't think Ichigo will be much good. Also, this final arc is actually looking like it will make sense with past developments and not be completely random, which is good. Speaking of which, where the hell has Isshin gotten to?

Obviously, Ginjô knows more than he's telling, and is playing more angles than one.

Yeah, I think there was plenty of stuff to still explore, and he seems to be doing that rather than just creating something totally new. I mean, if the manga had ended and we never knew why Chad had some special power even though he was human, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but having these new people be the same sort of humans as Chad and exploring his power more is a good way to go. I hope we'll be learning more about Isshin, too, and why he left Soul Society and all that.

Ooh, yeah, that would tie in nicely.
