Since I had some time for me last week, I tried catching up with my most favourite animes. I watched a lot of Naruto, Bleach and of course I finished watching Death Note (which is fantastic, really).
In the meantime my friend,
reijamira, started watching Bleach. Yeah, I introduced her to her new addiction. :D But as it's always with me and my friends: If they like it, I feel the addiction they feel too and I start to get all excited. That's why I started heading in the direction of Bleach fandom. I am a Renji/Ichigo or Ichigo/Renji supporter. These two are just an explosive pairing. I also like Byakuya, but I am not sure if he's the perfect match for either Ichigo or Renji.
If I think about it, is there fanfiction with Nova out there? It'd be interesting to see who he is paired with. Maybe Sado? *g*
I searched and found some very pretty Bleach fanart (and maybe I should investigate Gin/Kira). Some fanart was just gross though. I mean, Zaraki Kenpachi and Ichigo? Just no! Zaraki Kenpachi with anyone is urgh.
Because I don't like Grimmjow Jeagerjaques (what a name) that much, I also can't imagine him and Ichigo together. But I'd like to hear other opinions on that. Could be mind opening. :)
My first encounter with Bleach fandom was not that great though. I started reading some different fics and stopped three of them after the first sentences (and there was also one summary of doom which really scared me off and made me want to leave the site). In the end I read renjifan's
"Pull of Destiny" (makes it the first Bleach ff I read completely). The first chapters were promising, but in the end I was a little disappointed. I think Ichigo was too soft there. I like more action and more disputes between the charas. Give me more tension!
