Oh boy. This is going to be a rough one for me. I struggle to maintain neutrality on these character studies and analyze the characters involved less around how I personally feel about them, and more on how I feel they were used in canon and how I prefer to use them in my own stories. This is gonna be rough with the Lady Einzbern, since of the FSN cast, she is my favorite by a decent margin. I loves me some Ilya. Maintaining objectivity in the face of that is gonna be a bitch, ...
Bleach is... not a good series, by most standards. The art is sloppy, the writing is childish at best, and the plot is a seemingly impossible combination of completely insane and painfully simplistic. At this point, if I actually bother to read it, it is only to see how deeply the trainwreck has managed to crash lately. So... so why, of all the series to inspire a new plotbunny in me. Why that one?
