User blog comment:Lia Schiffer/ANIME SPECIAL: 268: Hatred and Jealousy, Orihime's Dilemma/@comment-44061-20100428095401

I would have to agree here. If I ever had to be pissed off this week. Orihime (my least favorite character) Had to be the one that made Bleach suck for the week, though to be honest I can't remember a time when she didn't. Once again she shows herself to be a traitor and utterly pathetic. As I have said before empathy is one thing but she takes turning the other cheek to a new and unrealistic level. Yea Loly beats on her for an crazy reason but least she was playing her role until the anime people made her cope out. Once again I wonder why must Orihime be so pathetic she doesn't stand up for herself and everyone has to go out of their way to protect or save her. I wonder why this is a driving point in the story cause even in the SS arc Rukia as helpless as she was still fought back when she could. When I see Orihime I constantly wonder whose side is she on (healing bad guys, who are trying to kill her or her friends) what type of mentality is that. Thats my rant of the week for Bleach. Either take her out of the story or give her some backbone and pick her a side to be on instead of having her be a useless, spineless jelly fish.

To much dumbing down of power has gone on in Bleach. If a lieutenant with bankai cant take out a group of pathetic hollow and needs to be helped by a Qunicy then the world is in trouble. But for the love of all will the animators stop with the filler and just do the story. There is over 100 episodes or so who cares about filler flesh out what you have.
