User blog comment:Lemursrule/BLEACH episode 308 review: Ginger, Butterfly, and tears/@comment-1468352-20110209055123

Kaya Matsutani ruined Rangiku for me. I don't know if it was her dramatic choices or those of the show's director, but she doesn't sound AT ALL the way I imagined she would. I would even go as far as saying that her English VA does a better job.

As for Gin being dead, you could be right. After all, Tousen died and he was the third corner in this triangle of renegade captains. Then again, we do get a glimpse of him walking away in Rangiku's flashback from ch 423. Suffice to say that it can be interpreted either way. I think Kubo is still on the fence when it comes to Gin's death so he's leaving his options open. Way to get the screaming fangirls speculating till kingdom come.
