User blog comment:Toshiroichigo/Lack of strong personalities among vice captains./@comment-4509522-20131102155717/@comment-4957813-20131103043036

You are missing the point about the issue that Lemurs raised. While the language is not acceptable, the bigger issue is the fact that the original commenter in this thread could only remember Rangiku's physical uniqueness. By doing so, he is confirming a stereotype that all anime girls are for the eyes. Rangiku's character has much more depth than just her physical appearance. She is a capable fighter who displays a vivid range of emotions, as well as being wise in many situations. By including this depth of character, this shows that Rangiku is one of the most mature characters in the series, adding a level of complexity that eclipses many other characters. That is what Kubo is trying to make of Rangiku. He wants not only a character with a very unique appearance, but also has depth of character. To remember Rangiku solely for her appearance is to ignore all other aspects Kubo spent time to develop, which is disrespectful to him.
