do you really believe that age has anything to do with love? or perhaps you're talking about lust?Originally Posted by Animeniax
well in either situation you can't compare the two in terms of age, because they both developed in different dimensions with different timelines. hitsugaya and karin are about that same visual age, which makes them a fine looking couple, and their personalities are complementary.
Regardless if she knows how old he is, we here all know the age difference, so anyone here commenting that they'd make a fine couple is disturbing.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Isn't it the same with Ichigo and Rukia?
Rukia is way older then Ichigo, right?
Yes it's still gross, just not as gross since Ichigo is a mature 16 (or 17?) and Karin is around 10. Why do you keep trying to justify it? It's gross, plain and simple.

So what your saying is that their chronological age is more important than their developmental age. So by your logic, Yachiru pairing up with someone who's like 50 would actually be *less* creepy even though she looks like she's 5?
Typically chronological age helps determine developmental age. Karin, while she seems somewhat mature, is still a 10 year old little girl, neither chronologically nor developmentally mature. Toushirou, while he looks like a 10 year old, is actually 1000+ years old, and acts as such, so he is chronologically and developmentally mature. Yachiru, while she is possibly 1000+ years old, acts like a little kid (stunted mental development due to all that violence she saw as a kid), so she is chronologically but not developmentally mature. By human standards, a 50 year old man would be chronologically and developmentally mature, and therefore unsuitable for someone like Yachiru.
I ask again, why are you people defending arguments that justify a relationship between a 10 year old and a much older person?

Toushirou's not even anywhere near a thousand years old. He's one of the newer captains, and Byakuya being one of the oldest is only around 500 years old. He says that in during the SS arc or something.
Overall an OK episode, though it felt very predictable. But I join in with everyone else and say it was good...for filler.
I also thought that the FMA reference was cute! When Hitsugaya was called a midget and talks back just like Edward would do. And what's even more cute is that it was the same VA in both cases.
I wonder if it was on purpose or maybe it's just my imagination that connects it all
Its the same VA? No wonder, like right away during that sunset part it reminded me of Edward from FMA, and the super midget part too. I even actually watched that last episode of FMA right after cuz it reminded me of it so much. Toushiro is my favorite char in bleach, and FMA is my favorite series. The ending of the show is so sad... Same with the movie...I also thought that the FMA reference was cute! When Hitsugaya was called a midget and talks back just like Edward would do.

A 100 year old and a 10 year old is still freaking nasty.

So could Karin get with Yachiru? seriously, these questions NEED answering...
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Because all anime fans are pedophiles.
Even YOOOOOU.
Not really justifying it, but maybe it's meaningless to compare the age of a Shinigami with a human. The developmental stages are not 1 to 1. You have to understand the life cycles of each, and the rate in which they develop. So a 100 (random number) year old Shinigami can very well be as mature as a 10 year old human both physically and mentally.
If something should gross you out, is that they are different spicies, not how old they are.
Going to the extreme... dogs hit puberty between 6 months and 2 years old. Just highlighting the difference of maturity and development between different spicies, and it shouldn't be any different with Shinigami and Humans.

Don't Shinigami come from the souls or dead humans or the desendents of souls of dead humans (those noble clans probably aren't reproducing by just adopting williy nilly). I wouldn't call them different species as much as different stages of the same life cycle, like a butterfly and a caterpiller for instance.
Anyway, this is a shounen action show, there will be no 'romance' between a little girl and a fighter charachter regardless of age. The closest that they might get is strained friendship, where she hangs out with him and he acts like a douchbag to her but always gets her out of trouble.
Their bodies are composed of an entirely different matter, their life cycles are not the same, their rate of growth is different, heck almost everything about them is different so might as well consider them as different spicies.
It's an anime, it's not gross or anything. Can't apply our standards in situation which the context differs this much.
Good ep, hope for more references if the fillers turns into manga-based-Shrek1-episodes I wont complain
I can't agree with that. Just because it's anime doesn't change anything in regards to something like pedophilia. Please stop asking people to enter your twisted world.
I wondered if they could have stretched this episode out into 2 or 3 episodes, but for some reason the idea of it made me nauseous. It's weird since I enjoyed this episode so much.

I gotta side with Ani on that one. Disreguarding accepted morality because its anime is why anime fans have that stereotype of being pedophiles in the first place.
"Oh, the guy is fucking an 8 year old!
But the 8 year old is a ROBOT! You can't apply conventional morality man!
*fap fap fap*"
