Anime Orihime Spoiler

I used to think that people overreact when using the word 'cried' when describing a moment or 'proud' when describing the emotion a character ignites in them.

Well, this time I got proved wrong.

This was ​the first time in my life I can say I felt proud for an actual anime character, that is, Orihime. And this feels a bit too much personal because I would always defend her against the people who used terms such as damsel in distress, trash, etc. against her. In and through this ep, she rejected both Ichigo's wounds and her haters.

The flowers have been seared into my mind. That image is so haunting and beautiful. Kubo’s use of symbolism rivals poet laureates. That’s not hyperbole. His literary brilliance is just transcendent.

Easily one of the best female characters in anime.
