Hey cslewislover and Gabrielman! I have the signature for my avatar. I think it gives a good Christian message and does the character justice as well.

The idea for my signature takes Matthew 7:3 literally, I used the king James wording. But in the case of my signature, Kenpachi is being a little smug about the misinterpretation of his handicap (due to his strength) and at the same time taking a shot at his faultfinder’s weakness.

I think the current picture goes better with my signature, he looks a lot more smug in this case as if he is saying…(Sarcastically)…Really?…LOL…I love it! But both pictures are awesome and I like the unique art style of the other pic along with the fact that it displays his sword.

After watching a few episodes on the internet and having my youngest brother bring me up to speed I can definitely say I can relate to the character. He looks a bit wild but I like this guy...lol…he’s a blats!

Very cool work guys! Thanks! :thumbsup:

Ha ha ha, that's cool that you're making it all come together with a Christian message. You know, Kenpachi killed a squad captain in order to become one. Very animalistic culture it's representing there! But Nathaniel says that that bit of information is from a season of the show that was not written by the original author, who still writes the Manga/anime. The conflict between Eastern and Western thought in the show is interesting, but I think Kiddy Grade is much more interesting and in-depth when it comes to that kind-of thing. If you want to see a truly excellent anime, grown-up and about love (not romantic), watch Solty Rei. It's only one season long. Strive to see the dubbed version, not the subbed. You may need to buy or rent it for that. The dubbed was made here and the choice of words is better, and they fit the movements of the character's mouths. The subbed version is definitely more eastern, and all the women have the same voices!!! It doesn't go with the strong women in that anime, lol; they're not all dolls. And the main male character is quite interesting - I'm sure you'd like him.

Are you aware of Nick Simmons' western rip off of Kenpachi and various other Bleach characters?

That's weird. Is his manga about the same stories, or is he making fun of them, or what?

It's a comic book. The story is different, but contains many ripped off Bleach characters (both in design and personality) of whom Kenpachi is one.

And of course, this didn't go unnoticed. He received tons of negative criticism from the manga communuity.

I am hoping that we can discuss some animes in this thread in depth, and there are a few I wanted to catch up on to discuss so that would be fun! :ebiggrin: to name a few, Trigun, Bleach, and I would love you all to see Vicki's note on Kiddie Grade! There are a lot out there, so let's get started, shall we?

Hi Cslewislover.

It’s only because you were so cool about making me feel welcome. The least I can do is make good use of the character.

That‘s ok, David killed for another mans wife, seriously, how messed up is that? I think it’s safe to say that Kenpachi (and the rest of us for that matter) still have hope...LOL!

God must like a good story, the bible is full of them. And we all like watching or reading about our favorite character’s deep dark secret, struggles, heartbreaks, good times and bad times. And most of us hope that, in the end, our guy or girl fights hard and achieves the success they desire. I think God must feel the same about us. Things may end badly sometimes...Or, that bad ending may just be a rough beginning. In any case, there is plenty of head chopping, blood and torture in the bible. The word sets us free, I like to have fun. Some Christians (I know you are not doing this) take anything that is perceived as immoral to the extreme when God’s word is not even that strict. If God said it’s a sin then it is. Everything else, our heart will judge. I’m not condemned about non sins easily but thank-you for having concern for my moral preference Cslewislover.

And everyone has a beam or speck in their eye. So if any of you uptight Christians have a problem with Kenpachi’s character then bring it!...LOL!

I’ll definitely take a look at Solty Rei Cslewislover and give you guy’s my critique.

:D I'm not sure about my Kiddy Grade notes. They are just notes, and you'd have to see the show to understand them. But . . . maybe I could write something that shows how and what the writer presents in regard to the Christian view vs the Buddhist view. Notice Eclair wears a cross. But then, a lot of anime characters do, as well as gothics. So, it doesn't necessarily mean much regarding Christian faith. In Kiddy Grade, however, it does mean something. Christian symbolism is presented throughout, even though much of it passes by very quickly and it's hard to catch - like red wine & Eclair's cross merged in one scene (I think I must've watched that episode at least 4 times before I caught it), and the giant cross in Lumiere's vision. And of course there's all the dialogue, lol - but the Christian symbols make it so that the characters never have to say Christ or the West or anything.

Kenpachi's softer side you say?

Image

Maybe at first glace it may seem that way. But the power it takes for a man to contort his body in such an extreme manner is unimaginable. His posture alone would make lifting that cup impossible for normal men. Yet, Kenpachi manages not only to drink from the cup, but finds the strength to extend his pinky and complete the sacred tea ceremony. It’s a daunting task and every muscle in his body swells with intense pain, the stress on his glutes alone would make any man cry, but not Kenpachi, he manages to do all of this without showing even the slightest hint of pain or discomfort, just to put a smile on her face.

Soft?….No man has ever done anything this hardcore…LOL!

Hi Gabrielman!

Definitely eye-catching and the style is cool. The cross and bones is a little much and I think the pictures overall message contradicts my avatar and signature. I would prefer the size to be close to cslewislover’s and the picture to shows Kenpachi in a much more relaxed cool guy state. Something that shows power, control and confidence with just a tad of smugness, just a little…lol. In short, a variation of cslewislover’s Kenpachi pic.

Thanks for the effort Gabrielman!

I tried to modify that one - take the skull out and make it smaller - but when I reloaded it I couldn't edit out stuff in the program I was using. Lol. You didn't like it anyway - I was just going to do that and put it here in case someone else might want to use it. But I came up with another one. Maybe you like this better? His face is more like what you mean, right? The colors don't go with your avy though :|
