In any fictional or nonfictional form of media or entertainment, many of its characters, whether male or female, will undoubtedly make a face that expresses the way their feeling. Some range from making happy, angry, & sad faces while others make cute, funny, & WTF faces. The face shown on Hinamori's is from a filler episode of Bleach and it's described (in my opinion) as both a cute & funny face. The episode, if I recall, is about Kite fighting and, out of nowhere, Hinamori makes a face like the one shown when talking to her fellow Shinigami. She is seen as both excited and curious, a deadly combination of cute and funny. Though serving no purpose to the story, gestural expressions of any kind are a reason why we are invested in characters ~ we're being fed information on that character and their relevance to the series as a whole. With fillers, it doesn't progress the story, but does fill in time for comedy/shenanigans to ensue when the heroes aren't fighting. It's good to see a light form of comedy in gestural expressions because, as a kid, making faces was a form of not only entertainment, but bringing joy & laughter to all those around us.
I hope you enjoyed this week's RBT. Look forward to RBTS every Thursday.
The latest chapter was Bleach was released today, but I'll post my WBCR of it tomorrow alongside BCC #3 & weekly Throwback. Until then, you all stay classy now.
