The sword is exactly like Ichigo's first Zanpakuto, the one crated with Rukia's power. Click to expand...

Thanks for sharing these fantastic images! My thoughts are that the location looks great and I can tell they were trying to go for realism with Ichigo's character design rather than cartoony like the rock musical costumes. I'm not sure whether they succeeded or not in making him look perfect, but it is a decent attempt. The sword, hover, looks nothing like the original. I hope that its just a practice prop.I think what bothers me the most is that it looks like it won't be a Thousand Year Blood War related storyline. They seem to be starting over from page 1 of the manga. While I could of guessed that they would do this it's still a bit disappointing. I'm tempted to give up hope of ever seeing my favorite characters outside the manga pages, but you never know. Someone will eventually see their potential.Personally, I still don't see much of a resemblance. This is the closest match I could find and yet it still looks a bit off. http://www.mlo.me/upen/v/201111/201...rosaki-Soul-Reaper-Uniform-Cosplay-4335-0.jpg
