Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
See this is why I prefer Funimation over Viz. Their writing flows better.
You listen to Bleach's dialogue and it's stiff and literal.

Something that (understandably) got lost in translation here, when the author has a character address Chrona, they do it with gender neutral pronouns. No one in the manga refers to Chrona as him/her/he/she at all to keep going with the "Chrona is ambiguous" joke/riff.

That...kid...is confusing me. I can except Haku is a guy if the author says he's a guy. But when not even the author knows...lol.
 
It's important to note Japan doesn't have gender-specific pronouns in required speech. That's why translating this stuff is such a pain in the ass.

What's with companies showing video game commercials so early?
Assassin's Creed IV and now Battlefield 4. They don't come out for months!
 
Battlefield 4 ads, cool.

Japanese is a very unique language.
