I hope Gainax selects good voice talent for these characters! The Ichigo-dude's name is Keisei. The girl is Makina. She is the main character, also called the Shikabane Hime. You can also consider Makina as, get Rukia, right-click on 'Properties,' and switch hair and skirt lengths. Makina has
long hair and a
short skirt.
Keisei wears stuff with more hints of Shinto/Bhuddist touches, and he gets in some good fighting with that staff of his (see below.) Makina, just like every other student in Japan where gun controls are extreme, runs around town & school with her full-auto MAC11. She carries two, and I think she uses 39rd magazines. Also I think they are 9mm, though .380 is also a possibility. 9mm is so much cheaper at 1200rd/min, though.

Forum note: If moderators find any of these images inappropriate for the forum, I can delete them from the server where these links point. Afaik, everything is covered-up or blocked by foreground objects, and there are no swear words, right? Just a bit gory in places though, but the chara are already dead, or undead ghouly things they are fighting; the kind of horror-story opponents where if you cut a hand off it just MIGHT climb 3 flights of stairs after you - cuz it's
ticked off at you now!
