Latest Bleach anime is back on Japan TV!

[Saner]

after two weeks of no episodes, it's a colossal
surprise that they enhanced one of the greatest
confrontations to the max! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif


(oh ya and these are legal since there are no subs. read the manga to understand.) http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

But ya it's great when you each week where we
can watch the next anime episode, and then the latest
manga chapter on the weekend. so that's like two
Bleach stuff per week! well yeah sometimes they
skip weeks, but I'm sure there will be a chapter
this weekend, and an anime and manga chapter next
week. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

There's like a filler mini arc coming soon, something about assigning a new 3rd seat Captain.

[Saner]

oh cool haven't heard of that. it sound like a filler that will be filled with humor since I don't
think the 3rd seat will be filled unless the manga confirms who
it will be. I can just imagine the fillers being about the current
Shinigami dreaming about what if they became a Captain. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

also have to consider the other two seats that need to be replaced
with a new Captain. (5th Division and 9th Division)

I dunno if Hisagi will become Captain in place of Tousen. Doesn't
seem like it unless he learned Bankai early like Ikkaku.
Momo is Aizen's Vice Captain. But is she even ready to
be a Captain? I don't think she knows Bankai but it would be cool
if she does unlock it. She has gone up the ranks almost as fast
as Hitsugaya. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Picture I found of him, not very great looking. And considering what happened in the last few chapters of the manga there's noway it could be cannon.

[Saner]

lol it seems fan made or something. I dunno, if that guy is gonna be
the new Squad 3 Captain, I think he might get demoted before the
filler arc is over. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif I wonder how much Kubo has a say in what
stuff is added as filler. cause a new Captain for the 3rd Division is
big news. It seems it would contradict the current manga if that
guy is still Captain by the time SS make their move. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

I mean I'm surprised there has been no chapter that immediately
searched and found Shinigami qualified to fill in as Captains for the
3rd, 5th and 9th Divisions. maybe this possible filler might clarify a
bit of that.

Ikkaku would never want to be a Captain, so that
rules him out.

I'll have to catch up before I watch that. ;|

[McLaughlin]

The last 30 seconds (more specifically, the last 15 seconds or so) were awesome.

[NPCMook]

Actually Saner, Bleach is a copy righted material in both America and Japan, just because they don't have subs doesn't make it legal, it was still distrabuted through Torrents and then the uploader broke the Terms and service agreement with Youtube by uploading it >.>

I actually enjoyed the Episode and can't wait to see the next one... normally I just watch Bleach and Naruto to fill in the gaps between other series

[Nitro Vordex]

Uh, is this show any good? I saw one episode and was totally lost.

They were running up a huge stairway, I think. Someone was in...a tower? I'd forgotten.

[McLaughlin]

You can't really jump into the show there. >_> You'd have to watch a few episodes for yourself to judge whether you like it or not.

SHHHHHH! it's very well done. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Chuck_Norris]

Looks like they made new music for it. Guess that's why they took so long for this. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Thrash777]

I saw it when it came out, stayed up for release http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif
Bleach is my all time favourite anime, and everyone I've recommended it to has loved it too!
Just watch up to episode 20 and you'll be hooked! That's when it kicks off properly!
I've got all the manga too! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Bleach has the problem with any anime that stays too long. It becomes stereotypical and commercial.

That being said, I will say that this episode was surprisingly good. The fight scene was surprisingly well done, and there was some nice emotion behind it. Considering how disappointing it's been lately, this was enough to keep me interested.

Now if only Naruto would throw me a Hinata fanservice episode...

[McLaughlin]

Naruto needs more Rock Lee and Kiba.

Thought, we haven't seen much of Hinata...>_>

This is why I'm glad they stopped Eureka Seven at 50.

[Zorafim]

Naruto needs less of Naruto and Sakura. Sai can stay, he doesn't hog the screen as much.

[Saner]

well ya Bleach is getting better, cause there's still plenty to discover
about Soul Society and we haven't seen all the Captain's Bankai yet
and stuff. So I think the whole Aizen arc might become ultimate
showdown of the series. and also the chapters are showing the
past currently what happened like 100 years ago or something,
so ya that breathes more depth into the lives of the previous Captains
and other secrets and backgrounds.

So even though Bleach has been around for a while, I think it's still
has at least one or two arcs to go before it's considered that it's been
around "too long" but ya it depends on the direction it goes, and
what the result will be from this arc.


cause the whole Zero Division secrets might be its own arc.

[McLaughlin]

I, personally, have a sneaking suspicion that Ichigo's dad is the former Squad Eleven captain.

We need to see Urahara (can't spell his first name >_>) actually fight.

[Saner]

well the latest chapter is out on Bleach Portal.

Urahara probably won't seriously fight until maybe sometime in the
present war.

I think it would be cool if he fights Aizen. Then again maybe
that is Shinji's job, unless Ichigo gets a major power upgrade.
but one thing I like about Bleach is that it's not always about Ichigo,
and that's okay. like Zaraki is the one who kills that Noitora,
Byakuya killed an Espada. well yeah Ichigo beat Grimmjow, but
he seemed outmatched by Noitora.

I really wonder how/if Ichigo is gonna defeat Ulquiorra.
or maybe that will be another Captain's job, but it seems to
be more personal between Ichigo and Ulquiorra.

but chances are, if Ulquiorra beats Ichigo, there are still Captains
in the area who might finish the job. Byakuya, Zaraki, Unohana, Mayuri. because of course Renji, Chad, Inoue, Rukia, Dondo, and
Peshe can't scratch Ulquiorra.
I really think Ulquiorra might be the lowest ranked Vastro Lorde,
because Aizen placing him in charge of Las Noches really
means a lot of confidence in a single Espada being able to handle
about 4 Captains and a unmastered Vaizard.

maybe if Inoue rejects and restores Nell's mask, then as Neliel,
she might be able to do something maybe when released.
[spoiler] she was the original 3rd Espada. so maybe it's like:

unreleased Ulquiorra > unreleased Neliel
unreleased Ulquiorra = released Neliel
released Ulquiorra > released Neliel

because for #5 Noitora and Neliel comparison:

unreleased Noitora = unreleased Neliel
unreleased Noitora < released Neliel
released Noitora = released Neliel

at least it seems that way to me. then again,
Neliel's power level is really outdated.
But she seems more powerful than Grimmjow. so it
can't be like a rank 6 vs. a rank 5.
more like a rank 5 vs. a rank 5.5 maybe.


but ya chances are Neliel even
released might not be able to stop unreleased Ulquiorra, but probably at least convince him to block. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

UH OH.

I might try to start from the beginning, and see what's good about this.

[Saner]

well ya Bleach starts out kind of like Yu Yu Hakusho. It gets a
Hollow hunting theme going until you finally get to the Soul Society
arc and get a huge picture of what's really going on. so the first arc
pretty much takes place always in the town. then the Soul Society
arc involves a lot of Seireitei.

(SS arc is like the Dark Tournament arc in YYH, it's super cool and
tons of great battles and discoveries.)

The Bounto arc is filler but I liked it.

Then the Espada saga begins after that.

fillers are very very few compared to Naruto.
and the Bounto Arc isn't very long to being with.

but even now I think Bleach is still pretty young still we still have a
lot to learn about the rest of the Gotei 13 Captains, and other
things. so the series might last for 1 or 2 more arcs depending on
what happens next. But if I were to split the arcs up, I would name
them Town Saga, Soul Society Saga, Bounto mini-saga,
and Espada Saga (current saga). so technically minus the filler arc,
there are only 3 sagas so far.

[Eihwaz]

Of the current, rather long-running anime (I tend to prefer shorter anime), Bleach intrigues me greatly. But the thought of watching all the episodes to get caught up on key characters and events seems a bit intense.

Maybe I can focus on it this summer, when I have unlimited free time. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

[McLaughlin]

It's not as bad as it seems to get caught up. You can skip from 60-ish to 100-ish, as that's the Bounto arc, which is filler.

[Thrash777]

Gah! Too many spoilers about! Careful with the manga spoilers, I'm trying to keep the anime fresh!

[Alisha]

bleach is awesome. im excited because soon Nel is gonna open a can.
