Bleach

[Nikita]

alright, for all you Bleach fans, new episodes are airing on March 1st on Adultswim!! now, if your as excited as i am, you will be tuning in to watch it! for all those who dont know where it left off, i'll let ya know! The last episode was when Renji Abarai was fighting his captain Byakuya Kuchkia. He was so close on defeating him, however, Renji's bankai was so far from his captain's. Now, Rukia is about to be executed for what happened in the human world. Ichigo doesn't have any more days to finish his bankai training, since it's his third day now and Rukia is being executed that day.

So just this week is the new episode and i'm way excited for it! who else is excited!?

[Adus]

I was excited, when I watched it like 3 years ago subbed!

Honestly though, one of the best parts of the series is coming up, so you're lucky if you haven't already had it spoiled for you. There's an episode coming up that actually made me go read the manga because the Japanese version of the anime wasn't going quick enough, so you at least have the option of finding the subtitled anime if you get desperate. -_-

On a side note, Episode 162 of Bleach was amazing. Shame you guys are still so far off from it so I can't discuss it. Oh well, only 3 years or so to go!

Not an Anime Watcher, But I've been picking up this bad boy in Manga form (Color and voices be damned, I don't have to wade through Filler :-P).

I'm up to Volume 9, so the Soul Society Arc is just kicking off for me. Sadly I have been spoilt in the form of the Bleach DS game. I'm loving it so far though, and I can't wait to read how things unfold in future volumes.

Hmm Looks like I gotta go to a book store.

[S.I.C]

I feel so bad I used to be so into Bleach and now I have no idea whats going on ;_; but hey I'll be watching all the new episodes on Adult Swim!

[Kamen Rider Tams]

I just got finished reading all of the chapters of the manga last night. Chapter 312 needs to come out NOW! I am anxiously awaiting to see all of this stuff animated so I can't wait until tomorrow night! *dances*

It hurt my heart to see Renji get beat up the way he did. I love Renji. I am hoping there will be an arc about him and Chad where they get stronger. They have so much potential.

[Stefani]

Me Too Tams :( Renjii getting beat down by his captain was aweful. And Kind of made me a little queesy lol. But I like him too :)

Im really new to the show and really utterly confused as to what is going on with a lot of the characters, but I'm excited for new episodes. They're definitly getting Tivoed! I'm like addicted to this show now.

I really like Ichigo as well as Orihime. Renjii is a great character too, and Chad. You're right, they do have so much potential. It'd be great to see an arc with them getting even stronger.

Ichimaru's face creeps me out though. *shudders* I forget the guys name, but he started off with Ichigo when they started to try and save Rukia (sp?) He has the bombs and turns things to sand. He cracks me up ^_^

New episode of Bleach aired last night at 1:00am ET on Adult Swim. For those who have seen it, let's discuss!!

All i have to say is that i hated Captain Koname Tosen's bankai...let's just say it was retarded...Cutting off the senses, wow...*twirls finger around* i mean, yeah, Kenpachi found away to work it to his advantage.

Ya know what would be awesome tho...if Kenpachi actually reached Bankai...he would be a beast...being able to kill basically anyone if he wanted...but that wouldn't make Kenpachi cool then..lol..

[Kamen Rider Tams]

Kenpachi is amazing. He is up against two captains and fear isn't in his vocabulary. I am really impressed with him.

Captain Koname, what can I say, if he just would've shut up and fought, he might have done a little better. He's a walking hallmark card. I like him though. His bankai is kind of disappointing.

Gin is so creepy. He had Rukia thinking he would save her just so he could break her resolve.

I enjoyed Rukia's reaction to Renji's spiritual pressure fading. It gave me hope that the feelings aren't one-sided, because I believe Renji loves her.

Renji's alive! :D

[Nikita]

alrighty, new episode of Bleach aired saturday night. anyone watched it? and who was disappointed that we didn't get to see ichigo's bankai?? i was...even though i know i've seen it, i want to see it again! i totally love his bankai! we got to see like a glimpse of Byakuya and ichigo's fight but then it went to like everyone else...which is good an all. i'm glad to see Captain Yamamoto's bankai and everything since he doesn't get any air time. his looks sweet!!!

[Kamen Rider Tams]

So this new arch of Bleach is not in the manga and is kind of throwing things off. The impact of what happens to Orihime and the next big arc is kind of taken away by this.

Renji showing up this early is also kind of a downer. I just thought it was funny how Kisuke Urahara was scared to come out of his shop because Renji was waiting outside for him. Now that he already knows him, that entertainment will be taken away. Although, they could change it to Urahara hiding from Renji because he can't afford to give Renji room and board because said freeloader eats to much.

That being said, it's nice seeing some new that I haven't read in the manga.

[Nikita]

i agree tams...not to found of this filler actually...i was hoping Adult Swim was gonna skip the Filler arcs since the show is way ahead in Japan...but nope, it didn't...

i can't really say anything just yet about this filler since nothing to exciting is happening...just the fact the gang is looking for Orihime and now Chad...it's getting to boring...

[Kamen Rider Tams]

They could skip the filler arcs. It is not like we miss anything important. I waited up to watch the second airing of Bleach because I missed the first and I felt cheated. I hope there isn't to many episodes left in this arc.

I can't wait until the Vizards show up.

[Nikita]

lol..ik what u mean..not like u really missed anything..like u said...there wasn't a point of watching it...

Adult Swim should skip it...it would make Bleach alot better...we don't care about the Bount's they were stupid anyways..and like i said before, Japan is way ahead of us...we only get to see Bleach once a week...not like we are gonna catch up to them...

[chronotia archzenom]

Man! This anime is so badass

[Nikita]

shwing!!! no more filler episodes now!!

we ARE ONTO THE VIZARD ARC!! *dances around*

so for those that have been watching it on adultswim, who watched sat episode??

WARNIN CONTAIN SPOILERS:















we are introduced to a new vizard, the guy with blonde hair and the buck teeth..his name slips my mind..>_> but he was talking to Ichigo about him joining them and what not....then Ichigo's father is *gasp* a soul reaper! who saw that one coming? *i did teehee* but he's a captain to be more exact. i would love to see what his zanpakto can do....but then Uryuu's father is teaching him about his quincy powers tho there is a catch!! Uryuu can't affiliate with any soul reaper..not even Ichigo!! ahh...Uryuu's father is a dick! but i can't wait for next week's eppy!!

[Kamen Rider Tams]

I am excited too. Those damn fillers of doom were awful.

I am current with the manga so I can't wait to see the Vizard arc animated. I am so glad that the anime is interesting again, because the manga is getting uninterested with the never-ending battles that is going on. DIE BATTLES! DIE!

Isshin being a soul reaper is just made of win. He is a lot like Orihime in hiding his true personalty(I love when he comes from somewhere totally random trying to kick Ichigo's butt). I think it is fitting that he gets to fight this battle. It was his wife that was killed by that creature.

I like Uryuu's dad. He is the complete opposite of Ichigo's dad. His grand appearance made the bount arc seem such a waste of time. Half the stuff that happened to Uryuu within that arc, in the land of the living, he would have stopped.

I save you, for you have no talent. XD Yeah, no dad of the year award for him. :no:

[Kamen Rider Tams]

OMG, I hate to double post but Bleach was awesome last night. They played episodes 165-166. They out did themselves with the fighting sequences and the tender moments between Ichigo and Orihime.

Orihime was scared of Ichigo's vizard from thingy (The power of Christ compels you, Ichigo. XD) and he could not bring himself to fight at full power into her fear was gone. When she shouts don't die and don't get hurt anymore . . . it was ownage.

ICHIGO FTW!

Grimmjaw, prepare do die! :devil:

[Nikita]

omg!! i totally agree!! Grimmjaw's resurrección form is hawt!! Pantero is amazing!! I was looking forward to this battle since the day Ichigo saw Grimmjaw!

I was glad that Orihime finally admit to herself that she shouldn't be afraid of Ichigo's hollow form. When she shouted don't die, I knew Ichigo was gonna let loose his full power. And the fact that he can now hold onto his hollow form longer than 11 seconds is FTW!! About time that he can do that! Next week's episode is gonna be awesome!

ICHIGO FTW!! He get's the KICK ASS OF THE CENTURY AWARD! lol..

[Kamen Rider Tams]

Yes, Pantero is sexy but he is about to be kicked in his kitty litter. >.> XD

Agreed, Ichigo has grown so much compared to their first and last encounters with each other.

[Golden Storm]

I never really watched the anime, It's all about the manga for me to be honest, however your at one of the more intresting part's of the series by the sounds of it!

[Kamen Rider Tams]

^^I read the manga too. Watching the anime, for me, is seeing what I read in action and it is a beautiful thing. Although, at first the anime writers obviously did not believe Orihime and some of the other human characters would have the huge roles that they now have so they are kept on the back burner in movies and in the fillers, for the soul reapers to shine. >.<

But I can overlook it . . . most times. XD >.>

I love the new interview from the author/illustrator of the manga. The spoiler he dropped about Isshin having his own arc very soon is exciting.

[Nikita]

oh, how exciting is that...mainly b/c i want to know more about Isshin and why he's no longer a captain...

[Golden Storm]

Thats the one thing that's been irritating me, the fact isshin pops up and then disapears without a mention, I also want to know why if isshin was a soul reaper, how no one recognized the name kurosaki... still that should be good, my theory is he was something to do with the royal guard, or along those lines anyway.

[Kamen Rider Tams]

It was great that Isshin got a chance to be the one who killed the hollow that killed his wife. That was a great moment and the fact he did it without ever going Bankai . . . that is awesome. Isshin may have something to do with the royal guard.

I have this theory that Orihime is one of the royals.
