Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Grogrog on January 07, 2007, 07:56:59 pm
After a short scare with the intros of Bleach recently, where they had an intro that made it seem like they were going to be out of fillers:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=U3sCR2VqeY8

and then changing the animation to the intro, but keeping the song, which was basically a promotion to a (likely shitty movie) rather than a cop out.

After checking Wikipedia today, I found out something very nice.

110   "Reopening of the Substitute Business! The Terrifying Transfer Student"
"Daikō gyō saikai! Kyōfu no tenkōsei" (代行業再開!恐怖の転校生) - January 10, 2007

Finally Bleach is out of fillers! I started reading the post-soul society arc manga, and I found it really awsome, so awsome I decided to make myself stop reading it so I could watch it when it came out in anime format.

Now some of you have probably lost interest in Bleach, but I am still a very big fan, and I am pretty much just pretending the fillers never happened. >.>

The end of fillers was confirmed like 2 weeks ago btw.

Anyway, I am pretty sure there will only be one story arc and then it will go back to fillers. The manga is not that far ahead and the arc after the next arc isn't finished yet. But still, I'm happy about this and will definitely watch the next episode.

the Bount arc was still awesome though unlike in naruto where the fillers are just random episodes. the Bleach filler had some nice battles in it

Except it was really quite bad, so yeah, dunno what you are talking about.  :laugh:

And DS, I don't really follow these things too much, and I didn't see a topic about it, so I thought I would post about it.  :happy:

The bount arc wasn't any where near as good as the older bleach stuff, but its most definitely not the worst fillers ive ever seen, taking in the fact that as a filler, its not gonna be as good as the manga its actually pretty good,there were some pretty good fights a decent story and the animation quality wasn't to bad, whilst i doubt ill ever watch this arc again should i want to re-watch bleach it was worth watching it at least once, it shows that there is things out there with power other then Shinigami, Hollows and what comes in between.

Post by: reko on January 08, 2007, 01:05:34 am
Yeah I like Bleach a lot as well. The bount filler arc definitely wasn't awesome, except if you compare it to Naruto's fillers. Compared to them it was awesome. Anyway glad to see that it's picking up the main storyline again, even though I've read the manga up to latest chapter.

I was a huge fan of Bleach (it reached #5 on my top anime charts for a brief period) while it was not on filler, so I will be happy to pick it up again. I stopped at the last episode of the Soul Society arc, so should I dowload and watch the fillers or just pick up when the new arc starts?

It depends. I was able to tolerate the fillers for a while and think "Hey this is pretty good". Then it started slipping, and slipping. And then I just downloaded the manga, which was effing awsome, and stopped reading to wait for the anime.

If I were you I'd watch just from where the official arc starts up. The bount arc are basically an arc about

Ugh. It was crappy. The animation was terrible... I mean, was it ever that terrible, with the possible exception of the filler. It started out crappy, then got pretty good by the end I guess. But man I hope they do something to improve the animation... It's better to have just read more of the manga. ><

Unfortunatly I highly disagree...Ichigo bears no resemblense to Naruto, regardless of what he's wearing....the only thing is that they both have spikey hair...
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: DS on January 25, 2007, 10:10:30 am
This week's Bleach episode was the first actually good canon episode since fillers ended (well, the first one was pretty good too). I hope they'll ditch the filler characters for good before the major Arrancar action starts.

Post by: Swordfish on January 25, 2007, 11:31:30 am
Yeah, its realy starting to get a bit odd, haiving read the manga, and then well, them being there, kinda puts the pace off in my opnion. And no, ICHIGO DOES NOT LOOK LIKE NARUTO, you must have cumcumbers over your eyes to even see him like that.

EDIT: except for perhaps the hair.

Hmm, I was just thinking about starting a topic about this show and then I notice this one. I've never seen an episode of it before, why should I bother with it? It perked my interest after reading the latest VG Cats webcomic and now I want to know what all the hubbub is about. So basically, tell me why its so great.

Its all a matter of what you like. The bout arc did have some good fights, but the story was so-so. Not the best, but better then some.I don't read the bleach manga so I don't know if this is going to happen or not, but I hope to see more of Ichigos hollow comes out in the next one as it looks like it will in next weeks.

The Soul Society arc was so fucking awesome it's going to take me a minute.

 anyways, just watched 115 and just cant wait for 116 now. I got a bit more in depth info about the . One thing I hate AND love about bleach is that they keep you at the edge of your seat til the last second where you get a red stop saying "To be continued". ah well. The ending to 115 was AMAZING haha . Pure Epic.

I have a backlog of stuff I need to watch before getting back into Bleach, so I'll probably just skip the rest of the fillers even though I am a bit of a completist. .

I'm pretty sure any straight, non-engaged man would fall for that one. If anything, it'd give me a chance to punch those balls until they deflate and increase her plot-value. And make no mistake, I could hit those for days.

OMG, I just got through watching the Bounto arc on Youtube, although I'd skipped quite a number of episodes starting with the English Ver. of the episodes revolving around Ichigo regaining his Soul Reaper/shinigami powers.  Bleach is officially > all.

NOTE TO XENO-SOFT: Oh!  So, the guy I was talking about and the Zaraki you were referrng to is your avatar...  Yeah, that guy is pretty bad ass.  He does seem considerbly stronger than Byukuya(sp), but he doesn't seem to match him in speed, atleast from what I've seen..

so what did everyone think of 117? imo it was perfect for my expectations. Not enough fighting, but just enough of Rukia <3 . They finally show Chad (or sado?). I hope he gets like some new uber power (like instead of that one arm, he gets a full blowin suit). now that'd be awesome. I want to see Ikkaku's upcoming fight. + hopefully they show ichigo 's dad in some of the new episodes.

This is why having read the manga first isn't always a good thing, i know what happens next (don't worry, i stopped reading the manga, and i remain tight lipped about it.) despite that, it's still a good episode, and yeah RUKIA was awesome (what, animation > static manga images, even if you get to find out what happens in the story earlier) oh and for the record, i also know what happens to sado (well partly) and that it's awesome. (well i think it is)

It's great that Bleach got back to following the manga. Till now I've found every one of those non-filler episodes great (the first few could be better though), but the ones which really stood out were 114 (awesome animation) and 117 (Rukia's shikai and fight match ups). Next ep looks great!

Ep 109, which is the end to the Bount(o) arc, is actually a semi-filler I hear, so you could download it. If not, start with ep 110.

Here's to hoping it keeps this up for a while anyway!

It's weird because when I saw the latest episode, I actually got an odd feeling of "Marvel Comics", which I can't explain at all considering I don't even read comic books. Then again, I've had that odd dbz warning bell ever since the second half of the SS arc. But considering how they have gotten everything right so far (well, right given a fair amount of leeway), I'm not so worried about that. I mean, they made a filler arc that wasn't complete trash, they keep making wide gaps in power level differences and haven't contradicted themselves yet (a feat dbz failed at from nearly the start). Hell, that second to latest episode proved they could even get FANSERVICE right. (It gave the warning bells of fanservice from like, a MILE away, and it still caught me off guard. I'm actually ashamed I couldn't predict it.)

Although it would suck if they started going "too far" with it before all the important stuff gets resolved (hopefully it will be resolved during this arc).

It is called BLEACH, because Ichigo's natural hair colour is orange, and that is usually the clour it turns when people dye their hair with bleach.
And, every anime has to have a LOL SPECIAL person there.

then how come no one else does it huh?!??!!

1. Because it's stupid.
2. It doesn't come out a nice even shade of anime orange like ichigo's hair.
3. Because i'm fairly sure that bleach burns your scalp aswell.

I still can't belive I missed that connection with the show's name. (I'm thuroughly embarrased)
Makes me love the show even more, since it's solid proof the show doesn't take itself seriously that I can explain to other people who have never even heard of it!

Me: No, you don't understand. Bleach isn't like other shoen such as Naruto or DBZ. You see, it doesn't take itself seriously.
Other Person: Oh really, and you expect me to believe you?
Me: But the show is called "Bleach".
Other Person: So?
Me: The main character's hair is orange.
Other Person: *long pause* Okay. I'll check it out.

Ichigo was teased about being born naturaly with that hair, so was Orihime(That is why she cut her hair, she was teased about it.)

Thats as deep as "BLEACH" gets when it comes ichigo. However it has many implications when it comes to hollows.

Guys, it's not cliche, it's a genre. That's like saying "It's cliche for fantasy stories to have magic in them." It's practically part of the definition of the term to begin with: shounen manga/anime, especially shounen action, almost always center around someone who is or will some day be the best in their given field.

I always thought it was called bleach, because like bleach kills germs and cleanses the area of dirtyness, Shinigami kill hollows and cleans them for going into soul socitety (its stated in the anime that hollows that are killed, are infact cleansed and taken to soulsociety, unless they killed in life, then which they go to hell.
EDIT: i never knew bleaching your hair turned it orange, i thought doing that would kill all your hair and burn your scalp :P

actually if don't even needed to have watched the whole episode to know why there abillites were sealed, remember the episode neer the beginning where Renji and Ichigo fight for the first time? or the second time, i'm not entirely sure, Renji mentions that when Vice captain class or above go to the human world there power is limited as to not cause problems there and i think thats why Ichigo's powers were having an effect on Orohime and Chad, because his powers weren't limited So prolonged exposure was causing them to gain power.

Post by: Swordfish on April 01, 2007, 11:40:52 pm
Please notice that the pretty boy shinigami wasn't shown doing the limit thing, only the boy captain(i can't remember his name, so shoot me), Renji and Matsumoto were shown to do that and there all captain class and above. No point mentioning Rukia since she was unconscious by this time. so that kinda proves it even more that what i said was true, i can't go back and watch that bit since those episodes are on a disk and i have lost it)

I've been wondering why Ichigo's powers weren't limited when he went back in the world, do you think its because he is a human and thus they have no jurisdiction over him? Also why do you think he had Shinigami powers in the first place (not the ones he gained from Rukia, if you remember, it was said that he had is own ).

P.S. i know why he has a hollow within.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Standard Toaster on April 01, 2007, 11:48:21 pm
PS. Why he has a hollow within was revealed like 100 episodes ago gj.

Also Ichigo's powers aren't limited because he isn't part of the 13 Protection Squads, and Rukia's aren't because she isn't a ranking officer. Ichigo has Shinigami powers mostly just because of his immense spirit force and because his dad was one. (this is speculation) And yea Ikkaku and that other guy are ranked 3rd and 5th seat so they don't have limits either.

That really is the most logical option to think, even though it is a theory, it really has logic to it.
I mean, when Ichigo was gaining his shinigami powers back, the chain of fate nearly eroded, and the hollow mask came first.
Then he fought it off and the mask kept coming back.
Even though this is a theory, seems very logical to me.
P.S This doesn't really need a tag, since all this shit is in like, episode 19 - 30.

Thus why it was revealed about 100 episodes ago.

To be frank I wouldn't be suprised if all if all of the Vaizard achieved their status this way, as it was never really explained if the Shinigami were people who died, and thus had their chain things eaten away and/or recieved a soul burial.

Post by: DS on April 02, 2007, 10:37:51 pm
Try to understand that Wiki can be edited by anyone and everyone. If it hasn't been completely confirmed in either anime or manga, then that's that. There is no room for debate and that's a fact. I agree that it's very likely that's how Ichigo got his hollow (although I don't think that's the reason) but it's not confirmed and you don't know for a fact that's how it happened. There's only one person who can give us the answer and that's the author of Bleach. Not some random dude on wikipedia. End of story.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: EvilDemonCreature on April 03, 2007, 12:37:59 am
I never even thought about it before. Mainly because I never figured it needed thinking about in the first place. I mean looking at the way the episode was set up, he was at between 90-99 percent hollowfication when he finally acheived his death-god powers (if you consider how much of his "world" got blown away and turned into cardboard boxes a good indicator). Not to mention the fact that the mask covered his face, and he had to rip it off during the process (since it's been mentioned in almost every post.) And even in this arc, given how the Arrancar go on and on about how important the whole mask thing is. I mean I'm not saying it's bad for you to have your doubts, but there is so much evidence on this side of thought the series and you guys dismissing it offer NOTHING of your own to back up your points, except "All of what you say is circumstantial. There is nothing definite about it!" If Bleach was a novel, you guys would get F's on your midterm. (while us on the otherhand, would get at least C's or low B's)

Then again, I am very skeptical of that being the cause, not because it isn't the most fucking logical thing in the universe, but because it is the most fucking logical thing in the universe. HEAVEN FORBID that the writers of this show do something that everyone predicts. My prediction is that they do something unexpected for the sole reason of it being unexpected.

And at that point, I'll will most likely drop this show for good.

But seriously speaking, Why can't you guys just go and beleive what the show wants you to beleive? I mean what do you guys need? For one of the main characters to say, "Well, that hollow inside of Ichigo is due to him almost turning when trying to regain his death god powers"? I mean, yes. I know that there is no way of knowing what the author knows when it comes to this particular aspect of Bleach, but I think the author has made it pretty fucking clear what he wants you to think. Can't you just give in to the author's wishes?

And I am serious that if it turns out to be some random bullshit thing that has absolutley NOTHING to do with Ichigo almost turning into a hollow, I will blame it on bad writing and quit this show for good. I mean the only exception is that it'd have to be a pretty spectacular and fucking classy reason that's beyond compare, (even classier than the soul society arc spoilers) and it's kinda silly to have such an expectation.

Yeah but he didn't become hollow. There's so much we don't know yet which is why I believe it's too early to decide on anything. Not to mention THE SHOUNEN CLICHE where the main character gets through a bad situation on the last imaginable moment. Again, I'm not saying it's not likely that's how he got his hollow powers, I'm just saying it's not nearly as obvious as you seem to think. Because it isn't. You have to admit it seems like there might be more to it. I never once thought the author wants you to believe that's how Ichigo got his hollow powers and you haven't convinced me either. You can call it bad writing and you can call me dumb for not giving in to author's your wishes but that's what I believe all things considered. Too bad.

and btw the whole BELIEVE WHAT AUTHOR WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE WITHOUT GIVING A DEFINITE ANSWER argument is pretty ridiculous. if anything, that just indicates that there might be more to it. and no, i don't think that's bad writing at all. decide on that after knowing what will happen, not before.

First of all, the reason for Ichigo's hybridization has never been a major issue or point of mystery in the anime. Because Kubo isn't drawing any attention to it, most people assume that it isn't of much consequence, and logically deduce that his Hollow half must have developed during Urahara's training.

However, if you look at how Kubo has been writing Bleach so far, you'll see that there really isn't much of a basis to that assumption, because he seems to pull random plot details and twists out of thin air. Remember the Huge Hollows that attacked Hinamori's class, or the Hollow that fused with Kaien? There was never any need to question where they came from (just as there doesn't seem to be a need to question where Ichigo's Hollow half came from), yet along comes Aizen to explain to everyone that he was actually behind all of that.


Basically, I have a feeling that there's more to Ichigo's hybridization than it seems. Incidentally, there's a theory that it has something to do with the Hougyoku being inside Rukia when she first gives Ichigo Shinigami powers...

I thought the Hougyoku wasn't in Rukia until she got the gigai from Urahara, which was after Ichigo had already received shinigami powers.

I'm pretty sure it's never stated that the implantation of the Hougyoku occured when Rukia entered the modified Gigai, just that Urahara did at one point implant the Hougyoku, and that the purpose of the Gigai was to hide Rukia. Otherwise, that would mean that Urahara had only just recently concealed the Hougyoku, which doesn't make much sense considering he made it back when he was still a captain.

yeah your right DS, well there is one thing i could mention that would defiantly provide some incite as to where he gained the hollow, but it would spoil the story (i was reading ahead in the manga, but i have stopped now)

My point is that it's the only explanation the author gave, and if he didn't want you to think that's THE explanation, why did he give it in the first place? I can understand where you are coming from, but situations like that usually stem from when the show gives absolutley no explanation for things. (I do believe your thoughts have a heavy basis, but in order for them to work and make sense, the writing will have to reach a whole new level, which I doubt Bleach is capable of)

I mean, to give something a perfectly reasonable and logical explanation, only to take it away in favor of pulling a random plot point out of thin air. Yes I consider that bad writing where I come from.

Did you read my post? Pulling random plot points out of thin air is what Kubo has been doing so far.

I thought he implanted it into the Gigai, which he then gave to Rukia.

That's never explicitly stated, though (unless I missed something...). The impression I got from Aizen's explanation was that Urahara implanted it in Rukia soon after creating and failing to destroy it, which would be long before Rukia came to the real world. Of course, this alone wouldn't be sufficient, so he created the Gigai to hide Rukia, and when she depleted her powers giving them to Ichigo, Urahara finally had an excuse to give her the Gigai.

Just saw episode 121, and all i can say is that the animation quality is fantastic, especially with the fight between Ichigo and Grimjow. also the new opening i a bit weird but it seams to focus on Ichigo's Hollowisation. All i can say is that as long as all fights are of the quality of this episodes then it won't matter if the animation for non fighting isn't that good (but it still should be of some sort of good quality). 
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: bible_basher on April 12, 2007, 03:47:41 pm
Same here, I thought episode 121 was much better than 120, especially the fight ichigo ad grimjow.
I think the opening is quite good, but will take some getting used to for me but anyways :bravo:
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ohlichris on April 12, 2007, 04:22:02 pm
The opening is full of spoilers. Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode thanks to the fantastic animation. I think it's unfair that Bleach gets all these great looking episodes while Naruto doesn't (the reason is probably since Bleach will go back to fillers soon though).

Openings are always full of spoilers. For instance I was re-watching G Gundam yesterday (lol), and a ton of the evil Gundams are revealed about halfway before they are actually introduced.

just to say, i changed my mind i like the new opening and like NinjaPirate said, Most anime opening's reveal what event's are going to happen, so not really a new thing.  Still i like it and it's a change form the usual more rocky style of opening (not that i'm against that, i mean i like rock music)

P.S. the shinigami Cup golden thing is funny this episode :P

aye, too bad he has to heal people sooo many times before he can use it, and even then those are weak enemies, PLUS it turns into a scalpel, what's he gonna do with that? (scalpels are nastily sharp though)
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: EvilDemonCreature on April 13, 2007, 02:07:11 am
They do like putting red charge bars on soul-slayers nowadays.

And the scapel thing is obviously a psychological weapon, intended to play on the deep hidden traumas of the enemy stemming from his past experiences with surgeons.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: bible_basher on April 13, 2007, 11:27:06 am
I know what you mean, Hanatarou's zanpaktou.
A scalpel could really act like a dagger, would have a lot of effect on where the sun don't shine :)

animation quality is fantastic, especially with the fight between Ichigo and Grimjow.

 :hmm: the "quality" might've been ok but what pissed me off was the fact that during the fight (well when ) they kept showing the same animation over and over. all they changed during it was grim laughing or some other sound effects.  :confused:​. other than that the episode was ok

That's how most anime do repetitive motions, plus it only lasted about 20 secs, not even Disney would make separate motion for each punch, they would also repeat it. I counted about 3 or 4 different punches and  then they repeated that sequence, however your point is completely 100% valid, and i have to admit i would have like different punches instead of a repeated sequence,sadly its just not plausible to do it.

Is it me or is ichigo suddenly weak? i mean one minute he's easily strong as most of the captains if not stronger, yet against arancara(sp) he's pretty damn weak mean:
 Ichigo > zaraki > Tousen (i hate him) > Grimjow > Ichigo
kinda wired isn't it?
also whats your fave bleach character, i think mines Aizen just cos i think he's cool, i used to like Ichigo as my most fave, but now i don't and personly i think the thread's he's wearing when he goes Bankai is just stupid (but the weapon i like as its completely unique with the ideology of bankai in mind). I think he looked his best when he fought those 3 Vice captains Bare handed.

Who says Tousen is stronger than Grimmjow? I mean I bet Grimmjow is a lot stronger, but the only reason he is subordinated is because Tousen is the messenger of Aizen.

The reason Ichigo is suddenly weak is because his hollow is supressing him.
Did you see what happened when he fired the Getsuga Tenshou? (yeah i know ima japfag)
His hollow started to try and take over.
Anyays, my favorite bleach character is Hitsugaya. He's just so cool :)

BTW, either the manga translators screwd up, or dattebayo did, since its actuly Baldy she says, baldy since he doesn't have a usable mask at the moment :P. still yeah i think this episode was great but, umm didn't his hollow form sound a bit wired this time? i can under stand when Ichigo is  fighting the hollow no one is in control of his body so its gonna act rather brainless, but what about when he was stangling Hiyori.

I liked this episode because now we don't need to waste time with Ichigo's inner fight anymore, but I didn't like the "hmm running out of plot lets put in something never mentioned ever" part that most longrunning stories fall into. Also, ever since the new intro started I've noticed a substantial increase in animation quality, is there any particular reason for this?
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Rowen on May 11, 2007, 08:57:43 pm
Episode 125 was pretty-fucking-awesome.  I thought was fucking BEAST.  However, what I don't get is what exactly happened to ?  I understand that Ichigo's inner Hollow , but now that Ichigo has control over , shouldn't Old Man Zangetsu ?

..and I don't want to spoil myself through the manga, even though I have a bit already..
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: CorporateGreed on May 13, 2007, 11:04:55 am
Yeah, Zangetsu returns, and if I remember correcty, he did return at the same time in
the manga. They screwed over this part of the manga big time in the anime.

Other than that, Bleach's plot isn't very long winded. The Bounto Saga may make it
look like that, but it's actually just:
1: Ichigo gets powers, Kuchiki loses em, and is taken to soul society for execution
2: Soul Society Arc, Aizen gets the hell out of there
3. The Aizen aftermath, the Arrancar Saga

Seriously, it's not 'lets take some plot detail we never mentioned ever because we
don't know what to write about anymore'.

This was planned, and the reason the king was never mentioned is, like Matsumoto
says, 'because they don't even feel like he's there'. It was just never important. The
king doesn't do crap, so why bother to introduce him to the Soul Society invaders?

I thought we were just supposed to assume he comes back. I mean, its not like we need VISUAL PROOF or anything. Also, I'm just wondering but how did the Manga adapt to the year or so time it took for the Houkyowhatever to mature?

Also if the king isn't important, then why is Aizen interested in making the key?Even if he someohow kills the king and becomes one, that doesn't change that the king doesn't do anything.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ohlichris on May 14, 2007, 06:56:47 am
The King is obviously important, but just doesn't sshow himself often making people like Matsumoto forget that he even exists. Aizen probably wants to get to the King's dimension so that he can end up ruling from his throne (remember what Aizen said before he left Soul Society? It could be this that he was talking about).

If I remember correctly, Aizen just went about using it on hollows, creating freaks
like the Grand Fisher. Somehow, this caused the Hyougoku (or something) to awake
much faster, resulting in a big problem for the Shinigami and humans.

That's what I'm wondering about myself. It must be of vital importance, but I think
there'll be a big plotshift somewhere in the middle of the saga, just like in the
Soul Society Arc.

Also, I'll look up the Zangetsu thing today.

Quick question concerning the soundtrack.  Does anyone know the names of the two themes that play during episode 125 when Ichigo and Kenpachi are discussing "battle" instinct (its during the scene where the kanji is displayed; it's right before Ichigo rips Tensa Zangetsu out of his stomach).  The other plays after Ichigo has impaled his inner Hollow with Tensa Zangetsu and his inner Hollow begins to dematerialize/burn away..  I REALLY want those two songs, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're not gonna find those yet, at least until 10 to 15 episodes later, or the end of the
season. Unless you're Japanese and friends with the director. I have no idea whatsoever.

Also, I read the manga yesterday, it seems I was confused with another part of the series.

Been watching this more and more... and I have to say...

...

it has the worst music ever.

Are you kidding? Hell! I'm looking for the soundtrack so I can load it into my I-pod shuffle and set it to random! (I want to go about my day but play along with whatever background music is set. That'll be fun.)

Well... to be fair... I just caught up to the Bounto arc (and have decided to skip it).
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Standard Toaster on July 13, 2007, 11:06:07 pm
Bleach has decent music, but considering I like the opening themes the most (which are licensed anyway) that really isn't saying much. The other music is pretty good for ambiance and things like that but as far as the actual quality of music is it pretty plain.

Well... to be fair... I just caught up to the Bounto arc (and have decided to skip it).

You aren't missing much (then again, I can't say because I skipped it too).

If you want to catch the last few battles of it, start back on ep 100, if not, then go to ep 110-115 (I forget which).

Post by: Ghost_Aspergers on July 14, 2007, 02:15:10 am
I got 117-119 and the most recent one already. I decided to go in order just so I don't miss anything relavent. One thing I must say is that Ikkaku much more likable now than when he first appeared.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: EvilDemonCreature on July 14, 2007, 04:55:31 pm
Yeah, you are pretty much guranteed to like him at least a little once you get to the "Ikkaku = awesome" episode.

Well the fillers just ended with this weeks episode. I was pretty disspointed that nothing really happened... at all. I mean I suppose is pretty important but its not like we had seen those characters before. Also they are making us wait another two weeks for the next episode... I wonder why they keep on doing this.

Oh... Well that makes some more sense then.

At least it isn't LOL RANDOM EPISODE or that gay series about the siblings (seriously what were they thinking there)

I still think its unneccessary to have two week breaks twice in a row.. especially for filler.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ohlichris on August 11, 2007, 10:05:39 pm
Well the arc Bleach is about to enter isn't over yet in the manga, but these arrancar episodes should be of better quality seeing as we have to wait two weeks for an episode.

Watching this now and it's a great bloody show... but I can't be arsed with fillers, so, could someone list the filler arcs and which episodes they take up so I can skip them? Unless one of them is really good that is!

Post by: Ephiam on August 13, 2007, 11:24:27 pm
Well, I just recently restarted the series again. On episode 7 as of now. Finally, a show in which I can watch the dubs of =D

I don't know WHY I restarted, exactly....I just did =X. I forgot how great Bleach was.

Episode 60 to 110 and 125 to now? Something like that. It's pretty disappointing.

125-now?

Close, but the fillers started at episode 128. From what I've heard we're back at the story with ep 138 "Second move of Hueco Mundo! Hitsugaya vs Yammy". I'd avoid watching these recent fillers except for ep 133 (the kendo episode). That episode was both funny and beautiful (experimental in a way).
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Bisse on August 14, 2007, 12:15:12 am
So uh what 1-60 is canon and... then everything up until now is just fillers??
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ohlichris on August 14, 2007, 12:55:42 am
Ep 1 to 6? (thinking 65) -- canon
Ep 6? to 110 -- filler
Ep 110 to 128 -- canon
Ep 128 to 138 (I heard 137 is the last filler ep) -- filler

You might want to watch ep 109 since I heard some of it is based on an extra chapter from the manga.

Whoah. I read that wrong the first tme. Thought you said Episode 6 to 110 was filler o.o

Well, even if there is quite a nice bit of it I'm still gonna watch it. Which episode does the Bounto arc start on?
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ghost_Aspergers on August 14, 2007, 01:09:53 am
Bounto + Bounto's Attack on the Soul Society are the 60-110 fillers.

We CAN wait, we'd RATHER wait, we are not going to die. PLEASE DO NOT BUTCHER IT ANY LONGER. Even Naruto's fillers are acceptable because they weren't between normal episodes like in Bleach, they were just a crapload of crappy fillers which you could just skip and get riiiiight back into the good stuff. In Bleach, you don't know what you're gonna get: a shitty filler or a normal episode? ITS ALL RANDOM. OH MY GOD. fawk that crap, I'm gonna go watch Claymore. No fillers there and every single episode is orgasmically good. Just like how Bleach was and should be, YET IT ISN'T! NOOOOOOOOOO!

By experimental I meant the Kendo/Soccer/Cake episodes, which parodied the typical Bleach episode formula with mundane tasks. Needless to say, they weren't like the BEST EPISODES EVER or anything but imo they were better than the filler arc before it (lol clone hollows).

don't watch them then
Why do you even make useless posts like that? We can complain and still watch it. There ARE enjoyable episodes, all I'm saying is that the fillers suck and complaining because they ruin the epicness of the series.

Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Mirthless on August 20, 2007, 05:12:03 am
My memory might be fooling me but I recall the Kendo and Soccer ones (or the buhuhuhauhahaha one?) being in the middle of real episodes. Well, I don't remember, I could swear there was some like... episode episode episode filler episode episode episode... etc
Also, it feels like its random when the arcs are so short, like the arrancar/madarame one. It was like... fillers - couple of episodes - fillers - more real episodes. There doesn't have to be fillers after every single thing that happens. Imagine if Naruto would've had a filler arc after every single thing. After Zabuza, after the exam, after the tournament, after Gaara, blablabla you get the point.

Well, I guess one thing that is kinda realistic about the fillers is that it'll take time for Ichigo, Chad, and others to train before the upcoming battle. So all these fillers are kinda 'filling' the time in which Ichigo is training in to control his inner hollow for a longer duration of time. Of course, they could have just skipped the training and such, but the fillers aren't that bad. At least it gives other characters more screentime.
The one thing I hate about the fillers is that in the latest episode That's just plain stupid in my opinion.

Bleach anime seems to currently be on volume 26/27 (?) while the manga's on 29 (there are still more chapters though they haven't been published in volume form yet). There might be a few fillers since the manga hasn't finished the arc yet. I hope they're good fillers and that they fit well...

God damn it, this episode was a bit of a let down. It was alright, I suppose. I creamed , and the whole going to HM thing was pretty cool, but not a whole lot happened this ep. Oh well! Next week's looks set to be awesome, and judging by the manga, definitely should be.

Ohh...the 3rd opening, I liked that one the best as well. Ichirin No Hana? I think that is it's name. Anyway, I didn't watch the RAW either...I just looked at the opening =P

Post by: Ohlichris on October 17, 2007, 08:25:04 pm
I just watched the opening. It's a little weird compared to the other ones. The way they showed the credits didn't appeal to me at all and there wasn't all that much action. The art style used was pretty cool and I like how the logo's flames were done.

My favorite op was the one with the flower at the beginning, best music and  imho the coolest intro anim. I won't watch the raw, rather wait for the translation by DB, but thanks any way.
DB stopped subbing Bleach in a completely asshole move.

You mean the people that are infamous for trolling said they dropped a series like Bleach?
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Swordfish on October 17, 2007, 09:45:18 pm
whilst i agree with chainer, there notorious for there trolling. I'm horrified to think there even doing it as a joke. bleach might not be the greatest, and yes it is predictable but ill be damned if it ain't awesome. Even there fillers are of good quality and they defiantly don't skimp on the animation (not that i could tell) so yeah my two err, penny's?
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Standard Toaster on October 17, 2007, 09:50:03 pm
I meant it was an asshole move because it is a really popular series and they are dropping it for something (relatively) unheard.

After doing some research it looks like no one outside of Japan would understand it. Not because it is LOL WACKY, but because it is just that deeply entrenched in Japanese culture.

No. I don't really pay attention to FANSUB NEWS WEEKLY, nor did I even visit the DB site until like 2 weeks ago.

But uhh they definately have started subbing this new show and the raw for Bleach 144 has been out for a little while without subs so~

And you think I did?

I was only a "fan" of Naruto from Episode 40 to 60 (I started with ep 40, the current one at the time, started from the begining, worked my way up to 60, then lost interest). And I was never much of a Bleach fan. I mean... I watched the whole series within a span of a week... catching the current ones about once every two months or so.. but that's it. But that's besides the point.

They are infamous for trolling in this way. I think it took them 1-2 weeks before they started releasing Naruto again.

I agree with Chainer. They've said things like this in the past (like saying they'd drop Naruto for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl) but they continue subbing the series. They probably say these things if there's some kind of problem with their staff.

Hey, did anyone notice in the new OP at 24 seconds, Nell is in it? This pretty much confirms the theory that there'll be a filler arc with him/her/it, methinks. o.o I don't know much about Nell, see; only played the PSP game (Heat The Soul 4) and that's abut it. Still. Sweet!
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ohlichris on October 19, 2007, 01:46:54 pm

I don't mind that sort of thing (much), but if they are going to make a "Hey check out my badass new powers" episode, they really shouldn't make the animation that shoddy. It didn't look like the animators had very much fun with it, and it really hurt the appeal granted it was an episode that was supposed to be about "hey lets have fun kicking arrancar ass". Sure they sounded badass, and did badass things if you describe them, but it didn't come off as badass to me while I was actually watching it.

My tolerance for this show is growing thin again.

Agreed. The the quality was like REALLY REALLY HIGH for the majority of the Arrancar arc (excluding fillers) and now its back to like the first arc's quality.


wtf Bleach?
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ohlichris on October 19, 2007, 07:53:12 pm
The quality is probably lowering since we're going to get a few fillers. I expect the Hueco Mundo arc to get much better quality wise.

I also can't wait for the next episode. We get to see the Espada's anime debut (not counting openings)!

Also Nell is a girl.....

Bleach 145 is out. I liked it. The anime makes Hueco Mundo look really cool and I think all of the Espada's voices fit them (especially the blond girl and the masked guy with two voices).
Title: BLEACH!

That was a pretty dull episode, but good enough to pass the time, I suppose. Anyone else notice they slowed down Nell's running in the OP? Probably not, probably just me :(

It was nice seeing all the Espada, at least.

On another note, they changed the opening animation again! (Nell runs like 144 now) Make up your mind, Pierrot! :(

EDIT: Oh, EvilDemon, this episode was actually fairly canon and important, so I'd recommend you watch it.

Post by: Ohlichris on November 01, 2007, 10:30:51 am
It was actually a pretty good episode. The animation was better than the last two episodes. I also like Nel's voice (the voice actress really makes her sound like a toddler) and the episode was funny. Made me feel like playing tag... weird.

Wait, wait, wait, I'm totally getting confused. There was another one past the one ? I guess I can't remember the episode well. The next three episodes are fillers, so that might tie in with it.

Man, I really cannot remember that episode.

EDIT: Oh, yeah. Who knows, man? Guess we'll just have to wait a couple of days.

Post by: Christophomicus on November 08, 2007, 05:14:21 am
Man, if the other three fillers are like this, I could definitely live with it. Loved today's episode for some reason.

Though I'm getting confused on the levels of Hollow. The order and what they look like. Can anyone help me out here?

EDIT: Get it now, wiki knows all. Here's my original post for all who care.

Here's how I understand it now. There is a type of Hollow called Menos (Grande?), and under that you have:
Gillian - Normal
Adjuhas - More human-like, mostly what
Vasto Lorde - Unrevealed as of yet?

Quote
Gillian - Normal low level Hollow
Adjuhas - Spelt wrong, don't care. What do these look like?
Menos Grande - The huge black ones with the huge mask
Vasto Lorde - Is this

And to the best of my knowledge it goes like this (weakest to strongest)

Gillian -> Adjuhas -> Menos Grande -> Arrancar -> Espada -> Vasto Lorde

Or am I wrong again? x_x
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ephiam on November 08, 2007, 11:20:15 am
Oh? A new episode? Woot! I definitly gotta watch this this evening.

Anyway, yeah. It seems as though you have got it right. However, I think of it like this;

Gillian: Least human-like. Also the least-intelligent.

Adjuchas: More human like that gillain, and also smarter. More beast-like.

Vasto Lord: The most human-like and the strongest of the bunch. it is the most intelligent as well. and...going from what Hitsugaya said, it seems like is a Vasto Lord. After all, it was his image that appeared (or something similar. It was all black) when he was explaining the Vastolord and adjuchas.

I'm fairly certain that all the Espada are Vasto Lords, if only for the fact that they all maintain a perfectly human appearance. The lesser Arrancar, like the first ones Ichigo, Chad, and Ishida fought when they first entered Los Noches are Adjuhas I'm pretty sure.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ohlichris on November 08, 2007, 09:24:48 pm
Hollows become more human in appearance once their masks are removed, becoming arrancar. The espada are some of the most human looking hollows probably due to being the most powerful arrancar in Hueco Mundo. The arrancar that Ichigo, Chad and Ishida faced when they first entered Las Noches are probably either imperfect arrancar (something like Grand Fisher I think) or adjuchas/gillians.

EDIT:
Quote from: Chainer
I think I will take another 3 year hiatus from Bleach. Watching it is only worth it in short bursts when you can ignore fillers at your leisure. The week by week thing is not working for me.
Aha! Now, the wording of this sentence implies that you have taken a previous hiatus of similar length. However, this is not possible! Bleach has only been airing for JUST over three years as is (2004-10-05, according to ANN). The first MAJOR fillers were introduced in the form of the Bount arc, though you could argue that the Soul Society arc featured a few as well. Soul Society arc starts at... episode 20? 19? Somewhere around there. That's 20/4 = 5 months (20 = episode number, 4 = number of episodes per month). The fillers for Soul Society didn't even really come in until 35 or so anyway. This is when you could have taken your break, leaving you no room for a three year break.

Let's say you're talking about the Bount arc; I will assume you are because I recall having heard/seen you express your distaste at the arc previously. That starts at ROUGHLY 70 episodes in. Somewhere around 68 or something, isn't it? I'm not entirely sure, tbh, and I can't be bothered checking, so feel free to correct me on this. 70/4 = ~17 months, which is a year and five months. Now, accounting for the fact that occasionally there is week without an episode, we'll subtract 8 episodes from that amount. This brings us down to 1 year and 3 months, which leaves you with again no room for a three year break.

So! You cannot take "another" 3 year hiatus from Bleach (is that even the right word to use? Break or something along the same lines would be a better choice, I am thinking)! Another break, to be sure, but not a 3 year one. :rite:

I am not trying to call you out and be a dick or whatever, just something I noticed that annoyed me. Over-analyzing? Reading in it too much? Definitely. But it provides, at most, an incredibly mildly amusing break from studying for my finals.

Post by: Ghost_Aspergers on November 18, 2007, 09:03:09 am
I started the series when it did... then dropped it at 7 or so when I realized there was a whole lot of nothing going on. I had given up on it by then. I picked it up again about two months ago and watched it all within the span of a few days after I found out what Bleach was really about... got caught up.. and then got bored again. It's a pretty simple concept.

Way to be a dick about it though.

I totally loved 149. It was just, like, the perfect mix of everything, and I'm glad they went back to non-filler for the last few minutes. The animation was great, though, except for a few select places... overall, though, fantastic episode, one of the best in weeks.

152 has been out since last week from a different subber.

Anyway I thought it was pretty cool (especially when Ichigo goes Hollow mode for like .5 seconds) except for the last part which is pretty lame imo. (But at least it makes him realize that he can't go around being nice all the time)

Man this episode rocked! I loved it from the beginning till the end (especially the end). The animation was more detailed, there were two remixed tracks (better than the old versions) and the pacing was great, even though I get the impression that they're moving too fast with this arc. This episode also made me really appreciate Hueco Mundo's architecture.

I thought it was a bit dull, tbh, but I watched it straight after the Naruto 40-41 double ep, so I suppose that's to be expected. You're right, though, the animation was nice, and I thought I was the only one who noticed the remixed tracks. :>

Ishida was animated kinda strangely, though, I dunno. Bring on the Renji and Chad fights, I say!

RAWs I've been waiting for since the 22nd, haven't seen any sign of any, so raws are pretty much out of the question. Judging that the release date is pretty much the same as Memories of Nobody, we should be getting subs of The Diamonddust Rebellion by late-August -> mid-September.

I found 155 pretty boring tbh. I mean, it had all the makings of a good episode, and I should've enjoyed it, but the only things I really liked about it were "Kaien"'s released Zanpakutou, they animated that better than I thought. I guess reading ahead in the manga does sometimes drag you down.

Nah, I can tell he's making a joke.

It's obvious he's joking from the fact that his mention of a "scale of badassery" in reference to bleach characters makes no mention of Kenpachi whatsoever (now if he mentioned Kenny in any position that isn't #1, then it's no longer a joking matter!).

Putting "Mr pretentious flower petal guy" at the top of the list is what makes the joke funny.

Hey Ephiam you should try those youtube manga people upload with the music.'

I recommend ToniChrysa, I was reading them recently and stop at chapter 303. Chapter 302 was executed so well that I didn't even noticed I was reading a manga. Seriously, it was really really good and commend him on an excellent job!

If you ever read up/past that then check out Bleach 302 by ToniChrysa. The other ones are good and his recent stuff looks nice too.

264... or something, can't be passed 270. I'm basing this from memory and last weeks episode as I never watch this weeks ep.

I don't think that guy I mentioned above starts that low, I think he started doing it around 285, and his work got much better around 290.

Good luck though, there should be other people who do the manga+music on youtube if you look around.

For those who want to know when the second bleach movie'll be subbed...

It'll be about 4 or 5 days after the Japanese release of the DVD. Dattebayo is the only
subgroup subbing Bleach (and it's movies) and they refuse to sub anything below dvd
quality.

I have to catch up with the episodes. I've only been reading the manga, and it sounds
like the battles are catching up to where it gets good ^^

So I was checking http://randomc.animeblogger.net/ for some news and found this:

Quote
The big news this week, if you haven’t yet heard, is that they recently announced that a new character named Amagai Shuusuke would be taking over the third division captain position that Ichimaru Gin vacated. More importantly though, the story will be returning to Soul Society starting sometime in April for what looks to be something anime original. It was of course only a matter of time before something like this happened, but I really don’t know how it’s going to work since, according to some spoilers, everyone will still be in Hueco Mundo at least until the April 2nd episode (). Here’s to hoping things don’t get completely screwed up…

So it's going to be something like the Karakura Heroes episode in the middle of the SS arc I think. Sounds pretty interesting though.

Post by: NovaGenesis on March 22, 2008, 03:02:25 pm
It is getting interesting again now all the fodder Espada are done away with yes. However the is a both predictable and ridiculous in some ways. Like how he fights evenly with Grimm the #6, and will now somehow be able to take down despite being stomped by him a few hours previously. Unless he has some sort of epiphany like he did against Kenpachi back in SS theres no way he can logically beat base let alone released.

The upcoming will be more interesting, notice how theres six invaders and six captains as well, which will probably mean 6 one on ones. And the fraccion and VC's will probably fight as well.

My guesses for matchups are:



I would then go on to guess that SS will lose overall and Urahara and Isshin will arrive to save/evacuate them.

How did that happen? Did I miss something?

Kenpachi Zaraki is bleach's "Anti Hero Bad ass" arche type.

Nothing short of Aizen coming to him and kicking him in the crotch will be able to stop him, of course he won't actually fight anyone that could beat him. That would go against the fundamental bad ass rule.

I'm really curious to see what happens and how Ichigo gets his next power-up.  I'm thinking that there's going to be another "Hollow" state that he can reach or something, similar to how Super Saiyajin worked.  Something where he could basically not only don his Hollow mask, but perhaps start transforming like he did when they were teaching him to control his inner hollow.

I seriously also want Kenpachi to make amends with his Zanpakuto.  I really wanna see him get up to a Bankai level -- if that would EVER be possible...  That'd be so awesome.

Sad we have to wait till April 8th for the next episode.

Interesting that theres a , looks like the king of SS isn't completely defenceless and must also serve a pretty important purpose if he is guarded by shinigami considered elite even among captains, whereas previously he seemed quite pointless living in his own dimension not having any input into the running of SS. I guess whatever that purpose is ties in closely with Aizen's plan. Aizen must also have prepared for having to face the as well, since I really doubt, however powerful the top 3 espada and him are, that they can go through old man Yama and 5 other powerful captains AND beat the .

Looks like there's going to be fillers for a while. They should have done the same thing One Piece did (long break right in the middle of a big arc). I hated the way they ended ep 167 (I really wanted to see ).
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Christophomicus on April 24, 2008, 02:46:00 pm
Holy fuckin' balls, that new ending is amazing. Seriously, that has to be the catchiest anime opening/closing I've heard in aaaages. Not that the OP is bad (just the opposite; just how I imagined it sounding actually (though why is )). Jesus Christ that is an awesome song, I have it looping in the background.

Anyway the episode content was pretty awesome. Amagai has two Zanpakutous, like Ukitake and Kyouraku? The differences between the three are becoming less and less. Still, this filler season actually looks to be fairly decent, unlike the Bount arc. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

EDIT: Why did I even spoiler that?
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Ephiam on April 24, 2008, 03:18:31 pm
Indeed. That has to be one of the BEST opening I've heard in a LONG time. Especially from Bleach! (Not that the previous openings were bad, it's just that I did not find them to be as catchy). It has that epic feeling to it, and it reminds me of the old days of Bleach. it made me smile while watching it, actually. =)

Anyway, I found the episode to be good. People may dislike it just because "ZOMG FILLERS!!!11" but since I read the Manga, I think it will be a good change of pace. Besides, I will get to see something different. >.>

Also, i heard that the current arc will either be
A) Before their trip to Heuco Mundo. Or;
B) An alternate time/dimension/whatever altogether.

Sounds neat.

And...I wonder who that old man was in the opening? Could it be Yamamoto's enemy/rival? And, if so, will he end up fighting big Yama in the future? I hope so. Seeing the old guy fight would be great!

I like the concept of a although I'm fairly sure thats not his actual Zanpakuto.

As for the time line, the narrator in the beginning said that Ichigo rescued Orihime and came back, so although the war with the Arrancar is still going on they just added an extra gap not present in the manga to fit in the continuity. I am guessing that by the end of this arc the new captain will be dead and Orihime will be recaptured.

If it's going to end in the next few chapters, then what was the point of ? It really seems like now is the best time to do this and explain everything and then have the final battle between hollows&Aizen vs soul society.

I don't really like the "Princess" parts of the fillers. I think it might have been better if they just did fillers with the new Captain and left out Ichigo and co.
Man I have to fight the temptation of reading the manga because it always ruins the anime for me. : (

but what would be the point..now is the perfect time to do this. Unless Kubo comes up with a gay arc after the current one when it should really end after this one. I guess I am fine with reading I hope there wouldn't be though.

Well theres no certainty that Bleach will end with the Karakura battle. There is still the mentioned earlier to introduce, plus the fighting, I don't think even Kubo would cram that many battles into one arc, so I think we're in for an arc in Karakura and one where the SS king is at least.

Post by: Standard Toaster on June 17, 2008, 04:26:30 am
a hell arc would be a neat idea... after all they only had like one episode mention it. but yea i think there will continue being arcs because i think refusing to show fighting would be kind of a dick move to the fans

also i have a few differences for how i think its going to go down

actually those are both probably more unlikely to happen...

Looks like we have to watch the 4 lieutenants fight Barragan's fraccion now, could either turn out booooring good guys win after 2-3 chaps each of generic slash-from-the-shoulder-across-body exchanges, or fairly interesting if say, each lieutenant has been training some and developed a Bankai...

Yeah, I think too. Should be interesting to see how it turns out. I know that a while ago , so I'm betting they'll pull theirs out in a short while, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Hisagi or Kira's either. There's a lot going on at the moment, you've got:

Basically, enough material to keep this arc running for at least six months, I reckon.

I'd seriously like to see Gin go off and do his own thing against Aizen, ala a Starscream to Megatron allusion.  Would be a very interesting way to introduce a "new" villain.  Also, I find it interesting that Gin kind of always seemed like the bad guy and that at the end of the episodes, he's the one explaining Shinigami/Quincy/Vaizard powers/quirks/"clothes."

That would potentially elongate the series more and they could toss in more interesting things.  I don't want Bleach to end, but at the same time...  I guess I can understand that it'd be better for it to end early than for it to end late and really crappy.

The movie was entertaining. I liked how they made the movie have a cold, winter setting. The animation was great and I liked how it and the awesome soundtrack (featuring a few opera songs) worked well together.

Yeah, I just saw this a few days ago. I liked it quite a bit for an anime movie, though
the plot was weak and had enough holes. The whole twin sword thing was interesting
enough, but would've been more interesting had the whole thing been written better.

I hated

That said, it's a pity this movie isn't canon since it gave a couple of
people *though mostly Hitsugaya* some interesting character depth.

Man, I really want to find the guy who invented the concept of "canon" and punch him in the crotch. (and when he's down maybe kick him in the face for an indeterminate amount of time)

It's fucking fiction! Stop trying to "assign" some type of legitimate "reality" to it, and enjoy it for what it is! Why can't you just follow whatever the hell storyline you damn well please and take whatever happens in the setting they give you exactly at face value? If it produces inconsistencies then FUCK IT, and fuck every last nerd that raises a hissy fit about it (God knows they need it).
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: CorporateGreed on September 10, 2008, 09:08:39 am
You need to take a chill pill.

I enjoyed the Movie immensely even though it wasn't canon. By the way, life invented canon.
It's a series of events that fit into a timeline and storyline. Even though I love nonsensical
anachronic scenes that hardly make up a logical story, I find a fictional story and world more
interesting if it makes sense (even if it's set in a world where magic and powerlevels
OVER 9000!!!!11 are common business).

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't have enjoyed the majority of games and movies if
halfway through they'd go "That character was cool, but let's kill her for the hell of it and
bring her back later, just like that. I'd be like it never happened".

That said, for those who read the manga:

bring her back later, just like that. I'd be like it never happened".

Do you mean halfway through the movie/game itself? Or do you mean halfway through the huge overarching storyline that spans three decades before and/or after the setting of the movie/game?

Well of course it wouldn't make sense to do it halfway through one specific movie/game. It's a closed system that needs a coherent plot in order to generate a decent amount of immersion.
But what's wrong with having a sequel that takes place five years after where one of the main characters die, only to be followed by a novel that takes place 7 years later where that same character was alive the whole time? Is it really that important to have an "official" record of which series of events gets to actually count? I find it more interesting if I get to make my own inferences about how the world is supposed to make sense, or even following things that don't make sense in a larger context, when the reasons behind such inconsistencies are important to the specific story I'm being told.

But to each his own. If people feel more comfortable being able to track a "canon" record of what happens in which fictional setting, then complaining about it just makes me as bad as the people who complain whenever they don't get an agreed upon standard for which storylines fit into a certain setting as a whole. I can just follow my own inferences and pretend as hard as I can that "canon storylines" don't exist. (although when people keep bringing it up like it has some kind of increased relevance or importance, it makes it rather hard)

One thing is for sure, if the Bount arc (along with that princess arc currently airing) is concidered canon, then I wash my hands of the whole ordeal. Fuck canon.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: Standard Toaster on September 10, 2008, 06:35:54 pm
i don't know why the movie wouldn't be considered "canon." its not like there are any GLARING CONTRADICTIONS or anything and it seems to fit into the general mythos pretty well.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: CorporateGreed on September 11, 2008, 08:35:39 am
It's not canon simply because any character development in the movie will not be transferred to
the original storyline as intended by Tite Kubo. It is also the reason that certain characters still
can't release their zanpakutou in the movies, simply because it didn't happen in the manga or anime
yet.

That said, the Bount and Princess Saga's are filler, and therefore not canon. I've enjoyed either
immensely though, and the bount saga could easily have been part of the canon. The thing is,
when you start inserting filler into something, it starts making less sense (like switching from
hueco mundo to the princess saga in a flash, and probably making the transition back at the
end of it).

I must agree that some people take canon too far (For instance Star Wars: Expanded Universe),
but canon is essential to let the characters and world evolve in a sensible fashion. I don't know,
but I just like being sucked into a fictional world from time to time. It's why I read and watch bleach.
If I wanted it to make no sense and be mindfuck I'd be watching Mulholland Drive.

Anyway... The only reason I said it was a pity the movie wasn't canon was because they won't
be taking this back into the manga or anime, so in essence everyone will have forgotten about it
in the anime/manga storyline. Which is sad because of the character development.
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: CorporateGreed on September 12, 2008, 06:49:29 am
The anime did have small changes from the manga in order to fit the bount arc in (appearances by the three mod-souls and Ichigo's fight against his memory of the bount leader as part of the training to control his inner hollow).

Right. Therefore it still fits in the continuity of the Anime, even though it never happened
in the manga. At least they've tried to use the events of that arc in other arcs as well.

Let's close the canon discussion for now and enjoy bleach, shall we? ^^

Well, Soul Society has been generally easy to follow, but Bleach is a very difficult series to get into unless you read/watch it from the beginning. For example, I started reading the manga at the Turn Back the Pendulum series, quite easy to follow, and then we get thrown back into the clusterfuck that is Hueco Mundo or whatever. I just need to catch up with the anime first -_-

I love the idea of Pesche and Dondochakka, but I personally feel that the execution is a bit lacking. (You would think it'd be easy to play off Ishida (since everyone hates Ishida and therefore upsetting him is always funny), but despite that their humor is still offputting to me.

The whole thing with Nel is some BS though. Not the backstory thing (although after a point, you sort of had to expect it, usually bleach is good at pulling crap like that out of nowhere, but they dragged it enough that you knew it was the only place they could possibly go...), but in the fact that she now looks exactly like Rangiku with an alternate color scheme. Did he simply run out of female character designs or what?

i'm guessing that all of them are significantly stronger than ichigo at this point, considering we've seen how that one dude destroyed grimmjow without even breaking a sweat. they have cero and all of the other advanced hollow abilities that ichigo doesn't have yet.

If being too lazy to go ahead and check out the manga counts, then yeah. I've been living under a rock. (although from not reading the manga, I did generate the crazy notion that she might have been drawn differently in it. At least I couldn't rule that possibility out, but I guess the cat is out of that bag aswell.)

Considering how annoying Rangiku is, I'm sincerely hoping Nel doesn't become a permanent fixture in the cast now. (Although I know you know the answer already.)

Oh, so because you've been floating around picking up information about Bleach ahead of time, I apparently live under a rock for not donig the same.

Just trying to make sense of your rationale here. (It's not like I didn't expect her to transform... Really that's the only place they COULD have gone (aside from killing off Ichigo) once you got far enough into the plot.)
So you actually knew her other form was going to look exactly like Rangiku ahead of time by just reading about it from offhand sources?
Title: BLEACH!
Post by: redwolf on November 21, 2008, 12:28:02 am

Post by: Christophomicus on November 29, 2008, 01:33:00 pm
It's gone back to Hueco Mundo as of Episode 190. 80% of the episode is a flashback, so I'd just find the last six-seven minutes or so on YouTube and then carry on from 191 as usual. Enjoy!
