Blessed Blade Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) This is about the manga and anime series, for starters, not the cleaning product. =P Now that that's out of the way... Who's been following Bleach recently? I haven't been reading the actual chapters for the last few weeks, but I've been reading the summaries, and the recent chapters have been very intriguing. And the big plot twist of two months ago, involving the Fullbringers, was also very interesting. I dunno if anyone cares about two month old spoilers, and I'd put the thing in with potential tags, but I can't seem to find the spoiler tags anymore. ; Edited October 16, 2011 by Fullbringer Blade Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Marvel Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I've been following both the anime and the manga up to the very latest chapter and episode. It's getting really interesting. -CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice the Great Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I follow the shows when they're on TV. I find the Arrancar to be... lackluster. They're so predictable, in a way. The Shinigami, on the other hand... That's another story. Quote The Fleet - MoC FlotillaThe Exo-Toran! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolitaryHyena Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) well, I only watch dubbed bleach, and i kidna just starting reading bleach this year, but started borrowing manga books from the library like last month or s/t. But yeah, its a really good show, I watched it before like when the marathon was on adult swim then kept watching episodes. I lost interst somewhere the rescue arc, but then decided to watch the whole bleach series in January 2011 this year, i finished like at the end of March 2011 watching dubbed so i guess im not as new to bleach Edit:Yeah, sometimes i spoil it for myself tho sometimes, but didnt spoil myself by watching subbed episodes, although theres supposed to be another filler season/arc after this season is over. From what i read on wiki, it seems like a cool filler arc. Edited October 14, 2011 by Kv195 Quote "And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite."

Blessed Blade Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Captain Marvel: Yeah, I gotta agree. I like the new opening for the Fullbring/Lost Substitute Shinigami arc; it's pretty cool, while not too spoiler filled. Nice to finally see all the new characters actually in true colour.(And/or animated, I forget which Fullbringers we've gotten official colour art of.) Ice: Well I kinda skipped over the Arrancar part by accident, but well, I can't entirely blame you, though there are a few characters I'd likely disagree on, but those are exceptions from someone who hasn't watched/read that part, so... =P Kv: Well, the rescue arc is more set up for everything else that happens later on, and to introduce the other Shinigami, but there were some awesome parts in it, like the fight against Byakuya for example. However, just wait 'til the dub(Both anime and Manga from what I recall hearing) catches up a little more, there are some very awesome parts coming up, and I don't really want to spoil it.

CAPUA Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Fullbring Arc has been pretty meh to me. It's had it's moments, but at the same time, I can't help find everything after the REVEAL to be pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casus Belli Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have trouble finding subbed episodes, so I read summaries. Don't read the spoiler unless If you finished the Arrancar Arc or at least read the summary for the "last" fight. WHY DID GIN HAVE TO DIE T_TAlso FGT Ichigo looks awesome.

Terminus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'm pretty sure Renji was training just so that he could win...

Blessed Blade Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yeah, someone forgot to mention to that guy that everyone else Ichigo excluded had some limits on their weapons. =P But yeah, it's definitely a change of pace from 'Fight, START! *Two seconds later* Fight, END!', like a certain fight that literally had that happen. =PIt's possible, or they just have an incredible wish to gain power that epically backfired on them. And yeah, I heard about it. Haven't read that chapter yet, but I'll try to soon hopefully. But I think it's kinda like what Terminus said. In fact, I'm trying to remember when Renji won a fight, outside the movies and maybe the fillers. =PTerminus: Yeah. I'm not opposed to filler myself, but they dragged the filler out way to long, especially when a certain something was supposed to happen immediately. But hey; at least it's started now. And I must say again; that new opening sequence is amazing. And the song is very good too.

Terminus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I was psyched for the Fullbringer anime arc when the first chapters of the arc were in the manga, and the anime was still on the Decide Arc. Then the filler came and shattered my dreams... But I'm pretty sure that it will be worth the wait. @Rausaro: I know that was the reason that he was training, but I can't remember the last time Renji won a battle. Plus I think he intends to be around when that character gets out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessed Blade Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Rausaro: Yeah, however, that might be a mis-translation...

I'm betting there's some other factions... if the fullbringers can go under the radar for this long... Likewise, do you think we'll ever see the Royal Guard, Zero Division? It's been hinted at, as Hiyori's former captain is now a member. Could it have been foreshadowing, like Ishida looking at Ichigo's badge long before he used it as a fullbring, or like Superchunky's appearance in SS long before the Vizard arc?

Blessed Blade Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yeah, I remember that now... It's been so long since I was the Rescue arc. =O By I missed that part, however, I meant in the Arrancar arc; I basically skipped totally over that, since the station that was showing Bleach here decided randomly to mess around with when it was on, and then removed it from the normal rotation after that... I hadn't started actively reading the manga at that point, either. =P Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rausaro Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ah. I'm forced to read scanlations... they're like 3 years behind in English.

WriterofReapers Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Nice avvie! I'm hoping that the anime goes through the training portions of this new arc a bit faster than normal. The manga is really good right now, and I don't want to wait long before I can see it animated. Quote ◇ Lacertus ◇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessed Blade Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yep, I tried to get the other version of his Fullbring, but there was just no good scenes of it in the opening... A bunch of the Getsuga Wheel, but none of the Fullbring itself. =/ But yeah, found a good section, and got it to be my avvie. I put the black bars so that it didn't get squished... It's better as wide-screen it seems. =PAs for the training parts, given that the most attention they actually gave to the training was that one part with a certain data person, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If anything, they'd need to expand stuff to avoid running into the place we're at in the manga before the manga has a chance to get ahead. =PBut yeah, I want to see these parts, especially a certain Fullbring and subsequent reveal, but I also don't want them to just skim over the earlier parts, because, well, let's face it, they literally put training on fast forward.

WriterofReapers Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 That's true. And of course, we all know what would happen if the anime caught up to the manga... Of course, I don't think Bleach's filler is all that bad... But we did just finish an entire filler arc, so that wouldn't be very nice of them to do to us.

Ektris Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I've actually been really disappointed with this Fullbring arc. The only bit I liked was the surprise with Ginjo. Otherwise, it's all seemed like a filler arc from the anime, especially given how all of them are getting beaten so easily... Tsukishima aside. And that's just kind of sad. ~|ET|~ Quote E-T...

Terminus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Well, It's only on Chapter 468, so it's about 35 chapters into the Fullbringer arc... I hope that they'd do single filler episodes instead of an arc, because those would help add a bit more to the story... Filler episodes can add a lot to the story, if they are good.

Blessed Blade Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Wouldn't be the first time, though. =P *Points at the Zanpakutou fillers, two filler arcs separated by a brief cut-back to the Hueco Mundo/Fake Karakura arc*But yeah. Though, it sounds like they might be able to add in more details, since the timeline was so loose during this arc. For the most part. =P(Like, some loose ends that still haven't been resolved, that were only mentioned once or twice at the start of the arc, and then dropped in favour of focusing on Ichigo)ET: You have a bit of a point. I have no clue why that's happening(Though you forgot Riruka). Story wise, the actual mystery behind Tsukishima was very cool(Especially when we had no clue of what his abilities actually did); but I think the main thing for this was to show off the powers. Though... Again, I have no clue why this is turning into a 'thrash them all', even if some of them aren't really fully defeating them.(A certain two second fight aside)Terminus: Yeah, filler episodes would be nice. We hardly know anything about the fullbringers, really, so some more backstory on them would be nice.

Allanon Loke Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Ichimaru Gin died. My interest in Bleach died. Ichigo got his powers back in the most nostalgic, angsty way possible. My interest has been rekindled. I love how the plot is progressing now. I actually haven't watched the cartoon after the end of the whole Aizen arc. Anyone think that a certain Fullbringer might be Aizen Jr., Lol?And so, Aizen lives on his son. We shall never be rid of the ultimate villain.
