I bet everybody here knows bleach! it is s0o0o0o Cool !!!

And the best part is its On-going!!! XD

*watching Ep.86*

Not bad, I'm currently on eps 108.... and waiting...

well of course everyone knows bleach. Its only like the 2nd MOST WATCHED ANIME IN JAPAN!

Cool? More like derivative and boring with a fanbase almost as annoying as that of DBZ or Inu Yasha.

the cycle continues.

I haven't really seen enough to judge, but from the ten episodes I've seen it's highly over-rated. I have a friend who told me it doesn't even begin to get good until episode 60-something... so the odds of me sitting down and dedicating a lot of time to Bleach is sort of iffy right now as I have a lot of other anime and movies I'd like to watch.

Here's my thing... the animation in Bleach isn't even as good as a series like Naruto (and Naruto is MUUUUCCCCHHHH longer). The characters seem sort of genertic... thus far, I haven't seen anything special in them... but again, I haven't seen a ton of it. The music is good, I'll give it that.

Can anyone give me a good reason to invest time in this series? I've enjoyed long series such as Dragon Ball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho (even some Naruto I've enjoyed) but this just doesn't seem to interest me thus far.

XDDDD
Or Naruto.

Anywho I'm not a Bleach fan But I did watch a little bit and never saw it again.

I like it and it's about to get back to cannon to

I like Bleach and all but it's not my all time fav anime. But i do watch it when i get bored and that's not very offten

The only things relatively good about Bleach are the opening/ending themes and the idea that Rukia doesn't suck as much as everyone else. Also, when I say good, that's pushing it.

Doesn't like I'm missing much by not watching.

For the fans that like Bleach, check out the manga "Zombie Powder"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Powder

What Prak said pretty much. =/

I really wish [as] would show 2 episodes of Bleach.

Bleach, at the moment is my all-time favourite.

As an anime series, it has just eclisped Naruto ( probably because the fillers were too long and too repetitive in some places. I've stopped downloading for a couple of months now. Will probably start again once they get to the main story. But that hasnt happened quite yet.) Till then, i've got the bleach anime series to be appreciative of. And I dooooo... ;)

Anyway, Bleach. Just watched ep 111. The most amazing and exciting development i've seen in a long time. It just never ceases to amaze me. The storyline is great. For those who have not seen it, nor seen enough of it, why not give it a try. Bleach is like those books that start slow but as it goes along it gets more exciting and surprising.

Right now I feel like buying the mangas and dvds online too. Naruto hasnt quite inspired me that way. ;)

I stopped reading after that.

i think it's ok, not my all time favorite, but not that bad. the filler arc is just over, so things should get interesting again. the storyline isn't that impressive, it's avarage, but it got some cool parts in it.

I stopped reading after that.

lol. i gave him a chance. at least he didn't say it eclipsed akira or something. what's wrong with dbz anime anyway. yuyu does it, bleach does it, dbz invented, it's a formula i don't mind watching every now and then if it's on tv. (but i could never make the effort to d/l it though. not worth it in that case)

but on tv. fine with me. i'll watch it all like that.

ah well... to each his own you know.. :)

i don't care what you all say, BLEACH is a great anime, if you don't like don't watch it.

Boo-fucking-hoo. Cry me a river and drown in the saline sadness. If you don't like us badmouthing it, don't read it. If that doesn't make sense to you, turn it around and realize that your own comment was infantile, foolish, and altogether pointless.

you know Prak thats really childish even for someone who's 26

And that is a pathetic retort, considering that I accused you of being infantile. Also, "even for someone who's 26" implies that you are older than I am, which I seriously doubt. I suggest you do not reply confrontationally again because I will close the thread if it turns into a mindless flame-fest.

anyway, has someone seen the last episode 111. it was an great episode.

finally, the fillers are over. it's back to the main story

The fillers were really, really, really cool comparising to the fillers of Naruto T_T
But, yeah, I'm also glad the fillers are over ^^

btw, epi 112 is already up, The dad of Ichigo is so cool! xD

Bleach too me is a good anime it may not bring anything new too the table like some of you think but its all-around solid anime , good characters to get into and story wise while not spectacular is definantly worth watching for...

Cool? More like derivative and boring with a fanbase almost as annoying as that of DBZ or Inu Yasha.

I agree - I did used to read the manga, but I seriously got bored after a while.

Went to the SA Forums a few days ago. The Goons have ants in their pants while waiting for a certain buxom Vice Captain.

lol at prak

You really don't need to get so worked up over nothing. You don't like bleach? Then don't comment, simple as that. Nobody really cares if you don't like it, this topic was made to compliment Bleach. I mean sure, we COULD all just ignore your post, OR you could just not have posted it. Think about it. Does anyone care about your contribution to this topic? No, so far i don't think anyone does.

Bleach is a decent anime. It gets boring at times, and like what-his-face said, uses the dbz formula. e.g. Recurring story line, lots of energy beams, main chara(s) has some sort of power which saves them when they about to die. It's not bad, it's not great. I watch it because my brother downloads it. It just passes time for me. I must say i have enjoyed the series so far (although the fillers weren't that great), but it's not one of my all time favourites.

I care about Prak's contribution to this topic, kthx.























Zing

i certainly care. his input is a lot more valuable then yours. after all, he gave me Full Metal Panic FUMOFUU <3

and Bleach is horrible, boring and uninspiring tripe. complimenting it, is like complimenting the effect AIDS has had on humankind.

haha JoeBob is quite a cunt, no?

Well firstly the animation in my opinion IS better than Naruto's, which recently, has been absolutely appauling. Secondly, your friend misled you, as it does not get good for a while, but we're talking about 15 episodes. If anything it gets worse around 60 cuz of stupid fillers. But it picks up again at 110, and as I read the manga, I know how awesome it gets. The main reason to invest in it is because from about 20-60 is some of the best anime you'll ever see.

i seriously doubt that. i've watched some of Bleach, and some was too much. At least DBZ has some unintentional comedy in it.

and no show, anime or not should only "pick up" a certain number of episodes in. it should catch my intrest from the start, thats what makes a well-written show.

Quoted for absolute truth

Well I liked it T_T One Piece is a million times better anyway.

I care about Prak's contribution to this topic, kthx.

So you care about his pointless bickering with other users?
Ah well, no doubt you're one of Prak's 'friends'.

Neway this topic is about bleach, and not about Prak and his pointless bickering.

Again i say, not a great anime, not a horrible one. I've seen lots of anime, compared to those it aint that great. It seems one of those animes that'll never end. e.g. Dragon Ball Z.
i'd say about 2.75/5 if i was rating it

nothing pointless about anything Prak says, ever. and yeah i'm also one of Praks "friends" as you put it.

just so you know.

Exactly, therefore everything you say will be swayed in his direction.

and the fact he's proved he knows what he's talking about long before i even started talking to him, perhaps......

you're here less then a week, how the hell would you even know what anyone on here is even like?

I don't know what anyone here is like. You just told me you 2 were 'friends', and naturally friends support each other. I mean, for all i know Prak could be a really nice guy and may just have been in a bad mood when he was posting.

But my first impression of him was stuck up. And so far i see no reason why i should be kind toward him anyway.

And just because i haven't been here a week, doesn't mean i don't know what I'm talking about.

If you wouldn't mind, i'd like to end this argument now. It's pointless and has nothing to do with Bleach anymore. Thank you.

no-one said you had to be kind. i doubt he could care less, and he doesnt need anyone sticking up for him. im just saying, nothing he says is pointless. he knows his anime and i value his input on almost any topic, as does the rest of the forum.

and im not arguing, im merely pointing something out. heed my words if you want to survive here.

Uh huh...
You see, I never said anyone cared whether or not i liked him. Prak's meaningless insult had nothing to do with the anime, and was overall just pointless.

(btw, you may be merely pointing something out, but you're pointing it out through arguing with me.)

Prak goading a silly nub is never pointless.

also, i am at this point anticipating that you'll be the next sender of Prak hate mail.

i am also anticipating that this thread will be closed pretty soon.

Prak hate mail you say?
Please, i don't 'hate' Prak as such, just thought it was pointless to get angry over someone having a little fun. They weren't being serious when saying that, they were just jesting toward him, and he took it seriously for some reason. I don't have anything against him, just find it pointless to argue over such a meaningless matter.

Lol, i also see this topic being closed soon

I think the bounto arc really sux, but I stopped at about 104, need to get back to Bleach prob during break. The Shinigami Arc was great though, I just can't stand how long animes have so many fillers.

Yeah, the bounto were pretty boring. also the animation there was pretty shoddy at times. eh, fillers weren't made to be good.

Volume 6 chapter 8

From what I read here, peeps should read the manga instead of watching the anime... :/

Eh. Manga's good because it doesn't have fillers, but if you ask me anime is more exciting then manga due to the sound and animation etc.
Eh, i guess it's personal preference in the end.

JoeBob, you are still an idiot. I will list the reasons why and lay that line of discussion to rest once and for all.

1. I was never angry, cranky, or even slightly annoyed at anything in this thread. Rapidshot was a moron who got defensive at the slightest hint of someone badmouthing something he liked (and yes, he was serious) so I put the fucker in his place.

2. You having been here for a mere week does, in fact, make you ignorant to the nature of the community here.

3. This is a discussion thread, not a spooge-all-over-the-subject thread. That is because there is only one Bleach thread active, and that is how it should remain since more would be a waste of forum space. People who don't like it are just as free to post their views as those who do.

Now, I want this to end. No further discussion on the matter. Stick to the topic at hand. I won't close the thread (because that'll just make more Bleach threads appear) but I will delete posts if it becomes necessary.

Well, back on topic....Does anyone else read the manga? Cuz it's getting really good atm, so I wanna talk about it to someone :D

Read this before deleting my post, I refuse to end this without you understanding. Note that i wanted to end this a while ago but someone else decided to keep going on about it.

1. He was just standing up for something he liked. It's not like he meant to anger you, and he wasn't being as serious as you make it sound.

2. That may be so, but that doesn't mean i don't know anything about what's going on.

3. Yes, you're right on that matter. I'm fine to admit it as well. I just jumped to his defense because i hate people trying to make themselves seem superior to everyone else.

I will stop any discussion of this matter from now on. Now hopefully you understand. I will ignore your pointless insult, as i do not wish to continue this meaningless argument.

uh yeah Bleach is only one of the greatest animes out there! I've been watching some of the newer episodes as well, but I am a N00B who prefers the dubbed versions so I am watching those too. The voice acting is actually pretty good, better than Naruto dubs... "Believe it!!".

long live Ishida! I want a sweet spirit bow like that lol

is it just me or is Orihime overly hot?

Believe me, the dub is nowhere near as good. And if you think Orihime is hot, then you clearly haven't seen matsumoto yet. Not saying I think she's hot, just if you think Inoue is, then you will definitely think she is. :P

Any idea of when this anime is coming to Europe? I ain't purchasing it, I'm just curious.

I hope Shunsui sounds decent in English T_T

I'm sorry. Bleach sucks.

I'm sorry. Bleach sucks.
There's nothing to be sorry about.

I think Bleach is a great show. When it got to the fillers it was quite boring but now that it's back to the original plot it seems to have gotten better.

Least that's my opinion.

Eh, i presume it's going to be one of those never ending anime series, so you can't expect it to be a great storyline. I don't mind watching it, but again, it isn't one of my favourite animes.

I can definitely say that Bleach is one of those animes that have an interesting story. XD I really enjoy it. XD Yachiru and Kenpachi rock XD though the dub is killing me XD T_T

It has a decent storyline now, but if you ask me, the original storyline was kinda shoddy.

Lol, but Ichigo's emo phase was totally killing me. I was ready to like.... slap him. FINALLY no more emo-ness! XD

Yeah, i hated emo ichigo aswell, but he aint so emo anymore. How overpowered is Rukia's shikai?

I enjoy the manga much more than the anime right now, especially the arrancar arcs going on right now.

I don't read manga unless it's in a book. And i'm too cheap and lazy to go buy manga books. So i just watch anime.

It has a decent storyline now, but if you ask me, the original storyline was kinda shoddy.

Dunno how you can say that considering the new storyline is basically a repeat of the previous one (unless you only watch the anime in which case it wouldn't seem so as of yet.)

I know what's happening in the new storyline anyway. My brother reads the manga and he pretty much tells me everything that's happening.

I rather enjoy bleach with the exception of them pathetic fillers they did...........I i also enjoy the manga and look forward to seeing some of that stuff happens...........it's always good to see how things turn out compared to the way i imagined them..........Best thing about it ........the storyline is constantly evolving with it's plot and twists..........For those thaty haven't see it . ........it is a must watch......Currently it's one of the top 3 anime series i watch........I also Think yachiru rocks.....So who here reads the manga??.......don't really want to say much about it incase i spoil things

Cool? More like derivative and boring with a fanbase almost as annoying as that of DBZ or Inu Yasha.

never liked DBZ that much. Inu Yasha is alright. but Bleach. is FREAKING AWSOME!, yea its cool to whatch when ever i see it.

I like this anime and waiting for more

i'm really never bored with fillers not in bleach nor in anything else like naruto cuz i never watch the manga series so i don't really know if smthn is a filler or not :D

LOL! How can you watch even ONE episode of naruto fillers without realising just how crap they are?!
I couldn't stand watching naruto fillers, they bored me out of my mind, and i don't even read the manga, but i still knew they were fillers.

Neways, this is about bleach. It's kinda easy to realise that the Bounto Arc was fillers too. Bleach just seemed to get a little lame, and boring, and everything that happened within it meant nothing in the end.

No..for someone who doesn't read the manga how are they ment to know where fillers start and end?

And everything that happened meaning nothing, is generally the nature of filler, with the exception of a few Bounto references and some of the characters staying over to the canon Arrancar arc.

The only difference in plot between Soul Society and the Rescue Orihime arc apart from the place and person they're rescuing, is the odds are completely, without remorse, stacked against Ichigo. They were in Soul Society but many unforeseen factors played in to the success, I see no such thing as mutiny and such a twist as there was in the Soul Society arc (The 3 captains doing what they did).

This is just going to lead up to the Winter War, Ichigo and friends will fall back out of Hueco Mundo, they're going to fail it.



And hopefully, Ichigos other side will take control permanently.
But thats just hopeful thinking :)

Who wants to bet that they might do a plot twist for Ichigo's hollow self?

I was hoping he'd join the Espadas, but I think he's a bit too much of a control freak and I doubt he'd ever willingly bow down to Aizen. Rukia and Chad are now pretty much out of the game, each having been delivered a fatal attack, Rukia especially. Chad not so much though, I believe since Ichigos hollow side granted him rapid regeneration Chads hollow powers will do the very same for him, but Chad is just cannon fodder now, there's no way he can beat an Espada.

Rukia just got "lucky" by finding the only Gillian Espada.

about bleach i got to admit the fillers were much more obvious..
but in naruto 4 example it was kinda fun though they were many :D

You found the bleach fillers more obvious than naruto fillers?!!?!?!?! =-O
The start of the naruto fillers, i have to admit, weren't that obvious (naruto and jiraiya infiltrating 'orochimarus' base), but after that bit, it's impossible not to notice.

Well I knew what was wasn't filler because I read the Manga lol, and considering Renji comes to the real world in the filler arc isn't a far cry away from the manga itself....


Narutos filler just got obviously non important to the overall storyline pretty fast, whereas Bleachs filler could get away with it

Hmm... the bounto arc was a good idea, but it just sucked really. Harder to detect than naruto fillers though.

My only real gripe with the Bounto arc is that the animation was consistently crappy all the way through, but I did like it for the Captain fights

O jeez, here let me help.

Has anyone been here? www.bleachportal.net

It has all the mange released so far plus a few extra and they're all in english. The anime episodes go from 1-120 but there all in japanese with english subtitles. (Personally, I don't like the english voice actors so I could care less...)

Anyway, yes I like Bleach. Yes it takes awhile to get the hang of it, but eventually the plot ball gets rolling and it's gets interesting real quick.

And I do agree with a previous post about ep. 111. Awesome plot twist man.

And about the fighting, it's not cool ok? Yes, the mods gotta get their point across, but the rest of us just wanna post without the added drama.

We're here to express the love, not the hate, loathing and disappointment.

lol, i believe 90% of the people in this thread already know of bleachportal lol. It's kinda hard not to.

lol, don't try starting that again. Me and Prak have already come to an agreement, so let's just pretend it never happened eh?

I love Bleach. ♥

But I wish they would write the remaining Bounto filler arc characters out of the series, since the current arc picks up the manga storyline again. :(

Oops, my bad.

I got confused because of some of the stuff people said was/has been explained @ bleachportal. That site's awesome ne?

And I really wasn't trying to start anything, honest. I just dislike fighting, gomen.

Speak english without the pretentious Romaji bullshit, lest ye be mocked savagely. Also, fighting is the order of the day here if you have any problem at all with anything anyone else says. We don't play nice.

lest ye be mocked savagely.

I'll quit the Romaji if you quit the Shakespeare alright? And I'm guessing the only one who'll take the time to pester me about it would be you.

I've posted for years in many different forums and this is the only occasion where I've actually recieved flak about that.

Savagely? Not likely.

You would be very, very surprised.

In after drama

bleach is my favorit anime, and byakuya is the colest person in the anime world, im probley cosplaying him this summer if i can get enough money XP

Bleach has been going downhill lately for me. I hate all this "Let's separate and spend 3 episodes or 3 manga chapters on a character" bullshit. It's fine sometimes but after a while you need some story development. You need some tidbit of new information to keep your interested and wanting to find out more.

I'll avoid talking about the specific plot points in case someone hasn't seen or read up to that far yet and end my post here.

If you've saw the recent spoiler images, you'll know we're in for a real treat in the new few chapters. I can't wait.

I'll quit the Romaji if you quit the Shakespeare alright? And I'm guessing the only one who'll take the time to pester me about it would be you.

Heh, well actually, i also despise people who throw in random japanese words in their sentences. No offense, and i'm not saying you were trying to do this, but throwing random japanese words says to me; "Look at me! I think i'm cool because i know basic japanese =D"

It really irritates me, nothing personal of course. If you're gonna post some japanese, make it actual japanese, with full sentences. That, I am fine with.

If english is your first language, use it any way you like. People using japanese in english sentences severly annoys me. Of course, nothing says you have to listen to what i have to say. Nor does anything say you can't use random japanese words in your sentences. But as long as you, and others, keep doing it, people like me and prak will come after you.

I'll hold nothing against you, this time.
This is just a warning ;)

^^ahh tis is the one thing i truly hate when i go to anime conventions...the majority of the population there think that because they can say words like "kawaii" "sugoi" "gomen ne" "daisuki" and all those other cliche phrases thats animes use, that they are "speaking" japanese...i swear, people like that are total idiots...if you don't understand at least basic grammar structure of japanese, and you're thinking you're speaking japanse, then i hold you as nothing more than a retard...butchering a language like that is not something i tolerate as far as i'm concerned...sorry, when it comes to this, i get irritated...

----

so back to the topic...

bleach is a good anime...i think so...storyline i belive it to be interesting enough to hold my attention...the quality of bleach is really good, although there was a serious quality drop once the fillers began...it was very disgusting...the fillers sucked (overall) too...that bount arc was idiotic, and the fact that the anime is trying to keep ririn, nova, and cloud around is sad...

i do enjoy bleach and i would recommend it to anyone with free time on their hands...but its not the greatest...i'd suggest just skip downloading the fillers...

well thats what i have to say about bleach...

---

is it me or is the quality of the current episdoes dropping again?...i mean, the fight with ichigo and yami looked so nice, but the fights with renji, hitsugaya, etc have the same quality as a filler episode fight...with the exception of ikkaku's battle...

Chad not so much though, I believe since Ichigos hollow side granted him rapid regeneration Chads hollow powers will do the very same for him, but Chad is just cannon fodder now, there's no way he can beat an Espada.

Rukia just got "lucky" by finding the only Gillian Espada.

Chad's powers aren't hollow powers. They were gained through Ichigo's reiatsu leaking out when chad was near by.

Rukia didn't just 'get lucky'. Her Shikai is just massively overpowered lol. Sure she mightn't have stood a chance against the rest of em, but it was hardly luck lol.

Watch out though, soon chad becomes ownage. *cough*his other arm*cough*


^^ahh tis is the one thing i truly hate when i go to anime conventions...the majority of the population there think that because they can say words like "kawaii" "sugoi" "gomen ne" "daisuki" and all those other cliche phrases thats animes use, that they are "speaking" japanese...i swear, people like that are total idiots...if you don't understand at least basic grammar structure of japanese, and you're thinking you're speaking japanse, then i hold you as nothing more than a retard...butchering a language like that is not something i tolerate as far as i'm concerned...sorry, when it comes to this, i get irritated...

I completely agree. If you don't know the grammar or anything more then basic phrases in a language, don't use it.

Again, i completely agree. The quality of bleach has just kept dropping since the fillers started. I expected the quality to jump back up once the fillers ended, but it didn't. The only few episodes since fillers ended that have been good quality were ikkaku bankai episodes. And even those weren't all that flash. BRING BACK THE GOOD ANIMATION!!!

Chad's powers are Hollow in origin, else he would not have said his powers didn't feel "at home" In Hueco Mundo more than even Soul Society. Also his right arm of the giant turns in to a very hollow-esque shield.

Even if Chad did gain his powers through Ichigo's reiatsu, let's not forget he has a Hollow side of his own. I also find it hard to believe that Ichigo gave Chad such immense power on his own.

Rukia finding the only Gillian Espada was a way to keep her in the game, but i guess that hasn't done her much good considering her condition now, but she won't die.

No-one dies in Bleach. :)

Aren't they all already dead?

well on the subject of rukia and her powers...

she comes off as over-powered, but really (i think) she isnt...i do believe it was explained by pyon that rukia is close to (if not already) near something that of a vice captain...that being said, it wouldnt be surprising that she performed how she did against the arrancar...but that brings me to another rant on how...

i dont like how the backstory of so many characters are unexplained to us...its either you're a main character or we know little to nothing about em...heck even some of the main characters in the story have little known about them...but hopefully more is revealed later one...

---

im hoping that quality of the anime gets better (i do appreciate that it got loads better after the fillers end, but dont let it drop again...duh)...its the only reason i'm watching the anime ...for the animation of the story...i'm already up-to-date with the manga, so nothing is new to me...but hell, if they're gonna do a crappy job with it, then theres no point to download a badly animated episode...

She could be a seated officer, but due to Byakuya pulling some strings, she isn't. This is to keep her relatively safe and away from danger..besides, D.Roy was ment to be an embarrasingly weak arrancar, but I'm talking about the ESPADA she's fighting, or was fighting, they are ment to all be on a completely different level.

If Ichigo beats Ulquiorra just through some anger Rukia-is-in-danger powerup, I'm gonna boycott Bleach :P

Chad's powers are Hollow in origin, else he would not have said his powers didn't feel "at home" In Hueco Mundo more than even Soul Society. Also his right arm of the giant turns in to a very hollow-esque shield.

Even if Chad did gain his powers through Ichigo's reiatsu, let's not forget he has a Hollow side of his own. I also find it hard to believe that Ichigo gave Chad such immense power on his own.

I dunno. You do realise ichigo is gonna end up being the most powerful shinigami in existance. It's kinda obvious. So it's possible that he could have been leaking enough energy to give chad powers. Or maybe even that chad already had his own powers and ichigo's reiatsu 'unlocked' them or something... oh wait... i remember now, my brother told me something bout chad being related to one of the powerful hollows... whatchamacallems... the uber powerful ones.... eh, maybe that's it?


Rukia finding the only Gillian Espada was a way to keep her in the game, but i guess that hasn't done her much good considering her condition now, but she won't die.

Exactly... hehehe

Of course, next time she uses her shikai, it'll be seriously powered down. They just make it seem uber powerful the first time, like they did ichigo's bankai.

the vasto lordes?...those the ub3r powerful hollows you're talking about?...

Yeah, them ones. My brother said chad was related to one of em or something like that.

is that only his opinion or does he have some sort of solid proof of it?...because i never recalled chad being related to the vasto lorde...

although because of the similar backgrounds chad has with hueco mundo (obviously latin influences)...its somewhat possible that he's connected with hueco mundo in some form or another...

well, he told me. Not sure if it was his opinion or if he has proof or what. I'll ask him later.

I'm watching Bleach on Youtube but, no one's uploaded Ep.28 so I'm kind of stuck for now.

lol! Do NOT stream anime lol. You're better off just downloading the episode. Then you have it permanently.

just thinking....

has there been a drastic upgrade in strength for tousen since joining aizen?...because if he's one of the "higher ups" of the group, and he got totally pwned by zaraki back in soul society, then why dont they just send in zaraki and whupp all the espada?...problem solved....lol...

Heh, yeah, Zaraki at full power would own anything.

OMG! Who noticed the increase in the quality of the animation for Ichigo vs. Grimmjow? Yay! Finally the quality is returning to bleach.

I never said anything about Chad being a (or being related to a) Vasto Lorde, I said his powers are Hollow in origin, re-read the chapters where he breaks his left arm of the devil out

Also, Bleach has gotten so much more interesting now! Can't wait to see what Grimmjows gonna do to those punks picking on Orihime.

Oh yeah and, of course Ichigo is gonna be the strongest :P That's just how Shonen's go :)

Since when were you my brother?...
lol, i didn't mention anything about you saying chad was related to a vasto lorde >_>
I only said my brother said something like that, i'm not even sure if it was anything like that, maybe it's my brain playing tricks on me. Anyways, like you said, it's quite obvious ichigo is gonna end up being the most powerful shinigami in existance, yadadadada... happy ending... aizen loses blah blah blah. Shonens always have incredibly predictable storylines, but they're still good lol.

Oh btw, since when did Grimmjow care about Orihime?... I mean, i don't read the manga, so for all i know he could turn good, but i don't really see Grimmjow turning good...

****SPOILER**** Unless you are episode 122... I see some people say only like 80 episodes are out don't know why...

Well I was to lazy to read all 5 pages, but if you want to see all 122 episodes of the current released bleach go to crunchyroll.com This site makes you see the videos through streaming, but it has better quality then youtube. You hve to register to see the things. I have no clue of chad being related to any of the vasto lordes. The bounto arc was bad until they got past the part of the only introducing 2 bountos. The one ishida liked and that snake guy. I sorta stopped there for a month and started up again. It got better as it went on. The arc that starts around episode 108 or 109 for the arrancars is probably the best. I don't read the manga so I can only go to the point where tousen just owns grimmjow by punishment. I don't really want to know what happens after though:D, but seeing Ichigo beat Aizen is VERY unlikely. All I know is the vaizers. I don't know how to spell that word. Is that they help Ichigo release his hollow side and then he kicks ass...that is all I know and the part where they help Ichigo is beyond the episode I am on so I must see it for myself.

You don't stream anime >_>;;
There's no point.

well I used to go to bleachplanet.com or bleachworld.com I forgot and downloaded episodes there, but I decided if I can just watch and not waste memory I might as well and besides that site required a special player to view the episodes and that was dumb since I already had another video player...

Heh, quick lesson here. Streaming uses memory
Streaming is exactly the same as downloading an episode, watching it and deleting it. The only difference is, you can watch it while it downloads. I don't see why you wouldn't want to keep the episodes anyway >_>;;
Your computers space can't be that small can it?

Who knows! He most likely doesn't, he probably hates the kids picking on her.
I know there's a few Grimmjow/Orihime couple likers out there, and from what I can see, Grimmjow means business when he breaks that door down. Some shonens drop the ball now and then plot wise, like I don't think Naruto Shippuden is comparing to part 1, but Bleach for me at the moment is more interesting :)

Wait so streaming makes the episode download onto my comp? Is that why if I return to that episode after a day it will still be loaded? Sometimes it has to reload. My comp can hold the episodes memory of course, but I don't want to keep stuff I saw...

Wah?! Naruto shippuden is much better then series one in my opinion. I mean sure, it's storyline aint the flashiest thing in the world, but GOD it's a refreshing break from those fillers!
But i've gotta agree with you, bleach is starting to get more interesting. Especially since the quality came back into the animation. (If you didn't notice, watch the grimmjow vs. ichigo fight, you'll see)
Of course, that's only if your watching the anime heh.

Yeah. Streaming videos downloads straight on to your computer. Your computer will automatically delete data in temporary files that's a day old or so. Still, downloading the episode is much more worthwile. A solution to your space problem; External Hard drive. You can get a 200 gig desktop hard drive, with case and everything for about $180 australian dollars if you know where to buy it. or you could get a 120 gig laptop hard drive for $300 >_>;;
The difference being, desktop requires power source, laptop just gets it's power from your computer. Still, me and my bro keep all the anime we download. It's nearing 50gig now i think. Overall Lesson :smrt: : External Hard drives are good

In the Manga, Chad abilities were commented by Shinigami that they were similar and related to that of a Hollow. That's despite his powers having been developed as a result of Ichigo's leaking spirit power. So there really is a possibility of him being related to hollows in general... but probably not a Vesto Lord.

External Hard drives are good

Yes they are. I have a 500GB & 320GB External for my anime. Will be picking up another 500GB at some point since I have other things I'd like to save too. Oh and I have a 250GB internal for the usual etc etc.

Heh. Show off >_>
Some of us don't have that much money to waste, since we don't actually have a job yet >_>;;

lol like it cost me that much :P

For the 320 and the 500 it was like $300 and then two cases.

I got a 400GB one for around $120 at best buy. I just hope it wasn't a cheap one. Had it for almost a year now though and haven't had any problems since.

Wow. Where the hell are you getting these external hard drives?
I thought mine was a good deal. >_>

Go to Comp USA, much better deals then Best Buy

Heh. Well i live in Australia, so there might be a little problem with that >_>;;

ANYWAY, this is about bleach and not external hard drives lol. Lets get back on topic XD

Luls all these guys at my dorm were having fangasms over this show tonight. OH LOOK YOU KNOW HE IS A BADASS CUZ HE DONT CARE HOW HE DRESSED. O SHIT HE GOT A BIG ASS SWORD. OH! OOOOOOH! LOOK AT DAT SHIT HE HARDCORE!!!!!! WHAAAAAAT SON?!?!

lol?
I guess you're right. He does an unnecessarily large sword. Still, you don't watch it for the large sword now do you?
It's good, but it seems like your friends like it for the wrong reasons >_>;;

and i'm back...so whats all this with external hard drives?...lol...i got a 320GB drive for about $140...too bad i couldnt afford the seagate (best brand on the market imho), but theyre so damn expensive...

ok so thoughts as to how ichigo's gonna survive this?...who's gonna be the one to save him this time?...

and grimmjow saved orihime because she recovered his arm...although im totally without a clue as to what he's gonna do next(never was good at drawing conclusions)...

anime is dropping the quality again...its starting to look like filler quality again...

Anyone notice Ichigo's arm when his body is transforming into a hollows? Looks quite a lot like Chads.

Yeah, it looked pretty cool :)
And quite similar to Chad's now that you mention it.

I'm not reading this thread all the way through due to the possiblity of spoiling the hell out of the story. I have, however, started watching the show. Up to episode....4!! I have up to episode...I think 72 or so on DVD. Course its fan subbed. The sub is fine but I wish they would go over their work and edit it when they find mistakes, i.e., in every other line.

Good show so far.

the manga story is getting interesting... ^.^
and for the anime... Hollow Ichigo time..~

The good thing about Bleach is the overflow of cool characters, but as much as I hate to admit it, it get a lil repetitive.

BUT it's still worth watching/reading. The songs in the anime are super nice and the manga's a little sketchy but you'll get past it. The characters! So darned cool.

Meh. It aint that great lol. Cool fight scenes, wide variety of characters, but that's pretty much it. The storyline kinda sucks and the animation has become sub-par after the fillers for some reason. Still, good watch lol.

Like I said before, Chad's arms are exactly like Hollow powers, so it doesn't surprise me that Ichigo would develope somethign similar while in hollow form.

^ On top of that, Chad developed his powers because of Ichigo. It makes sense that their arms would be of a similar nature :)

storyline kinda sucks

Its about to loop, for that matter.

I'm really liking the Arrancar arc. Does anyone have any Idea where I can find the most recent music? Starting with The Bounto arc, and continuing up to know, it's been near impossible to find those audio tracks.

Otherwise, the series is getting intense. I'm sick of the filler in the anime. Soccer, Cakes, and Kendo? WTF?

Also, in response to that reference about Chad's arm looking like Hollow Ichigo's. I believe Urahara made comment to how his power is "unique" I think he was making some sort of hint that Chad's power may be related to that of a hollow. Maybe his arm releases some sort of modified Cero Blast? Just speculation though.

i think that the episode where ichigo vs grimmjaw was the best

cant wait to see ep. 139, the rematch

seems pretty sweet
