Basically the Manga Recommendation thread was getting a little off topic, so I thought why not just make a Bleach thread? It is after all a very popular series. Here we can talk about everything Bleach related, the manga, anime, games, CDs whatever. Also I'm gonna use this first post to bitch about this weeks chapter.

AHH! Nothing happened! This chapter was 19 pages of nothing and next week? There isn't any chapter at all! Bleh...

Also new DVD out on Monday, this one goes to the start of the Soul Society arc up to the fight between Ichigo and Renji.

Rules for Spoilers: Hmm, I'm gonna say anything after wherever Viz have got to on their English release of Bleach volumes should be put in a spoiler tag. That is, if Viz are where I think they are, Grimmjows attack on Karakura.

Have they shown Ikkaku's Bankai?

Don't think they've shown it on translation yet. you want me spoiler what it is? or have you seen the jap version?
Actually just realised I've never used spoiler before. What do you click on?

Reknoc
27-06-2008, 14:21
Yea I'm up to date on the manga, didn't know if Viz had got that far. The most recent volume on their site has Ikkaku on the cover so I thought they might be far enough.

I also like to use it on Bleach DS 2nd. :D

There isn't a button for spoilers anymore it seems (or I'm just very blind) but basically its [spoiler]

Well I've only played the DS games, but they're fun Street Fighter style fighters with a good 4 player option. Can't wait for the second game to come out in Europe since it has Urahara and Ikkaku. :D

Nice. The latest chapter was pretty poor, I suppose it's saying something that I only read it yesterday and I can't remember what happened. Just felt like after all that side story, it just left me with more questions than answers.

Reknoc
27-06-2008, 15:21
That's probably because nothing happened. Ulqiwhatsit talked to Orihime about nothing and the it had all the captains talk about nothing about how to attack the Espada. Such a disappoinment after the last arc. Hopefully it picks up the week after next.

The Manga is good. I've watched more of the Anime than read the Manga but all in all I love the whole thing. I must pick up some of the DVD's.

Well out of boredom I decided to make a brief summary of the current chapter. Using advanced state of the art tools and programs (a mouse and MSPaint).

No it's worse because unlike my doodle the chapter itself took about 19 pages.

Is this just one of those times where you are extra critical?

Reknoc
28-06-2008, 21:06
No because this is just a dull filler chapter, something I'm pretty sure I haven't had to put up with in One Piece. What makes it even worse is there's no new chapter next week either so we're stuck with this crap till the week after next.

So that's the reason for this extra dig. Knowing you though there is a lot for you to read/watch to pass it by.

As far as I can tell Tite didn't write it so it's not canon, he did do that Hitsugaya backstory arc though. It seems to focus on Hitsugaya so it seems to be just for fangirls.

Isn't the first movie out here soon? Like before Ichigo achieve Bankai on the normal DVD releases. =/

I'll probably pick it up just because. I love the anime but wern't A big fan of the movie myself. I think I got riled up though as my anticipation was quite high for A Bleach movie and it just seemed to be of little or no importance to the story. ( hate canons).

Reknoc
09-07-2008, 17:30
Not seen the movie myself, can't say I'm interested in it. Don't tend to watch movies based off Shonen Jump animes unless it's One Piece, though I may pick this up on DVD after they finish the Soul Society arc.

Reknoc

Okay so Bleach's most recent chapter wasn't worth the wait, so lets ignore that and talk about the most recent DVD release Series 2 Part 1.

Maybe it's just what I watch it on but does the sound like... dip for anyone else? Like sometimes it just goes abit quiet, I notice this most during Opening 1.
Also, 3 releases and Manga still haven't put subtitles up when something written in Japanese shows up, they did this on Ghost in the Shell aswell.

Quite enjoying the dub, Yachiru sounds alittle bit like a Tachikoma but whatever. More importantly Spike Spencer does the voice for Hanataro which took me back abit since I haven't heard Spike Spencer do any voice work since I watched Evanagelion and Nadesico.

Also ending 3 (Hoshiboshi) is my favorite ending, not only is the song good and rather catchy but it also the animation changes showing the Captains and Vice Captains (and sometimes others) from Gotei 13.

Edit: Sound seems fine for disc 3 (volume 8).

richarddavies

Just read the new chapter now. Getting annoyed looking forward to the next chapter in the hope that something actually happens then being let down.

This looks like it might actually be getting somewhere. Eventually.

Reknoc
25-07-2008, 14:20
Yea but it Ikkaku showed up, glee!

Bleach's chapters seem shorter than One Piece even though they're the same page length.

Schezo
25-07-2008, 16:47
why do people care about bleach anyway? It's just another version of the "Standard Shonen Manga Story" that Toriyama invented in the late eighties. The only reason I once enjoyed bleach, was because of all the sexy ladies...:blush:

The only original shonen manga today is One Piece (and I guess Fairy Tail gets points too for imitating something new instead of the same old)

richarddavies
25-07-2008, 17:02
At A guess I would say people like it because of free will and the fact I have the ability to like whatever I want. If t.v shows, games, films and musician's didn't bother releasing anything new because someone else has done something before. I would be bored crapless!

Schezo
25-07-2008, 17:18
Of course anyon has the right to like whatever they want. It's just that I get a bit sad at the thought of how many great manga artists waste (according to me) their talent by retelling the same story over and over again, when they could try to come up with something original.

Of course, the same goes for movies and games too. It's the reason I seldom care about holywood movies or japanese RPG's nowdays. They're all full of copypasta. Some of them have twists, which can make them interesting, but way too many keep retelling the same story over and over again.

I don't mind that alot of people like it this way, but I fail to understand why some people read a manga or watch a show when they know what's gonna happen next.

richarddavies
25-07-2008, 17:31
True but I can't remember playing A game or watching A film where it doesn't end with the good guys winning. That's the jist of all stories really it's just the how they win that's different.

New action packed chapter!

Ichigo vs Ul.... Just kidding, it's Yumichika vs Arrancar with Bulge. Now I'm not complaining Yumichika's fights always make me smile, but Kira and... Hi...the 69 guy, are rather underdeveloped hell the 69 guy is a Vice Captain and I still have no idea what his Shikai is, maybe I'd be more forgiving if it was Ikkaku fighting but oh well.

Im getting back into it.

Reknoc

Urgh, of all the weekly manga I follow I have to say that Bleach has slipped down to being the worst, it's been far too actiony for ages with nothing ever really happening.

The art is getting dull and the chapter cliffhangers aren't making me excited for the next chapter like One Piece is managing.

Doesn't help that Hunter x Hunter has started again.

That said I do like the Kyoraku Arrancar.

After thinking a lot, Iīm gonna to enter in this serie, since I was interested in this... time ago, and since I saw a tiny trailer in Animax, more interested.

I donīt follow popular series, but this in an exception, Haruhi could be another. But well, Iīm going to try to find the Manga, at least subbed in english, I prefer mangas more than the Anime itself, and Iīll give an opinion later. I hope it be good.

richarddavies
10-10-2008, 18:28
You should give it I try. I like it but I think reknoc has some valid points too about it. It's worth a look anyway. It is great in the begining.

Reknoc
10-10-2008, 18:41
I'd say definitly check it out (I recommend Onemanga), however the series must be drawing to a close now you may be better off waiting for that so the low content chapters each week don't piss you off.

Oh who am I kidding Tite is going to go Toriyama on this series and milk this cow dry.

BluePuyo
12-10-2008, 01:40
Well, I found the Manga in spanish, better.

I didnīt have too much time today but the necessary to read the first volume.
... 35 volumes so far... I hope it turns good.

For be an introduction, very good and enjoyable, in a first moment I thought the serie would be so serious (because of the story), but has humour, and is more enjoyable. I need to have the mind open to try to get familiarized with the characters.

Ready to read the next volumes. Letīs see how the serie continues.

Thoughts on the new chapter when I can be bothered to read it, now excuse me while I cut myself because there's no new One Piece this week. :(

Edit: Yea I guess it was an alright chapter this week, it has just reminded me that I don't think we've seen Soi-fons Bankai yet though so that should be something to look forward to. Unless she doesn't have one because of her insanely overpowered Shikai.

richarddavies
17-10-2008, 16:16
I not seen it in a bit but I think hers was where she got that pointy hornet finger where if she hits someone in the same place twice they die.

EDIT: Forget what I just said, your right I don't think we have seen her BANKAI.Thinking of her zanpakuto for some reason.

Reknoc
17-10-2008, 16:19
I thought so to but she uses it in the current chapter and does that incantation stuff so that must mean that it's her Shikai since all you need to do to invoke Bankai is to yell BANKAI!

Edit: Curse your ninja edit! >:(

So yeah this week:

Soifong gets pwnd.
Her fat waste of space vice captain turns out not to be entirely a fat waste of space.
And the Arrancar Soifong's fighting looks rather similar to Soifong.
Still no Bankai.

Reknoc
31-10-2008, 11:55
Man, sometimes Shonen Jump mangas really feel like kids playing with action figures "nuh-uh I was losing on purpose" GOD! Oh well does this mean Soifon Bankai next chapter?

I don't mind the focus being shifted to the Gotei 13.

Edit: One Piece doesn't do this because One Piece is perfect <3

Oh gonna do a post with all Opening and Endings (yes all of Ending 3 if I can) hopefully subbed so watch this space!

Edit: Obviously not this space, it'll be a seperate post. I just wanted to say "watch this space" :(

Alittle and I think alot of them may be very low quality but One Piece is so amazing the chapters seems shorter than they are and you'll be caught up in no time.

Reknoc
12-11-2008, 12:50
This is a change, not gonna complain about the last chapter O:

Instead I'm gonna complain about the Series 2 Part 2 DVD, or more specificly Manga being too lazy to check what episodes are on Volume 6. So 2:2 is meant to be 32 - 40? Hawhaw cause Volume 6 contains 37 - 41. Was a pleasent surprise but 41 ends in such a dick place and it's another like 5 months before they release the next volume yet Death Note and Naruto seem to get a new release every other week. =/

Well I must admit I wasn't expecting HER to show up. (Though that's mainly because I completley forgot of her existence). Been thinking how long 1 arcs can carry on for. Just looking back and this one started around issue 200 and were on 330 something now. At an issue a week thats nearly 3 yrs for 1 storyline. And I bet in realtime this story probably pans out over a few days.

Not read it yet (completely forgot), but I guess it depends on how the arcs are divided.

There's the main Arrancar arc which starts alittle after Soul Society, then the Hueco Mundo arc, Turn Back the Pendulum (which was awesome) and now the current arc (Karakura attack?).

richarddavies
14-11-2008, 16:14
I just consider this as a continuation of Hueco mundo myself. (Pendulum was good actually) I wasn't really complaining about it as such I just never really noticed how long one story can be dragged on for. Especially as how I said, this entire story in Hueco mundo Probably happened over about 2, 3 days. I mean pendulum was only a quick side story so really theres only been 2 main storylines in Bleach but it's been going for about 7, 8yrs.

'bout to read it now.

Might aswell say this, don't get Shattered Blade, ever. Unless you found it cheap somewhere, really cheap. The whole game just involves you shaking the wiimote and sometimes the nunchuk furiously like you're having a fit. Really crappy cutscenes aswell and a stupid story to boot.

Edit: Oh boy, sure glad there's no new One Piece this week with Bleach's current chapter being so exciting. What with 90% of its dialog being "OOOOHHHH" and "AAAAAAHHH".

I know im liking it when it feels like it's took me about 1 minute to read it.

It's gonna look like all the fights, alot of stare downs and flashbacks. I think it's all filler now, I think the last episode I watched was "Goodbye the halycon days" or whatever it was called.

Edit: Why are Ichigo and Ulqidude fighting? Wasn't he trapped? It's been so long I totally forgot what Ichigo was doing.

Reknoc

Wow it's been a while.

The last few chapters have been actually very good, the fight between Ichigo and Uquillillia has been pretty epic and now Ishida is getting totally owned. It's kinda of a shame that Orihimes healing power is totally cheap cause it means that Ishida getting both his arms cut the fuck off doesn't really mean much.
I was expecting some severe disappointment when Ichigo wins (he hasn't yet) cause it seemed Tite was just making Ulquikins way too strong, but then bam cero to the heart that looks like a hollow hole that, yes, seems to have completed Ichigo's transformation. :D :D :D

richarddavies
23-03-2009, 11:25
Im liking this aot at the mo. Looks like Ichigo has turned into a hollow now. So he's a human with a Sol reaper dad and he's also a hollow. What the crap is going on with Ichi? Maybe his mum was a hollow and she got busy with a soul society boy? I don't know what the hell's going on anymore but it looks cool and thats the main thing.

Reknoc
23-03-2009, 12:56
Yea this Hollow Ichigo is pretty rad. It's a good thing The Incredible Ulq is such a chatty bitch other wise it'd be exactly like that chapter with that massive monster Hollow with nothing but "OOOOOOOH" and "UAAAAAAAAAH".

richarddavies
23-03-2009, 13:02
The conversations do drag considering there supposed to be fighting to the death. Imagine you was out on the lash and someone kicks off with you and before every punch or kick they start giving you a 10 minute dialogue about what there gonna do and why and how there powers greater than yours. You'd think there mental. The story's starting to get somewhere though. If they keep it up with this much action I see Ichigo facing off with Aizen within 6 months.

Well atleast Orihime will since Ishida tried and got a chestful of Zangetsu for his troubles. It's more likely Ulqidodads final blow will have knocked Ichigo out and he'll revert back to being a soul reaper.

Poor Ishida seems to get his stuff majorly wrecked during important arcs.

Soi fon's just shownher bankai then. What is that? on the last pic it looks like a massive explosion and smoke coming off her arm where the massive hulking...thing was where her right arm used to be. Has she got a rocket launcher for a bankai?

I would've thought it cooler and more ironic considering who's she's facing if her bankai was like a upgraded version of her zanpakto. Just one touch from her and they die.

Just read the new one. One of the bad guys has shown his upgraded form. (the guy fighting Kyōraku).

He's got dual pistols! Iwanna see if shinigami's are bullet dodgers.
