Bleach

The latest and greatest of Japanese Animation. Found something new, or perhaps old and arcane... if it has to do with anime, it goes right here.

Hey, yeah, there is a lot of Spanish words in Bleach isn't there.

For the person who asked earlier, the difference between an Arrancar and an Espada is this. An Arrancar is the cross between a hollow and a shinigami. Aizen then rates the Arrancar based on their power or what-not, and the Espada are the ones with single digit numbers 1 - 9, or in other words, the strongest Arrancar that currently exist.

[spoiler]As for Chad, he is definitely awesome. However, even now, he still suffers from the Krillen disease. Meaning, he's all cool and stuff, even after his power-up, but then he just gets one shoted by someone like Cell, or in Chad's case, Nnoitra. *shrugs*[/spoiler]

Well, I never expected much from Chad, so its still a surprise to see him doing anything besides getting his ass kicked.

Pd: LOL....good one. The Kreilin disease.....I am gonna write that down somewhere, it can be forgotten.

I dont like Chad that much actually, nor him or Ishida.
But what I do hate about the anime right now is the hollows they have befriended, they are hollow for gods sake what else is there to do cleave their heads?
Cant understand at all why they let them live.

Are you talking about Nel and her gang? Yeah, I was skeptical at first too, but it'll all make sense later. Nel is awesome though, I'll tell you that much. ;)

Yeah Nel and the other two, Nel is ok but the other two ruins the show for me a little bit.
I think Nel is one of the first arrancar projects since she looks a lot like a human, so if thats true shes easily more powerful then Chad :P

Well, thas not so hard to imagine.

What really pisses me off about Chad is all that "abuelo" bullshit he mutters every time he is gonna fight an enemy. Just beat the shit out of them!!

Its not as if you are fighting an enemy with different political ideas or something like that. He is fighting monsters, dammit!! They want to murder all his loved ones and yet he has to spend like 15 minutes every episode gathering the courage to hit back. he sucks. bigtime.

Ishida on the other side, is just plainly weak. He is a great tactician and is constantly devising new strategies while he fights, but his physical abilities are constantly letting me down.

Meh, anything is better than Ichigo. He is just like a retard with a loaded bazooka.

Who in the hell thought it was a good idea to filler up the series right in the middle of their charge of Hueco Mundo?

Talk about breaking the fucking glow.

Bleach related:

The new captain of Squad 3 looks pretty awesome,but then again I have much love for the lazy-guy-how-turns-it-on-at-the-last-second-to-save-the-day archetype ala Kyoraku or Stark, and even though he isn't lazy per say, he has a relaxed manner that belays his skill. That tuning fork looking weapon looks interesting, and I can't wait to see his zanpakto in action.

Semi Bleach related:

Where are you guys downloading your translated episodes from? I was using DB, but they changed the format of Bleach and it looks horrendous on my computer, the only real reason I put up with it this week was to see this new captain. In terms of fight scenes or even lengthy dialogue I can't see anything because of afterimages and partial animation freezes in certain areas. And this isn't like an "HD vs SD" kind of difference, I mean I literally can't tell what is going on sometimes and have to pause it to see certain parts of the subtitles which flicker or don't even show up at all.

New 3rd squad Taicho? What episode was that? Or do you mean the guy with 69 (or 68?) on his face who stands in for Tousen?

Anyway I get the new episodes from Dattebayo, and watched all from them since ep. 50 or so, the first were from Lunar Anime. I didn't really realize they changed codecs - they troll alot about that issue, and I just stream everything to the PS3 via TVersity so I can watch it on the big screen, and with TVersity codecs don't matter as long as you can play it on the PC.

Which player do you use? VLC? Because I havn't had any problems with the new episodes, they still look almost like dvd quality.

Edit: Pardon me english, I'm awake for almost 20 hours now and just couldn't be bothered :D

I use Windows Media Player.

[spoiler]There is a new Captain put in charge of squad 3 as of Episode 168 in the anime. He's a completely new character, he was apparently part of a patrol squad and has been out and about for the last few years, only to be called back to Seiretei by the 1st Squad captain. He took the captain's examination (Which means he knows bankai) but one of the mysterious things about him is that no one (not even the other captains) know which two captains in addition to Yamamoto were in charge of the test. He also brought with him another Soul Reaper who is 3rd squad's new 3rd Seat.[/spoiler]

Which episode 168 did you see? The one that was out last week was the final fight of Ichigo and Grimmjow? Don't you mean 169 which would have aired this tuesday?

I can't recall anything about a new captain in the last episode... gotta rewatch maybe.

On that note, 167 was fucking awesome. Very fluid and fast animation with kick ass moves from Grimmjaw.

Yeah, I quit on the anime right after the bounto stuff, it's simply easier to read the manga since I don't have to download big files or anything.

Last episode of Bleach I saw was something aroud 188 I think. Shortly before the fillers started, when Ichigo defeated (at least it looked like it) Grimmjow.

Anyway I have to catch up again, if the fillerland is over. Would you recommend skipping a few filler episodes, or are they at least funny?

Also, WTF happened to nell?
