Apparently I'm not the only person who really doesn't like the character. On his own, he wouldn't have been too bad, but due to the overabundance of fangirls, he's only been getting more and more grating as time goes by.

You know what I'd like to see for Bleach and I guess series with large casts in general? A massive poll on each character. I don't mean popularity polls where you vote on who your favorite character is. No, I'd rather see a poll where each character is rated on a scale and to see not the average of the scores, but the overall spread. For simplicity, let's put it on a five point scale. 5 would mean you love the character and consider them one of the best parts of the show. 4 means you simply like the character. 3 means that you are neutral. 2 means that the character can annoy you at times. 1 means that you seriously dislike the character. The reason for this is that we know that Hitsugaya, a character I think is overrated, generally wins popularity polls due to having the most amount of people to consider him the best character in the series. I want to see the spread on what people think of him as well as other characters. Personally I would think a character would/should be considered more popular or at least more generally liked if, say everybody gave a 4 to a certain character rather than a character that has 50% of the votes showing them as 5, but the other 50% showing them at 1.

Great, a redundant Beam o War between an Ice and Water user. PAH

Anyone else want Soi Fong to die, because of her being a dumbass? Seriously, when you are this outmatched, use your mother fuckin BANKAI!

I will be very mad if that's the way Harribel goes down. I call haxx right there.

Bleach (anime) is really starting to tick me off 9 out of the 25 or so minutes are either intro/exit or recap of not only the last episode, but the whole season and the whole show in general.

I know why, they want to keep putting out plot w/o more filler, this way they can burn through the story slower. But I guess it failed, because it looks like they are going to interject more filler eps.

The only reason I'm complaining (i usually don't about filler) is because of those damn cliffhangers.

I hate cliffhangers, and doctors and lawyers and cops...

One hell of a last page of the latest chapter.

Haichi's Mask sucks, I'm waiting for him to say Dontcha Know?

Lisa's mask however is awesome, and as always shinji is just badass.

This is going to be so awesome. Now THIS is the way that the top Espada should go down.

As I mentioned before, we haven't seen any of the Visored use their bankai in battle. Of course there are four captains whose bankai we haven't seen either. I think it's been long enough, manga.

Well after 2 episodes of random filler, one being based off of a wallpaper



IMO it was pretty great.

Bleach, the anime, has once again gone into a filler story arc. However this time, they have gone in the most original direction that one might think would stem form a fan fiction.

The shinigami are going to fight the humanoid incarnations of their very own swords.
No they can't shikai or bankai.

I can proudly say that this is the coolest development since the manga's epic espada vs gotei 13 fight plot. I am actually looking forward to it.

This arc begins on episode 230. It doesn't seem like they changed the intro, but there is a new credit sequence.

Because of the slow pacing of the manga, the anime caught up to the series way too fast. Considering where the manga is and where the main anime storyline is, much filler will be needed to make sure the anime doesn't have to pull a FMA and start doing its own story. That being said, that is a rather neat development.

Of course Ichigo should still be able to go visored against his sword should that happen. I know that so far he's only done so with his bankai, but if you notice none of the other visoreds have even used Shikai save for that one guy whose name escapes me right now.

Actually Ichigo looked like he was the only one who wasn't going to have to fight his sword's spirit.
Also I thought the mask and the swords are connected. So if one goes...

Btw did anyone else notice Zaraki's blatant absense. I know they explain it, but... he's the one guy who the spirit thing would have no effect on. So maybe they thought he would be too overpowered for this arc or maybe he will come later to save the day.

LOL Zaraki and Ichigo teaming up is always a fun thing to watch.

The new villain kinda looks death note-y to me.

Kido can age :I

We better start seeing some Shikais and Bankais soon, I am getting extremely bored of no new ones >D.

And Xylon its Kensei

Still loving this latest season of the anime.
This smeg... is so very ca$h!

huh, Barragan was the God King of Heuco Mundo?

Whelp, looks like the only Espada left is Yammy and Grimjow. And Grimjow hasn't been seen since last arc.

1. You forgot Nel. Well, she's an ex-Espada, but still...

2. Wow, Ichigo. It's been a while since we've seen him.
