I downloaded the 2nd OST as well, and I agree with you completely. Less than half of what was on the OST I actually found decent, and even less of the tracks I liked.
And, yes, some, if not most, of the tracks come from the Bounto arc. I believe there were five tracks or so that I immediately identified as being used in the arc, and I have to say that it's not Sagisu's best work, in my opinion.

Bleach7.com's got Dattebayo's Episode 92 up, and from what I saw it looks like we're going to see the Bounto for a quite a bit longer. Mainly because it's shaping up to be a each-person-fights-one-bounto type deal.

the Bounto arc will probably last to episode 100+
why cant the Bountos just die?


oh and the new soundtrack, i have downloaded it. just listened a few tracks, not very good tracks. Deleted the OST
Bleach is losing its qualities. I like Bleach, one of the very few anime series I watch. I dont wanna see it go "Naruto"

This is currently one of my favourites.

I love the overall style of the Anime though and the Shinigami outfits made out to look like the Samurai is a plus. My favourite character is Urahara Kisuke. The guy has such a laidback calm demeanour, the intelligence and the fighting abilities. Of course, he IS the former Captain of the 12th Division and the founder of that Technological Institute. The guy's a genius inventor.

Kenpachi is pretty crazy himself too.

Oh gawd, if (when) Kenpachi gets into the fight with the Bounto, he'd probably try to kill all of them at once just for fun. XD But, yes, it would be awesome to see Kenpachi fight again.

Because, it would ruin the "plot" of the arc. :P
But, seriously, I wish they would die too (on the bright side, they probably will...eventually).
And trust me, I don't think anyone wants to see Bleach go Naruto.

I find Rukia's fights pretty boring.

Commence 'dub sucks' raid.

I personally have no problem with the dubbing. Rukia sounds a bit monotone, but the dialogue provided didn't really allow her to do much else. Looking forward to how they handle the scene of her getting kicked in the face.

It's not that bad, in fact, I think I like it. I never really got into Bleach but if it's on TV it'll be easier to watch (don't ask why, it's always been like that for me).

Johnny Yong Bosch sounds wierd with a deep(er) voice than usual though.

I liked the clip. I mean to me it sounds like a pretty solid dub for a more-then-51-episode-series. Unlike Naruto did. I mean if anyone hates it they should be glad it wasn't Ocean Studios they got to do the dub.

LJ's already in the 'OMG! teh dub is the sux!' mode. They're mainly all angry over the term soul reaper. Um...hello. Soul Reaper is an official term used on the JAPANESE DVD covers.

What the hell is wrong with Soul Reaper? I've always heard Shinigami translated as 'Grim Reaper' before Bleach. Calling them Soul Reapers sounds pretty accurate to me. It also makes sense. They are reaping souls. I don't see the problem.

Did they expect them to keep it as Shinigami? Dont tell me they wanted them to call them death gods. Like some fansub groups do. Which is a fucking stupid name if you ask me.

The dub actually didn't seem to bad. Unfourtanately Ichigo's voice I feel sucks. Badly. Rukia's didn't sound that bad though, I always picutred her as having a deeper, more monotone English voice. Since this will be showing on AS, the editing will probably be minimal to, so all around it looks like it might actually be worth watching.

Actually....they DID want Viz to keep it "Death God" :ashamed:. What they seem to be forgetting like I said, Soul Reaper was used on one of the first DVD covers in the line "I hate soul Reapers..." Not to mention it was used in a B-station clip when Masakazu Morita and Shinichiro Miki were doing their own english version.

But it would seem that it equils the whole Ratio insted of Light thing or the liking dubs or subs better on whatever you saw first. Personaly I think it's stupid the way they don't open up and try the dub (or subs for that mater) before they make an opinion based off of a term that really can mean Death God, Grim Reaper, or Soul Reaper...

I hope that last bit made sence...

Soul Reaper... Grim Reaper... How about Deathbringers? Or something entirely new that makes them sound more positive and less frightening? Like...
Justice Keepers or something similarly sad?

Watched the first episode last night (dubbed). The voices weren't bad at all. Acting was good, Rukia's VA was able to slip in and out of serious and silly behavior pretty well. There's still room for improvement, which I'm sure will come about once the VAs get used to their characters.

And who gives a fuck about the Shinigami/Death Reaper/Soul Reaper business. It's all the same thing, anyway, you weeaboos.

Agreed with Kurado. Ichigo's voice in the trailer was a bit awkward but it worked out fine when you watch the whole episode. All the voices were good, even his sisters(which some people were complaining about for some reason). Looks like another solid dub from Viz.

This long without a post? Wow.

Anyway, really like the new OP and ED.

i honestly thought they stopped airing it ^_^;
Are they still going on with the fillers, I dont really like the way they kind of messed with the story of the manga.

It's still about the bountu, yes.

ahh eps 98 was nice and the op and ed are good too, there are some surprising apprearances in the opening animation!

YUI - Rolling Star <3 <3 <3 Awesome op, and the ed is okay. These Bountu need to die faster.

The dubs are alright. I like Ichigo's and Tatsuki's voices the best. I'm just waiting on Urahara Kisuke and how his voice is going to sound.

As for episode 98 of the sub...

Glad to see Kenpachi in the anime again, at least these fillers have gotten more interesting.
