Bleach
 

Info.

So yea, they pretty much started with a new part of the series now, and I find it quite enjoyable. Waiting for episode 70 now.

You beat me to the thread! =)

I saw the first couple episodes, and I thought it was entertaining. I'm looking forward to the rest. I've never wanted to get into animes over 26 episodes because I feel like the story will drag too much, but I'm going to give this a shot.

Any idea how long this series is supposed to be?

Started reading the managa last year after I heard enugh rave reviews on it I wanted to check it out for myself....I was instantly hooked. Although, I've been waching the anime from the begining now and again.

Anyway....it's a good series....

I've seen some of the manga for this and i can't say i like it as much as the anime. I'm waiting on episode 71 to get fansubbed and put onto the net. I got so hooked on this when i started watching it in half term. Watched like the whole series in a week. Awesome series, needless to say

I gave up on the anime after the soul society arc. I was disappointed by the way they handled it, especially since it's now nothing more than a cliché shonen. And I haven't heard a lot of good things about the filler arc (some young girl wanting to play games?), so I'm afraid I'm done with Bleach.

I'll agree with you on that. It has gone a bit downhill since the Soul Society arc (which i loved although i wished that they would have just got on with it and...done what they went there to do) and yeah, this filler is a bit dumb, but i'm just waiting for something interesting to happen.

My interest has fallen since the fillers started. Which is kind of depressing because I was really liking Bleach. How long will this go on anyways?

The new little girl is really annoying. I was looking forward to what happens. Instead I get some annoying girl slapping ichigo around and making him play games.

I haven't watched any of the filler episodes yet (Lunar just resumed subbing the series after a short hiatus), so I've nothing to say about them.

The manga, however...

an offtopic question, why the hell did you change your name? SA-kun was much better.

Somewhere along the line, I decided it was time for a handle change and registered as "soulsteelgray" anywhere I went. I considered keeping my user name as SA-kun just for GFF, but eh.

Blame it on my want for a single internet identity.

Hmm one question, when is epi 70 gonna be released? I am too lazy to look it up >.>

Episode 70 was released over a week ago by the fansub group Datte Bayo who does an insansly good job on their fansubs.

I got hooked on this series after watching a few episodes, and now can't wait for episode 71 to come out. At first I didn't think I would like it, didn't sound too interesting, but I found it surprisingly good. I haven't read the manga yet, but it's way ahead of the anime right?

Er, kinda yes and kinda no. The anime was in danger of catching up to the manga, so that's why all these filler episodes are being produced.

Eh, they do a good job for a speed group. Lunar is the way to go for bleach subs, though. A little behind now, but catching up. 67 and counting.

I just got the first 40 episodes from a friend, so I'm gonna be watching those over the weekend, sporadically. I've already seen the first 6-7 episodes anyway, but now I got something to watch for a while.

I'll come back later with my impressions of the show (After I get done watching, obviously).

I'm current with Lunar's Bleach subs, and we're in the midst of a truly boring filler arc. The Soul Society arc was pretty good, and it ended well. But now Bleach is going nowhere until this filler is gone. Those of you who stopped watching after episode 62 haven't missed anything yet.

Yeah they wrapped up the little girl (Rin Rin) thing really horribly and are moving to the Bount concept right now. The three really fade into the background with no satisfactory explanation too. I still watch Bleach for the popularity factor, I'm not particularly disappointed with it, although they are really shoving the whole "Ichigo + Renji = hate" concept way too much.

The filler is better than the Naruto filler. Man, I just watched episode 174 of that and... ugh. At least Bleach we can still count on people getting hacked into peices.

I'm enjoying this filler at the moment.
If only for the end theme My Pace lol.
Downloaded the single yesterday, and am enjoying heaps.

And I agree there are certain character rivalries they're taking waaay too far.

hm... I've yet to watch the anime, but apparantly from what I heard, it has some unfavorable detractions from the manga.

So I'll be sticking to the manga for now. Although the OST rocks >_>

I thought that Lunar Anime's subs aren't particularly good, especially with regards to Ichimaru Gin. All those contractions they added when he spoke was annoying - they should've just left the voice actor to do his job.

Whee! I'm not the only one who doesn't really like the filler arc. I was actually expecting something better, but in the end, I was disappointed. I think the peak of my disappointment, or I guess it could also be the lowest point, was the fact that...



I haven't followed the manga at all, but I'm hoping that something good will happen--soon! However, I'd like to say that the new ending theme rocks.

The new Shinigami Cup bits were pretty funny though.

That's the thing, though. They try to liken Gin's accent to a southern accent. Non-Japanese speakers can't even tell a difference in Gin's accent.

OMGFILLERFTL?

So yeah, they haven't been that good. Has there ever been an anime that had a filler on par with the quality of the source manga?
