[Anime] Bleach

I like "My Pace." The ending song for that arc. I don't know if it's just the music, or the ending credits that made me like it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Unfortunately, the internets say after two more episodes it's going to be fillers. The pace is still pretty good for me. I just hope the pace of each episode stays good even after fillers.

Friendly Reminder: Please remember to use spoiler tags since not everyone reads the manga.
CH 296

Spoiler:

Hmm.. Nel's released form is a centaur. It's ok, I guess. Centaur gives me a connotation of brute strength. I was hoping for something strong and elegant. What do others think of her released form?

CH 297 (RAW) SPOILERS!!

Spoiler:

Holy Jesus!! Zaraki in Hueco Mundo!! This is so awesome that I'm gonna learn to do backflips to celebrate. I wonder who else went? Probably Toushiro, Matsumoto, Yumichika, and Ikaku (based on the pictures from the previous opening theme credits in the anime)

How ya doing, buddy?

Chater 298 Chinese Raw:

Hell yes, Kenpachi Zaraki, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Byakuya Kuchiki and Retsu Unohana to the rescue!

At first I thought (un)fortunately Ichigo will learn new power-up after getting beat up by number 5.

FELIPE NO

Rather than make an entire thread for it (which would surely close nearly after its creation) and since I've already asked a similar question --

Does anyone have the soundtrack for Bleach that's willing to share? I just realized there're a handful of songs I'd like to have.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, thanks for the reminder, I finally managed to find "Hanabi" again. I like that track. XD I did a little poking around and found Gendou's Music. Seems like they have a decent selection of individual tracks. Otherwise, just hit up the torrent sites.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hehehe, Just watched 146 of the anime, totaly called Tomoko Kaneda playing Nell right.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hate to bring the topic of the OST back up, but I just realized there are two songs I'm looking for, but neither the first or second OST have them, from what I can tell.

The first is the song that plays when Ichigo is training with Uruhara, and he gains his resolve. It's during the second half of the episode fairly near the end, when he lifts his sword into the air. Link.

The second song appears a lot in the series. It's on this particular episode, where Yoruichi's explaining the concept of Bankai to Ichigo fairly early on in the episode.
Link.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

When who raises their sword? Urahara or Ichigo?
During Urahara: that track is unreleased, during Ichigo: just a variation of "Number 1" with no vocal (I don't think they'll ever release a "number 1" track without vocal.)

The last one is also unreleased.

So far, no new about OST3. I've been waiting for a while now.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Lets get this thread up again.

So I was watching Bleach last year. Started OK and got steadily better. I was enjoying immensely the Soul Society arc, limped through Bounto arc, and then just had to take a break once the Arrancar filler started up. I stopped watching for about 8 months.

It helped. Just have to keep taking breaks every so often through this filler.

That said, a spoiler-light rant about the Kasumi-Ooji filler:

Spoiler:

What the HELL was with the cut to this filler?! Ichigo just has a dramatic victory, the whole team is still quite possibly fucked, deep in enemy territory, and they just cut away to normal life, do their little arc (which was decent filler, but still), and then cut right back. All the way mocking the business executives in their "end of the episode" cute scenes.

And then they do it again! When the filler character says "I'll see you again Ichigo" I'm like yeah fucking right. But they do show up again! In the same arc! While Ichigo and team is still behind enemy lines and deep in shit! These are the worst, most flowbreaking, poorly handled filler transitions I've ever seen.

Also, about Chad/Sado's upgrade and my thoughts on him in general:

Spoiler:

Thank god he got that second arm. I hope it makes his fights more interesting to watch. At first I thought Chad had a pretty cool backstory, but he's become such a boring one-liner one-dimensional character, and his fights were the worst. Just straight punching and blasting at the guy, until he wins by brute endurance. OR he just gets insta-pwned. Plus, his only contribution to dialogue, dry straight-man humour, Ishida Uryu can do better anyway!

Manga question:

Spoiler:

My friend who reads the manga said Uryu has a big crush on Inoue Otohime. Like, a giant obvious one. Is that true? I mean in the anime there's like no hint that he's particularily interested at all. If it's true, maybe I need to read the manga to not miss things...is there enough difference to make reading the manga worth it if I'm enjoying the story?

It also strengthens my belief that if there is a romantic resolution (which is an IF in shonen), then Inoue's getting shafted.

For you guys talking about the soundtrack, get the movie soundtracks, they're basically show OSTs and have some of the better music.

Also, fun-fact: I found an online store selling some series 1 bleach figurines for $0.00. No shit. I even tried joke ordering 100 and it still cost $0.00. But I didn't get them. Because a) I didn't want to be on the hook, b) there's still shipping cost, and c) these figures were fantastically ugly.

I was speaking idiomatically.

For this thread to not come up is for good reason : Its dragging on too long for a villian who is , hands down, the worst character ever created. That aside :

Manga

Spoiler:

The anime pretty much shows alot of signs of Uryuu havin a crush on her (one of them being when she made a shirt for her). However, this lovers quarrel is just a one-sided deal since Inoue shows that she loves Ichigo before she left for Las Noches. I currently know whats going on in the manga. Possiblities are not endless but should lead to an ephemeral and boring plot twist. Really.. no one cares. I care that this story should end. If it does then I'll call it a decent series only because they were able to keep a shitty villianous character on point and connected with other characters who we thought weren't.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Unfortunately the anime/manga got too fast too boring on my side.

FELIPE NO
