Bleach

Spoiler: show

2nd form Murcielago Ulquiorra its beating Ichigo so bad it kills him then it comes back as a 2nd form Hollow mode beating up Ulquiorra in about 2min without even breaking a sweat, its cool and all but a bit overdone IMO.

The "...then I got magically (very convenient) infinite power when I had no chance to win..." moments are cool but a good fight between Ulquiorra 2nd form & Ichigo 2nd form would have been much nicer than that.

Think Im going to just read the manga after this let down for me, hate the overdone Main Character allways win easy in this series

Lulz at the manga not being a let down....

In regard to this week's spoiler:

Spoiler: show

Isn't Rangiku missing like half her organs or something? I mean, I know Kira was in the 4th squad or w/e, but I doubt he's skilled enough to do more than keep her alive. Obvious answer being "Kubo forgot~"

Sounds like you forgot the Captain of the 4th squad is there as well.

Actually figured she'd still be busy trying to find the other half of Hiyori/fixing up the people who might impact the fight against Aizen versus taking the time to fix a lieutenant. Also, Kira's still on the ground when he notices she's missing. Why would Unohana fix Rangiku but not Kira?

I mean that I was only following the Anime till now but Im going to just get up to date to see how are thing further down the line, I kind of feel the series is getting too conservative and Im surprised that Naruto for example starting from a more childish tone has evolved much nicer so Im a bit dissapointed because I felt like Bleach had more potential at some point.

[Serra]

I think Kubo got caught up thinking his own idea was awesome and just kept adding things on without thinking it through. Also, he had way too many characters, and didn't wanna not use them.

Also, the whole, he doesn't plan things/remember things issue >.>;

hmm.. double posted by accident.. need to delete this one >.>;

Caught up on the canon anime today, stopped watching after that muramasa thing died...

and damn. Been so long I had more or less forgotten about that Ulq fight lol. And I forgot how much I used to really like Ulquiorra, and now I feel robbed for having what used to be an awesome character snatched away for plot ; ; not even a flashback

It really was great seeing Ichigo in his hollow form though, it came across much better than reading it in the manga, as fights usually do.

Meh, boring chapter of people just talking themselves up and setting up for the eventual fall. I did like though how Ichigo asked Gin why he thought he was safe, and then how Gin avoided the question.

After actually reading it, I guess Unohana could have healed them, left them unconscious, then ran off to fix more people up. Still think Kubo forgot though since it's been what.. over 2 years? >.>;

Does Ichigo's mask looks different to anyone else? I seem to remember it being different

Yeah, it used to just have stripes on the left side, but after his full hollow transformation with the stripes going up and down, I guess it makes sense that his normal mask would do the same.

[CrimsonAngel]

Talkin' about back when the stripes were on the side, or the fact that his left eye is hollowfied?

I guess I haven't really been paying too much attention to that, didn't even realize it looked like that in another chapter already.

hmmm.... i didn't notice about his eye till you said something, it is just like when he turned hollow during vizard training i dont think it was that way since then.... ill look up the image in the morning...

On the topic of masks it's also different in the current anime lol

Its been changing since he's became Hollowfied for the first time. I think it takes the two stripe form after he fights Ulq. and has his full hollowfication. Around the time that Ichigo reunites w/rukia and the mod squad while they are fighting yammy she mentions that she thinks his mask has changed also.
