Bleach

[Sho]

Lol, indeed. I just see more of a abhorrence towards the manga, and then leniency/enjoyment (for the most part) for the subsequent released anime. I'd ask "if all of you hate Bleach so much these days, why do you still read it?", but that would be met with resistance and random excuses.

Actually I think you all just enjoy Kubo nonsense writing and chatting about it. Bleach will never be as awesome as it was when it was the School and Soul Society Arcs, anyways.

I swear some of you did this during the Ulq fight, then when it anime'd up thought it was the coolest thing ever, lol.

Good animation =/= Good story. Ichigo going YuYu HakuBleach on Ulquiorra is still retarded and going on almost two years later, we still haven't learned the exact reasoning behind such a ridiculous power-up.

Shit was fun to watch though in a "turn your brain off" kind of way I'll give you that. People just read Kubo because it takes 5 minutes tops for free, the second people have to pay for this garbage you'll never hear of Bleach again. Seeing how OneManga and other similar sites are going down soon, that scenario might be more plausible then you think.

They actually explained the power up during that fight just recently. Like 3 chapters ago recently. It was Hollow Ichigo's form manifesting itself yet again, only stronger.

I'll agree with ya on the Manga sites shutting down and people giving up on Bleach, however. I'll also agree there has been many WTF moments that Kubo just tossed in there. However, this isn't, as many people can reminisce about the best (older) chapters in Bleach when they read this one.

What makes this all funny is the fact that this chapter got 2nd place in votes... (3rd if you count Naruto, but Naruto had Lead Color this week which is automatic 1st.)

[Cleverness]

How the hell did this take over Naruto this week? Japanese people have some problems.

And I'm sure it'll drop right back down this week after this crappy chapter considering it went so far as 9th place last week. Bleach has continuously struggled to even make top 5 for the last two months.

It didn't at all, Naruto got first. Kuro was just mentioning how Japanese people get a weird boner for colored opening page chapters.

Where are these rankings anyways? I've always been curious.

They go back to 2005 if you check the calendar. So, if you were ever curious how, say, Death Note did, it should be there somewhere. I think one of their posts for last month had a site that went even further back to like Yu Yu Hakusho times.

Manga's with Lead CP(Color Page) are always placed in 1st. I'm not sure if they're still able to vote for them, though.

But yeah, if you scroll down, you'll see that Bleach has been doing pretty shitty lately, so it's kind of funny to see a chapter that was pretty bad get 2nd all of a sudden.

[Correction]

When all of this gets ran through as anime I'm gonna seriously come back and see how many people say this part of Bleach is still "stupid." I swear some of you did this during the Ulq fight, then when it anime'd up thought it was the coolest thing ever, lol.

Yes, watching Aizen play hide and seek with schoolgirls for 3 episodes of anime will be far more epic than reading it for 3 chapters of manga.

[Cleverness]

Not gonna lie, the Don Kanonji appearing and his theme song playing is gonna be pretty awesome at that moment. Then Aizen will stop his music cold like he did to Ichigo.

[Souj]

wow, Aizen looks really fat in that clip.

[Sho]

Lol Fatty Aizen.

so I watched the anime a while back but kinda stopped following it and have no idea where to pick it up from if I want to continue, episode wise. I believe

Spoiler: show

Ichigo had just gotten to the place with Nel and they were trying to rescue Orihime or something, and there was a big forest of some sort with a bunch of the bigass grand thingys whose name I forget (like I said, been a while, lol) any clue where the fuck that is episode wise?

That describes about 75 episodes. however ep147 is when they 1st enter the forest.

[Qalbert]

Yeah, I know that was kinda vague, its been long enough that I don't remember much more, but that helps some, thanks.

torrent I'm using lists the start of an arc around 160ish, so I think I'll pick it up form there

Just read the manga, it's the lesser torture out of the two.

[Odesseiron]

The first episode where they enter that retarded forest is 147. It's filler until 150 I believe, then follows the manga til 167. 168-189 are all filler. 190-203 follow manga, 204-205 filler, 206-212 manga. I believe 213-214 are filler. 215-226 manga, 227-229 filler. 230-265 filler, 266-283 all follow the manga, hope this helps!

[Qalbert]

i dont mind a couple random eps of filler, is the 168-190 and 230-265 filler interesting at all?
