I like Bleach a lot, but it’s gotten worse since the Arrancar arc started (I skipped the filler, so I can’t speak for that). The recent episodes are so boring! I loved the Soul Society arc- it was just pure crack and insanity. I agree that Bleach isn’t the most original series out there, but it’s a lot of stupid fun. And Orihime become more interesting later in the series. She’s the only reason I still watch it. I can relate to her a lot- she has low self-esteem, but she’s not emo about it, and tries to feel better. I really like that about her. But she was kinda boring earlier on. It’s not until later is Soul Society arc that I liked her. Now she’s my favorite female character.

Oh, and I watched the first episode of Trinity Blood and couldn’t understand what was going on. And not in that mysteries-for-later-episodes or this-is-pure-crack way, but that I didn’t know things that would’ve made that episode make sense. And the main character was a bad Vash knockoff.

@Ian Haha! I was wondering the same thing about the Edo-Japan afterlife. And its like… goddamn is the afterlife really that BORING? Just wandering around and old world town all day?

I agree. The sad thing about Bleach is that if it took itself more seriously and kept its premise tight and focused, it could be a much, much better anime. There are so many issues that could be addressed and explored with respect to Bleach’s Soul Society, the hollows, how death is viewed, etc. At the same time, so many things are glossed over (why model it after edo Japan? Do people from other countries and cultures end up in Soul Society, or do only Japanese people go to heaven? What about the more famous people that have died? It would be pretty bad-ass to see a Shinigami Abraham Lincoln..). It really is like a bunch of shit just slapped together…

I think the whole concept of souls turning into Hollows, the whole Soul Society thing, those damn Zanpakutos, and etc. are interesting. Sure, there are some “shinigami” manga/anime out there but I’ve never really encountered something like this. Of course, there’ll be a lot of characters as the story progresses. I personally like all of them (well…except for Uryuu. Never really liked characters with glasses and acts “cool”). And of course, there will be characters that’ll look like other characters from other anime because…well, guess what? There’s over a thousand of anime out there. I’m pretty sure some characters will look like said characters from said series. It’s just how it is. =P

Yes, you can tell I’m a BLEACH fan already. =P But like what others say in art or anything else, some people may like it and then some people may not like it. That’s just it. I do respect your opinion though. Just saying mine in return.

@Manga I think I might like Trinity Blood more if I could absorb/get into the plot. I’ve been contemplating if its worth buying on DVD or not one of these days. I enjoy the character designs, even if they are rather overwrought. I’m not usually into vampires and shit though.

Well considering that adult swim is basically the only source of
cable tv anime for us little aussies i think that bleach is pretty good..
Although i have already got 8 seasons of it on dvd i must say the fillers are
basically as long as the naruto ones. That really got on my nerves but i still
enjoy watching it. (sounds better in japanese personally).

Also i LOVE trinity blood, im not saying that everyone else has to like it
too but it would be nice if people considered others opinions. Just because
you personally dislike something that doesnt mean that every one has the same tastes.
And i again will not hate you for disagreeing with me its human nature after all..

So to tie it all off i do enjoy watching Bleach, Eureka 7 and Trinity blood but
i have seen better anime.

@Senji XD I will agree with you that there are worse things out there than Bleach.

Not to sound like I’m defending the series, it’s only one of my favorite 100 (somewhere in the 30/40s) anime, but the part about “kids missing and their parents worrying”…the manga actually was written well enough to discuss this subject since only Ichigo needed to worry about it.

Ichigo simply used Kon to take over his body to make his family think he was still there. Uryu, Orihime and Chad were all alone in terms of family. Orihime only had her big brother, but he past away. Uryu had his grandfather until he was killed by Soul Reapers. Chad, well, it was never really explained. And as far as their friends were concerned, they pretty much only had one another.

Really, the manga was far better. “Zombie Powder”, ‘Tite Kubo’s’ first project, was more of a sleeper hit but bombed due to his horrid release schedule and some mental break down he supposedly had at the time.

Ah well, its just a mindless anime you watch for fun. Nothing more. There are far better things out there at the moment, but there are also far, far far worse things at the moment too.

Omg….Bleach…another failed anime [AS] airs.
Why can’t they just get rid of all the anime they show on there.
Sure I love Anime, but they show sucky anime.
What they should show is great anime like Hellsing or Nerima Daikon Brothers or PaniPoni Dash! or something that worth watching.
I have to admit I use to watch it but that was only and only because I liked the theme song and ending song when it first aired.
I really agree with ya Sai.
Bleach. friggen. sucks.

I kind of like bleach not that much though. It’s something you must watch while in an altered state of mind, caffeine, sugar, things like that, and then you must watch copious amounts.
