Holy shit.

I've been following it from the very beginning (anime) and it's getting just so fucking amazing now.
I can't wait to see Ichigo's Bankai. :D

Talking about Bankai, is it just me or is it one of the greatest concepts in any anime ever?
It's the way the move has so much grace, simplicity and beauty to it yet is utterly lethal.

Just watch Episode 52-53 when Byakuya uses his Bankai on Renji... Jesus Christ.
The effortlessness of it - the way he drops his blade and in mid air calls out "Bankai" - the way the sword gracefully sinks down into the ground. Even the way he says "Bankai" is a work of art on its own.

:lol welcome

Ah man, this episode is just a flashback so far (and we're past the halfway mark). Oh well, it's still entertaining (unlike the current Naruto episodes...).

Spoke too soon, now we're getting somewhere. :D

Glad I waited this time instead of getting the first speed sub. Downloading now.

Correct, Wednesday at Japan time. That means Tuesday for North America, which is today, and courtesy of ultrafast speed subbers it's already subbed!! Get it now!!

I caught up with the series when they were at episode 32, at first yeah getting used to one episode per week is just torture, but I'm used to it by now.

I was there since the begining, and I held out watching Bleach for like 7 episodes while watching other series, then when I watched all 7, I would wait a good long while to build it all up again to watch at once, but right now I so damn hooked on Bleach I caught it all up by episode 17, it is indeed painful now. Your still lucky enough to watch such large chunks but than again the withdrawl is all impactfull when you get through so many episodes then once a week after that.

Sumidor · (11-09-2005, 06:40 AM)

Well, I watched the first 12 episodes on dvd, and then I couldn't find anymore episodes, so I stopped watching. Then like 2 months later I started watching again and here I am.. addicted.. and I need my weekly fix.

Anyways, I liked this week's episode tons more than last weeks. They seemed to jam in a lot of things in this episode. Compared to the last few, that seemed to barely move the story along at all. Next week's episode looks like it could be the best one so far this season.

What?! The last few episodes contained the incredible episode 54!! It's kind of hard to beat, cause of all the build of the rescue and how much Ichigo just plain kicked ass. Anyway, all the episodes have been pure gold for me lately, so it's still great to hear.

No, it airs Tuesday (last night). Naruto airs tonight at 7:30 while Bleach airs on Tuesday at 7:30. :P

Can't say I'm all that excited for Naruto tonight, though. They need to hurry up and get back on track, but I know it won't happen until 2006...

HomerSimpson-Man · (11-16-2005, 06:01 AM)

Another jizztastic episode of Bleach, 58, has been released. Spank away boys!!

Ferrio · (11-16-2005, 08:29 AM)

Well...didn't expect that's what it'd look like.

nubbe · (11-16-2005, 09:32 AM)

I am disappointed they didn't play Number One during the Bankai

Akia · (11-16-2005, 06:34 PM)

Bankai! That was great!

Cloudy · (11-16-2005, 11:32 PM)

HomerSimpson-Man · (11-17-2005, 12:01 AM)

BANKAI!!

Finally got to watch it, badass!! The love the lighting and animation during the first stage of the Bankai charge, got to make a gif out of that. Thinking of Rukia when he changed and stating along the lines of his strength was because of Rukia...I love it!! Very valiant. As for Ichigo's bandai, pure unadulterated asskickery!!

When he deflected all the blossom blades...holy shiiitee....

I love this series!!

Yea, chapter 162 (this current episode) in the manga was awesome! It seemed like the fight was ripped straight from it. The entire chapter was full-color, too!

just saw the episode holy shit this series keeps getting better and better Ichigo bankai's is fucking awesome. Loved the look on Baykuya's face when Ichigo held the sword at his throat :lol Ichigo was like "what bitch what? didn't hear ya... "

cool beans... need to start reading the manga again too

dark10x · 09:43 AM

Anyone else watching right now?

Very awesome...

Almost thought it was over for Ichigo, but... (of course, how could it be, as he's the main character?) He was overcome by the hollow form for a moment.

Luscious LeftFoot · (11-22-2005, 12:52 PM)

Anyone know how long this series will be?

I had heard it was going to end after the Soul Society arc, but I'm wondering if it'll continue in the vein of Naruto/One Piece.

well on *** last subs for it he wrote it will be going into a 22 ep filler. So I guess it will be going a little longer. If there is filler, theres bound to be more on the other end.

Beezy · (11-22-2005, 02:12 PM)

Crow, I don't think that we're supposed to mention the names of sub groups.

well I was told that was for licensed Anime. Bleach isn't licenced as far as I know, but i edited my post anyway.

That's alright, i'm not enjoying the recent Manga arc anyways.

HomerSimpson-Man · (11-22-2005, 04:58 PM)

I haven't read the manga for good long while so I don't know what's going to happen pass a few recent episodes, but after Soul Society there is pretty much no way to top that. Any follow up would seem meager in comparison It's a freakin' grand slam already, since most of Bleach was composed mostly of these events, it had everything!!

kamikaze · (11-23-2005, 06:57 AM)

another solid episode...i think the anime has actually done a nicer job with pacing than the manga thanks to the inserted scenes with hitsugaya/matsumoto. the transition to the next part of the story will be less abrupt.

and it looks like they're skipping a week which works out well enough since i'll be away on vacation anyway. :D

Error · (11-23-2005, 05:35 PM)

saw the episode, wow just wow.. how come this series gets better with each episode. the Soul Society arc will be very hard to top, I feel pity for the next arc. It just can't get better than this.

I didn't like how they handled the Ichigo Hollow part he tranforms start kicking Byakuya's ass, then somehow manages to overcome the hollow and they keep fighting like nothing happened? right.

Culex · (11-25-2005, 01:06 AM)

After seeing episode 59, I have newfound respect for Baykuya.
