You didn't watch the filler, right? I'm a little over halfway through, and it looks like Ken's going to get a serious battle soon. But this line is just too great. It's not a spoiler, really, since the invader is invisible. He sort of hit Ikkaku once and fled, and Ikkaku was telling Ken about it. Then Ken rails the guy for hiding.

Of course, after that pic below, Ken complains about it being boring lately and looks forward to the fight.

Jeez, he rules.

I tired my hand at that user bar site. Sort of lame, but decent for me I guess.

When does this Bount, or Bounto, or Bountou (Yes I have seen it translated 3 ways) end?

I'm kind of sick of it already, and it seems like it is raring up to go like 10-15 more episodes past 74.

Yeah, the 70s are the worst. 80s get a little better. It's only in the 90s that Soul Society gets invaded and you see some awesome stuff.

I found myself fast-forwarding through the 70s and 80s (easy with fansubs since you can still read). It's worth picking it up in the 90s; I'm in 103 and it should end in a few more episodes.

OK. I figured I was in the worst of it.

Wow! It doesn't end until 103. Sheesh.
But if they go back to Soul Society it ought to get a lot better.

I skipped all of the Bount arc after watching the first episode of it, which bored me. Yeah, hasty to judge, but... I just like to stick to the original plot. The arc after Bount is excellent so far, but fillers started again and I'm nearing the end of available episodes. THE HORROR!

The fillers end around episode 110, if I ain't mistaken, and start again around episode 130 or so. Damn fillers.

The Matsumoto episodes bored the HELL out of me. That was honestly the worst filler I've seen so far.

Episode 113 and back spoilers

Ugh, not looking forward to that, then. Rangiku is hot and Toshiro is cool and all, but they're not really struggling like the other characters. Toshiro's like one of those people who have sacrificed growth to achieve perfection. Theres' no evidence of him enduring some huge struggle yet or having other remotely human traits, whereas with Byakuya, at least you can ascribe his completely morose demeanor to the loss of his wife. I wish they'd hurry up and give him some backstory. His attitude with Ichigo "THATS CAPTAIN HITSUGAYA TO YOU) was crappy.

That said, I'm coming up on Ikkaku; I can't wait. Looking back, one of the greatest moments in the Bount filler (besides the Kenpachi fight) was the convenience store scenario with Hanataro and Ganju. It was beautiflu when Ganju had enough of that Ganguro telling him what to do and Stone Waved the entire store.

Hitsugaya doesn't have much of a background yet... From what I've read, he's apparently considered a prodigy, which limits his uniqueness, in my opinion (e.g. I'd rather see some better reason as to why he became a Shinigami). I'm looking forward to seeing Grimmjow's released state...

How far into Bleach are you now, ZeaLitY?

Ep 127. By the end of today, I'll be up to 133. Then I'll start watching it like I do Naruto. I wait two weeks and watch an hour at a time on Fridays, but I also keep two episodes ahead of me in case there's ever a special occasion and I want to watch two hours worth. If a new Bleach debuts next week, I'll be able to watch 134 and 135.

Jeez, I wish Grimmjow weren't an evil villain...because damn, he has style! I hope the story at least gives a hint on the Hollows' past lives, since Hollows are originally humans. Anyway, Ikkaku's stay at Keigo's house is hilarious. I love how he said "Zaraki Squad" instead of "Squad 11", and how he refused to do anything in Soul Society other than serve Ken. Speaking of which, this morning was the second in which I dreamt of Bleach stuff. I forgot what it was about, but Kenpachi was there.

Pretty bad for me.  I can't get into this show at all.  The only thing that I actually like is the music.  (Let the flaming commense!)

I have to say it is the coolest one, until now. Pretty different from what I imagined, also.


I hope the story at least gives a hint on the Hollows' past lives, since Hollows are originally humans.

There actually is a flashback of GrimmJaw's past, not as a human, but as a lesser hollow -- when he was still an Adjucha. Shawlong also appears in that flashback, as well as some other future arrancar.

Kenpachi looks awesome there. Of course. What episode is it from?

Also, peoples, what are your favourite Bleach openings/endings?
