Y0 dude, higher levels is going to be some Neo Matrix shit.

The culmination of everything to reach max level better be goddamn amazing. I just don't think I'll settle for anything less than that.

You know what bugs me about the manga though? They really ditched that whole "camera" system that was explained so well (no pantsu). So it became like we have to take it for granted that all IRL bursts are tracked by the bazillions of cameras in the world... Should have just said there is some futuristic 3d mapping technology or something.

It's like they anticipated it being asked somewhere, wrote in a 5,000 word diatribe explaining it, and then it's just assumed to be the case from there on out.

Maybe there's a "Big Brother is watching you" twist later.

She better not get owned.

Nah, he'll reveal that she's femAizen.
 
Urahara, Mayuri and Ginjou are more trolls than Shunsui.
Urahara maybe but he is always tight with Shunsei. And Shunsei never lets on how he is operating and knew an awful lot during TBTP. Urahara is more exposed. Mayuri aint a troll because he is straight up with his shit. He is just maniacal and awesome. Ginjou is dumb and you should feel bad for bringing him up.

Best captains are Shunsui and Mayuri.
 
What. I read TLR D and I didn't see that anywhere.

Chapter 6, when Riito's sister Mikan is mindcontrolled and Riito tries to restrain her, she locks his head with her legs and that inevitably results in her crotch being directly applied to Riito's face.

You could argue it wasn't a direct contact, but I find it rather squicky.

God I can't believe I just wrote that

Is Cage of Eden that good ? I read part of the first chapter and felt like a LOST-wannabe manga. Which is not good in my book.

What's up with his Shadow Shikai?
 
What's up with his Shadow Shikai?
All his shikai are based on children games. His zanpakuto is a pair of prankster children. Kageoni is based on a kids game of stepping on someone's shadow. So Kubo made it so you can hide in the shadows for an attack. A bit interpretive but not overly silly. Irooni, the color based attack game, is way cooler though. It's like huge risk/reward and much more of a "kids game" then the others.
Why are you guys reading To love ru? Isn't that a hentai?
No sex bro. But it tries its hardest in hilarious fashion.

My favorite Shikai (besides maybe Yamamoto's). It's like a Bankai in its creativity but it's still a shikai. I wonder what his Bankai could be.

Seems pretty clever. I had only seen it in the PS3 game.


I skipped most of the Arrancar arc (I must admit.) so I use the DVDs to catch up on that arc, slowly but surely.
 
Because that's a personality trait I like. Do you not like the word?
I'm confused on it supposedly being a personality trait. Isn't being chill like a state of being or something? How does one be "chill" personality wise? Why me confused? As far as I know, everyone in Bleach is more or less stoic like some Qui-gon Jinn shit.

It's pretty decent at times, but get's bogged down with some meh stuff in the middle. The recent chapters have been pretty good with the newest chapter just having a pretty comical wtf ending. But yes it does have a very LOST feeling to it, so if you didn't like that it doesn't change from that too much.
 
So... different faces and boob sizes?
And outfits/hair styles. Momo is full of style. Plus aliens, ghosts, and all possible fantasy forms of pretty girls.

A cultured read.
Shunsui's Shikai is an uninventive piece of crap.

"Very well then. I have no choice but to take your life."
 
We pretty much have exactly the same opinion. (aside from liking Byakuya best I guess, lol)

One thing I've noticed with people who are big fans of Bleach is that they tend to have a huge priority in a few categories, namely:

1. Awesum battles
2. Cool poses
3. Percieved depth/maturity
4. "cool" characters being the focus.


I think you're spot on in saying Bleach is pretty much DBZ with a thin layer of pretentious "depth" thrown over it. However this might ironically be it's strongest selling point.

In a way I don't see Bleach as a story as much as an attraction. There's a few base plot lines to carry the series along, but if you honestly assess how relevant these are to the story as a whole, most conveniently vanish in favor of battles.

Good post summing up the main attraction of bleach it’s all about “the rule of cool” and that’s what it does best, bleach has a ton of cool looking like able characters doing cool poses, attacks, wearing stylish clothing and saying cool shit, unlike naruto its still has retained it’s cool factor with it’s like able side characters even with the ones that don’t get that much screen time.

If you ignore the terrible final fight(all ichigo fights suck), fake karakura town is actually pretty good arc, I got had it to kubo, you knew it was going to come down to main character vs the big bad aizen but the captains& vizzard vs aizen crew & espada was unpredictable and very entertaining with some really cools fights like soifon vs barragan and tons of Legendary trolling.

The anime adds a lot to bleach like a great soundtracks and awesome cool voices making it more entertaining.


Soifon vs barragan best espada fight.

Byakuya is chill. Unohana is chill. Hitsugaya tried to be chill but comes off as whiny.

Shunsui is stoic when fighting, but he's not chill as a person. He acts like an idiot sometimes. Renji is not chill. Ikkaku is not chill. Kenpachi is not chill. Mayuri is not chill, but he's crazy. He's probably one of my favorite captains.

Ishida is not chill. Inoue is not chill. Chad is not chill. Ichigo is chill.

I've never had to use "chill" so much.

Agreed. The fights in the FKT arc were badass.
 
Decided to finally catch up with Berserk since the Dragons Dogma DLC and (against my better judgement) the new movie got me on a bit of a Berserk hype.

lol
 
Are we doing another manga bet? I also read another chapter of that red haired snow princess something yesterday so eventually I will fulfill my promise
Sure. Got to flip it this time though.

  • Pick a manga that you've wanted to read/finish for quite some time but haven't.
  • I have to then read one of your recommendations of a manga that is about the same length. No restrictions except I haven't read it.
  • Assign deadline based on length. Review due.
Probably more fun keeping both reads close in theme. But, no restrictions as stated.
 
Mucho to Rouji vol 10 or something

Started reading this while I was banned. It's pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of a mix of Neuro and Defense Devil. Characters are fun and the art is good even if it isn't always clear.

How about I join the bandwagon and read To Love-Ru including Darkness while you read Goodnight Punpun?

Deadline is one volume each week if you want or you can change it to something else. I will probably read faster than that since I have double the amount of volumes.

Wow I just re-read it because of dragon's dogma and I laughed at that panel :lol

lol The TLR reactions will be priceless so deal. How about we try to do a write-up with the volumes or at least select chapters per week? Just normal posts, nothing crazy. Should keep things on track and not just have some final review.

Berserk gonna get REAL soon, Miura recently said that he's going to do the Godhand's backstory "soon." However by "soon" this could mean a year.

posts witnessed :D.
 
Big 3 creates rifts and arguments.

TLRD brings everyone together.

I think it's clear which is superior.
 
You've already established you have no idea what you're talking about. Just stop.
No, if you even remotely think moe isn't an artstyle, you completely fail in every level as both a manga fan and a human being. There's never, in the entire existence of the universe, been a use for the term "moe" to describe a genre of anime/manga.
