Because you can't justify anything. You and and some others resort to one liners because you have nothing else to say, and you can't prove anything that you claim.
Prove me wrong! Put up or shut up.
I'd say we'll have a decent conclusion before the end of the year man.
He is hinting at some sort of conclusion.
Theres still plenty for you to dive into. You should read a block of about 20 chapters and wait for it to finish. Great stuff.

Reburst is awesome! It has the makings of a solid battle shounen with a Pokemon skin.

Well...I'm not sure, but I'm sure is a much better manga.
Also, GO Okabe GO!

Probably a bad idea, but I'll bite. First, your point about Ichigo driving the plot doesn't work, he's as much a pawn of others as Luffy or Naruto. Wasn't the entire soul society arc set up by Aizen? Sure, Ichigo went to save Rukia, but Aizen was the one who put Rukia in danger in the first place, and later Aizen used Ichigo's entrance into Soul Society as a distraction to further his own purposes. And isn't One Piece basically entirely driven by Luffy's decision to become Pirate King? Isn't that the starting point of the whole series?
But backing up a bit, I'm getting drawn in to your definition of a character driven story, which is frankly pretty weird. It's not whether the character's drive the plot--that's basically every story ever. What makes it "character driven" is that the characters are the most interesting part of the story. I don't really see the characters in Bleach as more complex, or realistic, or interesting than any other shonen battle series. Ichigo is the generic male lead who wants power in order to protect his friends, just like Luffy and Naruto. I barely remember that, at one point, he was guilty over his mother's death, because it's honestly not very important to the story. How do I know that? Because Kubo has spent virtually no time on it, or anything related to Ichigo's personal life, since he first left for Soul Society.
Don't think of this as Bleach bashing. I don't think any mainstream shonen battle series would really qualify as character-driven, and they don't need to. These kind of series are supposed to be about cool superpowers and interesting adventures, not deep psychological portraits. I would say that ATLA makes an attempt (and not an always successful one) to make their characters realistic, relatable, and develop over time, but that's a very different kind of series than Bleach.
Hmm. I'll try to read it again.
Looks like you haven't been lurking long enough.

No, I'm just an idiot.
Minamoto is the greatest smut manga of all time. Fuck all the TLRD fanboys
die in a fire auntit stan
I just realized ... when was the last TLRD post. Or maybe I've just overlooked them all somehow.

As Big One explained earlier, there's no reason it would just be that random guy from a single chapter. There isn't any weight to that reveal at all, and there's no evidence. It might as well literally be any random Uchiha or like Naruto's evil twin brother or something.
Again 18
Akira faces are so awesome
Best chapter so far and that's saying a lot seeing how the previous chapters were all great. This is probably the first Akira centric chapter and she really needed one. Ever since their Again, we only looked at Imamura and his new life without seeing how Akira is coping with her new life. She is still stalking Hiro and isn't popular like she used to be, but at least she didn't fuck up the new timeline too much.
The Hunter x Hunter spoiler panel was the funniest thing to come out of the manga

Phhh. Beam over analyzes Bleach. You can do the same thing to a ton of other manga/material and still make it seem deep. Keep sugar-coating, Beam. You forget that Kubo's primary goal is to design characters and make them look cool before anything else.
Don't forget that the members of the OP crew have goals of their own.
Also, shout-outs to Orohime and Chad because who the hell are they again?
Except Ichigo was a puzzle in Aizen's plot.
You also seem to forget Luffy's influence in the war of the best. But I bet you tuned that out. Way to be selective.
But it's okay you know, keep doing what you're doing; it's so blatantly obvious that you're mad Bleach gets a ton of shit as opposed to OP.

i think tobi is using zetsu(or his dna) to keep his body together, as you guys should have noticed, the guy doesn't bleed blood, his body breaks apart when hit and goo spills out. in fact, im gonna guess that Orochimaru made zetsu.

That's largely the same prediction I made like 6 pages ago

yea but i made it like a year ago
,anyway, how will tobi go about casting an infinite tsukyomi? I thought that was itachi's genjutsu, not a genjutsu that all sharingan eyes possess. Maybe sasuke can do it now since he has itachi's eyes but we really haven't seen him go all out.
The full top 50 (it was even top 100 at a time) is only available for people who has a sort of subscription with Oricon. There's a 2ch thread where people compile the charts.

We all make mistakes sooner or later. It's whether or not we learn from them that makes a person stupid.
This is awesome, will help me a lot tracking down a lot of the series that never registered in the top 30. Thanks.
edit: fuck, I can't find Minamoto
edit2: A Girl by the Sea sold 14,658, not bad Asano
Not to mention Upandaway and I aren't reading TLR daily anymore.

i made it when the series' one shot came out before it got serialized.
If it bothers you that much y'know I can always force you to reread everything with me

Sasuke has had Tsukuyomi for a while, but his sucks compared to Itachi's.
He tried it back in the Bee and Danzo fights.

no he tried his own genjutsu and danzou said it was shit compared to itachi's tsukuyomi
Not a chance. I was just pointing out why someone might feel that TLR is getting metioned far less than it used to.
I like the fast rejection!
