Bleach Volume 1 [chapter 1-7]
So Bleach was always the manga out of the big 3 that I was the most interested in. It's the type of serious/gritty that I can get into. Cool back story, fun cast of characters, awesome Bankai etc.
I watched the anime up until about episode 50 or so, right before the filler I think but got side-tracked.
Anyway. The first volume is really strong with Ichigo's introduction to the Hollows and the work of a Soul Reaper.
I was always more of a Rukia fan than an Orihime fan, but reading the manga I think my choice will be a bit more difficult this time around. Rukia looks a bit more goofy in this, although I assume the art will improve over time.
Definitely going to stick with Bleach. Dunno when (if ever) I'll be caught up cos I know it's supposed to end soon-ish(?).
I'll give One Piece and Naruto a go, at least for a volume or 2. I'm more interested in One Piece than Naruto, however, so I expect to drop Naruto.

This is where people must avatar quote, right?
Meh, the current one doesn't really fit.
I was expecting mecha-kurita to pop up instead, updated for the occasion. Disappointment all around.

I never noticed his eyes go like that for clairvoyance, though maybe it was mentioned a long time ago in the chapter on it.

The silly moments are just as good as the typical action plan moments. I cant wait to see what Shino's come up with to handle the possessed.

Lol I've been reading Hanamizawa Q-taro sensei's Marusei, which is supposedly a memoir of his career. Its highly NSFB.
If this is accurate
, good lord. Who knew mangakas were so popular among women.
I liked his works Rec (NSFB) (and is getting an anime soon or so I hear), Momoiro Sango (NSFB) and Shounen yo Taishi o Dake! (NSFB).
edit: then again, ken akamatsu supposedly has a nekomimi cosplaying wife. I'm jelly

No, she is. There's no way she isn't one.
It took you this long to think she might be a monster?

Fairy Tail Zero was absolutely incredible. What a story of the origins of friendship...
That's part of it too. I more just meant that the first few breathers read (and look, visually) more extreme and more on the perverse side. The ones after are more tame when it gets into bondage and restriction and so-on as opposed to all the exhibition play.

Haikyuu!! springhigh
I just realized we probably wont get both a karasuno v aobajosai or datekou repeat, why is he having aobajosai v datekou in the same round

Haikyuu!! 114 - 115
It would be so weird of Karasuno lost against Wakutaniminami, would he be that daring and bold to do it?
I fully expect it to be an arc that will last awhile, simply for if he is going to give tons of attention to the Aobajosai Dateko match, I hope.

Himouto! Umaru-chan
Its weird having Umaru in the inside Umaru outfit while in outside Umaru form. I suppose that's how you could tell she wasn't going to like the manga cafe, though.

That's probably a good place to stop.
Orihime's good in comedy. Rukia's good in everything though.
You really are a masochist.

Onodera was cute in her outfit.
But fuck, don't drag Haru back in. She doesn't deserve that

Funny, that's where I stopped watching the anime as well!
Of the big 3, Bleach has by far the best first volume. It's interesting right from the start- Naruto takes till Zabuza, and Early One Piece took me years to slog through before it gets interesting.
I pretty much consider Bleach "completed" as soon as the Soul Society arc ends.

Oh hey, that's where I stopped seriously reading Bleach!
The first few volumes of Bleach are my favorite in the entire series. Soul Society is decent and everything else after that...dont' expect much, is all I can say. To it's credit, due to the nature of the fights in the series reading an entire volume will take you about 5 minutes on average.
I'd stay far away from Naruto, it's pretty much awful outside of the first two arcs or so. The Sasuke arc is just so awful and forced and full of emo garbage and it gets even worse than that as the series goes on.
as for One Piece, I didn't really hit my stride with it till CP9 arc which is a pretty good ways off. However, it pays off for you for the most part as when you hit CP9 arc you realize how important everything before it was to the actual plot and story as a whole. Then One Piece really opens up and becomes this really huge and massive setting that is still till this day probably the best world building in the adventure manga genre.

Hueco Mundo and Fake Karakura were great though especially that whole volume on Grimmjow fight, and animated at least had some of the best fights. I cant wait to reach it in this fourth rewatch currently.

No. Bleach just needs to be what's done to Dragonball Kai, only do it to the manga.

I liked Haru a lot more when she hated Raku, with that said, sounds like a Haru focused chapter is coming so I can't hate that.
I "love" how the main cast is a year older at this point then when the series started but they look exactly the same, while the first year students look younger than the main cast did at the start of the series.
I guess new generations just keep getting younger while older ones stagnate in growth.

Yes, but hundreds of chapters earlier. Honestly, if they
had Ichigo losing his abilities after finally rescuing Rukia, it would've been one of my favorites from Jump.

Naw, there were some unanswered questions at that point like with the Soul King, Squad 0 and the Quincies.
That's what this arc is answering now so it should end after this. And I think this arc is actually pretty decent (been in a bit of a slog for some chapters now, but it started pretty good)
Quite the commentary on life.
