Adachi has the best endings! He gives closure on the important stuff.
Well, except for Q&A. But that doesn't count.
Just replace pirate with ninja and you know what Naruto is about as well

Am surprised they fixed it so soon.
I should've known.
Even people who have read Bleach can't tell me what it is about.

I thought it was pretty obvious Bleach was about getsuga tensho.
A mixed race ginger goes to heaven to rescue his ghost waifu from all the ghost samurai.
(This is a meant to be the Soul Society arc in a nutshell but it works for Hueco Mundo as well. Just replace heaven with "Mexico Heaven")
Hijinks ensue. Rated PG13 For cartoon violence and giant swords.
^Haha Neorice.

I can roll with this
Bleach is about Ichigo, his life, challenges and heritage.
I like his endings as well but I can see why someone would like to get some more closure.
Just wanted to set dumbyugi's expectations right
This literally means nothing.

Perhaps if the best player had been introduced much earlier, but she has such an awful personality. I do wonder if they will against them or lose here. One other sports series I think I read that had been cancelled actually had the team lose, so Im prepared to see them lose here

Sounds like Naruto and One Piece.
And 90% of action shounens. If not 100%.
Naruto is about Naruto and his interactions with the Ninja World, it's laws, enemies and history.
One Piece is about Luffy and his interactions with the World Government, it's laws, enemies and history.
[insert manga here] is about [insert protagonist here] and their interactions with [insert antagonist/organisation here], its laws, enemies and history.
That's what people say something is about when they have no other answer. Everything is always about something, what you just said isn't an answer anyone would accept for any book. Every story is about something.

It means everything since Bleach is a character driving manga.
Fucking lol.
No it does not. Character driving =/= story driving.
Even in a character driven story there are tangible things going on in the background that you can say it's about. It may not be an overarching plot but there is always something. Also LOL.

Now everyone's just trolling. Bleach is about shinigami and a human who has shinigami powers. The plot goes from there, but its being obtuse to suggest the plot is indescribable or even all that out there. One Piece is about a guy with rubber powers who wants to be the pirate king and Naruto is about a kid soldier with a demon spirit sealed inside of him.
These aren't difficult and everyone pretending to find it hard to classify them is just trolling each other to get Wedensday GAF started early.

How sudden that almost everything is about Ichigo. Aizen wanted Ichigo, Soul Society wants Ichigo,the Soul King wants Ichigo and Juha Bach wants Ichigo. The whole story revolves around him.
You can't be serious.
"[insert manga here] is about [insert protagonist here], his life, challenges and heritage." doesn't say a damn thing about the series.

Nah man everything has to be deep as hell for my manga of choice.
What you said earlier wasn't what a story is about. It's what people say a story is about when they want to make it sound better than it is. If you want to know what Bleach is about look below:
That's all it's about. That's literally all you need to say. Don't try and make it more than it is.

Yeah, Onodera should be in that position. At least best girl won.
Eh, just because the main character doesn't have a defined goal doesn't mean a series lacks plot.
Like I said, Ichigo's interactions with SS, it's laws, enemies, and history is a decent premise. I don't care if One Piece has all that plus Luffy wanting to be Pirate King. A plot is still a plot.
And in the world Kubo created, what really could be Ichigo's goal? Kubo could've gone the easy way, sure, and gave him the intention of becoming no.1 Soul Reaper, but how god awfully generic is that, especially when Ichigo himself is quite complex compared to other Shonen heroes.

Please. Goku is more complex than Ichigo and he's a blank slate.
Magi Sinbad thingy
This was really nice, hope we get more of this.
Baal looked awesome.
One Piece theory and speculation time
I reread the whole Punk Hazard arc to the newest chapter and one thing that came to my head was how Law saved Luffy back then after Marineford.
He said back then he has his own intentikns in saving him, so was his intention just to form an alliance with him to do what they do now?
And now let's say you can't trust Law.. maybe he wants to make a deal with someone else and took Luffy's heart back then.
In his group right now there are also just the "weak" strawhats.
Probably this all is nonsense but I can't understand Law's doings

Those crazy fans are still at it?
Welp
time to jump out for a while.
Sheesh.. Angry-man, you're so slow sometimes! Look, we're already done with the whole numbered OT business, okay? We're not doing it anymore! No sir! The possibilities are limitless. See:
Manga News/Discussion |DTL| Only thing better than Wednesday GAF is talking about WednesdayGAF
This is sad.
It would be so lame for Law to doublecross them. Post-marineford would have been the perfect oppurtunity for Law to take Luffy's heart though.
Oda showed the heart cubes being used a lot in Punk Hazard - used as blackmail, to incapacitate opponents etc. I don't think it would be ridiculous for Luffy's heart to come back into the storyline.
Hahaha, |DTL|
Ichigo is one of the more realistic heroes in Shonen. He acts like a normal human being would in the situations that arise. Just because he isn't defined by a single trope, such as a love for meat, doesn't mean he lacks personality. He's under gone subtle developments through out the series, but many people overlook them as Kubo often shows it visually, rather than spelling it out in bold.
If you think Ichigo's the same character as he was in the beginning, you have to be joking.

Pretty terrible that the person, assuming its the same guy, is still at it these months later. I guess he'll still even continue when season 2 finally roles around. Hopefully IG doesnt get threats around the anime...
At least for the fans sake, we do get a continuous flow of KuroBas doujins.

Goku...more complex than Ichigo? LAWL!
These crazy people just won't leave Kuroko alone.
I wonder what's the current count for doujins and how much higher it could have been if not for all these threats.
There's not much point to slowing down, is there?
At best, forcing themselves to stop reading more often (and pulling themselves out of the mood for no reason), will gain them, like, 1 more chapter to read through before they're caught up. They're better off just going wild and enjoying it while they can.

I wouldn't argue he's particularly complex. His only real goal is defending his friends from the shenanigans they get involved in.
Berserk:
I guess it depends on how much they slow down, but the series is much more enjoyable when you aren't waiting for a new chapter every 3-5 months.

Kaiji is amazing. I don't even know how you managed to stop yourself at 3 episodes enough to post about it.
After you finish the two anime seasons, make sure to read the manga for Part 3. The anime is really well done but the manga is amazing too, it's not worth waiting for any elusive 3rd season. Also this thread can help you with any Mahjong confusion

I need help with the mahjong cause the first volume confused the hell out of me.
Part 4 is also getting translated now so I'm losing motivation to finish part 3.
