[UltraGunner]

Villain introduction already?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

BUM BUM BUM!

 

[SykoTech]

Don't worry, we timeskip a fair amount in these early days. I believe this is just setup.

Ah, gotcha.

I thought they looked older in some of the preview footage.

 

[Raxus]

Bleach is adding more characters. Great...

 

[ReiGun]

I like that we're totally glossing over the fact that the way Ishida destroys Hollows is supposed to throw off the balance of the universe or some shit.

I guess they figure one Quincy can't do much damage to the balance.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Nope. Nothing abnormal there

 

[Rewrite]

so yeah you're totally not evil or anything guy.

 

[everyday math]

Seems like a swell guy.

 

[lazybones18]

oh great, saying his full name. That never gets old *rolls eyes*

 

[Gorillaz]

It's crazy that robot chicken is still on

it's a show about fuck all and it's still trucking along

 

[daveo42]

I don't see it getting animated until the manga is done.
Or at least close to done.

That could be YEARS from now considering Kubo's pacing.

I was actually thinking it would be after the manga ends, but I think there's less incentive to animate a manga that's already ended.

And...here comes the plot!

 

[GaimeGuy]

oh shit. He said Ichigo's full name. That means he's evil.

 

[Shard]

Hello, Arc Villian!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Search your feelings. You know it be true.

My feelings tell me long hair will always beat shot hair

 

[bigkrev]

Upside: there weren't a billion characters for me to (not) care about in the first half

 

[Tamanon]

Doesn't look like Aizen nearly as much in the anme.

 

[MikeMyers]

Bleach is adding more characters. Great...

Develop an existing character? Nah, just add a new one.

 

[Amikami]

Guy looks a hell of a lot like Aizen. But I guess he's not.

[Silky]

New Robot Chicken!

 

[Crocodile]

This new guy:

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Upside: there weren't a billion characters for me to (not) care about in the first half

yet

 

[Schadenfreude]

What are you guys on about? That guy is a total bro.

 

[Regiruler]

Keikaku begins

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Guy looks a hell of a lot like Aizen. But I guess he's not.

Sounds like him too.

Ichigo..........Kurisaki.

 

[ckohler]

Doesn't look like Aizen nearly as much in the anme.

Is that a spoiler? I've never seen this.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Develop an existing character? Nah, just add a new one.

Sounds like One Piece

I really never got the comparisons to Aizen, he really doesn't look like him that much

Eh, I can see it

 

[BassForever]

I really never got the comparisons to Aizen, he really doesn't look like him that much

 

[B-Dubs]

Doesn't look like Aizen nearly as much in the anme.

Which is disappointing to me.

 

[daveo42]

This new guy:

Oh man that's just perfect. This thread deserves more Jojo. Toonami deserves all the Jojo.

 

[Seda]

I didn't think he looked like Aizen?

 

[BatDan]

Develop an existing character? Nah, just add a new one.

This is one of Kubo's admitted weaknesses.
When he can't figure out what to do, he just makes a bunch of new characters.

I didn't think he looked like Aizen?

It's worse in the manga.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Bleach is adding more characters. Great...

I find this comment weird actually

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

So how many episodes does this arc last?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

My feelings tell me long hair will always beat shot hair

Then you're going love (OP spoilers)

Spoiler

timeskip Nami and Robin

 

[The Silver]

Wow, he mad.

well. there's never been an opening more important than AoT's.

 

[MikeMyers]

Sounds like One Piece

Or like every Shonen battle series ever.

 

[Plywood]

I see you, Ply. I. See. You.

yeah their really shouldn't be posts of "I can't wait to read the reactions" right before something happens

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Bleach is adding more characters. Great...

At least we have no more Mod Souls or Bounts.

 

[UltraGunner]

Oh great, that one song from that one folk band they play on the rock stations for some fucking reason.

 

[Professor Lich]

Guys, I just want to watch Space Dandy. What do I do?

 

[todd360]

Wait so is demarco pissed that funimation gave him a messed up opening or is he pissed because people are mad about it?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I didn't think he looked like Aizen?

I never thought he looked like Aizen

 

[Imperial Bishop]

This new guy:

Polnareff shits on half the Bleach main cast.

#BringJoJoToToonami

 

[Amikami]

Sounds like him too.

Ichigo..........Kurisaki.

Just gonna call him Aizen 2.0. Hope he proves as entertaining.

 

[daveo42]

Sounds like One Piece

Pfft...arc characters are well developed. And we have Nami and Robin.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Then you're going love (OP spoilers)

Spoiler

timeskip Nami and Robin

I already do

Spoiler

Im past the timeskip in OP, tho I need to get back to it.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Or like every Shonen battle series ever.

Pretty much. Not sure why anyone would complain about new characters being introduced in a ridiculously long running shonen.

 

[BassForever]

Long hair > Short hair

ALWAYS

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Just gonna call him Aizen 2.0. Hope he proves as entertaining.

This was his nickname in the fan base during the entire run of this arc.
