Comments and Sites

First of all, I added new innovations to this Blog by allowing people to appropriately comment on my blog. Of course they can't be derogatory because if people were to post up stuff like that, then I might be in trouble. Secondly, I will be posting up sites for Manga & Anime updates on Bleach that I just happen to visit every day. Feel free to send me suggestions on posts or you can comment your opinion on a post I've written, but keep it appropriate it please once again.

Manga Sites: http://www.mangareader.net/  (Bleach will come out after its release on MS)
http://mangastream.com/  (Bleach comes out here first mostly)

Anime Sites: http://animeready.com/ (Tuesdays releases for Bleach)

Hopefully this may or may not help the fans if they want to know where I read & watch Bleach and other Shonen releases (ex: Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail, etc). Thank you again for supporting my blog & once again, Tuesdays: Bleach Episode and Wednesdays (sometimes Tuesdays or Thursdays): Shonen Jump Releases. Please if you haven't yet to vote on the poll. 

All things have an origin...Manga & its' influence.

Before Anime had its start on Television & Websites, there was Manga, the Japanese equivalent of Comic Books in America. The main differences between both is the art style and how it's read. Traditional books in the U.S. are read from front to cover, but Manga is read in reverse, reading back to front. In America, it's translated and shipped to bookstores for the enjoyment of the consumers. In Japan, it's a phenomenon for readers to be interested in fictional and nonfictional works by artists that wish to become the next big thing in the Manga industry. Its a work of art.....from its characters to the plot-line and to the colorful illustrations....Manga, like Comic Books, are works of art made from the hearts and creativity of the illustrators and authors. Some of my favorite Comic Books include DC & Marvel (Batman, Superman, Green Lantern & Bleach, Naruto, & One Piece). Overall, I enjoy reading Manga & Comic books. I enjoy such artists such as Tite Kubo, Hiroyuki Takei, Msashi Kishimoto, Stan Lee, Frank Miller, and Bryan Lee O'Malley. I hope for all Anime fans to know that Manga is what started everything before it was first televised. I have a vast collection of Mangas and it still grows.

Thanks again for supporting my Blog. Don't forget to vote on poll if you haven't done so yet. I will try and add  new innovations to our Blog by this weekend. Enjoy your weekends fans around the world. Remember to catch the new Shonen Jump releases on Wednesdays (early on Tuesdays & late on Thursdays) & to make sure to catch up on anime series on Websites.

Ginjo vs Ichigo & Uryu + Riruka vs Rukia (Manga) and Thoughts on the new episode

First off, Rukia is now a cute a$$ doll that is defenseless against Riruka. She can't wield her Zanpaktou or use Kido. However, I believe that Rukia hasn't given up yet and her will to keep on fighting, but not initially kill her, is what Rukia is aiming for. As well as their fight goes, we'll get to see next time Riruka's explanation on their lives differ from others. Meanwhile. Ginjo faces off Ichigo + Uryu and.....is hella strong now. Not only does he have his powers, but he can now incorporate Ichigo's powers (such as using Getsuga Tensho). That fight is what I'm really curious to see if both are evenly matched.

As well as the Manga goes, the Anime was just "okay" in my opinion. The only difference is now the thug who Ichigo beat up suddenly goes after Ichigo's friends, Keigo and Mizuiro and Ichigo dashes to the scene with Tatsuki with her. I'm curious to know how they'll expand on the Anime from the Manga.

Thank again for supporting my blog. The new poll is up and only 4 days are left to vote. Check out Bleach Manga on Wednesdays (Tuesdays if early and Thursdays if late) and the Bleach episode (Tuesdays).

Delay!? Bleach chapter not today, but tomorrow?

Unacceptable! Unacceptable! U-N-A-C-C-E-P-T-A-B-L-E! The new Bleach chapter is delayed (According to Mangastream). Despite my anger with this, I can't do anything. All we can do is either pray that it will come out way later today or be released sometime tomorrow. Anyways, I'm interested to know what is going to happen in the next chapter. As for the Anime, I'm just gonna say that in the Manga, neither Keigo or Mizuiro got pummeled by one of thugs (bandage on cheek). I hope Bleach progresses more and that the release of the new chapter will come out soon. Thanks again for supporting my blog.

I will post up my response to the chapter tomorrow and my full opinion on both the Manga and Anime.

Ichigo vs Naruto = The heroic clash.

First off, I have nothing against Naruto, but I find Bleach more interested. I read both Bleach and Naruto every week, but what do you think I read first? I am quite fond of Naruto and sometimes I will admit that the new chapter is a lot more exciting than the Bleach, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm downplaying the Bleach chapter. It just means that Naruto, in terms of fight sequences and story progression, is faster than Bleach, but once again....I'm not applying that I hated the Bleach chapter. In terms of who I think is stronger: Ichigo or Naruto, well that's a manner of opinion. For all, one is a human/Shinigami and the other is a human/ninja. To be honest, in terms of strength and endurance, I'd say Ichigo would win (since I doubt ninjas can see spirits), but again this is only my opinion. Some may argue that Naruto is way stronger, but my opinion goes without saying. You can post your opinion on the matter, but my choice is made. I will say that both mangas are published weekly on Wednesdays (sometimes Tuesdays and rarely Thursdays), but I thoroughly enjoy reading both, regardless if it's action packed or boring. I mean we don't like cliffhangers and yet every chapter is entitled to end as one, but that doesn't mean that the next chapter will be any less what you expect....kick ass, exciting, boring, or maybe even unexpected. Who knows. I like both Bleach and Naruto, but in my opinion, Bleach will always be #1 (despite Naruto theoretically being #1). I am fond of not just the characters, but of the swords and their abilities. I am also a very huge fan of the Ichigo X Orihime thing, but again some may argue otherwise on it being Ichigo X Rukia or Ichigo X Nel. Again, that is strictly my opinion (Although Rukia has gotten cuter and Nel has always been hot in her adult form).

Thank you again for supporting my blog. I'm grateful again to you. Tune in on Wednesdays for the new Naruto and Bleach chapters and on Tuesdays for the new Bleach episode. Have a great weekend!

Byakuya Vs Tsukishima Pt 2/Rukia vs Riruka (Manga) and the New Bleach episode (Anime)

First off, the series is progressing little by little. In the last chapter, Tsukishima seems to have an advantage over Byakuya, but that won't stop Byakuya from trying to best Tsukishima at his game. However, I will say that for an opponent to do this much to Byakuya (other than Ichigo), Tsukishima is pretty impressive, but I think all fans are going to agree with me on this....Tsukishima is no match for Byakuya and Byakuya probably his own bag of tricks. Secondly, the Rukia and Riruka fight was.....weak! I mean really! Riruka is a cute character, but I'm a big fan of her abilities and Rukia being suckered in by it is pretty cute. Now Rukia is a cute dog and Riruka seems to have an advantage, but I think Rukia will still overcome the odds and defeat Riruka IF and only IF she can somehow wield her Zanpaktou.

Secondly, Ikumi is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean both in the Anime and the Manga, she's smoking hot with big a$$ watermelons and is quite fond of Ichigo, since she's his boss and all. I found Orihime's constant fidgeting in Ichigo's room to be cuter than the Manga counterpart. Karin, I have to admit, is also pretty cute with her new hairstyle and her school uniform. I hope that both the Anime and the Manga progress more as I continue to read and watch it and give my honest feedback on it.

Thank you for voting on the polls and supporting my website. I will put up the new poll sometime this week. Enjoy your week and Let's hear it for Bleach......WHOOOOOOO!

Tsukishima vs Byakuya (Manga) and Start of the new Bleach arc (Anime)

First off, the fighting is coming back again in the manga, but is still progressing slowly, little by little. This time, the chapter focuses on the conclusion of Ikkaku's and Moe's fight and the continuation of Byakuya vs Tsukishima. First off, Tsukishima is a bastard! I mean he think's he slick, sly, and witty, but Byakuya knows better. Unfortunately, what Byakuya didn't count on was Tsukushima's ability to effect non-living things as well as living things. With this in mind, it gave Tsukishima an advantage and just like the previous Bleach fights, it's a freaking cliffhanger. Well I do hope the fight with these two progresses more and that Byakuya, may or may not, be alright with Tsukishima's fight. As for the conclusion of the other fight, it was to be expected. What astonished me is that Moe hasn't realized until now that Tsukishima has been using him. Ikkaku reassures Moe that he shouldn't fight or die for a man who wouldn't do the same. Well that fight ended abruptly, but Ikkaku makes a clear point. Let's pray that the fights progress more.

And for the Anime, the opening and ending was pretty sick, especially the opening. I will, however, comment one a few things. First off, was Jackie really intended to be the 2nd dark skinned chick? And I could've sworn that Yukio and Jackie weren't shown until Ichigo was introduced and inducted into Xcution. However, in the anime rendition of it, it shows already Ginjo entering the premises of Xcution with the members already there. He said that Ichigo is an interesting man where as in the manga both Riruka and Kuruzawa stumbled upon Ginjo walking alone and questioned him about Ichigo. So the differences in the anime and manga are slightly different and of course a bit expanded (EX: Ichigo and Tatsuki talking about Tatsuki's job as a Sensei where Ichigo is relieved that he doesn't have to call Tatsuki "Sensei."). I am excited to see Ikumi (and her watermelons) next week and I like how Orihime is still as cute as ever. Let's hope both the manga and the anime progress faster.

Please vote on the poll if you haven't yet. Also tune in on Tuesdays to watch the new bleach episode and either Tuesday/Wednesday for the new bleach chapter to be released. Thanks again for supporting my blog :) 

Upcoming Bleach episodes

I'm so psyched for this Tuesday because the new Bleach episodes will be premiering online. At first, the manga progressed slowly, but in terms of the Anime, it will expand more on some of the things to explain and clarify more on the manga. I'm excited to see the new Orihime, the gorgeous Ikumi, and the bleach fights in anime. Don't forget the new bleach episodes will broadcast online this Tuesday. Also don't forget to vote on my poll for your favorite bleach movie. Thanks again for supporting my blog.

Ikkaku vs Moe: Man to man (manga) and Rukia's Goodbye (anime)

As you are well aware, the manga has progressively slowed down. The fight scenes are going back and forth and unfortunately, are ending abruptly than most usual Bleach fights. In just one chapter almost, the Xcution members are getting their A$$es kicked by the Shinigami Captains and Lieutenants. So far Moe, Jackie, Giriko, and even Yukio are out of the picture (although Moe and Yukio are still alive, Jackie and Giriko aren't). So far the only current fights are as followed:

1) Ichigo and Uryu vs Ginjo
2) Rukia vs Riruka
3) Byakuya vs Tsukishima

As well as the fights go, there is one particular one that I find to be not only funny, but very manly. That fight would take place between Ikkaku and Moe. Since Ikkaku realizes that it is futile to use his weapon against an opponent who can easily break it, they, man to man, use their fists to beat the $h*t out of each other. Not only was this hilarious, but did Moe think he could hurt Ikkaku? Sure he managed to do some damage and make Ikkaku bleed, but at the end, Ikkaku headbutted his A$$ and Moe is K.O. Ikkaku says he's the luckiest man alive, but to be fair....Moe stood no chance against Ikkaku from the start. With that said, that was probably the best fight scene as of now.

To be honest, the fight scenes aren't as appealing as they were before and aren't as exciting, but that doesn't mean I'd given up on Bleach just yet. Hopefully the manga progresses faster and the fight scenes will have more excitement and twists and turns.

As well as the manga, the anime has taken a turn for the better. The filler arc has just ended and the current arc (in the manga) is going to be broadcasted on anime websites. I am sorta excited to hear the voices, but I'm even more excited when I see:

1) Orihime's new look
2) Ikumi's watermelons
3) Rukia!!!!! (new look)

As well as the arc goes, the last filler arc ended sadly as Rukia disappeared in front of Ichigo. This is the first time to admit that Rukia was super cute in this episode since she was highly concerned for Ichigo and was well aware of his losing his Shinigami powers (and spiritual energy). It almost seems as if she doesn't want to part Ichigo and that she is afraid to lose him (maybe a hint of love possibly?). She waited for Ichigo after school and was even nervous to talk to him about the topic of losing his powers; indicating that she may have fallen for him, but this uncertain. I do hope the anime progresses more than the manga because as everyone knows, the anime expands on the fight scenes (EX: Uryu vs Yammy).

Make sure to keep on reading the manga and watching the anime. Don't forget also to vote on the new poll on what your favorite Bleach movie is. Thanks again for supporting my blog. As well as Bleach news: I also wish to pray for Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple, and for his family. May his legacy continue on...
