Throwback #1 (The Death Trilogy Overture: Death & The Strawberry) (Pt. I)

With any franchise, there is always a beginning and though that beginning unfolds, unlocks, and unveils something wonderful. That, my friends, is the beginning of a journey you will take alongside any franchise you follow. So I'm here to give my insight on the very first Bleach episode of the series. This premiered on Adult Swim long ago and to this day, still continues every Saturday. I don't think I need to give much of a backstory on the series, but for those of you new to Bleach - I'll give you a quick little summary, insight on its origins, and points from the first arc throughout that'll lead up to what it'll be about later on. The chance encounter with Ichigo & Rukia (or Ichiruki).

Ichigo Kurosaki is your everyday teen who can see spirits, lives with a hyperactive and ecstatic Dad, and has two younger sisters. He helps spirits pass on and be at peace (shown when he beats up a bunch of thugs for knocking over a flower vase meant for a dead little girl). Everything changed once he met Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper (or Shinigami) designated in watching over Karakura Town. However, Rukia's powers were stolen when Ichigo agreed to help her out against a Hollow. And there's the first episode - Ichigo went from seeing spirits to a full-fledged Substitute Soul Reaper. 

So I'll say that the setup of this is pretty interesting because you see Ichigo's life go from normal to being all badass and whatnot. He not only took Rukia's powers, but now Rukia has to train him to fight off Hollows and other threats to Karakura Town while balancing his family's shenanigans, his high school life, & his own personal life as a teenager. Things take a turn for the better when Ichiruki are together, but with Hollows coming about left and right, will Ichigo be able to balance everything and save the day? Well as the series progresses he does just that and even ends up meeting the very Hollow who took his mother's life (Spoiler for those who haven't gone that far). 

It shows Ichigo's determination to help someone as strange as Rukia and do whatever it takes to ensure the safety and protection of his town. Ichigo, who can see ghosts, isn't the only one in the family who can see em'. Ichigo's sister, Karin, can seem them, Yuzu, has some sort of feel that they're there, and Ichigo's dad, Isshin, can see em' (but it doesn't heavily hint at it until WAY later). Ichigo, at first, was taken back when Rukia just appeared in his room without the slightest thought if Ichigo could see her or not since normal human beings can't see/sense Shinigami/Hollows.

The comedic relief between the two and the chemistry that began with Ichiruki is a strong one as they would grow closer as partners and even perhaps in the future Captain + Lieutenant partnership. The first season is Ichigo's baby steps into this whole new world that he is sorta familiar with and how he tends to balance out everything - shouldering everything on his own, not looking back, and living day by day w/Rukia, his teacher and friend, and his everyday friends (with some even being influenced by Ichigo's spiritual awareness). The start of it all it started to sound like a everyday normal teen life changed into a badass mothafu*ka who fights monsters and protects his home from threats all alike. This is the beginning of a wonderful life for Ichigo thanks to meeting Rukia Kuchiki. Bwahahahaha look for Pt. II Throwback tomorrow. 

The Wolfpack (Grade A-)

So you guys read the latest Bleach chapter? What are your thoughts on what is happening? For me, I think the set up is gettin' good since war is upon them w/the Vandenreich. Ichigo is kickin' it now, Hisagi has a Bankai, Toshiro is practicing his swordsmanship, and a big ass Wolf creature appeared before Sajin in a cave. Something big is coming and who knows what Tite Kubo is planning next. All we know is that Shit's gonna go down with everyone. Ichigo now is a complete badass just extending his hand and getting his Asauchi. Toshiro is starting from the ground up what with his Bankai gone. Hisagi has a Bankai? Well it's to be expected and it seems like the 9th Division is the same as it was before Hisagi became Lieutenant. The man whom he respected is now his captain, but Hisagi still holds Tousen in high regard - calling out Kensei on NOT to say such things about his former captain. And now we have Mashiro kickin' ass and being super duper hyperactive as usual w/her hollow mask - punching Hisagi like hanging meat. I want to see Hisagi's Bankai cuz if u know Hisagi's Shikai does a lot damage, just imagine what that Bankai of his is capable of. And now we have the Wolfpack (Sajin and his "Lord." Who is that? Is that his master? A relative? A rival? All we know is that if Sajin and the big Wolf like creature are there, who knows how many exist. Overall, I'm liking the buildup and I look forward to seeing next week's installment of Tite Kubo's Bleach.

Grade A-

What to expect in the forthcoming Bleach chapter? +Unanswered questions

So we all know that the next Bleach chapter should be just around the corner. So it brings up the question, what do you expect to see? We now know that Uryuu is with Juha Bach (or is he?) and Ichigo now is aware of what has happened to her mother, now ready to kick some Vandenreich ass. Isshin and Masaki's past is now revealed and what of the Zero Division? What of the following Arrancars in Hueco Mundo such as Harribel, Grimmjow, and that Afro guy who got his ass beat by Chad? What of Ikumi (if she has any relevance whatsoever)? What of the Shiba clan (Do they know of Isshin being fathered to Ichigo)? What of the Fullbringers (are they ready to kick some ass)? And overall, is it an all-out war against the Vandenreich (Shinigami/Fullbringer/Arrancar/Visored vs. Vandenreich)? I'm curious, are you?

The Top 3 Giants

So a lot of Anime fans are well aware that the top 3 Shonen Jump Manga are One Piece, Bleach, & Naruto. However, speculations have arisen on which one is considered the best of the three, but I say that you can't declare one is better than the other without taking into consideration the story, characters, and overall atmosphere of the 3 combined. As such, there is a central theme in all 3.

Bleach - Soul Reapers & Secrets
Naruto - Ninjas & Friendship
One Piece - Pirates & Treasure

In my personal opinion, I think all 3 are masterpieces in their own rite, but I will say that Bleach is my favorite of the 3 next to Naruto & One Piece. I praise the artwork, storytelling, and characters (even fanservice). I enjoy Naruto for the elements of friendship and the different Jutsu they use as well as enjoying the overlapping character history. I enjoy One piece for the Nakama, Luffy's determination to kick ass, take names, and being naive as Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates as well as Nami, Nico Robin, & Boa Hancock (if you know what I mean).

I also explained my reasons for liking Bleach so I won't need to go in depth. Overall, I think all 3 are deserved of recognition and with its strengths and weaknesses, it's series will continue to thrive for many readers to enjoy.

New Layout & Everything

Whats up Bleach fans. As you can see, the blog has went through a makeover of the sorts. The latest poll is up on whether you think Bleach currently is good, bad, or so-so. I will be posting everyday on various Bleach issues. Look forward to it

Been awhile (2013 Shoutout!)

What's up everybody! I do sincerely apologize once more for my recent hiatus from the blog. Been busy with college and whatnot, but I am here once more to bring you reviews, polls, and Top Lists. I do tend to say a lot about what I'm gonna do, but this time it's 100% sure. So far, I've been caught up with Bleach and I gotta say, I'm impressed with the direction. The reveal of Masaki's fate, Juha Bach, & Uryuu allying himself with the enemy. It comes to show that it's about to go down with Shinigami, Quincy, Holow, Visored, and Fullbringers - it's a brawl that's bound to be awesome. As for the bleach poetry, I'm not quite sure if I will be posting it anytime soon - depends on you guys and girls if you want me to. Please leave a comment for any concerns.

Bleach 519: DAT ASS! -Bleach 519-

So you read the last chapter, it was confusing in part that so much was revealed. Fullbringers turn out to be helping out a buffed out Ganju, the "Uncle" scenario, & Grimmjow's return (it was him and you all know it). And now we are at this week's chapter and to my surprise, it's all about introducing Ichigo to the Zero Division, starting with Kirinji Tenjiirou, The Hot Spring Demon. The healing method was shown by Kirinji and how Urahara tried to replicate the hot spring when Ichigo and Yoruichi went into the hot spring long time ago (ahh...memories). We see that Byakuya, Renji, and even a butt-naked Rukia were being healed by Kirinji's methods. YES, we see a naked Rukia (well her butt anyway and a  fanservice title page w/Orihime - damn!) That made the chapter for me not gonna lie. Seeing a butt-naked Rukia (floating in the hot springs) and the fanservice page made me realize, Tite Kubo is giving the audience what it wants (fanservice). Think about it, all manga has some sort of fanservice one way and Bleach has a ton of it (Orihime, Nel, Rangiku to name a few). The Spirit King was also shown, but who is he really? I thought it'd be a lot more, ya'know, epic. It's just a guy waking up and being called "Spirit King-Sama." So now that Ichigo is with the Zero Division (learning of the Zero Division's towns that they look over + the King's palace), Ichigo is on his way to recovery thanks to Kirinji's healing abilities. Overall Rating:

A for ASS! (Rukia's Ass) (Awesome/Ahhhhh yeah!) (Rating pic above)

Check out the Bleach poll. There are still a week or two left before it closes. Make sure to vote. Thanks again.

Bleach Memes on 518

Here are some memes on Bleach 518.

Bleach 518 Grade: C for Confusing/Crazy!

Bleach Rating for this week: C for Confusing! 

Bleach: Y U CONFUSE ME!? -Bleach 518-

So I believe it's been a week since the last Bleach chapter was released. Zero division arrived, Ichigo is told to go with them, & a certain someone from Hueco Mundo is on the other line. So the question remains: How was this week's chapter? Overall rating, Good, but confusing as shit. Allow me to explain some things: Ichigo's sword can't be fixed, but they can forge something that'll look like it. That's 1. Ichigo & the Zero Division use Kukaku's Cannon to go to the Spirit Palace. That's 2. And 3 - Kisuke Urahara & Ichigo talked. Those were the only things I got. And now here are the confusing things

1) A certain someone (probably Grimmjow) is in the background as Ichigo & Urahara were talking. If you see on one of the pages, you can see the person's sleeve rolled up - most likely Grimmjow.

2) Kukaku brings up Ganju to help out Ichigo by training with the......Fullbringers?

3) Kukaku states that if Ichigo didn't go with 0 Division, then the Gotei 13 would likely be gone even if it means disappointing "Uncle?" (Are Ichigo & Kukaku + Ganju related? Is this some sort of conspiracy relating to Kaien Shiba on why Ichigo looks like him?)

#2 is probably the most controversial because in the last arc (felt like a filler), Ginjo, Giriko, & Tsukishima were "buried." Giriko was cut in half by Kenpachi, Tsukishima succumbed to wounds inflicted by Byakuya, & Ginjo hopelessly lost to Ichigo. So why the F are they alive and helping out the Soul Society now? I think that there return could be forced (I hope not Kubo, I hope there's an explanation to this because I'm curious on how the dead could come back to life *snap* like that). #1 is the least controversial because a lot of people say its either Grimmjow or Isshin. Now the 3rd one, does this have to do with Ichigo looking like Kaien Shiba? If it is, then okay then, but I REALLY WISHED THAT THE SPIRIT KING WAS SHOWN IN THIS CHAPTER RATHER THAN WAITING FOR ANOTHER WEEK! DAMN IT! I mean it wasn't disappointing, but it was far from awesome. It's an "okay" chapter that leaves room for interpretation (Why Fullbringers? Why Grimmjow? Why "Uncle?"). So I give this chapter a C. Here's my new rating system:

A for Awesome/Ahhhhh Yeah!
B for Badass/Ballistic
C for Crazy/Confusing
D for Dang!/Da Fuq?

Check out more Bleach chapter reviews for the next upcoming week. VOTE on the new Poll.

College Life + Updates

Well College Life has started and I've been pretty busy since then + I admit I do get a little lazy to write anything since I might not be as informative as other reviewers (I'm strictly writing down main points and adding my own personal beliefs/opinons on the chapter). For those who still keep up with my blog, I do apologize for not posting up anything new since the start of October. And as for the poll, there's been problems with my posting it on my wall for some reason.

Since then, Bleach has been getting interesting. Zero Division has revealed themselves and I was, to be honest, not at all impressed with the character designs. I thought they'd be more, ya'know, badass? Well, in the next chapter where they talked to the "Gotei," looks are to be deceiving and they aren't to be fucked with. Ichigo now is said to be tagging along with the Zero Division and a "certain someone" from Hueco Mundo is contacting him saying that everyone has assembled. That pretty much sums up this week's chapter (next week I'll try to cover it if I have the time). So what do I feel about the arc so far? Interesting considering we know nothing of Ichigo's mother and the arc looks as if it's going to go more into Urahara and Isshin's side. I want to know more about the Zero Division. The upsetting part is: If a character appears to have died, DON'T TRY TO BRING THEM BACK BECAUSE ITS ILLOGICAL! I mean Byakuya's sword shattered and he was fucked up and now you're telling me he's alive? BS! I'm sorry, but that type of logic makes no sense. Stay dead. He was a pretty kickass character, but I believe him being alive is just being forced (either on popularity or polls). Other than that, I am looking forward to Bleach every week.

The Plot...unfolds (Bleach 510: The Extinction)

The new Bleach chapter has been released quite earlier than expected and its a good thing too since a lot of us were wondering: Who is Juha Bach? Well to be precise, I read this chapter in a matter of minutes and one of my assumptions was spot on: Someone went under his appearance and alias. So the fake Juha Bach is named Loyd Royd's R and the real Juha Bach has revealed himself and has taken Captain Yamamoto's Bankai. So now, it seems that the Soul Society is in deep shit because now....Captain Yamamoto has been cut down by Juha Bach in a matter of seconds. It appears that Juha's replacement was a distraction so that the real Juha Bach can meet with Aizen Sousuke, the previous antagonist of the Bleach Arc (I do not consider Ginjo Kugo a major antagonist). So now it seems that Juha wishes to hire Aizen, but his refusal pretty much sums up that Aizen has no intention to serve under someone else, but what caught my eye was that the underground chamber located under the 1st Division building was destroyed so this could happen:

1) Aizen's refusal triggered Juha to kill him

2) Aizen along with the 1st Division building collapsed due to Juha Bach

3) Aizen joined Juha and Aizen destroyed the 1st Division building.

So now we see that Captain Yamamoto has been cut, Juha met with Aizen, and Ichigo is still trapped. What will happen next? Tune in next week for the next Bleach Chapter. Until then, see you around.

Tenchin Kaijin!

So the plot twist unfolds in this week's new Bleach. As everyone as read, the "Juha Bach" that was doing battle with Captain Yamamoto got owned....literally. I mean the antagonist was arrogant, thought he could do away with Captain Yamamoto, and in the end bring down the Soul Society. But all things came to an end when Captain Yamamoto released his Bankai and pretty much shows what he is capable of. The flames itself are so intense that even Old Man Yama can bring back the dead he's slain, burn everything to a crisp, and pretty much destroy Soul Society with his Bankai alone. This chapter marks the plot twist as I said earlier because at the very end of the chapter, "Juha Bach's" torso was pretty much gone from Yamamoto's "Zanka No Tachi North - Tenchin Kaijin." After that, "Juha Bach" pretty much said "I wasn't strong enough. I'm sorry, Juha Bach-Sama." So that means that "Juha Bach" isn't the Juha Bach we all know and thought was the main bad guy. This, in my opinion, is a forefront to something far more dangerous than anyone has ever expected. "Juha Bach", the guy who got owned could be one of the three following in my opinion

1) He's a copy of Juha Bach, but copies are not as strong as the original.

2) A messenger of Juha Bach and went under his name to convince Soul Society that he was Juha Bach

3) A replacement Juha Bach (the name itself could be a title rather than an individual name).

So I'm curious to know how this plot twist unfolds. Until then, wait til the next chapter. Sorry I wasn't able to post the poll. There's been recent problems with posting up polls + I started school. So if I don't update weekly, just know that I'll update eventually.

So far.....so very far....(Progress on Bleach Blog)

It's been awhile since I posted any Bleach lyrics and I'd like to apologize again for not posting anything recently. I've been quite busy with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and I'm starting the college life soon. I don't honestly know if I'm going to post up any Bleach lyrics any time soon, but I can say that I'll be posting up Bleach reviews (videos or posts). I'm sorry that I'm not sticking to what I usually do and am changing it up, but remember, I haven't given up on Bleach. So please look forward to future Bleach posts and I hope you can understand my situation now (though videogames aren't an actual excuse, but it's TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2). So far, Bleach is progressing nicely. Yamamoto is kicking ass in his Bankai state. Also, I'd like to apologize for not posting up the next poll - there's been problems on updating my blog. I'll try again, but for now, just wait.

Bleach 507: The Fire 3 (Review)

Bleach 507 Review: The Fire 3. Yamamoto whoops some a$$, but can Juha handle the Fire?

Bleach 505: The Fire

So in the previous chapter of Bleach, it went into a backstory of Captain Yamamoto & his former lieutenant Chojiro Sasakibe. It went into Yamamoto's scars (and describes its shape and look), what he looked like before his "grandpa" look, Chojiro's dedication to Captain Yamamoto, and even how Yamamoto got the name "Genryuusai" before it was "Eijisai" and "Juujisai" It was a backstory reliving the days that Yamamoto and Chojiro were getting along and learning of Chojiro's Bankai, which pretty much gave Yamamoto a scar. However, Driscoll Berci used Chojiro's Bankai against Captain Yamamoto to no avail thus Driscoll's face was burned. Not only was that epic, but it'll eventually lead up Yamamoto's rage against the Vandenreich.

In this chapter, Yamamoto goes rampant, his anger resonating throughout Soul Society for everyone to feel. Captain Yamamoto expressed his anger by saying "I will slay everyone." This pretty much shows that the Gotei 13 aren't going to F around anymore and that losing isn't an option. With the Vandenreich having the upper hand, the Gotei 13 has to step their game up so that they aren't seen as weaklings or disappointments to both the Soul Society and Head Captain Yamamoto. Captains throughout Soul Society get ready to strike back at the Vandenreich. The most shocking part in this chapter was Kenpachi Zaraki's defeat at the hands of Juha Bach, the leader of the Vandenreich. He went so far as to call Kenpachi Zaraki "fragile" I mean we all know Kenpachi's kicks all sorts of a$$, but DAMN, even with his eyepatch off Kenpachi didn't stand a chance against him. Then from behind Captain Yamamoto shows up and pretty much says "I'm going to kill you Juha Bach."

Tune in for the next Bleach chapter next week and for more Badassness to surface. The new Bleach poll will be up some time this week. The next Bleach lyric will be up Monday, September 3rd.

Memoirs of Bleach News + Review on Bleach 504

So as you are aware, I haven't posted any lyrics because I've been busy recently. No worries though, I still have them, but have yet to post it. Also, the last lyric, The 11th Demon is a lyric I made along with a fanmade trailer. Please feel free to browse through my lyrics and check out the fanmade trailer I made myself. I haven't done this in awhile, but I'll fill you in on my thoughts on the new Bleach chapter 504: Before the Shadows

To sum Bleach Chapter 504: Don't F with the Captain Commander. Not only is part of his past revealed (his scars), but it also shows more info on his former lieutenant's Bankai: Koko Gonryo Rikyu (translates to Brillant Yellow Shrine of the Solemn Spirit). I mean his Bankai was strong enough to leave Captain Yamamoto with a scar. Chojiro Sasakibe's dedication to his captain is without question. With his death, a new enemy and part of the Vandenreich, Driscoll Berci, took Chojiro's Bankai and used it against Captain Yamamoto, but the Captain knew very well that with the enemy having their hands on his former lieutenant's Bankai, it wasn't the same - it wasn't as powerful as Captain Yamamoto predicted when Chojiro himself used his Bankai in battle against him years ago. With this, the Captain easily burned Driscoll. DAMN, incineration from an ticked off old man is bad news for that Vandenreich member. So in conclusion, a backstory leading up the Chojiro's death and the usage of his bankai along with the history of his relationship to Captain Yamamoto. Not bad, but there's more to this that meets the eye.

The 11th Demon Trailer

Trailer to the 11th Demon (fanmade AV trailer)

Brought to you by Magame Productions & Ichigorihime1

The 11th Demon

The never-ending bloodshed
Ceases to end
The thirst for battle
Satisfying like fine wine
Quenching for stronger opponents
1 by 1 they fall
Once in a lifetime there is one man
A man of vigor
A man of guts
A man that can kick my ass and prove it
I thirst for that sensation once more
My sword shakes in anticipation of meeting that man's blade
Until that day
MY strength will cease to stop until my blade gives out
The victory
The anticipation of dying
All that aside....lies a greater gift that's been given to me
Absolute Power
Battle
The ability to stand every time Im cut
I can't die
I'm immune to pain
As long as Im alive
I live for the battles
I live for the bloodshed
I am the demon that will one day kill you......Kurosaki Ichigo!!!

Ichihime: Where is my love? (Uploaded by Yours Truly)

Shattering Blossoms

It scatters

Fades

The scent of blood

The blinding reality

Swept away by fear

Swallowed by pain

The wind picks up

....The breeze never soothes

My fear

My regret

The one thing that I couldn't live without

The shattering of my cherry blossoms

The love of my life

I've failed you and for that

I apologize

My delicate flower

Don't shatter just yet

Bloom

Rise

Live

Be a greater person than I ever was

For your sister's sake

For your friend's sake

And for my sake

Keep your cherry blossoms abloom

Mine has already been swallowed 

-Stillmattic

(I do apologize that this lyric is darker than usual. The chapter pretty much sums up that Byakuya is dead and Rukia is down, but is Byakuya REALLY dead?)

Skull King's Damnation

Death God withers

The Light conquerors 

Fading Hope

Where has it gone?

Soldiers of Death

Fall one by one

Arrows pierce 

Swords dissipate

The White shadow retaliates

The Black Skull screams in horror

The White Knight laughs in relief

The brink of death between knights and skulls

Where will the battle reach its peak? 

The Knights are merciless

The Skulls frightened

Only one hybrid can overcome the odds

The Black Moon

The Avenging Hero

The Caring Giver

The Skull King's Damnation

The savior of Skulls

Go forth and pursue something greater

-Stillmattic

The Xposure

The frightful memories that I will never forget
The monster that took away my mother's last breath
I wanted vengeance
I wanted payback
I want to put an end to this misery
Beyond all thoughts lied the truth behind my destiny
Years passes and I was half awake
One eye saw truth and the other a fake
I saw spirits of the dead, but no one else could
Is it a gift? A curse? It was something that I couldn't describe
Not only did I see them, but I helped them thrive
From helping a little girl to find its place
To meeting someone who could change my fate
A Shinigami is what they were called
Exterminating hollows
Bringing the spirits to rest
This Xposure that I wanted to follow
I aspired to protect those I love
Protect our city from these hollows
And from now on.....I shall be the hero in the shadows.

-Stillmattic

What NOT to say to a damsel in distress.

Ichigo may be the hero, but he's got a lot to learn about women....especially when it comes to Orihime.

Howling Blues Pt I

Towards the moonlight
Blinded by fright
The approaching darkness that seems to have taken its flight
Behold the power of the beast's might
No shadows in sight
It seems that the Howling Blues is about to stumble upon new heights
Quite a delight
A beautiful rite
The symphony of howls encroaches the night
Banded together they will smite
The cracked sky of the howling's right
Appeared in the darkness the Soul Society's knight
Cloaked in black & white
Listening to the Howling's tune....preparing to write...


.....To be continued

Time Reveals.....(Bleach lyric by Stillmattic)

The passing of time
The circle of rhymes
The never-ending foundation of crime
The unfolding story of 1000 different soldiers
The violence never ends
The unraveling mysteries that seem to expand
What has become of hope
It's turned into misery
What has become of sanity
A Nonfiction of reality
The time space continuum
We're at a conundrum
The only way to win
Is when time decides its done
What is fate
What is truth
The only way to find out is with the blade of truce
Can there be peace
Between two species
Or is there bound to be an aftermath of disease
The blood sheds a teardrop
Time reveals its unfortunate event.....it cannot be stopped.

The Inescapable Inevitability....(Bleach lyric by Stillmattic)

The claws of disaster
It's a unimaginable horror
Hope
Confidence
It all shatters
Once the war begins
It's already inevitable
The initiation on Souls
It's the mastermind's role
The takeover of Soul Society as a whole
Where will the future go?
How will the present cope?
When everything is inescapable, it's a never-ending scope.
The hero struggles
The arrival
Of the evil
That's unspeakable, beyond comparable.

- Stillmattic

(Pretty much sums up what I thought of the chapter)

Project Sky....(Bleach lyric by Stillmattic)

Life is a mystery
Beyond misery
Everything around is in complete symmetry
The only chemistry
Is the two birds philosophy
That a world can be saved
It's mankind's destiny
The nurturing of youths
Which path will you choose?
The melody of blues
The heaven's booze
Blowing out the circuit fuse
It's beyond reason
Tis the season
Life is precious beyond one's comprehension
The atmosphere's tension
The love birds connection
A tearful confession
The feeling of one's impression
The happy-go-lucky expression
So startled that their mind is about to in disorientation.
The strawberry Ichihime projection
The perfect couple's affection
Beyond the horizon lies the mellow heaven
A human's introspection
The start of an introduction
The good and bad expectation
The life's ascension
The unknown deception
The world is in imperfection
While evil is thriving on the fruits of condescension
The story itself is a cross-section
Of rights and wrongs
A lovebird song
Of lyrics and vibes
It's hard to describe
Of beats and bass
The great merry-go-chase
Of melodies and lullabies
The memorable goodbye
High above the blue sky
The questions of what and why
Don't let life pass you by.
Life is a place to learn and apply
Life opens up to the minds eye
The song of a war-cry
Beating down the battle-cry
Racing across the galaxy's nebula sky.
This will be the song that I play before I turn my head, smile, and cry.

-Stillmattic

(Confession Pt II will be posted up soon and a special post will be up sometime this week.) 

Perception of life.....(Bleach lyric by Stillmattik)

Life is a dangerous  adventure
Each day, each hour, a mind-blowing chapter
The day of reckoning us is beyond our reach
The evil mastermind is about to be impeached
The perception of life
The heated strife
The extraordinary extravaganza of a 1000 different knives
The attack is brutal
The force is something to be forced with, it'd only be futile
The hero is upon the horizon
A heart of determination
The mind of a lion
Ferocious, Fierce, and Frantic
Getting pull in by the mad man's antics
The scenario itself....pretty gigantic
Beyond compare
Beyond reason
The only way to win is to fight with life's season


-Stillmattic

Confessions Pt I....(Bleach lyric by Stillmattic)

Teenage Love

It's a beautiful picture

The words, the emotions, the whole damn scripture

A orange haired beauty

The hollowed beast

Bind them together, a story that never ceased

The start of a chapter

The uncontrollable laughter

The inescapable game of a lovely capture

The motivational poll of a 1000 disasters

The two bind combined

Create a whirlpool of saving mankind's nature

The orange haired duo

The perfect couple

Saving mankind from its desperate struggle

The sword and shield 

Life itself will be revealed

Cleansed and healed

The unfortunate evil is unsealed

No matter what happens

............................................time will reveal its concealing deal. 

-Stillmattic

(Pt II will be a different variation of Pt I, but nonetheless, same context: Ichihime)

The Object of Hate...(Bleach Lyric by Stillmattic)

The object of hate
The pendant of fate
I always will have the cross of faith
No one shall blind me
No one will stop me
I've become the monster of my own jubilee
The screams of terror
The cries of horror
The heart of a Lion
The place known as Zion
The roar of skulls
The world is null
The daunting shadow
A nightmare that never ends tomorrow
A grinning sliver of hope
Running with one's elope
A God of Retaliation
A devastating damnation
A horrible perception that is bound to destroy the fabric of creation

The object of hate
Are you bound by fate?
Or will your will to protect make you retaliate?
It's an incredible mistake
Never close your eyes
You're already awake.

-Stillmattic

Recent changes to Bleach Blog

So everyday, I've been posting up bleach lyrics made by yours truly. It's pretty much my definition of my love for Hip Hop + Bleach combined. The recent lyric was in favor the previous chapter. So instead of ranting on about my opinions, I'll make a short lyric on it. Keep up with the posts because everyday, there's either gonna be lyrics, videos, or possibly updates (my opinions from time to time). So for now, enjoy the recent changes to the blog posts. Also, don't forget to vote on the poll (the bottom of the page) and if you want another background, inform me please (comment me).

The inevitability of war...(Bleach Lyric by Stillmattic)

The war is inevitable
The escalation is incomparable
The balance of powers
The blooming of flowers
The sky weeping showers
The eventual devour
A creature of tremendous vigor
Make him angry, he's the trigger
A horrendous danger
The end is inescapable
Beyond comparable
Beyond reasonable
Beyond stoppable

-Stillmattic

Shadowing over the Horizon...(Bleach Lyric by Stillmattic)

Tranquility, Serenity, Peace & Prosperity

A life of laughter, joy, and hospitality

A day of normality, ordinary, beyond comprehension

The shadowing takes place just over the Horizon

4 friends band together just enjoy a little moment's relaxation

A day of refreshment

A day of rejuvenation

The day in the life of these 4 is just an occupation

There is a cooperation

No hesitation

The smile of youth is their motivation

They protect the city from devastation

From the evil that lurks behind every curtain

It's no hallucination

It's just a shadow over the horizon

Trying to destroy the fabric of peace...what a horrible illumination 

That so-called day of restitution

There's always a solution

When 4 friends band together

They lay down the foundation 

Preserving a higher being's creation

To prevent frustration

A voice in the horizon

A memorable narration 

-Stillmattic

IchiHime Confession

The God of War...(Bleach lyric by Stillmattic)

Since the beginning of time
War has existed
The spirits of the living are never uplifted
It's an unbearable burden
The atmosphere feels uncertain
A sense of hope seems to reach its final curtain
Shadows envelop the sky
Daunting Cry
A melody of good-byes
The only way to stop war is with 1 guy
His name means strawberry
He isn't ordinary
He is beyond extraordinary
He is a symbol of hope
A vision to be feared
Once the battle begins
The sky will be full of cheers
No means of moping
No means of stopping
The war begins and a hero is uprising.
The man behind the mask
A disturbing past
A mother whose lost
Where is the path?
A man of strength
A teenager that goes beyond all lengths
He fights for family and friends
The God of War's journey never ends.

-Stillmattic

The Inevitable...(Bleach Lyric by Stillmattic)

The only way out is to come out on top
Don't let the beat stop
The rain drops
The enemies gaze
It's part of an elaborate phase
The commander of Hollows
He orders them to swallow
Leave nothing behind, let them be in sorrow
Let nothing come out alive
Petty little humans, go hide in your hives
The sky darkens as evil thrives
Not until the hero shows up, to take the dive
The music plays a jazzy jive
No evil can ever strive
Just so long as the hero is alive
It is inevitable
Evil is incomparable
To the eyes of the hollow, everything is edible
However, it is not impossible
To reach the unreachable
Topple the unstoppable
Just so long as the hero is possible.

-Stillmattic

The hands of time...(Bleach Lyric made by Stillmattic)

Since the passage of time

There's no mention of peace

Only corruption and violence disturbs the notion of tranquility

There's no serenity

No opportunity

No means of trying to find stability

No signs of familiarity in the atmospheric galaxy

However there lies the blade of the fate

The enemy shrieks with hate

It's never too late

They retaliate

The hero unsheathed his sword with no hesitate

He cuts down one by one

The battle is done

The war isn't over

There's a lot to be done

Danger Zone

Pass the Death God the microphone

Let it be known that the hero is in town

Time stood still and continued forward....never backing down

The grinning oppressor 

The Skull-Faced Sword-master

Fighting to death till life gives up after

The final factor

It's a complete disaster

Peace vs Violence - who'll win this chapter?

-Lyrics by Stillmattic

Bleach, Music, & Poetry

If there's something you must know, I'm an avid Bleach fan, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's all about that. I like pursing different things in life other than aspiring to become a Bleach memoir. I do enjoy writing (novels, short stories, poetry, narratives, etc) and I also like to pursue music (writing lyrics, recording, etc).Other than my nature of writing posts about Bleach, this gives the Bleach audience or whoever viewing a chance to see another side of Stillmattic. To me, music is life and music is poetry. Bleach, in some sort of way, is poetry:

The hero dives in the evening sky
Hollows pouring out with red eyes gaze
A large sword cuts two
They disappear....only the string of a guitar sound
The piano of sorrow
The pinnacle of tomorrow
A shadow to always follow.
The Shinigami that cuts down Hollow.
No spirit is ever swallowed
There is a tomorrow...


-Stillmattic

Confessions Background

So I decided to see what would happen if I changed the background to the famous confession scene in Bleach when Orihime confessed that if she were to have 5 lives, they'd all fall in love with the same guy...Ichigo. This is my favorite scene of all time and I'd like your input on this. Let me know if you liked the other background. Enjoy your weekend.

-Stillmattic

Orihime Inoue vs Luch Heartfilia

So, let me get this straight. There are two particular beauties in both Bleach and Fairy Tail Series: The orange haired, big breasted, happy-go-lucky Orihime Inoue and the blonde haired, big breasted, and happy-go-lucky Lucy Heartfilia. I mean both are f*cking gorgeous and hot as hell (and can easily find sexy pictures of them too). So if you were to choose - who would it be? I mean they both are strong characters, have boyfriends (Ichigo and Natsu), and are the primary woman protagonist in the story. I love Bleach and Fairy Tail, but on debating which girl is hotter is impossible for me. So I'm gonna say it's a tie between both, but if you say otherwise, feel free to tell me. I will make a poll on this sometime this week or next week and on that note, enjoy the weekend

-Stillmattic

Thoughts on Live Action Bleach???

First off I'd like to say....did you know that they are making an American version of the Bleach film? The problem with that is this: Any adaptation (or some) of videogames aren't what you'd call "hits" in Hollywood. Compared to in Japan, they could probably pull it off. This is a disgrace to Bleach's name and I say cancel the project and save the embarrassment of us having to pay for it (and be suckers to see how crappy it could be). I mean it's kind of nice that they have Bleach in their thoughts, but do they understand what it could mean to a mainstream audience? I mean look at how the DBZ or Street Fighter :Legend of Chun-Li film turned out......complete and utter waste of time and effort to make a Hollywood spoof what was considered a masterpiece in the Anime business. If you have concerns about this, let me know. I for one do not want to pay tickets to see a horrible reenactment of one of my favorite Animes.

-Stillmattic

The new background

So as you can see, the background is Rukia + Ichigo together back to back, but the problem lies in the question: Does it make a good fit for the blog site? It's centered, but the actual picture isn't shown until you scroll down where there's no posts. IF you have any concerns, please don't be afraid to tell me. I might change it sometime this week, but it's still up for debate

-Stillmattic

Bleach 491 Thoughts

Well, it took me awhile to think about what I thought. The first thing that comes to mind is, who will reign victor - the quincy or badass Ichigo? I mean quincies are the enemies of the Shinigami (Death God), but are they enough to stop Ichigo, the Shinigami/Hollow/Human/Superhero? The fight is progressing and what got me at the end was the arrival of Ayon, the pet of Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun. I was like "Wait, wasn't that thing killed or cut down by Captain Yamamoto?" And "If they ripped off a part of their arm to create it, does that mean they can rejuvenate their arms or use their other arm (but they would have no arms)?" So I was like, "Ok, let's see where this goes." Bleach is up, go read it, pretty interesting.

http://mangastream.com/ or http://www.mangahere.com/

The new poll will be up sometime this week and the background might/might not stay up due to the fact that it's only shown near the end of the page.

Aftermath of the Hiatuses.

Well, hate to say it, but I've been taken too many hiatuses. Two months without posts, must've been a little too much. Well, I will say that I haven't lived up to posting daily since I've been caught up with school. All I can say is that I made some recent changes this morning to the blog such as changing the background and deleting some posts so that it fits on one page. I'd like to thank you again for staying with me despite not having posted anything since March. The recent Bleach manga has been quite interesting. Doesn't Vandenreich know they can't mess with Ichigo? I'm glad there are returning characters like Nel and Harribel (HELL YEAH!). The new Bleach hasn't been posted yet, but I've seen the spoilers. My new post is whenever the Bleach chapter comes out on:

http://www.mangahere.com/

*Actually, it just came out so expect my post to be in a couple of hours or less.*

P.S. I will try and post up things daily. If I do forget, just remember that I still have classes and other stuff. The new poll will be up sometime this week. Don't give up on Bleach and it's progressing somewhere.

Hiatus and Progression so far in Bleach

Hello everyone, as you are well aware, my last post was in January, literally two months ago. I do apologize for not posting up anything recently, been caught up with some personal stuff. Anyways, Bleach has undergone a new arc with new characters and once again, new questions. Like, Who is Ivan? Why is he a quincy when he has an arrancar mask? Who are the Vandenreich? And is this really the end of Bleach? I mean. there are still many questions left unanswered from the previous arcs (most notably the Espada, The Kurosaki family, and the remaining remnants of Ginjo's group). Hopefully this Arc is entertaining and long because Bleach's progression as of now, isn't what you'd call satisfactory. The new post is up, 22 days to vote.

3 Week Delay!

Well, as you know, I haven't been able to say much since, you know, BLEACH IS ON 3 WEEK BREAK! I mean the previous arc'sending was, no offense, unacceptable. So many questions left unanswered. Where has Riruka gone? What of Jackie and Yukio now? Where will Tsukishima and Moe go? And the question that my heads been wondering about is.....DID GINJO JUST DIE FROM ONE HIT? Even in Bankai, he was still no match for Ichigo, who was also in his new Bankai form. I mean, c'mon Tite Kubo. Not saying I'm mad or anything, but I'm not thoroughly amazed at all by what's been going on. Also, How did Rose, Shinji, and Kensei become captains? Where did the other visoreds go? Clarification? Explanation? Anything? Also what astonishes me is that, WHY DID GINJO EARLIER ASK ICHIGO ABOUT ISSHIN? I mean Isshin looked like he had a role to play, but what was it? Was it about his Shinigami days? And what of Karin? She seemed that she had an important role too! Did she just get swept aside too like Isshin and Urahara? Also, Yuzu also started to act weird towards her Onii-Chan (Ichigo). What's with her? I know I'm ranting a lot, but seriously.....THERE ARE NO EXPLANATIONS FOR CLARIFICATION! I mean I had to wait for after Christmas and New Year's and then wait another 3 weeks? UNACCEPTABLE! I do hope Bleach will progress more because I'm very disappointed in the progression and un-clarification of where it is going. The new arc starts, better ante up the explanations and fights!


P.S. This does not mean I hate bleach or have lost hope in it. It just means that I want it to progress more and to have the decency to clarify some things (mentioned above) to the Bleach fans everywhere. Please continue to support my Blog and to follow me for latest blog entries or any future suggestions for new topics.

Random Anime Thought: Character Gender Confusion

In some animes, have you ever noticed that some of the characters whom are males or females might or could not be what they appear to be? An example is Haku from the Naruto series. I mean seriously, LOOKS LIKE A CHICK RIGHT? But no, Haku is revealed to be a guy who just so happens to look like a girl (if I recall, Naruto says "she" was cuter than Sakura). I mean doesn't that piss you off? Don't you wish that those characters would just be a "she" or a "he" and not just a "mix" or an "it?" Well, I'd like to point out that in Bleach, there are characters who are male that look like they should or could be female. This might sound weird, but this is my personal opinion on these characters. It might sound odd, but there do exist characters like that. And once again, sorry for posting a day late.

HELLO NEW YEAR!

Good morning everyone out there. Sorry I haven't been able to post up any Bleach opinions since it was the Holidays and all, but here I am, in 2012, ready to get back into gear and start writing again Bleach. As you may know, Bleach wasn't released this week because they're on break. As much as that upsets me, we have to cut them some sorta slack. I mean they make magnificent (sometimes) chapters per week with beautiful artistry, memorable characters, and kick-ass attacks. Bleach (both anime and manga) will be returning January 11. As for last week's (year's) bleach chapter, I have 3 words: WTF!? I mean this is what you'd call closure when you know the story isn't honestly progressing anywhere. I mean Ginjo died really quickly. Jackie's back? How? I thought she sacrificed herself, but it seems that she miraculously came out alive with her Fullbring powers gone. But wait....IS it true that when someone loses their Fullbring that they die as well? And what of Urahara & Isshin? What are their roles? Did they have any purpose whatsoever in the arc? I mean this chapter could've done much better, but I think Tite Kubo rushed it so he can have a early Holiday. However, I am not super angry (yet). Riruka is alive! YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will she be a part of the gang now? Why was she crying when Tsukishima is no longer alive, but wait....wasn't he being carried by Moe? Even though I've been ranting on and on about this chapter, I'm still hopeful that Bleach will continue to thrive since a much longer arc will begin. Don't lose your hope yet in Bleach. Anyways, the new post was posted last week (year) on your opinion if you like the current Bleach arc. My next Bleach post will be either Friday-Saturday. 

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I'd like to apologize once again for not getting my opinion on the last chapter of Bleach anytime soon because of family, school, and other stuff. First off, the Bleach manga, I believe, is on break for the entire duration of December. Secondly, the last bleach chapter (last week) was quite astonishing. You know for the fact that Ginjo still was defeated easily and that Tsukishima was actually following Ginjo since he was still a Substitute Shinigami. Tsukishima, at first, looked like the supposed leader, but in actuality was a lost child found by Ginjo and thus the two's story began. What I'm worried about is:

1) Is Riruka just wounded or bound to die when she defended Ichigo?
2) When does Isshin and Urahara make an appearance?
3) Is this arc really going to end soon?

Well, the manga is progressing somewhere and as for the anime, same-old, same-old. Not much to talk about in terms of the Anime, but I do know this: the fights that happened in the manga will progress (hopefully) longer in the Anime rendition.

Happy Holidays everyone and look forward to a brand new year in 2012! Make sure to never lose your hope in Bleach and remember, if you have any friend you know, please feel free to share my blog and follow. Merry Christmas everyone. SEE YOU AROUND (sometime in January)

Belated Opinion on Bleach (last week's chapter and episode)

Hello there! Sorry again for not being able to post up any new material since I've been studying for finals and what not. So, last week's Bleach was....epic! I mean Ichigo's and Ginjo's fight has just begun and.....it's concluded? THAT CAN'T BE THE END OF THE FIGHT! I mean the new Bleach fights are awfully short and it comes to question: Is Tite Kubo running out of ideas or is the progression of the fights deliberately intended to be expanded when it's made into anime form? I mean I'm not losing hope just yet, but I do hope the fight will get better or be longer. Ichigo's Bankai is hella sick and I will admit that Ginjo's Bankai isn't bad either. What I want to know is:

1) What is Ginjo's Bankai called?
2) What does Zangetsu look like now?
3) Will any of the Arrancar from the previous arc make an appearance?
4) Was it the status of Riruka, Tsukishima, and Moe?

As for the Anime, it's what you'd expect. I got nothing else to say about the Anime. I do hope that the progression of Anime will be as exciting as the Manga counterpart. I will say that Jackie is pretty attractive in the Anime compared to the Manga. I do hope that both the Anime & the Manga will expand on its fights, story, and plot.

P.s. Please vote on the two polls and thanks again for supporting my blog. 

Epic Chapter!!!!! + Bleach Episode = Epicness!

Alright!!!!!!!!!!! The new Bleach was released yesterday and one word best describes this chapter: EPIC! I mean Ichigo goes Bankai and explains he was already aware of Ukitake from the beginning and the next thing you know, Ginjo goes Bankai too? ABOUT TIME are two words to describe the progression of Bleach because I admit, it was taking a little too long. But now, oh now......IT'S AN EPIC BANKAI FIGHT BETWEEN ICHIGO AND GINJO! I mean I love this chapter because of Ichigo's Bankai and it is the start of a n actual fight that may be proven to be longer than the other fights. I mean c'mon....Kenpachi easily beat Kuruzawa, Ikkaku question's Moe's life and honor, Riruka is nowhere to be seen after her encounter with Rukia, Yukio is captured by Hitsugaya, and Tsukishima is on the floor (or is he?) thanks to Byakuya's badassness (not a real word, but who cares). There are question that come to mind such as:

1) Where is Riruka after she attacked Rukia and why did Rukia suddenly faint from Riruka's attack?
2) Is Tsukishima alive or dead?
3) What will the captains do why Ichigo fights Ginjo?
4) Will Yukio ever be freed or will he trick Hitsugaya and possibly get himself killed?
5) Will Moe stick by Tsukishima's side or ally with the good guys or go alone?

Well, I can't wait for the next new Bleach chapter. As for the episode, it was just as I remembered it in the Manga. I mean, even though I read already the Manga and know already what's gonna happen, I still know what's going to happen and at the same I do not know because the Anime just loves to expand on the Manga. Anyways, the first two new polls are up so please make sure to vote. Also, make sure to catch Bleach episodes on Tuesdays and Bleach chapters on Wednesdays (Tuesday if early and Thursday if delayed). THANK GOD BLEACH IS PROGRESSING SOMEWHERE!

And the results are in...5 Way Tie, What!?

The previous previous's poll is in with the following results:

Naruto (2 votes)
One piece (2 votes)
Fairy Tail (2 votes)
FMA (2 votes)
Reborn (2 votes)

It's a 5 way tie of the favorite anime series you voted (other than bleach). Thanks again for voting and remember to check out the other two polls posted yesterday.

New Polls & Updates!

Two of the new polls have been put up: The Background Poll and the Shonen Jump girl Poll. The previous previous poll is still up for another 10 hours so if you haven't yet, please vote. Remember, the new Bleach episode is already out on: http://animeready.com/bleach-350/

The new Bleach chapter should most likely be out sometime tomorrow (Thursday if later). Hopefully, Ichigo's Bankai will be epic! You can read the new bleach chapter (depending on where it's released first) at: http://www.mangareader.net/ or http://mangastream.com

P.S. IF you haven't done so yet, if you want more Bleach posts, please follow me on my blog. Thank you again for supporting my blog and see you tomorrow.

Follow me!

Since my blog has gotten many pageviews, I'd like to express my sincere Thank Yous to those who like my blog. IF you like'd to follow me on my blog for most of your Bleach posts, then please follow me on the follow button. I'm very happy that I can express my opinion on Bleach. Again, please feel free to follow and to comment if you have any suggestions. Thank you again.

The new Rukia background!!!

Since I haven't done any adjustment to my blog, I decided that it was time to spice things up. As you know, the previous background (for those who haven't noticed) was a Blue Ichigo w/headphones wallpaper repeated down the middle. This time, I decided to add Rukia to the background and have her beautiful face repeated down the left side. I hope you enjoy the new background. If you have suggestions on how to spice up my blog, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks again.

P.s . There is no 100% yet if I want to keep this background. In fact, I'll probably create a poll if they want this background or another one to match the color scheme. So there'll probably be 2 polls tomorrow.

Belated Thanksgiving and Opinion on the Bleach Manga + Anime from last week

First off, Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I had a lot of food personally and was pretty much away from my computer, so my apologies. I'd like to recap on last week's bleach anime episode + manga chapter. First off, the episode was to be expected since it's from the manga. This week, I don't think there were any changes or expansions to the episode from the manga. Secondly, the bleach chapter last week was...shocking! I mean the badge's truth.....still trying to grasp that chapter since it was pretty helpful on why Ichigo for his badge, but it turns out that it wasn't helping him at all and rather it was restricting and watching over him from the start. I wonder what Ichigo's new bankai will look since the last words he said before the end of the manga chapter was "BANKAI!" I'm really excited to see how this chapter will be this week as well as the Bleach episode. Happy Holidays everywhere and once again, make sure to check my opinion on Wednesday (Thursday if anything). Also make sure to keep an eye out for Bleach since it came out Tuesday last week, the same day as when the Bleach episode came out. Don't forget to vote on the poll if you haven't done so. I will be adding up a new poll possibly tomorrow on Manga girls. Look forward to it. Thanks again for supporting my blog and Happy Holidays once again! 

New Bleach Chapter & Anime (11/18/11)

First off, I do apologize for being late yet again on my responses for the new Bleach chapter & episode. But I always take into account that I will truthfully post up my opinion on Wednesday or Thursday. It is true that I should have written up my responses of the Bleach chapter & episode yesterday, but you can just say I was lazy, didn't feel like writing, and extremely tired. Either way, I will always make a point to write out my responses not on the exact day of the chapter, but perhaps the next day. It gives me time to think thoroughly on whether I liked the chapter or episode or if it was deemed interesting or boring. Anyways, this is my opinion now on the new chapter & episode

First off, the episode was just as I expected: similar to the Manga. I like to point out that Jackie Tristan, although considered the most unattractive girl in the Bleach series (well in terms of face), I find her rather attractive in the Bleach anime rather than the Manga. I like the expressions on Karin & Yuzu when they saw Ichigo come back homes....priceless. I am still excited to see what awaits for the Bleach anime.

Secondly, the Manga went by really fast. What happened to Moe? What will happen to Yukio? What happened to Riruka? Well, Rukia is safe and sound and so are the others, except for Ichigo & Uryu who are still fending off Ginjo's attacks. What really perplexes me is what Ginjo said at the end of the chapter. He asks what Ichigo is really fighting for and points out to him on who he should really should be fighting. I am curious to know the progression of Bleach and see what will happen to the characters: especially Rukia.

Thanks again for supporting my blog and make sure to vote on the new poll (ends November 30). Make sure to read the new Bleach chapter on Wednesdays (Tuesday earlier and Thursday late) and the Bleach episode on Tuesdays. Have a great Thanksgiving & Have a great weekend everyone! :)

The long anticipated opinion on Anime + Manga!!!

Goooooood Morning out there. It is currently 7:48 here and as I promised, I would post up my honest opinion on the new Bleach chapter + Anime. Fro starters, I'd like to apologize for my delaying of this post because I've been caught up with many things. Well, let's start off the day with my thoughts on the Bleach chapter + Anime.

First off, the Anime completely expanded from the Manga. A few instances include:

1) Riruka following Ichigo at school while dragging Jackie along
2) More of Ichigo's footage for the soccer team
3) Tsukishima randomly attacking a hollow/spirit.

I like how they expanded on the Manga and although some of the footage is highly unlikely to even be in the episode or the Manga, I believe it's a good edition for the episode because, to be honest, the Manga took like 1-3 minutes to read. I hope to see more of the Anime expanding from the Manga. And of course, Riruka's expression & behavior towards Ichigo is....priceless. To be honest, Jackie is somewhat cute in the Anime & is the second (I think) dark-skinned woman in the series (first being Yoruichi). I'm interested to see next week's episode, but at the same time....the whole Mr. Porky thing, I didn't like much,. I mean I know it's for training and all, but could've Ichigo had a more, I don't know, a better opponent? Well, it's been done and I'mcurious to know what happens next week.

Secondly, the Manga was kick ass! I mean Byakuya, we all know, is a badass Captain. Furthermore, did Tsukishima really think that Byakuya was weak against him? Byakuya has many tricks up his sleeve and it's going to take a lot more than Tsukishima's "Book of End" to stop him. Heck, even Ichigo did more damage to Byakuya. Now the next question is, is Tsukishima really defeated or is he going to stand back up and continue  fighting? Well, he was impaled by Byakuya's sudden tactic & now, he is severely wounded from the attack. As for Rukia, what happened?????????? I want to know why she fainted and what has happened to Riruka. Anyways, it's a cliffhanger!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just have to wait to see whether or not Rukia's okay and if the fight between Byakuya & Tsukushima is actually over. This chapter, in my opinion, was pretty sick and although it was only one fight: it pulled me in (meaning it interested me).


Thanks again for supporting my blog and please make sure to vote on the recent poll on your favorite Shonen Jump series other than just Bleach. Remember, Bleach Manga is released on Wednesdays (Thursdays by late or Tuesdays by early) & the episodes are released subbed on Tuesdays online.

Delay on Manga + Anime Opnion

I'd like to apologize again for not recently posting anything on the new Bleach Manga + Anime. Let's just say I've been caught up with homework, family, and other responsibilities. I will try and post up my honest opinion either by tonight or tomorrow morning at best. I once again like to sincerely apologize for now being able to post up my opinion sooner. Thank you again for supporting my blog and its polls and await for my honest opinion tonight (tomorrow morning at best).

New Innovations + Thoughts on Manga & Anime

First off, I added a new background & a new template for my blog. I hope you enjoy the new look of the blog. Took me awhile to figure out what is best suited for the blog, but nonetheless, I found the perfect background & my favorite color scheme. I also added the new poll a few days ago and it will available to vote by November 30. Please make sure to vote and as always, I will tally up the results of the Blog.

Secondly, I am now curious to know the direction for Bleach. For starters, it was a flashback/origins chapter and a lot of dialogue than usual. There wasn't that much fighting, but this chapter makes up for it by explaining more about the character's back-story & explaining their lives as Fullbringers w/the help of Ginjo and Tsukishima. I will admit that although it's progressing slowly, I think that this chapter is essential to understanding our enemies better (although you can't really determine if they really are that bad). The more suspenseful a chapter is, the more a reader is curious to know what happens next and this chapter is no exception. I'm curious to know what will happen in the future chapters to come and what will become of fights between:

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

I also noticed that Rukia seems to be hurt from Riruka's previous attack and from the looks of Riruka, it also looks as if she grew weaker when she initiated her attack on Rukia. It also seems that next week's chapter will be on the Tsukishima-Byakuya fight, which I am even more curious to see.

And thirdly, the Anime is just what I expected. The explanation of the Fullbringers and their ability to Ichigo is exactly how I read it in the manga. And once again, Riruka's expression when she first saw Ichigo....priceless. I am curious to know the direction of the Anime compared to the Manga.

And the results are in...

Well, it seems that the latest poll states that 4 people are curious to know how each Bleach fight in the manga goes about. To be honest, I am too, but not super excited. It's not as interesting as the fights with the Espada, but with Tite Kubo, you can never tell what's going to happen. So the fights are as followed:

1) Ginjo vs Ichigo & Uryu
2) Riruka vs Rukia (doll-form)
3) Tsukishima vs Byakuya

But let me ask, whatever happened to Yukio & Moe? I mean they were defeated easily by Hitsugaya & Ikkaku, but you don't know what happened to them. Yukio is frozen in place and has made a deal with Hitsugaya and Moe is considering whether Ikkaku's words about his loyalty to Tsukishima is really worth it. Well, I do hope they elaborate more on this. Furthermore, I am curious to know whether or not Xcution is enough for the Shinigami.

Tomorrow (hopefully), the new chapter is being released on Mangastream (Mangareader sometimes earlier or later) and the new Bleach episode has been released on Animeready. I will post up my honest thoughts of the two by tomorrow (Thursday by the latest). Thanks again for supporting my blog and I will post up the new poll in just a minute.

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...

Favorite Pairings in Bleach (unofficial)

As you are well aware, Bleach has a lot of pairings in terms of couples. I, for one, have much to say about the couples, but I'd very much like to share who my favorite couples (doesn't necessarily need to be in a relationship) are in Bleach. This is an unofficial order so this is strictly my opinion. I do hope you enjoy my top 10 favorite couples and once again, this is my opinion and mine alone. Thank you for supporting my blog.

Favorite (no order) Captains of Bleach

The Gotei 13 are the strongest Shinigami captains to have ever lived. I mean there abilities were truly unique and well, you could say that they have become a key component in Ichigo's life. From new captains to old ones, there strength and courage have never left them. I will personally give you my top 10 favorite Shinigami captains in no particular order.

Renji vs Jackie (Conclusion) and Hitsugaya vs Yukio (Conclusion) - Futility

First of all, these fight scenes in the manga ended too soon. I mean wow! Just one chapter and two members of the Xcution are dead. This arc is progressing rather slowly compared to the other Bleach arcs. I mean I don't hate this arc, but I mean the bad guys are dying off easily. Well it's not like there any match for the Gotei 13. Jackie could've lived, but she sacrificed herself in the end. As for Hitsugaya and Yukio fight, it was due to Yukio's carelessness that cost him dearly. Now the only remaining fights are:

1) Ichigo and Uryu vs Ginjo
2) Rukia vs Riruka
3) Byakuya vs Tsukishima
4) Ikkaku vs Moe.

Well I do hope this progresses more because right now, I find the fight scenes to be uninteresting compared to when the Gotei 13 fought the Espada. Well I'm not losing hope because after all....Bleach is still my favorite. Remember to vote on the poll if you haven't. I will put up a new poll ASAP. 

Nozomi Kujo......Disappears? Why why and why?

I haven't been on update on Bleach filler Arc anime episodes, but to be honest, I got tired of it. It's only recently that I began to put the piece together and realize what the antagonist's true objective was and to be frank, it's not  as interesting as I thought. When I saw bits and pieces of the new episode (released today), I saw Nozomi Kujo disappear right before my eyes. I said three things: WTF, Why, and Really? I mean she was cute and I had much respect for whenever she blushed around Ichigo, but now she's gone? That to me was BS because she could'be lived a normal life with Ichigo and his friends, but her life was too short as Ichigo managed to stop the antagonist's plans. I mean she was a perfect candidate for Ichigo's Harem (Orihime, Nelliel, and even the disappearing Senna from the 1st movie). Now.....that's hard to say. I loved her in terms of looks, but she was a mod soul to begin with. To be honest, her disappearing made me angry and I said out loud: BS. Well, though she's gone now, she'll remain in our hearts and in our minds. This is a spoiler for those of you who haven't watched yet, but I still prefer the manga over the anime any day. Just wanted to convey my feelings on.....*sniff sniff*  Nozomi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Kon would say that).

Remember the new bleach manga chapter should be released tomorrow (Wednesday) and the new bleach arc (current manga arc) will start on episode 343 with new opening and ending. Remember to also vote on the poll if you haven't done so. Thank you for supporting my blog :) 

Favorite Bleach movies (In order)

All Bleach movies (4 as of now) are all good, but to be honest, I have different opinions on them. Now I've watched them all, but I want to give my honest favorites (in order) of the Bleach movies. I'll provide detail on why as well. Hope you enjoy and remember, this is my opinion only.

1) Bleach: Fade to Black
This movie in particular deals with one of my favorite characters: Rukia. Her past is revealed and not only that, she's the primary antagonist for this one. I love Rukia's and Ichigo's bond and how Ichigo is going as far as to save her (twice now). Ichigo and his friends must venture through the Soul Society to rescue Rukia from her past once again. And this is the only feature film with Kisuke Urahara having a pivotal and influential role, returning in his captain's haori and fighting for the Soul Society once more. His connection and influence on Rukia is why he had returned. Basically, it's Rukia and this movie is all about her: her past, her relationship with Ichigo, and to be honest....her cuteness (even when she turned bad....still looks cute).

2) Bleach: Diamond Dust Rebellion
This movie in particular deals with the relationship of Hitsugaya and his best friend, Kojiro. And to be honest, what interest me more than their old friendship was Hitsugaya's past and his past/friendship with his lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto. Now to be fair, I love this movie only because of Hitsugaya X Rangiku. Rangiku shows much concern for her captain and to be honest, I love her devotion to her captain (since she inspired him to join Gotei 13). And what's more...Ikkaku reveals his Bankai to Hitsugaya for the first time and that, to me, is kick ass.

3) Bleach: Hell Chapter
Now this movie is the only Bleach movie that just starts right away in the blink of an eye. I love Hollow Ichigo and his bad ass-ness (not a real word, but it will do) and how Ichigo deals with Yuzu, his precious sister. I've never seen him so cry so much over Yuzu and this comes to show his love, concern, and care for her well being (as well as Karin's). Of course his uncontrollable rage is what got Yuzu into that sticky situation, but nonetheless, Ichigo saved her. However, two particular things caught my attention. For those of you who haven't seen it (THIS IS A BIG SPOILER): This is the ONLY movie where Ichigo and Orihime hug (where Orihime embraces Ichigo from behind telling him to come back). I love this scene so much, but not as much as seeing the second scene, Rukia's near nakedness (covered in molten fire, but looks naked). I mean....DAMN! I can say so much about the hug scene and the near naked scene, but I'm just going to leave it at that. Good movie, but too fast paced.


4) Bleach: Memories of Nobody
First of all, I love Senna. Secondly, I loved (past tense) this movie, until I saw the other 3. I loved it for the simple reason of Ichigo and Senna. I mean....Senna fell in love with the dude and sacrificed her life as a result. I mean if Bleach was a harem, it would be Ichigo being fought over by Orihime, Nelliel, Senna, Nozomi, and possibly Tatsuki. The relationship between the two was comical and yet sweet at the same time because they've grown attached to one another to the point where Senna dies and Ichigo refuses to let her. However, though sad endings come and go, Ichigo did show his bad ass side by saving Senna from The Dark Ones. Overall, sad ending, but good story telling and I love the pair.

Don't forget to vote on poll if you haven't.  Thanks for supporting my blog :)

Favorite (no order) characters of Bleach

Bleach has a wide variety of characters, but there are only so many that you could like and not like. I'd personally like to share my top 25 favorite no-order characters of Bleach. There should be an even match of boys and girls (though I suspect there's more women than men).

1) Kenpachi Zaraki
2) Orihime Inoue
3) Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
4) Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck
5) Ikkaku Madarame
6) Rukia Kuchiki
7) Toshiro Hitsugaya
8) Yoruichi Shihoin
9) Hollow Ichigo
10) Momo Hinamori
11) Byakuya Kuchiki
12) Tier Harribel
13) Coyote Starrk
14) Rangiku Matsumoto
15) Shuhei Hisagi
16) Emilou Apacci
17) Shunsui Kyoraku
18) Lisa Yadomaru
19) Kaname Tosen
20) Tatsuki Arisawa
21) Gin Ichimaru
22) Nozomi Kujo (filler)
23) Baraggan Louisenbairn
24) Senna (Movie)
25) Sui-Feng

Grinning InTiMiDaToR

Ginjo Kugo, at first, was introduced as a strange-threat to Ichigo, ally, and in the end....the antagonist. That, in my opinion, was no surprise since Ichigo barely knew him and most likely Kugo used him. He wanted Ichigo to unlock his fullbring so that Ginjo could steal it away from him. And what's worse is now he is fueled with Ichigo's fullbring AND is revealed to be the first substitute Shinigami. And now, it seems that both Substitute Shinigami will engage in battle (alongside Uryu who joined Ichigo). Now I must admit the name Xcution sounds pretty legit, but Ginjo's motives were what you'd call....predictable. Hopefully, the battle between Ichigo Kurosaki + Uryu Ishida and Ginjo Kugo will be a battle to remember (much like Ichigo vs Kenpachi, Ichigo vs Byakuya, Uryu vs.Mayuri, and Uryu vs Szayel). 

Remember to vote on the new poll before the deadline (7 days). 

And remember to catch the manga releases on Wednesdays (Thursday late by best) and the anime filler (Tuesdays)

Also, the new Bleach arc will begin soon...can't wait. 

Rukia vs Riruka:Girly Dilema

First off, both girls are pretty cute. Of course, though, Rukia wins by default. However, Riruka seems to be catching my eye (if only slightly). She denied all claims of ever wanting Ichigo's fullbring and when she received them, she had a pretty cute look in her eye as she held herself. In the battle, the two females engaged in combat. Comically, Rukia is surrounded by Riruka's dolls. Riruka decided whether to shoot or not and comments that the battle is just too easy. To be frank, Rukia can do so much better than that. Secondly, I would NOT be surprised if Riruka defected from Xcution to ally with Ichigo. I mean it makes so much sense. Riruka sees Ichigo (1). Riruka thinks Ichigo's cute/hot (2). Riruka explains that her fullbring allows her to mark anything she likes (like Ichigo - 3), and her unwillingness to accept Ichigo's fullbring power manifestation (4). I mean she is likely the next girl to fall for Ichigo (next to Orihime, Nel, and possibly Nozomi Kujo and Senna). Hope the girl fight progresses more in the upcoming chapters ahead.

Renji vs Jackie and Ikkaku vs Moe (Clash of Shinigami & Xcution) Pt 1

Well, to be honest, the new chapter was just ok. I mean I was looking forward to Byakuya's and Ichigo's fight with Ginjo and Tsukishima, but other fights were also in order and this time it was mainly focused on Ikkaku vs Moe (which lasted for like 2-3 pages with barely any action) and Renji vs Jackie (which Jackie has no chance whatsoever). First off, why does Moe think he can beat the crap out of Ikkaku? That's comical in my opinion. Ikkaku is one of the most bad ass characters in the series and one guy shouldn't be much of a threat since Ikkaku survived against worse (such as Kenpachi and Ichigo). Secondly, Jackie's ability kinda is lame and I mean to think she overwhelmed Renji? That's even more laughable than Ikkaku vs Moe. I mean Jackie has yet to learn that Renji survived against Aizen and lived. He's been training all this time and yet his enemy foolishly underestimated him. So now it's come to the following questions: who will win the next fights and will next week's chapter be a continuation of this one or a whole new fight (such as Rukia vs Riruka)? Well hope Bleach will progress a little more. And as for the anime, I can't wait to see the adaptation of the manga (such as Orihime's hotness and Ikumi's watermelons)!

Progression of Bleach (As of now)

First off, I'd like to apologize for taking too many hiatuses. Let's just say that I've been caught up with many things. Now, I would like to express my thoughts and opinions on the new Bleach manga as of now. Secondly, ICHIGO IS A BEAST! I mean he has his Shinigami powers back after all and what's more....he seems to be more powerful than ever. Thirdly, KENPACHI ZARAKI IS ALSO A BEAST!. I mean DAMN. For those of you who haven't read, Kenpachi killed the butler man (Kutsuzawa) with just one swing. Fourthly, Rukia is cute as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean I love her (next to Orihime). And finally, the bleach manga is progressing faster than ever and I hope to see more. Can't wait for the new releases.

Rukia's new (and cute) look: The rescuee becomes the rescuer.

Okay, well the last chapter just blew my f'ing mind!  I mean, DAMN! Ichigo now has his Shinigami powers back thanks to the newly looked and cute (and now) Lieutenant of the 13th division, Rukia Kuchiki. At first I wasn't fond of her (not saying I liked her as much as Orihime), but now......She is cute!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean the bond that the two share is inseparable and Rukia, now being a lieutenant is saving Ichigo from trouble (like how Ichigo saved Rukia, but the roles have switched). I absolutely love the new Rukia and I hope Tite Kubo will not disappoint. I will be posting up a new poll asking "Do you think the new Rukia is fine/cute? Thanks again for voting on the previous poll. For now, Bleach is progressing just nicely. Next week there's no Bleach, but hey.....true artists must take rests from time and time to perfect the masterpiece known as Bleach. Now.....Ginjo and Tsukishima must face Ichigo's and Rukia's (and possibly Isshin's and Urahara's) wrath!
