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.

Favorite (no order) Captains of Bleach

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

3) Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
4) Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck
5) Ikkaku Madarame
6) Rukia Kuchiki
7) Toshiro Hitsugaya

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!

Ichigo X Orihime (couple)
Ichigo X Rukia (Captain and Lieutenant/friends)

The Betrayal!? Ginjo's sudden backfire and Ichigo's struggle!

Well Well Well, it seems that the Bleach manga truly is....progressing unexpectedly. For those who have yet to read the recent chapter, refrain from reading this post because it will include many spoilers. So we have Ginjo, a supposed ally of Ichigo, suddenly working against Ichigo as he pierced him. So this leaves me with two questions: What will Ichigo and Uryu do now that Ginjo and Tsukishima are the supposed enemy? And the WHO THE HELL WAS THAT SHINIGAMI THAT URAHARA AND ISSHIN WERE SPEAKING WITH? So you see, the progression is in the middle - a bit slow, but still there's action. I want to know why Ginjo betrayed Ichigo. If it really is to steal Ichigo's fullbring, then I'm going to say: "Should've known!" But you know, the story does work (in a way) and we will see Ichigo (now human) encounter the dangers of his life as he has no Shinigami or Hollow powers try and survive. Till then........keep on reading the Bleach chapters and don't lose hope.

 There's a maximum of 22 hours to vote on the poll on favorite Bleach arc (multiple answers). Thank you for your contribution. It's very much appreciated! Remember: Ichigo X Orihime

Ichigo and Negi: Protagonists of their stories

As you are well aware, I am a bleach fanatic. I like to take the time and explore other animes that are out there other than Bleach. Fans know that the top three mangas/anime series is Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. This, however, doesn't change the fact that Bleach is still and probably will always be my favorite. I thoroughly enjoy the series since its premiere on Adult Swim years ago and the manga is just fascinating to read because of the story and the artwork by Tite Kubo. If I could, I'd shake hands with Tite Kubo. However, as the manga progresses rather slowly, some are rather losing interest. I for one say do not lose hope because we all know that Tite Kubo is setting up something far more imaginable, incredible, and thrilling for Bleach in the upcoming chapters. I would now, briefly, like to tell you my favorite series next to Bleach and that is Mahou Sensei Negima (author of Love Hina). Call it a harem or romance or comedy or magic (action) packed, it's borderline awesome in my opinion. I mean a 10 year being exploited to that many women.....how more lucky can a p.i.m.p 10 year old get (just kidding). Well, he is right now struggling to fight against the forces of evil and right now, his allies are fighting alongside him. This kinda reminds me of Ichigo, when in doubt, he always has someone to fight alongside him such as Chad, Inoue, Uryu, Renji, Rukia, etc. Hopefully, both Ichigo of Bleach and Negi of Negima will overcome their troubles, defeat the enemy, and bring peace to their worlds before havoc breaks loose.

The Unlikely Bout: Ichigo vs Chad and Orihime.

Whoa whoa whoa, in the past couple of Bleach chapters, our hero is seen fighting against his two best friends, Chad and Orihime. How did it come to this? Well for starters, Tsukishima's abilities are far more dangerous that anyone could've imagined. And as a result, his "presence" has been inputted into the lives of Ichigo's life. Ichigo now faces off against Chad and Inoue, who are overwhelmingly concerned for Ichigo and why he has turned against them (despite the fact that Ichigo is only after Tsukishima and Tsukishima's abilities made it so Ichigo has no other choice but to fight his friends). Hopefully, Tsukishima will be taken down quickly, the misunderstandings come to an end, the unknown Shinigami unveils it's self, and Ichigo can save the day and recover his lost powers.

Update on Bleach (7/21/11)

Once again, I would like to take the time and apologize for not updating my blog as I said I've had. Been many things (not going to explain them). I would right now to take the time and go about my opinion on the recent chapters of Tite Kubo's famous manga, Bleach. So it seems Ichigo is at an impasse....facing his opponent while at the same time facing off against his friends, Sado and Inoue. What's worse is in the last chapter (spoiler alert for those who have yet to read), Ginjo was impaled by Tsukishima's blade. Shat will become of Ichigo now that he's all alone? Ginjo (presumably dead or not) being impaled is severely injured and his friends have all turned against him. The last thing you see (spoiler alert again) is that Ishida was out of the hospital running off somewhere, but where? That's it for now.....hopefully bleach will progress more and unanswered questions will be answered.

The chick magnet: Ichigo Kurosaki and his many "girl friends"

Well, as I said many times, Nozomi Kujo is cute. She just announced herself as the first ever Mod Soul in existence and I was like "Say what?" To be truthful, I think our Hero, Ichigo Kurosaki, is a chick magnet. I mean think about it. Orihime loves Ichigo (Human X Human). Nel loves Ichigo (Arrancar X Human). Senna likes/has fallen for Ichigo (Shinenju/Memory Rosary X Human). And now Nozomi likes/has fallen for Ichigo (Mod Soul X Human). Damn Ichigo, he's a p-i.m.p. Well she clearly cares for Ichigo's safety and even blushed upon his sudden return. Hopefully, Nozomi's like may even turn into a possible love for our Hero. Tune in for the anime to find out more.

(This does not change me opinion on Ichigo X Orihime)

Update on Bleach

First off, I would like to apologize in advance for my month's hiatus, but here I am ready to write daily updates on Tite Kubo's famous manga publication, Bleach. So far in Tite Kubo's manga, there seems to be many things that I'd like to know and many questions left unanswered. What will become of the fate of Ichigo's friends? Who was the Shinigami who appeared before Kisuke Urahara and Isshin Kurosaki? What is the antagonist's true motives and actual power? Who knows, but we do know that Tite Kubo isn't just going to leave his fans hanging. No....knowing him, there'll be a twist to it all. As I said, I apologize in advance for not being able to update he blog. I would like to thank you for voting on the last two polls. Your contribution to my blog is very much appreciated. Since I'm starting again, first things first: I am going to update the poll votes and will update new polls later. Thanks again and be sure to check out my blog for daily updates on Bleach. 

Ichigo vs Ginjo: A battle of restoration

So far in the Bleach manga, Ginjo is shown to be sparring with Ichigo in mastering his fullbring. However, it would also seem that Ginjo is ruthless as he deliberately cut Ichigo's eyes and temporarily blinded him. He even prevented Orihime Inoue from assisting the wounded Ichigo. Despite Ichigo's efforts, it seems that the die was cast. Ginjo was beating him to a pulp and even managed to punch and impale Ichigo with ease. Ichigo's determination however was finally realized as Ginjo was threatening to kill Chad and Orihime since Ichigo did NOT consider Ginjo neither a friend or comrade. However, Ichigo went (in my opinion) berserk and managed to (somehow) unlock his fullbring thanks to Ginjo. He stabilized Ichigo's fullbrintg before it would go berserk and consume his life. So far, Ichigo has completed his fullbring and the next question is....will Ichigo ally himself with Ginjo in Xcution or does he still not entirely trust Ginjo and his gang? Hopefully, Tite Kubo will fill in the answers as the manga continues to thrive.

Progression between Ichigo and Nozomi

Nozomi Kujo has fallen for Ichigo Kurosaki. The proof is Nozomi's nervousness and turning red whenever she's near Ichigo Kurosaki. This astonishing new development in the Bleach filler arc is progressing rather quickly than I expected. Think about it....Ichigo is the prince and Nozomi is the damsel. It's likely that the damsel fell for the prince after she was saved from the beast (Kageroza and Reigai). And I just watched the latest new bleach filler arc and Nozomi is more open to Ichigo. She renewed some of Ichigo's spirit energy, is shy around him whenever he speaks, and even said to Ichigo before going off to Soul Society and I quote: "Come back" I am starting to love this new development, but this doesn't change my opinion of Ichigo X Orihime.

Ichigo X Orihime and Ichigo X Nozomi.....which will you choose?
or could it be Ichigo X Nel and Ichigo X Senna? Or to add.....Ichigo X Riruka....nah it couldn't be......or could it?

Gotei 13 Invasion Arc Opinion

So far, the new Bleach filler arc (Anime) is progressing slowly, but I'm liking the story, especially the fact that there's a little romance brewing up as Nozomi Kujo, the damsel in distress, has maybe.maybe not have fallen for our hero, Ichigo Kurosaki. It seems that the antagonist in this one is one of the 12th division's members, Inaba Kageroza. He, just like any villain, wants the complete destruction of the Soul Society and the Human World. By doing so, he has made an army of Reigai, or replicas of others with same exact abilities, but are more assertive and aggressive than their original counterparts. The question is: Are the originals enough to beat their counterparts? Can anyone be trusted? Will Nozomi Kujo fall in love with Ichigo Kurosaki? And most importantly....will this Bleach arc truly be more excitable than the Bount and New Captain arc? So far, from what I've seems it looks like it. Nozomi Kujo X Ichigo, but Ichigo X Orihime 100%

A new possible crush: Nozomi X Ichigo?

As seen in the previous Bleach filler arc episode, Nozomi thought it would be best to hide from everyone and to conceal her presence so that her protectors and her enemies would be unaware of her whereabouts. However, the enemy found her and tried to take her away by force. Luckily, Ichigo has sworn to protect her because that's not what everyone wants, but it's what he wants as well. This causes Nozomi to reconsider as Ichigo asked her "Don't go anywhere, got that?" (paraphrasing). Nozomi says Yes and her answer just comes to show that she'll trust Ichigo and it may even hint........she may have fallen for Ichigo. She was hesitant at first, but she went along. And to further the speculation that she may have fallen for Ichigo, in the preview of the next bleach episode (comes out every Tuesday), she is seen blushing. That may be an indication of something and hopefully, Nozomi will have fallen for Ichigo, though this does not change my opinion of Ichigo X Orihime.

Yoshi (Bount)

In the Bleach Anime filler arc, a very masculine and power-mad woman named Yoshi is introduced. She works alongside the Bounts and just like any antagonist in bleach, they want one thing: power. She is, in my honest opinion, NOWHERE as hot as any of the other Bleach girls, but I would say she's a bit cute. I mean she has nothing to offer in terms of body, but in terms of skills....she has it. She's skilled with her Doll, Nieder, and is skilled in martial arts. When fighting Uryu, I think she had the advantage at first, but it would later turn against her. You could say, kinda, that her love for fighting and for power is somewhat similar to Kenpachi Zaraki. As far as things go, she was an "Ok" character, but still the Bount arc is my least favorite Bleach filler arc.

Ichigo's Lady Boss: Ikumi Unagiya

Introduced in the new Bleach manga, Ikumi Unagiya is Ichigo's Lady Boss. She works a variety of Odd Jobs and has hired Ichigo to work for her, but unfortunately Ichigo does not live up to her expectations and reprimands him every time, even to the point of visiting Ichigo at school. When I first saw this person, I thought it was just some guy who hired Ichigo, but no. Want to know how I knew it was a "she" and not a he? She has you-know-whats and their big to be exact. She's a single mother who has a son who dislikes Ichigo and ever since the events revolving around Ichigo and Ginjo have intensified, she's very concerned about Ichigo's wellbeing and wishes to help him. Even though she doesn't show it, Ikumi does care for Ichigo as if Ichigo were like a kid and she's the adult who'll help him out. She is one of the few female manga characters that, to be honest, I've somewhat had an eye on. Hopefully she'll have more of a pivotal role in the upcoming Bleach manga chapters.

The Caring and Loving wife of Nobility: Hisana Kuchiki

Hisana Kuchiki, Byakuya's wife and Rukia's sister, was a sickly woman who cared very much about Byakuya and was concerned for the wellbeing of the sister she left behind, Rukia Kuchiki. She looks exactly like Rukia, but the main difference is that her hair is a big longer and frayed. She was kind, thoughtful, caring, and a loving woman. The reason why she left Rukia is because she felt that she wasn't prepared to be her sister and shouldn't be regarded as her sister and ever since....has felt guilty about deserting her. Moments before Hisana passes away from poor health, Hisana tells her husband, Byakuya, to take care of Rukia (in which Byakuya soon adopts Rukia into the Kuchiki family). It is because of Hisana that Byakuya now protects Rukia, cares for her, and will risk anything to protect her as Hisana's last wish.

Byakuya Kuchiki X Hisana Kuchiki.....forever

Momo Hinamori: The Lost Shinigami

Lieutenant of the 5th Division, Momo Hinamori, is childhood friends with Toshiro Hitsugaya, now captain of the 10th division. She initially joined the Gotei 13 just so she could follow her captain, Aizen Sousuke, who later would betray the Soul Society and leave his lieutenant for dead. She is close friends with Renji, Rangiku, and Kira, but not as close as she is with Toshiro (whom Hitsugaya always reprimands her because he is in actuality a captain). Ever since the defection of Momo Hinamori, she suspects that is was possibly Gin Ichimaru's doing, but we all know (SPOILER) that Gin only allied himself with Aizen just so he can find the chance to gain his trust and to kill him for trying to hurt Gin's childhood friend, Rangiku Matsumoto. Since then, she has grown paranoid and it is unknown on her current condition. The last we saw Momo Hinamori was when Hitsugaya looked as if he impaled Aizen, but it was actually Momo Hinamori; sending Toshiro Hitsugaya in a furious rage. Her fate and her current condition may be unknown, but nothing will change the fact that Momo Hinamori truly does care for Hitsugaya Toshiro and that is probably one of the many reasons why she joined the Gotei 13, to become strong to protect the ones he cares for. Hopefully, in the Manga, Momo Hinamori will finally be recuperated and possibly, this may be right/wrong, could become a member of the 10th division under Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Hitsugaya Toshiro X Momo Hinamori - A friendship and relationship that'll last.....forever.

And the winners are.....a Tie!

The 2nd Bleach Girls poll was intense. Back to back, neck, and neck, the votes were closing in one that one girl. However, as a result, two girls were tied with 5 votes and if there is a tie within the polls, then both are automatically the winner or winners. The two lucky women who were voted Bleach cutest girls Part 2 are.........Hinamori Momo and Hisana Kuchiki.


Thank You again for voting everyone. The new poll is now up. Which Kenpachi Zaraki fight do you like best?

Nozomi Kujo Pt II

So far, as the Bleach filler arc continues, Nozomi has caught my eye. Not only is she beautiful in appearance, but she is....lost. Every time someone is to help her, she refuses help, even from her fellow Shinigami. Not much is known about her except that she's closely being guarded by Ichigo and the gang. The humorous thing about Nozomi is her relationship with Kon. As mentioned in Part I, she finds him to be rather perverted, a jerk, and a nuisance. She, above all else, does not want anyone to interfere in her life, whether she's in danger or not. However, now that the main antagonist has revealed himself, Nozomi can't stop to wonder whether she should reconsider the help or to handle the situation herself. So far....she's trying to do things by herself, despite Ichigo and his friend's worries. Surprisingly, Kon always finds her. However, Nozomi, in my opinion, would be  a suitable candidate for Ichigo (does not change my opinion about Ichigo and Orihime). They're both teenagers, Shinigami, but the main difference is one is lost and the other is not.

Ichigo and Nozomi?
Ichigo and Orihime?
Ichigo and Nel?

These three girls, in my opinion, are the ones who are attached to Ichigo. Although Nozomi hasn't properly thanked him, hopefully she'll become to understand Ichigo and possibly may even fall for him later on this arc. For now, she has the face of a lost girl.

Lilynette Gingerback: Stark's half

Now here's a Arrancar that reveals a lot of herself......literally. Just look at her outfit and you know that she's a damn fine woman. She's the complete opposite of her other half, Stark. While Stark is sleep, lazy, and uncooperative, Lilynette is hyperactive, fun, and enthusiastic. Her first appearance in both the Manga + Series is when she alerted her half, Stark. about the 9th Espada's death, in which Stark didn't pay any mind to. Throughout the bleach series, it is revealed that she is just a part of Stark. Stark, being lonely, split himself into two: his original body and this female named Lilynette.Both promised to be together so that the two won't ever get lonely. Unfortunately, upon becoming one again with Stark (she become's gun), she dies along with Stark as Shunsui Kyoraku strikes them both down. Stark, the lonely Espada, now dies alongside Lilynette......not alone, but forever.

Captain of the 4th Division :The Sweet and Nurturing...Retsu Unohana

Sweet, nurturing, caring, thoughtful, considerate, and fearful, these are the traits that define 4th Division's captain, Retsu Unohana. Just like Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku, she was originally the captain of her division since the beginning. Not much is known about her except that her Zanpaktou is called Minazuki (Purify the Flesh), but her release command is unknown. Being captain of the 4th division, she is fond of treating the sickly and injured and is Soul Society's greatest healer. Other divisions call the 4th Division weak, spineless, and unfit for combat, but ironically, other squads are afraid of Retsu Unohana for her intimidating nature, despite the fact that she's speaking normally with a gentle and sweet voice. She was the one that told Ichigo that he was unaffected by Aizen's Zanpaktou and he is the only one that stands a chance to defeat him. Unohana also treated to her former captains (Shinji, Love, Rose, Kensei, etc). Hopefully, Unohana will fight back and possibly show what her true powers are other than healing the sick.

Which Bleach girl is the cutest? PART II

The new poll for the Bleach cute girl Part II is up. This time, I added more of a variety from human characters to Arrancar characters to Zanpaktou Spirit characters and etc. This is a tough one because although these characters do not play a pivotal role in the Bleach manga + anime, they still have an impact. For example, Apacci and Mila Rose are Tia Harribel's fraccion (2/3) and although not main characters, they still were pretty cute (especially Apacchi in my opinion and Mila Rose's you-know-whats were.......DAMN!). Hope you enjoy this new poll and hope to see voters out there vote. This poll, like any other, will run for about a week. So when you get the chance: Vote Vote Vote!

Karin and Yuzu Kurosaki: The caring, adorable, and lovable sisters of Ichigo

Our main hero, Ichigo Kurosaki, has gone through so much as both a Shinigami and a normal teenager. He is a target amongst the Espada and Aizen Sousuke and is also a target amongst bullies. However, he always pull out on top because he is gifted. He is gifted with strength, speed, and the desire to protect those he cares about. Whenever he goes home on regular basis, he is greeted by his family (the father and son scuffle briefly). Ichigo's fraternal sisters, Yuzu and Karin, are overly concerned with Ichigo.

Yuzu is more on the caring side as she does most of the housework. You could say she's trying to fill in the gap of her passing mother; trying to live up to her expectations by trying to take care of the family. Unlike Karin, she cannot sense spiritual energy as much. She is concerned with Ichigo because of course she cares about him, but she also doesn't want to lose anyone else in the family: not Ichigo, not Karin, not Isshin, no anyone. After the time skip (now 13 years old), she became a high schooler and to be perfectly honest: has gotten cuter.

Karin is more on the assertive side as acts more tomboyish than ladylike. She is very much aware of Ichigo being a Shinigami and just like Yuzu, is concerned. As Ichigo was about to save Orihime from the newly developed Espada, Karin asked where Ichigo was going, hinting that she cares for Ichigo's wellbeing like Yuzu. She does not show tears and has learned to get past the burdens of their now deceased mother. Like Yuzu, she also became a high schooler and has even taken up the job to protect Ichigo like how he protected her and Yuzu. She currently works with Kisuke Urahara, but what new development is there for the 13 year old sister to protect their older brother with no Shinigami powers when danger still is bound to erupt? And to be perfectly honest, she grew some melons and has gotten cuter.


Hopefully, Ichigo's sisters will play a more pivotal role in the Bleach manga and anime series. And maybe, Karin will have powers to protect Ichigo and Yuzu.

Tatsuki Arisawa: Orihime's Best friend

Even though she's not a main character and all, she does have an influence over both Orihime and Ichigo. She used to be sparring partners with Ichigo back in the day and protects Orihime from fellow Classmate and proud lesbian, Chizuru Honsho. Her name is Tatsuki Arisawa and she is a classmate of Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Uryu, etc. She can sense faint traces of spiritual energy and has seen Ichigo in his Shinigami attire. She allow has seen the hollows and the evil that is Aizen Sousuke. However, upon seeing and witnessing Ichigo's newfound powers, Tatsuki senses nothing coming out of Ichigo.....no spiritual power........nothing. Tatsuki is also best friends with Orihime Inoue and is very much concerned for the well-being, even going to the point of asking Ichigo where Orihime went when she disappeared to Hueco Mundo. After the time skip, she grew her hair and to be honest.....she's a lot cuter than I thought. What will become of Tatsuki in this new Bleach arc? Does she still have memories of the incidents surrounding Ichigo and Aizen? Hopefully....Tatsuki Arisawa, now aware of Ichigo's powers, may become an asset to Ichigo and his comrades.

Senna (Movie): A Lost Love

The 1st Bleach Movie (Memories of Nobody) introduced a new damsel in distress named Senna. She is a Shingami, but the twist is that she recalls the memories of her living. Shinigami have no recollection of memories from the time they were living and Senna (being the exception) is "suspicious" by the Gotei 13. Ichigo met Senna while they were fighting blanks. Ichigo and Senna got to know each other to the point where some lady called them "a couple," but Ichigo denied all claims. When the Gotei 13 began to investigate Senna, it is shown that her status as a Shinigami are unknown and that her name and Zanpaktou are nonexistent. Ichigo swore to protect her, even if it meant to go against the Gotei 13 to do so. However, the antagonist later reveals himself and Senna's purpose and existence is something far more than what Ichigo and the Gotei 13 expected.

Senna will later (spoiler for those who haven't seen it) sacrifice herself by protecting Ichigo, a hinting that she'd die for Ichigo rather than to see him die. As Ichigo carries her back to the grave, Senna asks if her name was engraved on it, but it wasn't. However, Ichigo says that it is and tearfully, Senna disappears from Ichigo's shoulders. Senna really does care for Ichigo and says that she'll miss having fun with Ichigo (no sexual references), another hint that if she were to have lived longer, she may have grown more attached to him.

Ichigo X Senna (Movie) 4ever! 

(This does not change my opinion of Ichigo X Orihime 4ever!) 

Ichigo versus Hollow Ichigo: Good vs Evil

Ichigo - the protagonist of the series who became a Shinigami thanks to Rukia Kuchiki


Hollow Ichigo - Ichigo's hollow form that wishes to overtake Ichigo. 

In the episodes and manga, Ichigo and his inner self, Hollow Ichigo, have fought. However, to be honest, I think Hollow Ichigo is more badass than Ichigo. Why? Two words: Fighting style. Ichigo is more of a defensive fighter and Hollow Ichigo is more on the offense. Ichigo fears being cut while Hollow Ichigo is shown being relentless. Another difference is their personalities: Ichigo cares for his family and friends and Hollow Ichigo cares for power and the consummation of Ichigo's body. The more Ichigo uses his Hollow mask, the more the Hollow inside of him is getting stronger. Hollow Ichigo called Ichigo the "King," but it seems as if Hollow Ichigo's fighting style and capabilities outweigh Ichigo's own will. Even Zangetsu (Old man) couldn't defeat the Hollow inside of Ichigo. How will Ichigo cope with his inner hollow in the New Filler Arc? Will Hollow Ichigo make another appearance in the Manga? 

And the winner is....

Looks like the winner for Bleach'ss cutest girl is..........Nozomi Kujo, the new anime filler girl arc. Not much is known about her except that she's a Shinigami whose skilled with Kido and thinks Kon's annoying and perverted. Hopefully more will come for our new heroine in the new bleach filler arc. Thanks for the supports. The new poll is up.

Yachiru Kusajishi: Kenpachi's #1 Supporter

"Who's that on Captain Zaraki's back?

"I don't know. It looks like a little girl."

"Why would a little girl hang around with Captain Zaraki?"

Yachiru Responds: "I'm 11th division Lieutenant silly. Isn't that right, Kenny?"

Kenpachi Responds: "Yeah."

What can be said about Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi? Well, she's small, cute (in terms of personality and face), and is self-proclaimed Kenpachi Zaraki's #1 Supporter. In every fight that her captain has been in, she's been cheering him on and trying not to get in the way. She says "No one can defeat Kenny." She is on good terms with her loyal Shinigami, but tends to be a nuisance to Ikkaku and Yumichika of the 11th Division. Her history is unclear, but she witnessed the color of blood at the young age. She saw Kenpachi (before being called Zaraki) kill and she followed him afterwards. Not much is known about her at all, but her strength (when watching the Ichigo and Kenpachi fight) shows that she is strong (when telling a soldier to get lost because she wanted to watch the fight). Out of all the 11th division members, Yachiru is the only girl who has become a lieutenant under her captain. Hopefully, more will come for Bleach and maybe, Yachiru's past and powers will be unleashed.

The Cute Bleach Girl polls so far...

Well 2 more days until the polls are closed on the Bleach's cutest girl poll. So far, surprisingly, Nozomi Kujo has the most votes w/ 8 voters (66%) I'd like to thank everyone for casting your vote on this poll. And no worries, there'll be more polls to come. Here are the results (as of now). Don't forget to vote for those who didn't.

Nozomi Kujo - 8 (66%)
Orihime Inoue - 5 (41%)
Nelliel Tu Odelschwnack - 5 (41%)
Rangiku Matsumoto - 4 (33%)
Tia Harribel - 4 (33%)
Yoruichi Shihoin - 3 (25%)
Rukia Kuchiki - 2 (16%)
Tatsuki Arisawa - 2 (16%)
Senna - 2 (16%)
Riruka Dokugamine - 2 (16%)
All of the above - 1 (8%)

Rangiku Matsumoto: Captain Hitsugaya's Inspiration

What can be said about this women. She's hot, sexy, has a huge bust, likes to drink, inspired someone to become a Shinigami (eventually became her captain), and is a childhood friend of former captain Gin Ichimaru. If you guessed Rangiku Matsumoto of the 12th division, then you are correct! She is probably one of Bleach's most sexiest women. She did have a troublesome history, but she managed to somewhat pull through thanks to her old friend, Gin. She eventually rose up and became part of the Gotei 13 and even inspired a young man by the name of Hitsugaya Toshiro to become a Shinigami, who'll end up being her captain. She not only has a seductive side, but she also has a caring side. She cares for her friends like fellow lieutenants Kira Izuru and Momo Hinamori and is protective of her captain as well. Hope to see more of Rangiku Matsumoto as Bleach progresses throughout the anime and manga.

Nozomi Kujo

What's this? Why a new girl that's introduced the new Bleach Anime Filler Arc. However, nothing much is known about her except that she was or is a Shinigami who is skilled with Kido (as seen when fighting against Kira and Nanao). Kon, the comic relief of Bleach, found a naked unconscious Nozomi on the street. So far, she refers to Kon (whose in Ichigo's body) as a pervert, stupid pervert, or stupid perverted freak. From what I've seen of her, she looks like a fragile looking girl with a slim body, green hair, and brownish looking eyes. The question is: Will she possibly fall for Ichigo later on in this Arc? Hopefully, this Arc is interesting.

Ichigo's regains his powers

It took a long time, but finally our hero, Ichigo Kurosaki, has gained some his powers back. Upon fighting with Jackie, his fullbring was said to be going berserk. However, as Jackie insisted on stopping the training, Ichigo pushed forward and as a result........regained his powers. As Tsukishima entered Xcution's lair, he found Ichigo and Jackie's training. Just as things were about to turn for the worst, Ichigo reappears wearing a black kimono like before. Let's hope that the future chapters will be even better.

Jackie Tristan

Talk about a few of bleach's gorgeous women: Orihime Inoue, Tatsuki Arisawa, Rukia Kuchiki, Rangiku Matsumoto, and so on and so forth. There are tons of HOT bleach women, but there's one that strikes me as "unattractive, ugly, and unladylike." Her name is Jackie Tristan, a member of Xcution alongside Ginjo, Riruka, Giriko, etc. Sure she has big marshmallows, but the face.......WHAT THE HECK!? Damn, I guess in an anime, there'll always be that one "special" chick. Well, to be honest, I think she's just okay. Nothing, however, compared to the previous mentioned. So far, she is Ichigo's opponent and has activated her fullbring called dirty boots." Anyways, let's see what this Jackie Tristan will do to our hero for the future chapters to come. Heck, she may even (possibly not) soften up to me.

Rukia Kuchiki: The Inspiration

Rukia Kuchiki was just a lowly Shinigami that was stationed at Karakura town where our hero, Ichigo Kurosaki, lives. However, upon arrival, a hollow overpowered her. Ichigo Kurosaki was just your average teenage boy who just so happens to see ghosts and his fated meeting with Rukia will forever change his life. Ichigo has sworn to protect his family from hollows after his family was actually attacked by one. Ichigo became the substitute Shinigami (or soul reaper) of Karakura Town, but got a majority of Rukia's spirit energy. It is because of the two fated people that Rukia has shown an appreciation to Ichigo as a friend, fellow Shinigami, and a leader.It is most likely that Rukia could even be Ichigo's adjutant or vice-captain if he were to become a captain someday of the Gotei 13 (or 13 Squads). So let's be thankful that Rukia was the one that made Ichigo what he is today: A Shinigami, a Visored, and a normal teenage boy who is willing to protect.

Shonen Jump is taking a break this week

As we all know, the new Bleach arc currently is progressing slowly. We can only wait to know what will happen next to our hero. To be honest, I am a fan of Shonen Jump and respectively, they have some of the greatest Manga series I've seen such as: Bleach, One Piece, Naruto, Reborn, Ultimo, etc. However, as a Manga fan, I always get upset when they have their "breaks." To be fair, artists need breaks and its the readers that are upset (like myself). However, we must stay strong and hope that next week will be a good week for a Bleach chapter. We can only wait.....we can only wait. We can only.....(snores).......(wakes up)...........WAIT (yells in agony and repeatedly says Why, jk)

Also, let us pray for Japan as they recover from the recent disasters.

Riruka Dokugamine

In the new Bleach Manga Arc, there is a new girl introduced named Riruka Dokugamine. She is a member of Xcution and currently resides alongside members Jackie, Yukio, Giriko, and their leader: Ginjo. Out of all the members of Xcution, she seems to be the youngest. At first, she didn't know what Ichigo looked like until she flashed a light in his face. And then...."He's a hottie!" is what Riruka said about Ichigo, indicating that she may have harbored feelings for Ichigo at first sight. This is what'd you call "Love at First Sight." However, she'd not as attached to Ichigo just yet unlike Orihime and Neliel. Let's see how things pull through.

So far the votes are: Orihime and Ichigo (100%)
                               Neliel and Ichigo (0%)
                               Riruka and Ichigo (0%)
                               Rukia and Ichigo (0%)
                               Tatsuki and Ichigo (0%)

Neliel Tu Odelschwanck

Nel or Neliel Tu Odelschwanck was the former 3rd Espada. She is kind, thoughtful, and dislikes violence amongst her comrades. However, her mask was broken by a man named Nnoitra Gilga and she reverted back into her child-like form along with Dondochakka and Pesche. Ever since her mask broke, she lost all her memories and later regained them when she was called to protect her knight in shining armor: Ichigo Kurosaki. Her adult form is that of a young, beautiful, and busty looking woman, but she still retains some sort of childish manner when she embraced Ichigo to death. What happned to Nel after the arrancar arc, no one knows, except for Tite Kubo. Hopefully, Nel will return and maybe....just maybe: A love triangle? Nel + Orihime = Tension. Nel + Orihime + Ichigo = Love Triangle.

Vote now: Orihime and Ichigo (100% say yes) - 2 votes
                 Nel and Ichigo (0%) - 0 votes
                 Riruka and Ichigo (0%) - 0 votes

Inoue Orihime

"Teenage Love is so special. It embarks a journey for the fated couple as they start a new life anew together, forever."

Inoue Orihime, as you may know, has confessed to Ichigo (in his sleep) that if she were to have 5 lives, all 5 lives would love Ichigo Kurosaki. She's also been protected by her knight in shining armor, so it's no surprise that she'd fall for him. Inoue Orihime's character is kind, thoughtful, caring, clumsy, cute, and most of all: HOT! I believe that the fated couple: Orihime and Ichigo, was meant to be. Of course, it is up to Tite Kubo to expand more on that and hopefully....he will. Maybe, there'll be a big kiss scene between the two. Who knows? Only Tite Kubo knows.

Vote now: Orihime and Ichigo? (100% say yes) - 2 votes
                 Nel and Ichigo? (0%) - 0 votes
                 Riruka and Ichigo? (0%) - 0 votes

Orihime? Nel? Riruka?

Three girls in the Bleach Manga, from what I've seen, have developed an interest to protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki. And of course: I'm still in favor of Orihime getting together with Ichigo, but IF that were not to happen: then what about Ichigo's other interests? Nel, the arrancar and former 3rd Espada, has taken an interest in Ichigo while she was stuck in child form. It is because of Ichigo's kindness that Neliel (or Nel) has taken an interest in Ichigo. Riruka, on the other hand, is a new girl who is part of Xcution and said "OMFG he's a hottie!" So this claims that Riruka may have taken an interest in Ichigo and this could be love at first sight. But who can truly be considered Ichigo's interest? Hopefully...we'll find out.

Orihime X Ichigo?
Nel X Ichigo?
Riruka X Ichigo?

Bleach Dubbed Madness: No No and NO!

The dubbed for Bleach, now that I think about it: SUCKS! Most dubbed animes, in my opinion, aren't as perfected as their Japanese counterparts. I believe that the dubbed are only doing these voices because they're getting paid. They're not making any effort whatsoever to try and portray the character in the story. I mean, some animes follow that, and some don't. Bleach is an example that doesn't. Voices for Bleach aren't suited for some character such as Noitora, Grimmjow, and as a matter of fact: THE ESPADA. I mean, come on, try and portray them accordingly to how they're supposed to be portrayed as. That is why I say, Boo Dubbed, Yay Subbed.

Orihime X Ichigo Tribute Poem

~Love is a strange thing

it makes one question one's connection to others

Are you forever indebted to them for saving you?

Are you blinded by help?

Are you misjudged due to your ineptness?

Do you need saving?

Do you need someone to hold you tight?

Love wavers in your heart tonight

Love makes you turn red in the face

While your knight in shining armor doesn't want to make any mistakes

This love poem or song or whatever is tributed to the bleach couples

Orihime X Ichigo: Please get together for us.~

Reunited and it feels so good: Orihime X Ichigo

Inept. Beautiful. Kind. Thoughtful. Considerate. And Shy: Orihime Inoue, without a doubt, is the ideal girl in the Bleach Universe. She is also known for her large watermelons, which make a lot of girls envious of her. Best friends with Tatsuki, good friends with Ichigo, Uryu, and Chad: Orihime has made a name for herself in Bleach. And on top of it: Orihime Inoue LOVES Ichigo Kurosaki. She has told Ichigo (While asleep) that if she were to live and have 5 lives, she'd eat the same food, she'd get the same job, and she'd...fall in love with the same guy 5 times. To be honest, when I saw that, I fell in love with idea of Orihime and Ichigo getting together. I mean, they match. Orange hair. Protective of friends. Thoughtful individuals. And on top of it: their names start with I's. If that isn't coincidence, then what is it then? Fate? Interpret it whatever you may, but I do hope this match progresses in the future bleach chapters to come. ORIHIME X ICHIGO 4EVER! 

Live Action Bleach Project...

From what I've seen on the internet, there is a plan to be an upcoming Bleach live action film. To be honest, as a man whose heard of adaptations of anime and video games being panned by critics, it'll probably be the same for this one. Panning this so called "live action" film would be no surprise whatsoever. How they can is a big question? How can they make, in my own opinion, a masterpiece into a Hollywood debut? Who would play the roles is a major and crucial point. Casting Casting Casting is important to Hollywood in producing and filming a film. Who'd portray Ichigo Kurosaki, the protagonist? Who'd portray Orihime Inoue, the love interest? And who's portray Chas, Uryuu, and others characters; not to mention the Shinigami characters like Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi? Portrayals of these characters is a big big deal for Bleach and if they can't match that and simply copy off the ideas of DBZ's or Street Fighter, I think I'm going get extremely angry like the Hulk going smashy smashy. So to sum it all up: this idea of bleach is a nice way of making money and trying to see if it can make a debut, but maybe it'll be a downfall because, as all adaptations are: there live action counter parts can't compare to the original.

And the next question is: Who is the director of the film? Who would produce it? How much money would it make if it were actually good? Will it make enough money for a possible sequel or definitely be panned by critics? Who'd the main bad guy? Who would be suitable to measure up to Aizen Sousuke? IS THE IDEA OF BLEACH GOING TO PISS ME OFF OR IS IT GOING TO BE SOMETHING I DIDN'T EXPECT? Well, let's see if it will come true....or not.

The New Bleach!

So, what is there to say exactly about the new bleach arc? Well, in my opinion, three words: Awesome. Intriguing. And most of all: SLOW! I know many bleach fans are wondering "Whats taking so long?" Well, to be honest, it's a new story line and we should be patient with Tite Kubo's creativity. I know it looks somewhat boring, weird, and slow paced, but that's where we are proven wrong when Tite Kubo starts picking up the pace and making this new story arc interesting, So let's practice patience and we'll realize that this new arc will soon turn for the better.....I hope.
