BLEACH: For our clothes or Brains?

Written by Weeddragon on April 7, 2012 at 7:09 PM

Stupid Title Aside, I am going to be serious here when i say that In most situations You cannot compare Bleach With Either Naruto Or One Piece. Their worlds/stories/artwork/characters are just not compared unless it being a singular topic. For this review I will Separate My feelings for Bleach Anime Into 3 categorys and A timelines on my feelings. Now If you don't know, i prefer a lot of Manga to the Anime but thats just because I See the Manga For What it is and I cannot be dupped by Filler and such. Here is my timeline.

TIMELINE (SPOILERS)0-5 if it is 5 i thoroughly enjoyed it, If its 0 i did not watch that part.
INTRODUCTION-3
Honestly The beginning was a bit over dramatized and the characters were a little dry And not relatable, but it was enough for me to be interested in the word Of Grim reapers who use katanas to Hunt and Kill giant White faced Monsters.
SAVING RUKIA-5
In everything Bleach Had Saving Rukia Was its Bread and Butter, it was well written, interesting And Well executed, I give 5 because The little things can be ignored in this. When Aizen Revealed That he had been Staging this giant battle against each other it was just Pure Genius, It really opened the story to continue.
BOUNTS: 1
They Had that great opening and they ruined it by Adding A crappy never-before-heard or seen Villian and people. That would later conflict certain elements of the story In Bleach Characters and Historys.
BEGINNING ARRANCAR ARC (ending With Grimmjows Defeat in Hueco Mundo) 4
This is where the The manga would take that great opening to a new Arc and utilize it...until.
END ARRANCAR ARC (Aizen Loses to Ichigo): 3
Then They did this...they did such a well job at introducing the Espada And Showing they're power and Relevance of it. But then Cut fights In half making them Less challenging and just more One sided switches. And introducing random Never explained Stuff And at the end The big bad villain Falls in 2 episodes? REALLY?
And Ichigo No longer has to ever really Train for Anything anymore does he? nah, he just Dies or Looks into his mind and Hes all good...Thats not how that works, But Whatever its not Like 0-3 Espada weren't just Fucked up the ass via introduction or Character design...Oh wait...they were? thaaaaats Right.
ALL FILLER AFTER AIZEN: 0
Its a disgrace...ichigo was supposed to IMMEDIATELY lose all his powers, within a day he did it...
FULL BRING UNTIL CURRENT: 2
Way to fast WAYYYYYYY to fast, They Went through the most exciting Part of This Arc in like 3-4 episodes when The rest of the Arc had a good 30 eps to it.

Story&Dialogue:
Overall Bleach's Characters Are admiral, Funny And Entertaining to watch all together. Their Dialogue Makes Me feel all kinds of Emotions, As for Story After The Saving rukia Arc the Story credibility started going down And down until it officially had NONE left After Ichigo Fully Hollowfied Against Ulqiourra. I do not Think Kubos 100% to blame though, I have seen Alot of Occurrences in where if He had created A particular Event it would conflict With The filler episodes present. Like The Bounts And Fullbrings, if you don't Know what i mean...Think about it. My BIGGEST issue With this is...Well The Ulqiourra vs Ichigo Battle After Grimmjow was defeated...Nuf said...

Animation&Artwork:
The Animation gets better and Better, Though less Relevant towards the manga i don't mind that. Filler is the only Animation that lacks...Sometimes Alot so. My BIGGEST Issue With this is...Remember When Bankai Took About Like...2 Minutes to complete and it was Awesome, Big and Explosive and Scary To see At first or Epic because of that One word uttered in a close up of a characters Mouth? Yea...What Happened to that? That Was Lose, Not Bankai!! *sword makes A puff of Smoke and is now different*

Entertainment:
Overall, It doesn't have a compelling story or Cast of Characters Per say or much Credibility but i gotta say its one of My favorites. I watch it mainly For the Big ass Sword Battles. Its a Good show, But people Need to chill on defending it...Its not the greatest, but there is a reason it is So popular because it IS good. My Advice...Well This comes in two ways. Either...Kubo Draws Less huge Pictures in a Manga Book Or Bleach Anime Slows Down events. Instead of 4 arcs of Filler in between Every Actual Story Arc. How about doing What DBZ did And stretch Out fights Longer. I mean it worked For them. ALOT.
