i swear i was like """ nah nah nah, i eh jus see tha. kenpachi and ichigo couldnt make ah note and stark gone normal normal yes"
i would love to see what would happen if he actually learn the name of his sword.
It's a bit of a shocker to see that people seem to think i am 'bashing' the series too much, personally i think you guys are a little too sensitive where the series is concerned and as such cannot take the criticism (which isn't even directed at any individuals) as it is meant.Another thing that has changed in the series as of late is how they handle multiple fights taking place at the same time. There was a time in this same series where they would focus on one fight at a time and not move to the other characters until each fight was done (Soul society Arc, Arrancar arc) but as of late this is no longer the case; now we have to sit as they constantly switch between 3-4 battles (ie, if they are going on at the same time). And let's not forget the length of the battles; one of the things that stood out about Bleach was the length of the battles (no more than 2 episodes) as they generally had very little filler elements involved, and now... how long was the fight between Renji, Ishida and Szayel?The anime is no longer anywhere near as consistent as it used to be, I'm just being realistic here guys, I don't settle for mediocrity where my entertainment is concerned.
Whilst I agree with laertes to a point, keep in mind that unlike limited series releases where there are a set 24-50 episodes, bleach for all intents and purposes is an ongoing series that like all other ongoing (think DBZ, Naruto, at one point Inu Yasha) they basically MILK it for what its' worth. That inherently leads to fillers as the anime and manga become too coherent. Now if there were expenditure for a SEPARATE storyline (like FMA) then that'd be different. If they don't stretch it as best they can (and I am not saying they can't do a better job, think DGM) at the same time if they were to maintain the timing they would ultimately have Bleach with 50 eps every 2 years... not exactly going to work for an ongoing series they are wishing to capatalize on. That being said, all it means imho is that those who as yourself don't wish to dilute their experience, should find their sustainance elsewhere until you can acquire the arcs in their entirety and not worry about the drag factor.That also being said, if you're not a paying customer (you don't BUY all the dvds) then you're not really in a position to complain about it being too drawn out either imho that is... XD
