I read all of Bleach over about eight days and I enjoyed all of the stupid, of which there is a lot. My favorite character is the vizor dude who looks exactly like Super Bowl winning coach Andy Reid.

Darth TNT posted:Kenpachi vs Gremmy was good though. It was the right kind of stupid. A lot of Bleach can be described accurately as "the right kind of stupid".

Most of these plot holes can be filled in by just assuming everyone in Soul Society has brains composed mostly of rodent hair.

Honestly the worst thing about the later plot arcs was how Rukia kept getting sidelined for dozens of chapters at a time.

Darth TNT posted:4 chapters? Not sure if disappointed or not. But at least it should mean it's properly planned and hopefully gets more Kubo art love. I'm kinda torn between hoping he gets to do proper planning and plotting this time and hoping for an even more spine-snapping screeching halt to the story than Bleach had. Mostly though I want the former.

Installed the game and it spat me out a level 200 six star Nel (not in a swimsuit) who cheeses everything in one hit or less. I can probably clear everything in a day or two just using her.

Burn the Witch has the greatest collection of sillyass attempts at "Western" names I've seen or heard of in a manga since whatever that thing was that had a character called Satellizer or something like that.

Funny enough one of kubo's actual definitions is apparently "hollow" (as in a depression in the ground).

Stairmaster posted:Idk about viz but the translation I read only had shunsui finding himself able to relate to aizen after seeing ichibei "create" the new soul king from ywach's corpse. Yeah that's more or less what happens. Kimono Jesus gets skeeved out by actually learning what's involved and that Ichigo might've ended up in the Soul King's place.

Sydin posted:Honestly Renji made it out of Bleach pretty well: he got his power completely retconned into something way stronger to the point where he's up there with some of the most powerful captains, won an actual fight against a non-trash mob opponent, and hooked up with Rukia. Sure he had to put in like 500 chapters of work relentlessly jobbing to get there, but it paid off for him in the end. Yeah, when I think of characters who got screwed over by their development arcs in Bleach, Renji isn't even on the list. Dude killed the best Sternritter and had a family with Rukia, why would anyone call him "poor Renji"? Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Sep 16, 2020 |

In principle it's fine to forget the last arc, I guess, but in reality it just means you miss out on one of the best ridiculous moments in the series (everything about Masque de Masculine).

Sydin posted:And then... the arc just kinda gets bogged down in a million filler fights and Ichigo getting punted back down the tower a dozen times. Zero Division gets trounced almost entirely offscreen, Rukia and Renji each only get one (admittedly both great) fight apiece before they just vanish from the arc, Orihime and Chad show up to do literally nothing, Ishida being a double agent and the power he gets from Yhwach both turn out to be completely meaningless. The endless Thor fight was agonizing, the Vizards just all jobbed again, Ukitake dies unceremoniously in a pointless sacrifice that is immediately undone by Yhwach, and Ichigo's new powers are functionally never showcased outside of one "I can fire two getsugas now!" and otherwise he just gets relentlessly chumped until the dads show up to deliver the never before seen mcguffin arrow that can temporarily stop Almighty. Even Aizen getting released turned out to be underwhelming. There's just nothing about the defeat of Yhwach that feels satisfying or earned. You can probably track the progressive deterioration of Kubo's health by how the pacing and events of that arc fall apart more and more as it goes on. The final battle with Yhwach was obviously supposed to be something big and epic but Kubo's illness and the manga's curtailment hit it hard. All the stuff with the dads and the McGuffin and Aizen and Chad fighting those dudes offscreen was probably going to be a much longer thing with much more developments in the fight. It's depressing what could've been. Or it could've been an even more total fustercluck, that's the thing about what ifs. Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Sep 16, 2020 |

I remember it from the manga because it's Momo who effectively gets stabbed by Aizen again. It's bleakly hilarious.

Aizen could get violent food poisoning at a Sbarro in the Soul Society food court and come up with a reason he planned it that way for decades and someone would believe it.

Sydin posted:It is kinda funny in retrospect that Matsumoto and Hitsugaya spend an afternoon chilling in Ichigo's room none the wise that their former captain is downstairs sitting on the couch watching TV. I mean it tracks with my pet theory that most of the Soul Society aren't as much consciously malicious or fash or whatever as they are merely dumb as rocks.

Alternatively, imagine a deleted scene where one of them wanders down to raid the fridge and bumps into Isshin. They stare at each other, blink, and then someone says "I won't say anything if you won't."

Come to think of it, Matsumoto probably did bump into Isshin at some point and just didn't give a gently caress.

I think they also just absorb energy of some sort from the atmosphere of Heuco Mundo which is why Nel and her friends are so chill with Ichigo and the others instead of seeing them as a walking buffet service. It's implied that hollows don't technically have to eat human souls to live, they do it because they want to.
