[up] But Bleach had totally super-sexy art.

Ichigo was a Goddamn hunk.

Asta looks like that thing that lurks in little children’s closet & most definitly not the Monsters Inc. kind.

@Orion, That's basically a Corporal, and his promotion was meritorious at that. He simply hasn't been around long enough for word to spread throughout the underworld about the anti-magic knight.

Bleach had some animation that was mind-blowing, though. I have never been impressed by a single frame of Black Clover.

I miss Bleach.

Also, first post in the Toonami thread!

Shippuden is on right now, so I'm just going to be here on TV Tropes in the meantime.

[up][up][up][up] Bleach got canceled for a reason. tongue

Actually, comparing it to Bleach might not be the fairest. Bleach at least STARTED with potential...

Ichigo was a Goddamn hunk.

And that is the only reason I got into Bleach in the first place. Big mistake!

Ironically both Bleach & Black Clover are made by the same animation studio.

Plus, Bleach did have a strong start despite dropping off at some point after the Soul Society arc (and even certain parts after showed (IMO) flashes of what made people enjoy it so much in the first place). Black Clover has been pretty cliched and sub-par from the word "Go", with its only saving graces (well, according to this thread) being Noelle and Yami.

Aaaand everything I've said has already been stated elsewhere. [nja][lol]

[down] Right. Can't forget Sister Theresa.

[up] Well, that doesn't account for their actual stories (and the execution of said stories), but I think I know what you're getting at.

@ Doc: Welcome aboard! smile And good decision, though I'll agree with slim in that you missed quite a bit. There's still Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop, and Lupin the Third if those shows float your boat.

I second the notion that Ichigo Kurosaki was a hunk. Renji and Uryu were handsome too.

And of couse, Orihime and Rukia were beautiful too.

Having said that, I do remember one of my friends from a long time ago saying that the Soul Society would get their butts kicked if they went up against a real enemy, such as the Burning Legion, the Armies of the Nine Hells, or the Hordes of the Abyss.

And of couse, Orihime and Rukia were beautiful too.

Oh yeah, definitely. And so are Rangiku and Yoruichi. waii

[up]Rangiku and Yoruichi were definitely attractive.

Meanwhile, Sasuke is being a moody edgelord again.

Also, water is wet and grass is green. More news at 11!

Naruto is another show that was good at first, but the filler got too out of hand and Shippuden was so goddamn long that I just ended up quitting it. I do like Boruto based on the first few episodes I've seen of it though.

Kubo may have had a problem with using the same faces for his characters but really his art was among the best in the business.

So sleek, stylish, & sexy it was true art especially since he was drawing since he was still in high school.

Shame it degraded because of his failing health. sad

And now another example of why Sasuke is a genuine piece of shit (shakes head in disgust & disappointment).

[up] It’s a real damn tragic shame how horribly most of the Big 3 ended.

The Sauce just turned even more rancid...kinda. But not really. I don't think anyone cares about Karin.

Having said that, I do remember one of my friends from a long time ago saying that the Soul Society would get their butts kicked if they went up against a real enemy,

That's similar to what actually happened in the last arc of the manga. Soul Society went up against some real enemies and got slaughtered.

A little off-topic, but part of me wants to write an AU fic of Naruto where Sasuke is still moody but isn't a total sociopath.

Preferably with a really gonzo AU setting like Dungeons & Dragons, with the characters as adventurers.

Of course, I could probably do that very same D&D premise with Bleach characters instead, and I'd probably enjoy it more.
