I mean the real irony NO ONE really comes out of the Blood War looking good... except maybe Mayuri who basically wins the Smart guy war over Kisuke and Aizen 'Who is undermined by a gimpsuit and a chair'. Zaraki basically feels like a wasted timesink with his one plot development per fight and well the questionable aspect of feeding him two other characters to get it done, like one was 'fine' but The second... like motherfucker the second one finally got some fun stuff and then you took it away!

This is an outrage against Luminara!

@saiga: That's why I said obligation.

Yeah, and I disagree with that, because I don't think Kubo would have gone to that effort for obligation.

The way he's talked about his characters and the crazy levels of detail he puts into them makes me feel he likes them, rather than just dismissively saying he doesn't care about anyone not from SS.

People take Chad's treatment way too personally, IMO, seeing animosity where it isn't there. The Nnoitora thing is pretty simply explained as something Kubo did for emotional punch, rather than doing it for spite or disinterest.

Chad's later role may be a sign that Kubo wasn't sure what to do with him or had other ideas that didn't pan out. Or maybe it's just that Chad isn't as important to the story as people want him to be.

Report: episode 1 of the anime revival is good! The parts they added to were nice, and I really liked the fact that they included the volume poem at the end! From what the text over the ending sequence said, the ED for episode 1 is special compared to the rest of the run, so I wonder what the new OP and ED will be? If we're going by Kubo's taste and how good the previous ones were, they'll probably be excellent, I hope! :D

[up][up] You can sugarcoat it all you want, but the end result is the same. Of course Kubo isn't going to come out and publicly say he doesn't care about certain characters, because that would literally put him under unnecessary fire.

But at the same time, its pretty easy to tell when an author is putting forth their best foot forward with writing and when they're just phoning it in. And I'm not saying that to personally attack Kubo either because I'm well aware of issues he was facing when Bleach was being serialized, but we have to judge the story that we got in front of us.

And yea, people probably do take what happened to Chad too personally, but there's literally nothing wrong with that either. Because being upset your favorite character is getting shafted and overshadowed is literally a natural reaction to a story you're invested in and I'm fairly certain you have felt the same at some point when following a story that you've been invested into.

Well, no, I think you're absolutely full of it here. Don't act like your interpretation of what Kubo thought and felt is fact. You don't know him.

I'm not sugarcoating anything, I'm just saying not to go around substituting your own reality here.

I have to agree with Saiga here. Some people whinge about a writer "phoning it in" when things don't go with their bullshit headcanon, it's just the usual entitlement.

For record, I wasn't trying to imply that I know Kubo personally and I even admitted that I knew he had health issues behind the scenes too.

Welp, the new anime guys clearly don't know what a Getsuga Tenshou is and that's going to bother for 51 episodes to come.

Getsuga Tenshou is an oversized projectile slash. It's easy to forget because Kubo gradually turns it into just a giant blotch of ink on the page, but Getsuga Tenshou is, by definition, a cut.

Except in the new anime, it became a generic explosion. The second time was passable because the dude was properly hit with the flying black slash before the blast, but the first time Ichigo just caused a generic explosion out of nowhere without even swinging the blade. That's not Getsuga Tenshou, no matter how Ichigo is Calling Your Attack otherwise.

Something is going on with the international release. Bleach seems to be up on Disney+ UK, but they seem to be taking their sweet time with putting it up anywhere else in Europe.

Edit: Apparently it won't drop here until tomorrow. So much for simulcast I guess.

I'm glad I wasn't the only person thinking about that.
