well, super typical, but Bleach's swords were always super interesting imo.

I mean Ichigo's bankai is straight black, blade and all, and that's awesome.

i like Japanese swords but have a weird thing for double edged sword line longswords and broadsword.

Man I forgot how cool some of the blades are in Bleach. It got so deep into using other powers that the swords themselves fell to the wayside for a lot of characters.

Did you read the manga for Bleach or did you just watch it?

[Monocle]

I read the manga from start to finish and was very disappointed with the rushed ending. so so frustrated

[ShiraNoMai]

Big same, monocle.

Also you can probably tell where my username came from if you've read Bleach

[Monocle]

Rukiaaaa!

god I hope I'm right considering it's been years since I've done anything Bleach related lmao

[Moonface]

You are right @Monocle.

Do you think you'll bother to watch the Bleach anime when it returns or won't you bother since the final arc wasn't that good?

[Monocle]

I'm definitely watching out. mainly to see how they'll expand on the rushed manga. I think it'll be fleshed out since it's so anticipated that they'll definitely give it the budget

[Moonface]

I personally hope they address any of the plot criticisms it had, particularly the random plot threads that just get started and never touched again or how certain characters get endings that really don't fit, like Chad becoming a professional fighter when his whole thing is to not use his fists for personal gains.
If nothing else I hope the fights are at least animated really good. XD

[Monocle]

The entire ending needed a lot of work. I know it was rushed but I think he forgot his own characters because Jump was rushing him to finish or else. I know he has a lot more to write and he's had years to correct his mistakes which I HOPE is implemented in the anime.

[Moonface]

Yeah, I really hope that the anime makes changes to aspects that didn't get done properly in the manga. Like if the Yachiru plotline isn't going to go anywhere then just ditch it, same for Ichigo's sister. It would be better to just show her in the epilogue training to be a soul reaper if the only thing we're going to get of her is that, because it would be better placed there than in the middle of the 1000 Year War arc.

Have you ever watched/read any other anime/manga where it did something you felt wasn't done properly or correctly, or is Bleach the only one?

[Moonface]

Not sure if you'll be back to see this but since I think of you from time to time and today is your birthday, Happy Birthday @Monocle.

[Monocle]

aaaahahahaha!

thanks! I exist. I saw a tab open on my phone with this actual topic that I haven't opened in months and was like oh i should say hi

[Moonface]

Oh well dang! Glad to see you randomly find your way back here.
What you been up to since we last saw you around these parts?

[Monocle]

work, parenting, gaming, husbanding.

literally nothing new lmao. Life is super monotonous

[Moonface]

I take it you're at the same 7/11 still?
