Bleach... now airing on [adult swim]

*sigh* This show has been on Cartoon Network since last month and NO ONE here seen it yet? I've been into this show for a long time now since I watched the fan subs all last year up to the current episodes {its just now in the 100s}. See my avatar? Yep. Had that for a long time now. No one dared asked, "WTF is that from?" Oh well. I hope you guys like the English dub version enough to give it a shot. It is really a nice show and worth looking into for a change of pace. Beware though. Once you get hooked, every episode will seem like a cliff hangar tease. Then you wait a week. And you get fed yet another tease even less revealing than the last! But you just wait and repeat the cycle until you are sick of it or a diehard fan like me

The commercials I've seen for it look pretty cool, but I'm honestly just never up late enough to catch it.

Seriously it IS a nice show and only gets better as the story progresses. You get to know more about the Shinigami {Death Gods}, the spirit world and their fight againt the Hollows {lost souls}. It balances out the humor, drama, and action very well through out the season story archs. And BTW you won't see my character until up around the THIRD season So keep checking it out and you might understand why I'm a fanatic now

I spent all last night, well before I went with a bunch of friends to line up for Wii (greatest time ever) watching almost the full 1st season of Bleach. I will definitely be watching more of this later, when school dies down a little bit.

The teases at the end of each episode are killer, they definitely have me wanting more with each episode, definitely gonna be a distraction when studying!

The whole first season is a tease compared to the second. One thing you will notice is how that even if you somehow missed an episode you can still have an idea of whats going on 2 episodes later. Unless the episode you miss happens to be an hour long special and this show has plenty of those. And by third season you a diehard fan and will have 1 or 2 fav characters

2nd season = complete
I'm on episode 59, (8th episode in the 3rd season) and I am definitely hooked. Now that im done all my final projects, and have nothing else to worry about until the final exams, watching til episode 114 will be my goal. Im gonna download season 4 tomorrow, if i can find the space to do so. When I download things, my laptop likes to take up space on both drives , and even removing stuff does shit. For instance, I just removed NWN2, until I put them on dvd, and sadly nothing has changed.

Your pimp though, I forget how to type his name, but he had a pimp bankai. Ofcourse I have to say Ichigo and Innoue are my two favorite characters. You can guess why Innoue
Actually no, my favorite character is sandals and hat dude, Urahara.
The teases are getting are getting slightly easier to handle than season two, but they are still there lol.

Thumbs up /congrats

me = Tousen Kaname

You will enjoy the next fights a lot. I think all of the captian fights are hardcore and you don't know for sure who will win until someone pulls off some insane move. The teasers will get worse as your addiction grows Episode 104 is out now!

Season 3 = complete

Watching episode 78 right now, and i'm really liking how the story is turning out. Although I would like to see some more Zankai KenPachi action since he is also pimp.

Spoiler


I also cant find a working torrent of season 4, its not the same having to youtube search the episodes, especially when I watch an episode every day too and from school when im on the bus.

/congrats again

YouTube is absolute crap quality but you will get the latest episode raw asap if you visit it often. The best site I've found for the torrents with excellent sub title quality is here:

http://www.bleachportal.net/bleach/m...dia/bittorrent

Scans of the current manga as well as WORKING season 4 episodes are also there.

NEW SEASON!

5th season now in effect so its within the same story arc almost as the manga. Pure craziness is about to go down and it will be great to see all of it animated For people that have only watched the anime, some of the unidentified characters in previous shows intro are now REVEALED. Yes, I mean characters that were flashed during season 2 and 3 are actaully showing up now.

I finally finished catching up to episode 113 last night. Season 5 is gonna be pretty bad ass, I'm glad its back to the main plot. It is kinda confusing, but only with a character revealed, didn't see that one coming. It sucks now though that I gotta wait a week for each new episode to be released

Watch it in Japaneses with subs, A LOT better than the english voice overs. Although the english voice overs do a good job for matching to the appropriate character (compared to other voice overs), the original Japanese voices are still that much better like in every anime.

I have no idea where the show on CN is story arc wise, but at least the actual anime as broadcast in Japan has gotten even closer to the manga. There are only a few major events left before the spoiler of all spoilers pops up So any characters you like atm just think of the impossible because it might just happen!

*BUMP*

Anyone still watching, trying to watch or want to watch this show? [Adult Swim] or the current fan subs? The currect story arc is getting hot. The [AS] dub show seems to be in the 4th season now.

You gotta watch the english sub japenese version of bleach! Anime just isn't the same without hearing japenese to me for some reason. I saw an english version, didn't sound all that great with the english voices in it.

In japan, voice acting is on par with an actual acting career, and their salaries reflect that. So, japanese voice actors tend to be more professional, and better on average.
