Glimpse of "Bleach"
 

:o I admit, this isnt a totally neccessary thread, but I saw my first glimpse of the anime "Bleach" last night, and I gotta say, I was blown away. I was half asleep and woke up somewhere in the middle of the show, but I was actually really impressed with what I saw. The reason that it's kind of a big deal to me, is that I rarely find anime's I enjoy, aside from pretty much all the guyver anime's and Akira. I just wanted to see what all of you thought about the show, because it's definitley one I'm considering getting into and giving a chance.

About the exact same response for every "flavour of the year" peice of Otaku crap that comes out of Japan. Soon enough everyone's going to nag about how overrated it (acuratly) is.

Surprisingly enough, I fell into the trap of when it finally gained exposure in the US, I started to not like it. I was really into the show when it was available only in fansubs. When I heard it was coming to the US, I was excited. Then I heard the dub, and I started to really dislike it. Now I don't watch it anymore.

Overall, it's a pretty generic "pump out as many copies of working animes as you can" show. But I enjoyed it for a while. Now I can't even stand anime. I really need to sell my collection.

Thanks guys. That's too bad though, I've been looking for a good anime series lately. Most of them i really cant stand, but when done right, I can really enjoy them. Samurai Champloo good? I've heard a few things about that one.

Hook me up, dude.

You have no money! You spend it all on cons!

Bleach is good to me. Most of what is on right now (at least up here in Canada) is pretty good.

Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop blow this **** away.

You'll have to go through me, first, Sir Doomsday. I have a piggy bank full of crap that Ai simply can not refuse... :evilgrin:

I honestly don't care about how popular a certain anime is. Heck, I couldn't get into Naruto at all when it started getting popular. All I know is that as long as there is a good story to tell with good animation and memorable characters, I'll watch it. That goes with Western Animation as well.

Also, does anyone else find it funny that Bleach has a musical? :lol:

I felt obligated to come back here and say that Samurai Champloo is amazing.

I haven't paid for a con in over a year!

Bleach isn’t on my top 10 anime list but I would still recommend it. Well, at least the first arc. After that it turns into another generic fighting shonen anime with a story that drags on, too many unnecessary characters, an antagonist who always powers up to defeat the enemy, training episodes, and etc. I would give it a B- for nice animation and music. Everything else like the story, characters, fights, and comedy is okay. I would agree that like Naruto and One Piece Bleach is overrated.

For those of you who watch Samurai Champloo, I was wondering if I have anything special in store for the second half of the 26 episodes. I'm on number 12 right now, and loving this series, I guess I'm just wondering if overall, you guys liked the first half or second half more...

I don't have cable, sadly, so I don't watch the dub, but I do watch the Bleach sub and try to keep up with the manga from time to time. I like the series. :)

That musical... :lol: It seems quite a few anime get live-action series.

I saw the first 13 episodes before it even came to the US and I thought it was stupid. Then my X thought if she jumped further into the series I'd like it more but it was still boring to me.

I just hate anime I guess.
