Black, white... combination of those are the combination of our dreams. Dreams that one day we shall win this ever lasting darkness and keep the balance of the world as it is.

This is the world dedicated to Bleach and everything that follows around it.

Time to look back, to look forward

Hello there everyone, long time no see! I think that it is about time for me to post something new here, so let's see what happened in the past few weeks...

Bleach as it is, ended with current anime. It ended with the Lost Shinigami arc, but fear not, it will return!
It is only for the time being, because anime has almost caught up to the manga and they don't want to release anymore any fillers. They noticed that it crashes their budget and that they have run out of ideas, so it is best to just wait for some time and then return with the anime.

By my calculations, it might take some time. By average each episode takes at least 2 manga chapters, and each chapter comes out only once per week, meaning... yes, at least one, but probably maybe even so more than one year of waiting for it to continue.

Still the last manga arc is so good, it just can't be explained. It takes back to very roots of Bleach (more actually when they were somewhere along the Arrancar arc) and delivers us only what we want.

The last arc in anime was also pretty good, while slow in the beginning, later it proved its quality.

~ I hope that you all fans will stay united and wait for the grand finale of this legendary anime!

It is not over yet

Long time from when I post, but Bleach is still going. If you are like me then you probably enjoy in the new arc that is going right now. Episodes are pretty good and interesting and will always leave you in a good cliffhanger so you can easily wait a week to watch a new one… Or not so easily.

Still it is pretty good, especially how they combined all this with the new characters and new plotlines. The manga also seems to have taken some new twists and turns which is definitely going for good.

But how long will Bleach actually last? I don’t know, this arc could end soon and after this one there should be one more if I remember correctly, but we would have to wait to find out. I know that many some of my friends here wouldn’t want for it to end, me being one as well. But everything has an end and let’s just hope that this one will last for longer.

I was also watching some of the older battles and was getting nostalgia from them. There were so many good ones, even among the fillers. Fan-service for its best, but it serves its purpose. Enjoy~!

Keep in mind that I wrote this some times ago (because at that time my internet was out and I forgot to post it later), so there might be updates recently one of them being the new Bleach New Year special. ^_^

Never meant to belong

I think that I maybe already posted this once, but I think that I should do it again. This song is just truly beautiful.. And to think of it, first Bleach OST had the best emotional soundtrack while the later ones have the best battle soundtrack.

For this one, it is done on violin. Just listen how the intensity grows and how it becomes deeper and deeper for you and your soul. This is what I call an OST and how it should be in similar animes and even more in Bleach itself (at least for this part). The most famous Bleach song, enjoy~!

My impressions about the new arc

Hello Bleach fans and likes! It has been a while since I posted my last post, so I am going to do an important one now, because the arc is already deeply cut into the story, so without further ado let's see what we got here~!

First things first, visual impressions.. They are, splendid! Bleach unlike some other three-digit-number of episodes animes actually keeps on increasing quality of the animations, shading, colors and just the overall drawing. It is actually quite nicer and more smooth looking that it was by now with more details and the ones that we can actually recognize. It is also good how they set the tone for the characters and how they changed after 17 months. I

especially like all the shading, lighting and darkness effects.
The soundtrack is for one of the rare times, recycled from the previous soundtracks. But is that a bad thing? Not actually, they still haven't made a new one and based on how many songs they have (150+) they have some pretty good ones which they can always fit in and some quite memorable and nostalgic. That gets a big plus~!

And now for the main story and presentation... It is so nostalgic. Even though it is so different than when the Bleach started it still takes you back to that time and you enjoy watching it from the beginning taking it as complete new arc. It is so well done and you will actually try to understand the characters more now because they have their expanded personalities and back stories.
Also what is good is that it focuses mostly on the human characters (well at least until later in the arc) so that might add to the nostalgic factor as well.

There are also many new characters and the story about fullbringers (that thing that Sado, Orihime and Ishida have) is explained more into this one and it plays a key role.
Ichigo is of of course without its powers, but will he manage to take them back? Well the set of events will unfold for him to do that, but he will also get many other side ones to that too.

And as always Bleach is full of comedy. Funny or not, you will still enjoy it. But still you can feel how this series has matured along with characters, getting a more darker and serious tone, but still keeping the goofy background (or am I the only one who notices these things?).

Well anyway, as for everyone and not only the Bleach fans, I highly recommend this. It has been so long since I really cheered for Bleach and it feels waiting the whole week for an episode far more enjoyable.

Tite Kubo, we give you our full support~!

End has come

Hey hey hey, Bleach fans and haters, how are you all doing?^^ Well as for yesterday (or the day before, depends do you live closer or not to Japan… the time zones I mean) the filler arc that was going around for like 5-6 months, I don’t even know anymore, has finally come to end.

Now let’s talk about something interesting in the last episode:
1) The last episode was actually a combination of filler added parts AND original manga ending. It comes that they wanted to actually do the original manga ending but since it was a filler there, they cut that out only to somehow combine later. Not badly done actually.
2) There are many MANY IchiRukia moments!! Okay, not that many like in some other more romancing animes, but for Bleach standards, it is. It could mean because at the end they actually go separate ways and she disappears. But also because they were friends for that long time. Whole episode is about them with only minor sight of other characters. At the ending part we can even see all the moments that they spent together. Buuuut, still they say that they are friends, so… don’t get your hopes up there IchiRukia fans just yet. We have to wait until the true end of Bleach to see will something happen.
3) The last thing is that shadings, highlights and drawings in general (pictures below, look) were a lot better done that usual. It may come because it is the end and such, but still they have developed and advanced in this part in general I think.

So starting next week, Bleach will resume from the manga and the all brand new Fullbringer (Substitute shinigami or some other name) arc.
