If you hang in past the exposition it suddenly kicks in. I don't know if those who have already seen the series will agree, but this happened for me when they infiltrated the "soul Society" around about ep 21 or so. The individual Shinigami characters were so interesting and the fight scenes so different and actually exciting that I found myself hooked. I do it admit it took a while though. |
I completely agree. Series is entertaining at first but doesn't really get addictive till season 2-ish.
I just hope this doesn't cause lackluster ratings ala Eureka 7. I have hopes it'll be better received, if dub is anywhere as onpoint as naruto, it'll be great.

Right, talk about going [OT], then throw a huge chunk of flamebait out there.
I would take Sealab over PeeWee anyday.

But Perfect Hair Forever and Stoker and Hoop are stupid. Why do you think [adult swim] should get more of those? |
I agree. Everything Adult Swim has produced is garbage. Sealab, Tom Goes, 12 Oz. Mouse, Squidbillies, Stroker and Hoop; all of these shows are crap. Williams St. should stick to acquiring anime and comedy series instead of wasting their time with their pointless Flash cartoons.
Bleach premieres on Sept. 9, huh? Can't wait. I don't care about the Inuyasha movie in August, though. That show died years ago. |
Well I only watch a few non-anime cartoons on [adult swim]. Futurama is great, Family Guy is excellent, Boondocks is very good, and American Dad is good. However, I still think Squidbillies and 12 oz Mouse should be taken off the air because nobody cares for them.
Now back to the subject. I'm glad Bleach is showing on 11:30 p.m. but what will be sad is that the FMA re-runs will be dead and will never show again. Why not show FMA re-runs on 12:30 p.m. since Bleach will be on 11:30 p.m.?

And why do you think Tom Goes to the Mayor and Squdbillies need to exist in any form in collective memory?
Still, hopefully both air to good ratings so that we can get more anime on AS.

Stroker and Hoop was cancelled about 4 months ago.

The third Inuyasha movie was really cool. I already have it on dvd and it's one of my treasures.
Bleach was a nice show. I got hooked from the first episode and the whole soul society arc was pure bliss...
But then the series took a nose-dive with the Bountou-arc...
I still follow it now, but i don't like it that much like I used to. Maybe when those tedious fillers stop, I will be a Bleach-aholic again.

Yes, it's pretty much a largely shared opinion that the first season-ish of Bleach is innovation in anime concepts and exposition with some action, then it cuts to the Soul Society arch if you will (lasting what would be considered about a couple seasons) and is easily one of my favorite anime arches of all time with the extremely well done blend of variety in fights and plot development, amount of them, and sheer kick'in ass factor. Afterwards as mentioned sadly the season takes a nosedive with lack luster fillers that would turn off everyone except the absolute hard core fans that have to watch it just because it's still called Bleach. I really can't find another reason why.
[Rant]
Seriously, Naruto, Bleach, we don't like your fillers. I don't mean to sound absurd but I think something that should seriously be considered is how exactly the fillers will be handled, I mean to me the obvious comparison in style and quality is far too extreme to overlook it without some consideration especially considering the number of them (the fillers), although this is just my opinion as a fan who wishes he had control over this kind of stuff. As far as the American companies are concerned, they'll probably not really care and treat them the same obviously as although it'd be more work for episodes to be released consecutively (given that either way we’re going to have DVDs) it'd be prolonged attention for a major series that they own which is why they're in the bis'. Then again, now that I think about it in both series’ they used some non-filler content in the filler episodes so ultimately it’s asking far too much to try and even consider it.
[/Rant]
And yeah, it's also pretty much a shared opinion that the third Inuyasha movie is the best Inuyasha movie of the four by far, and in my honest opinion the best Inuyasha anime footage aside from the fourth special (also known as episodes 147-148) but the fourth special's appeal is more one of drama, the third movie is by far the best of Inuyasha in action and conflict and probably my favorite non-comedy anime "filler" there is.
