:laugh: As soon as I knew that he's going to release the hollow ishigo, I knew he wouldn't be able to handle him. That was really funny moment at the end where he started attacking.

not mentioning the hollow said something along the line "what **** are you ?" to muramsa

:p

I just watched the first four episodes of Bleach and all I can say is that the terrible voice acting (both English and Japanese) and the uninspired animation makes it one of the most average looking anime series I have ever seen.

This can be considered one of the many instances where the manga trumps the anime without any doubt. In fact, if you turned the manga into a flipbook, it would have better animation than the anime series.

Dropped - 5/10

:blink: I thought the animation in Bleach was pretty good. They have their episodes that look crap, but all the good fights are done nicely.

I don't know about you but I saw bleach on youtube back in the day and didn't think much about animation at the time. But first problem is that you saw a dub episode and they usally are not good at all.

It's nothing compared to Code Geass, Yu Yu Hakusho or even Dragonball's animation. The lack of detail and sometimes asymmetrical character drawings depict a fantastic manga with average animation. I can easily list 10 anime series that were released in the same year that looked better than Bleach.

All I can conclude is that the quality was sacrificed in order to keep the anime on track with the manga releases so they can make as much money as they possibly can. It's sad to see how mainstream commerical success can turn such a well drawn manga into such an average quality shounen anime series. Anime is supposed to take visuals, voice acting and sound to a higher level than manga ever can and Bleach doesn't show that at all.

No, I never watch dubs first (except a few Miyazaki films). I always watch subbed and even then the voice acting was terrible. The opening song screamed "mainstream shounen series" and lacked any impact for such a big franchise. I just checked the English dub out of curiosity.

Cowboy Bebop, Mushi-shi, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Full Metal Panic!, Samurai Champloo, Nodame Cantabile, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy...

For more information, I suggest visiting fellow Neowin members' MyAnimeList pages (MAL).

Wow, you really went through 200+ episodes even though you give it a 6? If you're willing to commit that much to an anime series, then I suggest watching Gintama. It's probably the best mix of anime genres ever.

I totally forgot about "Sora no Manimani"! It's one of the few animes which I was looking forward to as I've got a weakness for astronomy. Gonna watch the first episode later today :D

It does have it's ups and downs. The later arcs are quite good but I guess that's not going to matter to you now :p

They really shortened the Sasuke / Deidara fight, but the good stuff is right around the corner.

I don't think that it was shortened at all. I'm actually glad that they didn't draw it out by having 15 minutes of dialog and then 1 minute of fighting like they usually do. Hopefully the manga is far enough ahead that we get to the really good stuff soon without more filler.

      Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

      By Noveed · Posted

      Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
