screw all the other chit chat, it should have been hollow ichigo vs muramasa for 30 minutes.

[Ci7]

: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.

Some say Bleach anim? and Manga would be better off being a fashion series...

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.

So I am new to Anima and Manga, well basically.

I am downloading the 3 Ghost in the Shell films. I was wondering what else I should look at, anything that is a must?

Thanks. (And if this was asked, well I ain't reading through this whole thread lol)

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.

Thanks, that list will keep me going.

Im confused... i dont recall anything of the sort ever going on. did i miss something?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

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

[shakey]

Naruto 124 is out now. Going to watch it when its done.

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

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

I'll be reading the manga since it's a decent shounen manga that's similar to Yu Yu Hakusho.

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.

[shakey]

Naruto Manga is out. Great start to a huge fight. Seemed like plenty of pages, so the wait wasn't for nothing :)
