Bleach (TV Anime and Manga)

I'll admit, I haven't watched this series' dub on Adult Swim in a while, but I have read some of the manga. It looks way cool!

Q: Have you watched the supernatural series Bleach?

[PictureGuy]

Yes, and it ran on forever!

Not a bad series, but there were too many unresolved sub-plots; i.e., Ichigo's hollow training and Uryu's problems with his father.

Could someone bring me up to speed? How did Ichigo lose his hair, and did he eventually grow it back?

In the series or the manga? I only know the series, and I vaguely remember something about hair. But he did have hair at the end of the series.

Bro the problems b/w Uryuu and his father Ryuuken are described in detail during the 1000 year blood war arc (only manga)

But in the series it is an unresolved plot point -- one of many.

As my starting anime I maybe biased about Bleach, but I'll say it's a good series. I've both read the manga and watched the anime, and it does have some plot holes. I just wish it was wrapped up a bit more neatly...

Bleach is a bigger train wreck like Naruto. Again, this is a show with so much potential that completely went down the drain. Such a shame

Just out of curiosity, did you feel that way watching the first 25-50 episodes? I kind of get the feeling that you liked it at first, based on saying it had potential, but you grew tired of it along the way. If this is correct, about what point did you start to lose interest?

I find that long series get too repetitive, although Bleach was not so bad as InuYasha when it came to repeating itself.

Got any favorite episodes?

Bleach was actually extremely good in its first 60 episodes. One of the best Shonen arcs I've ever watched probably. I didn't mind the Hueco Mundo arc either, but at about 130 episodes or something, I got tired of it. I watched the whole thing anyway, but it's definitely going downhill after the Hueco Mundo arc.
Inuyasha can get repetitive too, I agree on that, but the Final Act makes up for quite most of the repetitive stuff the first series was suffering from.

I watched The Final Act only out of curiosity. Actually, I kept with the original series of 42,396 episodes (joke) just out of curiosity to see how it ended. Both times I was disappointed. No surprises. Bad guy dies. Wow! What a spoiler.

It's still a Shounen. Doesn't the bad guy always die in those?

I can hope.

Okay joke aside, I followed Bleach quite frequently until the Subtitute Shinigami Arc. Personally I think Bleach should've stopped at the Arrancar Arc, if it ended there that could be sweet. But somehow Kubo tried to stretch out the story with the Subtitute Shinigami Arc, this one felt just like a filler until the final Juha Bach/Shinigami - Quincy War Arc. While the final arc isn't all bad, it's quite disappointed since I can't see Ichigo's true power after he attained both his mother and his father's heritage.

Bleach rocks. The manga is cool too, though I've only *skimmed* through several volumes.

It was one of my favorite anime,.. but after Aizen.. I slowly loses interest.. and the manga became also seems so complicated.. definitely some plot twist were there, like the story about Ichigo's parents, and why he is what he is( don't want to give any spoilers)... but for some reason the manga is not that great after some point... but really liked it till Aizen.. any way thats my opinion.. and as you just started it you will surely like it...

My complaint about Bleach is there were too many unresolved plot lines. For example, the conflict between Uruu and his father, Ichigo's Hollow training, and there was some bit about Rukia being under Aizen's control at Waco Mundo. She seems to have killed that young Soul Reaper, then suddenly she's OK with no mention of what she had done. All that still galls me although it has been a while since I have watched the series.
