Well, today I said to myself "I am going to read the manga to see what is going to be in the next episode, but I'm not going to read too much. I want to see it happen in the anime from now on and then read the manga later." Guess what? I read chapter 94. Then 95. Then 96 (and so on) and now I'm at 104. I swear I have no self-control! Gah. Oh well, if I stopped now, I think I could probably let the anime catch up, but...I don't think I'm going to. I've been such an idiot! The manga is so, SO, SO much better than the anime, and pwnz j00 all.

(Note that I have no CLUE what the point of this thread was...)

[Darren337]

the point was to show your addiction. trust me i feel your pain. so far im only to chapter.... oh hell, i need to start vol 8, thats all i know... late 50s early 60s... the point is that every time i say "im gonna read.... 3 today" i end up reading 13. the stuff is just that good. and im not hating on the anime, but yeah the manga does have us on our knees.

[Ryudell]

It explains more and somehow makes more sense, but i still like the anime coz the seiyuus do such a great job^^

[Darren337]

what ive notice in anime vs manga is the fact that certain details come out better when animated, and others when drawn. (dont get technical on me with "its all animation and its all drawn" you know what i mean)

certain emotional moments, like a dramatic pause, are better represented in anime. internal dialogue is better in manga.

[fancia]

I love both Anima and Manga, like you say, each has each own good. I don't mind if I know the story before the anime though, that's why I read Bleach from ch 70 to ch 167 (at that time) just in one day :biggrinki
couldn't resist :LOL:

[Darren337]

im so not gonna stop reading the manga when i reach the point that the anime is at. ive read all of naruto and it hasnt ruined the surprise of thr eps (the non filler eps) when they finally come around. theres are subtle differences that i like to reflect on.

[hasuke]

The anime's art bugs me at times (low budget eps and such. Plus Kubo's art just seems so raw and in yer face XD)

Plus the anime gave my Kuukaku that eyesore of a fake arm (seriously, what was the point o.0?) and removed the scene with the hollows tearing up grand fisher, WHICH WAS IMPORTANT... Ya know, if the Anime skipped that scene...maybe that scene WAS a trashed plot (someone said Kubo might have made it and just never bothered to start it up) after all...

[Aboroth]

Well yeah i read some manga chapters but i have some strong will ;d so I didnt read too much I just dont want to make a spoiler for mysel :) but every day waitin for new ep gets me closer and closer to the download section : P

[Darren337]

screw willpower, give into the wonderous bleach! i love it, i will never let go!!!

[Aboroth]

Yeah well thanks to you Darren my willpower is fadin and Im startin to think bout downloadin the manga ... :x

[Darren337]

oh the glorious manga... i pulled it from beginning to 172 in under an hour... im happy... oh so happy...


*curls into fetal position on floor in front of computer*


....sooo....happy.

[Ryudell]

you'll get a migraine running thru 172 chaps under an hour. What did you do...speed reading???

[Darren337]

pulled = downloaded. i read up to the end of vol 7, which is like ch 63 i think

[Ryudell]

Oh, ur way behind me Fufufufufufufu

[Darren337]

yeah no sh** there... *sigh* i would be done already if it wasnt for school. oh well.

[Ichigo_]

Join the dark side all of you!Read the manga!! :P

Yeah in the begining I was like most of you - watching anime and reading manga at the same time..But I watched all the anime series so I started reading the manga more often.And now I have read it all. T_T I AM SO ADDICTED TO BLEACH!! >.< I want more!!

[kinonai]

You do know that Kubo is going to get a LOAD of hate mail as soon as he stops making Bleach, right? (Not from me, but I'm just saying...) That man must be a freakin' genius to make such a great story.

[Darren337]

if people send him hate mail when the story has been completely drawn to a close, then i will send hate mail to the haters. if he continues it, then he runs the risk of DBZ syndrome.

[Aboroth]

Than he will get some part of hate mails becouse it wont do too good for this wonderfull series ;x

[kinonai]

I know, I know, I'm just saying though...if he gives us one of those 'cliff-hanger' endings, a lot of fans are going to be really mad. (Not the normal or good fans, but the rabid and evil ones...)

[netorcs]

Damn I am so bad I read everyone's spoilers. I need some IRC help then I plan to devour the manga.

[Darren337]

yeah i cant help it either, you just HAVE to push the button.

[kinonai]

Feh, you don't even need irc. Just go here: http://www.stoptazmo.com/bleach

[Darren337]

i would go there but i dont like to leech DDL bandwidth

[netorcs]

mmmm...but I could start there and go IRC when I figure the thing out..

[kinonai]

Wow, it looks like stoptazmo has unblocked me! Heh...I'll definitely be more polite with my downloading on there in the future...I got a little carried away, I guess...
Updated:
Ehh, I just downloaded three chapters...one at a time...faarr apart...and it says I'm blocked again. -.- Fun times...

[Ryudell]

ek... it blocked me -_-'' I wonder why... nevermind I'll just hop over to irc...

[Darren337]

just go IRC if you have the capability, it really is worth it. everything is REALLY quick in there, i was so happy when i realized "this is painless once you get over the fact that you're almost speaking another language."

[Ryudell]

But there's nothing new to download. Stoptazmo has the latest chapters!

[Darren337]

true but i mean for the people who like me, need to catch up in general.

[kinonai]

GAH! I just have the WORST luck out of anyone. I just downloaded mirc and went to manga rain's channel, right? I had no clue what to do, but I read somewhere that in order to find files and download them, you had to type "@find ___", so I did that. Guess what? They banned me. -.-

So now...yea.

[aya724]

ooh... ouch >.<

Well, unless their server is set up so that they can only manually unban, you should be able to roam mangarain again in a couple of days. yup... @find is very taboo in alot of the channels rite now, safest not to use it because the rule i syou can't @find licensed manga. Trust me i know how u feel since i only started using mirc recently also, i only know the bare survival skills in irc. (luckily, i haven't been banned yet *wink*)

Tip: you should first type !rules (it'll tell u what to avoid when searching, so that u won't get banned), and then !list to see what triggers you can use to download whatever manga you like.

anyway, if u need any help, im here and so is the rest of BP and CB, im sure :winking56

[kinonai]

Thanks, that was very helpful :). I've seen a lot of tutorial sites that I will check out in the future, but sheesh that was a stupid mistake...

[aya724]
