[Lethe]

[Shinji]

i really should start to learn japanese.
That would help a lot when watching the RAW so I'm with you.

[ADMBird]

japanese seams like it be hard to learn.

[Gunny]

that's a fact! Japenese is a very difficult language.... very difficult

[Ulquoirra]

do we know if this episode is an hour long like last week?

[Reibus]

no the file is only 180mb too small to be a double

[Marke]

what ive heard its much more Logical then to learn Swedish anyways. since we bend our words like ****ed up

[teamninja60]

is there not a summary yet for this episode?

[Maldavius]

I am going to wrap most of my post in spoiler tags as this is my first post and I don't want to piss anyone off :toocool:
I didn't mind this episode at all, it has some cute and funny moments, features Isshin, Rukia and Shunsui(three of my favorites) and has Kon diving for nee-san's heavenly valley and abruptly getting owned. Poor Kon, he just wants a cuddle :biggrinlo
Rukia back to school should be fun if it lasts more than a couple of episodes, I always enjoyed her trying to fit in, although it sort of serves no purpose now we have actually seen why she had difficulties with certain stuff as life in SS is a hell of a lot different, meh.
I am hating the story though, the bound just dont fit IMO.
All up a "decent" silly/funny/cute episode but very mediocre when compared to the rest of the series and the other silly episodes from earlier on.
BTW am I the only one who isnt impressed at all by the "Bound"?a guy with a snake, a creepy singing chick with a fire element thing and some mysterious blonde guy, ZOMG run for the hills Ichigo!
I forgot to add that the animation is yet again very poor, at times Sado and Rukia look just appauling(watch thier faces/heads) and the rest is pretty crud.
As said first post and all so hi people, long time lurker first time poster...
Sorry if its a bit mish mash, im tired :winking56

[Ichigo Soul Slayer]

that's a fact! Japenese is a very difficult language.... very difficult
Well, I am a noobx506000 at Japanese, but someone taught me some words and the alphabet in like 10 minutes, trust me, it's not hard.
EDIT: www.randomc.animeblogger.net/2006/02/21/bleach-70/

[lordsmish]

nopo japanise isnt that hard especially since you are subconsiously learning it whilst watching anime.
@ISS lol a new person to the forums can use spoiler tags better then you that has gotta be somewat of a let down.
Only jokin

[Ichigo Soul Slayer]

I don't use them often. ;p

[lordsmish]

i dont see the point of using them in here its obious there are going tobe spoilers in a ep70 disscusion thread

[Maldavius]

Well Japanese has Kanji plus 2 Alphabets, Hiragana and Katakana, although Katakana is mostly used for names(plus you have dakuon and Handakuon for both...). Hiragana is used when there is no Kanji for the word you want to use(or you dont know it).
While it is not too hard to learn both Hir and Kat with some flash cards and a book the real challenge comes in the form of Kanji, which you will need to know about 1000 of the more common ones to get by, no small feat IMO...

[chin]

bad news : next week wont be released Bleach Episode 71 which will air on March 7th, what a pity!

http://www.bleachblog.com/bleach-anime-episodes/bleach-episode-70.htm#respond

[Byakuya7]

That is some bad news right there..Oh well, at least it will give the manga more time to get ahead.

[Marke]

read the manga to 215 today. now i just cant wait to see what ive read about in the anime.

gogo!! :>

[ADMBird]

wth is Hanatarou doing out of soul socity

[trunkster]

wth is Hanatarou doing out of soul socity
lol I thought the same thing. Maybe they wanted to add some more comic relief or something.

As for the rest of the episode, we now know what the two new characters look like. The ending of course has their messed up versions, well maybe in reality we have no idea what they look like since these artist like to draw things out of proportion. Anyway, I probably really don’t have a clue what is going on until I watch the sub. Knowing when they say hi and sorry and tell each other to shut up does not help with the plot too well... :sad:

hello!
this is my first post, and the link to episode 70 by Hell Fansubs!!

[AnimeLoverX]

the ep any good ppl?

[Zanga]

Any manga readers know if this episode horrifically alters the manga arc besides the obvious one about Rukia?

[Cousinit1686]

Any manga readers know if this episode horrifically alters the manga arc besides the obvious one about Rukia?


Well I've read up to about ch. 206, and I don't think so. Personally I don't think introducing 1 or 2 characters a little early is going to destroy the series :face82:

[ChansteR]

is it me or......

that those dudes that Ichigo/rukia etc fought back in the manga look like the bounds?

[ultimate]

is it me or...... they look similar, probably cos they are filler eps and its hard to create totally original faces every time... anyway i hear that hanatarou is in karakura town [unless somebody can correct me cos i havent watched ep70 yet...], i dont mind hanatarou making an appearance cos its usually funny... too bad the next ep is march 7th as chin said but it gives more time for the manga to get ahead anyway

[Kune]

I don't care what any of you say, I actuallylike this Bount arc. The animation in this episode was great, the story developments were solid, the Bount powers were pretty cool, Chizuru is as gay as ever, Rukia raped Kloud, and Kon dry humped a pillow. I can't wait till the 7th... Now I'm curious about Jin's Doll and what the Bount's connections are to the Quincy. Kudos to the Bleach crew for making some great fillers.

[Boko]

Buhuhu i dl the series and burned it on a CD to whatch it in school but the CD got all scratced :P buhuhuhu

[lordsmish]

:headbang: http://yhbt.mine.nu/t/b70.torrent (http://yhbt.mine.nu/t/b70.torrent)
Dattabayo relesed his sub:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
just watched raw and wonder why the division 5 guy was woprking at the chemist

[Chrono Detector]

It was a decent episode. Not enough action, a bit slow but still watchable. Well, Rukia is finally back, and that is good. And apparently Hanatarou has made his first appearance in the real world as well, I wonder what the storywriters are going to do with him.

just watched raw and wonder why the division 5 guy was woprking at the chemist

Don't you mean the 4th division? Thats Hanatarou, the wimpy, but funny character who's job is to gather supplies and relief. It was nice to see him in todays episode, wish Ichigo and the gang actually spotted him today.

[Kitanoblade]

boring, not much funny parts and pretty lame how they put Rukia back into the Anime and so back to school, plus the BOUND Story gets pretty fast uninteresting and I only hope it ends soon :rolleye09

[_senbonzakura_]

well, at least the bounds can fight....., and this guy, Jin...he is a mistery.../i mean he is something like drakula, right...king of the Bonds?/It wasnt that bad after all...

[Marke]

well... they another thing that differs them from vampires is to out in the sun, wich is good me no like vamps :>

Give me more Soi Fong and Yoruichi!!

[Zanga]

I don't care what none of you guy think. The bound thing is getting interesting. Total jokes for Kon getting the cold shoulder, and Rukia goes for Cloud xD. Atleast they can fight yes.. The snake dude's ability isn't really amazing but still it gave them so trouble. Going after Ishida was interesting as well. Maybe because of his lack of power, this filler arc will concentrate on him somewhat.

[Gunny]

rukia's return was boring -.-
how is she returning in the manga???

[_senbonzakura_]

rukia's return was boring -.-
how is she returning in the manga???
i think that its written in the manga section.....:whatevah:

[Marke]

this can hardly be a spoil,

She appeares on a window ledge. :)

[JAMmaster]

I actually like the comparing it to Vampires thing. It makes for a good connection to real world myths. I also thought that the animation was smooth here too (although I never really pay much attention to it anyway).

[Rigormortis]

In the next episode's preview, we saw Mayuri!
Woohoo, hope we see more of his evil character :)

I've been enjoying this fill arc as well, it keeps my attention.

[Kazuya]

I must admit that this episode was rather boring. But we saw the "head" of the "bountys" ^^. No spectacular fight no feelings between Ichigo and Rukia...raaaaather boring -.-

[_Ink]

well... they another thing that differs them from vampires is to out in the sun, wich is good me no like vamps :>

Give me more Soi Fong and Yoruichi!!

common myths describe them as night creatures, but you haven't read Anne Rice's novels yet, Vampires can also walk under the sun, it just a matter of seniority and different "gifts"
but having said that, this episode is rather boring indeed, and I find their use of that doll thing resembles Rozen Maiden lol. Or possibly like Shaman King.

[RumpskA]

I'm just happy that they started doing good quality animation again.

[ADMBird]

this ep was ok way better then the last few but its tottly butchering the mangas story.

[lordsmish]

lol i can just imagin them going back to the mangs:
Start of episode after filers
"but that was what happened after this"
goes back into manga story line

[Nood]

i totally disliked this. Rukias return was so stupid.
"Ur not even a shinigami now, but there are TOTALLY ZERO hollows in Karakura town with a VC who got bankai, and a Captain level shinigami! So you must discard becoming a shinigami again and go down there kill all the (zero) hollows"

[Miriya]

I agree with your reasoning. It was kind of pointless to have Rukia return at this point in time, although seeing her again was cool...They should've waited until they put the manga storyline back in place to have Rukia return.

And Hanatarou? ...the hell?

[ADMBird]

i don't get what the heck the writers are thinking.
i wonder does kubo tite have any thing to do with these eps.

[_Ink]

hanatarou was a welcomed return as he did not play any significant role before, what i like to see is that they send all the non-significant characters before out for the entire filler periods, including people like Iba, Unohana, Hanatarou, Isane, Nanao, and a few others would be nice, it develops the story however short for these characters.

[_senbonzakura_]

i agree, but what the hell was Hanatarou doing.....?*confused*

[ADMBird]

4th div cap said Hanatarou could see the human world i think thats what Hanatarou said at the end.

[Miriya]

Yeah, he said that...

He was a welcome return (cause he's one of my faves), but I just wasn't expecting him to pop up out of nowhere. I liked Ichigo's reaction as they were running past... "That face seems familiar" or something along those lines. I'm too lazy to replay the episode. -_-

[_senbonzakura_]

yeah, Unohana allowed him to check how is the life in the real world, but why would he be so curious about it after all?doesnt he have his own duties in SS?
anyway, he is one of the good things in the ep....

[Miriya]

yeah, Unohana allowed him to check how is the life in the real world, but why would he be so curious about it after all?doesnt he have his own duties in SS?


Yeah, as everyone's towel boy. =P

Sure, he's the leader of the 14th squad and 4th division, but there's 13 others above the kid. He's also close with Ichigo after that whole Soul Society deal, so why not send him?

yes, but i still have the impression that he wanted willingly to go to the real world... something like vacation...lol....and thats why he was allowed
to do that.....ohh.and the scene with Ichi was really good one.....:rolleye09

[SmallKid57]

rukia was so funny, especially with that bunny memory toggler mabobber on a spring.

[ADMBird]

if a was Hanatarou i'd love to get away from work.

[strawb3rry]

they screwed up w/ Rukias return. I didn't see any point for her to be there. She's my favorite character but the filler screwed it up badly like they did with Renji. They make all the tough characters into corn balls.

[Marke]

not SoiFong and Yoruichi yet... i hope they dont mess around with there chars

[Ichigo Soul Slayer]

the ep any good ppl?
Simply put, no. >.< Why'd they have to bring Rukia back.. I liked the anime story line the way it was, now the manga won't be much on track.

[Undying]

The filler wasn't half bad, the animation is actually good. And Rukia's moment with the bunny guy (Cloud, I think) was adorable. I have a question though - WHAT"S UP WITH HANATAROU IN THE REAL WORLD? (don't you just love it when it's all in caps?). But, what the hell is he doing there? Anyways, not as bad as I feared.

[Ichigo Soul Slayer]

If you watch the Shinigami Cup Golden it explains it, his captain finally let him come to the real world and he was looking for a job.

[Undying]

But why? For what purpose? I mean, isn't he better off in the Seireitei?

[Endless Black]

This whole filler has been strange.. my points in no particular order would be..

- Whats up with ichigo what is he such a punk?? the guy went up against the elite of the SS and held his own and then he gets beaten easily by that fire doll and has to be saved by Rukia who he just saved like 10 episodes earlier I don't care that its harder in the real world Rukia was a wimp compared to Ichigo in SS and yet its the other way here

- Why put them in dolls!! not only do I find the dolls horribly annoying ( well except for Nova he is pretty pimped actually but he acts just like Chad so what do you expect ). In their bodies which I am assuming were corpses ( EWWWWW! ) they managed to go toe to toe with Renji and Ichigo but here is a bright idea lets true them into glorified sonar in a plush toy with no power at all.. give me a break!!

- And why does the top villain look like a young count dracula? pause it sometime and look at him its wierd :p

That all being said I am always happy when a bleach episode comes out and I did enjoy this one too most of my gripes really relate to being a little too much in love with bleach haha

Rukia didn't have any powers in the real world prior to the Soul-Society arc (she lost them to Ichigo). And right now, Ichigo is supposedly having trouble with releasing his Bankai. WTF?

On this I totally agree. They had powers before that. Where are the powers?
- And why does the top villain look like a young count dracula? pause it sometime and look at him its wierd :p
He's an annoying hamster.
That all being said I am always happy when a bleach episode comes out and I did enjoy this one too most of my gripes really relate to being a little too much in love with bleach haha
Me too. But still, I hope they can make the fillers better, and eventually return to the original storyline.

[dragoneyes001]

I don't care to overanalyze it 70 was worth the time to BT it thats about all we can really ask of it!

lets see how they proceed if they start to ignore the Manga so be it they may actualy want them to part ways or they may have some other ideas on how to mesh them either way so far they have a base for an adventure!

[Sora124]

Remember that Urahara makes gigais. All he had to do was just create bodies that matched their personalities.

[Mazral]

But why? For what purpose? I mean, isn't he better off in the Seireitei?
I think it was just a fun little thing.

But, just watch, Hanatarou will end up being behind it all :LOL:

I liked the ep. I don't think it will be THAT hard to get back on track with the manga. Things are a little out of place, but nothing huge that can't be fixed with a tiny bit of tweaking. :whatevah:

[vision33r]

(don't you just love it when it's all in caps?). But, what the hell is he doing there? Anyways, not as bad as I feared.

This filler stuff is one bad nightmare, night after night. It's like waking up in the middle of the night and it is playing and you are like gasping when you saw the horrible animation, cheezy dialogues, and boring and uninteresting storyline.

Whoever think the fillers are good is just patronizing the anime and not taking it for what it is... the creators are on vacation and this kind of scripting I can do it on a napkin with katsup.

From 68-69 it was starting to get interesting and Rukia just killed it. She doesn't not belong back here, yet. The creators put her back prolly to please the Rukia fans. It totally killed the climax in the manga when she came back..

[teamninja60]

it's nice to see rukia back but i would've much rather seen her in her original come back in the manga. i'm still convinced that dattebayo is spelling it wrong. it's not Bound or Bount it's baunt.

[Mazral]

it's nice to see rukia back but i would've much rather seen her in her original come back in the manga. i'm still convinced that dattebayo is spelling it wrong. it's not Bound or Bount it's baunt.
I noticed that. They spelled it Bounto. I actually noticed quite a few things weird with the sub. When Rukia saw the stuffed bunny Cloud was in, she said "oo it's just like 'chappiri'" Wasn't that supposed to be Chappy? :|

[AznPoi]

I don't care how you put it, the filler sucks. At least think of it this way, ONLY 7 MORE WEEKS OF FILLERS FOR NARUTO. So we can lay back on Naruto in 7 weeks while we wait for this stupid filler arch to pass by in 5 months then we get good NARUTO AND BLEACH at the SAME TIME. It would be such a sweet moment as there will be two insanely good anime to watch.

[Cassie]

heh, looks like everyone agree that rukia's appearance was pretty stupid.

as for me, i sorta like the end of 69 when she appeared and seemed quite powerful by saving ichigo, but then in 70 it just became stupid. all of a sudden she's useless against that doll too and then this other guy with a stupid doll appear lol. and yea, the animation was pretty crappy too.

hopefully they get some nice fight scenes soon, w/o the fights its no fun.

[Mazral]

hopefully they get some nice fight scenes soon, w/o the fights its no fun.

Meh..the fights, though there haven't been many, haven't been too good so far, especially the one at the end of this episode. So..I'm not exactly hoping for a fight scene, unless it's going to be good.

[Byakuya7]

What they need to do in bleach is make the fights better. Now I'm not dissing bleach or anything like that, but I want to see some 10 minute swordplay skill. Not talking in the middle, two slashes, and more talking. I want raw excitement, sword countering, and pretty much just steroid pumped battling.

Like a hitsugaya vs. gin sorta thing but a little longer.

[Shimi]

I think the new dolls are fugly xDD Kon looks better. I like the SS Arc so much better. Much more Tense. i want to know what happens to Ishida.

[fettel]

just watch. by the time Bleach gets back on track, Naruto is gonna go on another few months of filler. at least the Naruto fillers focused on the other ninja for once. not like bleach right now which mainly focuses on ichigo. these next fillers are gonna be all for his bankai re-training. seriously, just have a few months of Shinigami Cup Golden! and more SS womens club! DB dropped the ball on spelling this time around. Bounto? Chappiri? what happened to Bound(Baunt is the real way right?) and Chappy? psh. teamninja, you aint the only one. Rukia shoulda come back the way she does in the manga. that scene woulda been way funny animated. plus sorta dramatic.

as for little hanatarou, its a welcome comic relief really. the replacement scriptors needed something to distract from the relatively low-level idea of vampires. although they are kinda tight. is that chick's doll really Geitei, or Gate? that one guy with the snakes used too much english though. but his 'turn anything into snakes with imagination' thing aint bad. i do want to see more of that head vamp guy though.

[Shimi]

How did she came back in the Manga? (has no money to buy all the mangs because is only on Vol ONE)

[Kune]

Wow... So many haters. -_-' Seriously, if you want back-to-back fight scenes go rewatch Scryed or DBZ or something.

I have a feeling that there's going ot be an explaination as to why there are 4 shinigami in one town later on. Rukia hinted around when she brought it up in this episode, and usually when something gets touched on that people are curious about, the Bleach writers already have it figured out. I will agree with you guys on one point, though, and that is how crappy Rukia's excuse for coming back was... Kinda random to be sent on an assignment so soon after getting off of death row.

lol, that's one of my dreams, but i dont think it's possible.

I'd be happy with more soul society in general tho. more captains/vc's showing up, more people, im really sick of kon/stuffed animals and orihime and chad and weak ichigo and ishida and even rukia when she's not a shinigami.

As for fighting animes, I've never seen scryed, so I cant comment on that. But the reason I dont like DBZ is because I found the fights to be very unrealistic and uncool. Nothing beats a good ole sword fighting like Hitsugaya vs. Gin. If that was to happen every fight, Bleach would become the number 1 rated anime period.

[Gundamblueriver]

Did anyone else notice something wrong with the Dattebayo torrent, or am I the only one? It doesn't seem to be working for me. I can't get the episode to finish downloading. I thought I had it, but then while watching it, it just stopped in the middle. Did anyone else have this problem?

[Undying]

How did she came back in the Manga? (has no money to buy all the mangs because is only on Vol ONE)
It happnes like this (I suggest you only read this if you are convinced Rukia is staying, and we won't have another return scene) Ichigo is in school and is moody over his failure to protect Inoue (yes Inoue) then a bunch of important people show up (you'll be amazed when you see who), and Ichigo goes like "wtf are you people doing here?" and the, Rukia shows up outta nowhere. That's how it happens (that's a major spoiler, btw). That's why people complain about it, they feel most of the drama was taken, plus the IchiRuki lovers feel they've lost a "love" moment between the two.
@Gundamblueriver - I personaly had no poblems dling and watching the episode. Maybe it's something with your Media player?

[ultimate]

i just watched this ep and i think the way rukia returned in this ep was pretty cool but i think it was much better in the manga cos it had more drama to it like Undying said... anyway i guess the best thing about this ep was probably kon, he was pretty funny when he tried to leap at rukia and rukia stepped on him lol and claiming he lost his position as favourite stuffed animal to cloud lol... the snake dudes powers dont seem that interesting, hopefully the next ep [march 7th] is better

Edit: this is my 500th post :D

[8GaugeBrett]

The more filler episodes i watch the more i feel like they just should have just said, hey we are going to stop producing the anime for like 6 months while we start doing double/triple manga releases each week.

[Katen Kyoukotsu]

Wasnt Cloud's name Claude. And did anyone notice that they kept called the Bound the Bounto. Am i just confused or were the subtitles really bad.

[Katen Kyoukotsu]

I wholeheartedly agree. *so tired of fillers*

[chakra25]

DB was having a bit of problem with the torrent. I also had BT troubles last night. It was a bit disappointing to find the name changes and a few mistranslations. I noticed that they have a problem with keeping name consistancy, especially with the newer characters. But we can't expect much quality since they are speed subbers.

I like Rukia's return because it was unexpecting. I knew she'll return one day, but I never knew she will return this soon. It was a dramatic entrance too... she saved Ichigo's ass. She still has a characteristics... the chapi scene was hillarious and I love her accent when she talks. My only complaint was Ichigo's reaction was kind of plain. I expected more from Ichigo... kind of like Renji's :D

[Byakuya7]

Wow... So many haters. -_-' Seriously, if you want back-to-back fight scenes go rewatch Scryed or DBZ or something.



If that was directed toward me, then I'd like to clear up the misconception. I dont want back to back fights in bleach, I want the fight scenes just to be fights. No talking and powering up or sudden breaks in the action just for comedic relief like in the Ichigo vs. Byakuya fight. When a fight is done there should be time put into it, not abrupt pauses that ruin the mood severly. I still like bleach, but this is just one thing that really bothers me about it.

[Ichigo Soul Slayer]

Rukia has her powers, Ichigo can't release his bankai. Boy, is it gonna be funny if they just suddenly say "duerrrh, Rukia lost her powers to um..drinking too much." Then all of a sudden Ichigo goes through some dumb secret training in the middle of nowhere and no one knows about it. I know I keep complaining about it but since I know what happens in the main arc this will make it confusing and dumb.

[Ryoko]

well im happy--- Rukia now has a tan which is hot...well thats the way it seemed....also w.t.h. is up with losing bankai..kinda reminds me of dbz how goku couldnt do his Transfomation into ssj for quite a while (he trained with the yardratts or whoever to be able to do it all the time) so now ichigo gets to learn how to do it all over agian. next subject...the IchiXRuki omg i lost a moment subject. ok umm the signs were there cuz ichigo was mega relieved and happy his goddess or what not had returned. Kon cracks me up btw. But also wth is up with the mod souls being like kon now...thats pathetic...thats so freakin stupid.

[Umi]

Wasnt Cloud's name Claude. And did anyone notice that they kept called the Bound the Bounto. Am i just confused or were the subtitles really bad.
Bounto is prolly the way to pronounce Bound in katakana. Same I think with Cloud.

[Bankai!!]

Besides Kon, I think Renji was happiest to see her... that big doophus!:)

[BeeCrest]

I jsut saw ep. 70 finally, but I'm wondering: "Where is Renji when they are fighting the Bounto, like at the end?"

[Abarai Renji]

it said next episode march 7th, i hope they dont mean that, if i have to w8 2 weeks for another bleach ill go crazy watching my 2nd favorite anime all over again (fma) or maybe ill watch dbz or something. the setting for the fight to me was a great place, but hte fight itself wasnt that great. a ikkaku vs renji fight at that location would be the best! does hamatarou(sp?) end up getting a important or semi important role now like he did in soul society arch? and werent they called bounds last weak? then again it was soul slayer to zanpaktou's and death god to shinigami(i think its they try to say bounto in english but then decide to just say the japanese version of it or something)

[AznPoi]

What if they bring Ikkaku back like in the manga lol. They bring the whole SS crew to Earth, that would be funny.

OMG,if they did I would be laughing a lot. I was on ends just laughing at what Hanatarou (geez,I forgot how you spell his name -__-) is like in the real world. Can you imagine the girls on Hitsugaya (kawaiiiiiiii!!!!!!) and the guys on Matsumoto (*saliva drop*)...ahaha,all the other characters..thank god Renji changed his clothes.

I know people are eager for the manga to show back in the anime but so far I think the fillers are entertaining enough..builds up the hype to when it gets back on track.

Nova rocks! ;)

[ade.hell]

Maybe these fillers are not so stupid, but they change characters' personalioties.

when You write a fanfic there's a rule : DON'T CHANGE PERONALITIES, unless it's the main thing in the fanfic. but then You must say about it. Not respecting this rule makes fanfic... idiotic.

Here's the same. Maybe new idea, maybe interesting, but... idiotic.

[Byakuya7]

Actually for the most part, the personalities are not changed that much. The shunsui "you wanna fight?" remark was what really upset me because it made no sense, and its not something he would say.

I agree, though rukai hugging that purse was a bit out from left feild, even though she loves bunnies

[Byakuya7]

I guess being in the shrine of penitence really screwed her up then..

[UraharaTenchou]

The more filler episodes i watch the more i feel like they just should have just said, hey we are going to stop producing the anime for like 6 months while we start doing double/triple manga releases each week.
oh hey..i agree..

this ep turned out boring.. really nothing new..especially to manga readers..and when the manga returns to anime, you won't be so surprised anymore..

[Thaliel]

I seriously don't like what is hapenning to the anime ATM

[ade.hell]

Ya know, guys, but that's the part which's most pissing off for me

[Hotaru]

What if they bring Ikkaku back like in the manga lol. They bring the whole SS crew to Earth, that would be funny.
Can we please not qoute the manga??? I don't want to be spoiled!!!! Thanks!!!! Altho, what the hell is Hanatarou doing there????!!!!????

[Byakuya7]

Can we please not qoute the manga??? I don't want to be spoiled!!!! Thanks!!!! Altho, what the hell is Hanatarou doing there????!!!!????

When the anime starts they will most likely skip that part anyways because it will probably happen in the filler. I agree though, AznPoi you need to put that in spoiler tags.

[Hotaru]

I repeat, anyone have any idea what the hell Hanatarou is doing there???

[dreamofme]

I repeat, anyone have any idea what the hell Hanatarou is doing there???

most people would say it's for comic relief. but well, we'll have to wait and see.

[Stigmata]

I think they will make him be there just for the comic relief thing but then *BAM*
He will save the day!

[ayllien]

The reason to Hanatarous' presence on Earth is pretty obvious: it will allow the 2nd OVA link perfectly to this saga! :musak:

[The_lone_sprit]

I think this Episode was very good i really enjoyed watching it ^.^ i am don't know much to say about except it was good.

[sparrowhawk]

I'm just happy Hantorou is back.

[choking]

shinigamis invading the human world...hehehe cool! ^ ^

[Hotaru]

Umm... I don't know what an OVA is... and, yeah, Hanatarou will save the day again...

[Stigmata]

I really liked episode 70, thought it was great :D

[Renji Abari1]

This episode was the worst excuse of a bleach episode i have seen to this day.

It was slow moving, You have Rukia coming back to the real world even though Renji was put in charge of the area, on top of that it we only get to see Renji for 30 seconds and then theirs half the episode already. Hanataru comes back for no real reason other then to see the real world * What the...*
and finally we get to see ichigo and company trying 2 fight the bound guy whose face was messed up by the way. *Even though Ichigos power should be more than enough 2 crush him alone*

Overall it was a good episode.....if it was made to be a Buffie the Vampire slayer cartoon with crazy abilities. Mo my friends this is not the Bleach we came to know and love, I dont care if its fillers or not these last episodes were utterly terrible, and to classify these last 6-7 episodes as bleach is utterly sadening indead.

[Fishus]

Im saddened to admit it, but i have to agree, since returning to earth, quality has been lower than standard. However, there have been a few good setups throuoght this section, eg the possible enhancement of weaker characters, and the promise that ichigo will help urahara to get Bankai. these tell of the possible quality to come.

[Ichigo Soul Slayer]

This episode was the worst excuse of a bleach episode i have seen to this day.

Overall it was a good episode.....



...Um, if it is the worst episode then how is it a good episode? o_O;

[vision33r]

I don't care if Kubo and the animators take 1-2 month break to rest, but please do not make any more fillers.

To the point that it is degrading the bleach characters and their worthiness to the audience.

[Captain BenZ]

...Um, if it is the worst episode then how is it a good episode? o_O;
Maybe if you read the entire post, you would easily see how he was trying to play sarcasm into his post. Man, you are clueless... -_-

BTW, even though for some reason I can't D/L the Bleach episodes, it's making me glad I'm not D/Ling them hearing from all the criticism the fillers are getting.

[Byakuya7]

I'd recommend downloading them Captain Benjamin, the episodes are decent. Some people just take it overboard and bash the fillers like its their part time job. They arent that bad, but I guess its just up to your personal preference.

[Hits]

^ Though the overall production quality is pretty bad. A lot of characters look distorted.

[Nood]

deformed would be a good word too.
Sometimes Sado lookslike a monster or idonnowhat.
Anyway why no episode thisweek?

[Fishus]

well im content with aquiring the anime episodes. The manga stuff dosnt sound much better than the pilot that i DLed.

[Enkou Kitsune]

Here's an interesting thought I had...Probably just nothing, but I like speculating, and isn't this what this thread is for?

The bound guy with the snakes, (can't remember his name), tended to focus on Ishida more than the others. He knew he was a Quincy, he knew he lost his powers, and if I remember correctly, he knew his name, right? How does he know this stuff?

At first I entertained the slight idea that he might actually be Ishida's Father, but I don't think so, since Bounds live for hundreds of years and stuff. But is it possible that he is one of Ishida's Ancestors? The Bound and Ishida's Dad look similar, if I remember...

I could be completely wrong, but then again...I might not be...right? What does everyone else think?

It's not Ishida's dad, but I can tell that the bound have something against the Quincy's. I really have no clue as to what the Bound want with Ishida, but it could be possible that the Bound and the Quincy's have had some kind of past conflict, similar to that of the shinigami and Quincys.

[Enkou Kitsune]

Yeah, I agree...they at least have some really bad blood between the two... I mean, that comment, "I wonder what a Quincy Soul tastes like?" Had to come from somewhere, right?

What if the two races of people had fought for some time, and like, the Quincy wiped out the Bound, like the Shinigami did the Quincys, and these 3 are like the only ones left? It's possible, I think...

Lots of fabulous ideas, I love it...lol

[Evenstar]

Hmmmm...the bound episode is really a sucker...I mean, it wasn't that interesting to begin with...the episode wherein Urahara played on them was more entertaining than the ones that followed...hope they won't spoil the story anymore...

[Insight]

if the Quincy's did have a fight with the bound then that means that the quincy's are really violent as they fight pretty much every1 shinigami, hollows and now bounds aswell.
they should find a new hobby instead of killing every1 lol.

[Cheryl]

Ugh, I don't like the story on Bounds. I mean, the story is getting spoiled more and more...and Rukia wasn't supposed to appear yet. I wonder how long more the animators want to drag the fillers.

[Byakuya7]

The Bound story has a lot of potential, but I can tell its just going to drag on and make the fillers worse. Just bear with it for a couple more months at the most and the bleach we love and know will be back.

[AznPoi]

When the anime starts they will most likely skip that part anyways because it will probably happen in the filler. I agree though, AznPoi you need to put that in spoiler tags.
spoiler tags don't work

[vision33r]

Why can't they simply made fillers about Soul Society. I much rather see everyone return to Soul Society.

There is just something unnatural about everyone in Bleach right now. Almost like everyone is a fake.

How useful of putting 3 modified souls in stuff dolls, how's that gonna help Ichigo?

They were so powerful in gigai.. now just stupid stuff cotton.

[SumDumGai]

They really should just have Ichigo wake up at the end of this filler arc and pretend it was all a dream. I'm not sure how exactly they'll tie it together to have Renji and Rukia go back to Soul societ then come back... but if they go back on the last episode of filler then all of them come back the next episode (which would be regular manga arc) then that would loose all of its drama and impact... even if they said it was a few months later.

[Byakuya7]

Go to advanced, then click the question mark to create a spoiler tag..

[Undying]

Ah, how many times must I (and many others) repeat myself? Those are fillers, and since they wanted to drag the fillers for a long time, they weakened everyone. Especially Ichigo, they took his Bankai. Why? two reasons, one is a spoiler the other is obvious.
a. If Ichigo has Bankai he ownes them all. He'd have sliced that snake guy in kess than a second.
b. (I also present to you the currect use of spoiler tags - you need to add a titile to the spoiler, like this: [*/spoiler] minus the *). [spoiler=title title title]Whenever Ichigo goes Bankai, mister "I have no name and have nig guts and cen rip you all into tiny pieces because I have pretty black eyes" tries to come out.
That's why. Me and Kyouka Suigetsu has already answered all the "why are they so weak" questions in the "why is Ichigo so weak" thread (search and you will find! Search is your friend - a quote, originaly said by Sandal Hat).

[bleach!!]

I must admit that this episode was rather boring. But we saw the "head" of the "bountys" ^^. No spectacular fight no feelings between Ichigo and Rukia...raaaaather boring -.-


yea this one wasnt one of the more exciting ones but you got to learn a little more about the vampires or whatever they call them and their leader and everything. but yea it was rather on the slow side

[Byakuya7]

hopefully next episode we will see some more of the bound vs. Ichigo and the gang. The fight scenes have been lacking in the filler thus far, but im staying positive and hoping they will improve.

[AznPoi]

That's so lame. I've been meaning to learn how to use the spoiler when they updated to the new system.
Why can't they leave it the old th way.

[Marke]

[*spoiler=] IM GAY [/spoiler*]

copy that and remove the stars and it works ^^

[Shinji]

You probably shouldn't hope for too much since they're fillers =D

[Katen Kyoukotsu]

You probably shouldn't hope for too much since they're fillers =D
Yeah thats the vibe I get from them too. The.....were fillers.....were not original.....we just thought of the stupidest thing possible and did it vibe. Oh die fillers, die a painful extended death.
