He is a neko-san, quite interesting na. :hehe:

Actually how many episode it is??
Finish release already ka??

Hai. Its been out for some yrs now.
I think I bought all the DVDs Jr. Yr in high school...or was it sr.

Anyways there's about 24 or so eps if i remember right.

Enjoy.


Just to let you know, they haven't come out with 2nd season yet, so if you want to continue with story, read on from about Vol. 10 of Manga. Check with vol.9 first to see if vol.10 is where you should start

ƒPƒ”ƒBƒ“ wrote:hmm, I am currently watching Bleach (episode 38 now) and I must say im kinda getting tired of all these episodes where theres generally only fighting in it and nothing interesting happens. In my opinion thing go to slow..

dont know if this is the case in all anime series ?

well, its not really b0ring or tiring, in your case... most animes are really action-packed that's why almost every ep have fight scenes... but, in my opini0n, BLEACH's story is so great that i tend to overlook the fact that i don't really like action scenes that much... c0z not all of its fight scenes are useless or drawn out... they are quite interesting... for me... :victory: sure there are times when some fight scenes in bleach are unnecessary, i think... :sweat: but in the end everything makes sense.. i suggest u continue watching... maybe you'll get used to it and like it in the end... Bleach is the first "action-packed" anime I've really, as in REALLY, loved! its just so damn amazing! :bow: :victory:

kai_jin yep! so right... Kyo Sohma is in many ways similar to Ichigo... they also have this expression on their face... u know, like, not always smiling... they barely separate their eyebrows... :mrgreen: what really made Kyo appealing to me was his striking similarity to my first ever anime crush-- Tasuki of Fushigi yuugi! kawaii ne! orange hair, bad boy look, hot temper, don't like girls (at first)... :naughty:

im currently addicted to ALICE GAKUEN! Natsume Hyuga and Narumi Sensei are my fave charatcers here... so kawaii... :nut: and i love the fact that Natsume's seiyuu was also my HITSUGAYA TOUSHIROU'S seiyuu in Bleach! now how kewl is that! :woot: i just finished GTO... after how many years.. hehe.. nice anime... kinda similar to Gokusen.. but funnier. :bonk:

I disagree though about Bleach, the show is like 40% fighting, 50% random sillyness (almost childish) and maybe just 10% story? I could sum up the story so far (122 episodes) in like 15 words :bonk:


I picked up a few new shows to watch last week, my recommendations are:
- Darker than Black
- Sola


I didn't like:
- El Cazador de la Bruja (by Bee Train, responsible for shows like Noir and .hack) so yeah, if you like watching shows with overwhelmingly distracting orchestra music than this is your thing, like Monta :hehe:


also I watched "The Girl who leapt in time" at the filmfestival yesterday, and it's totally awesome. keep an eye out for this, as the dvd is out expect a fansub soon.

Tackey & Tsubasa to appear on One Piece anime
Sat, March 31, 2007 (1:47am EDT)

On April 1, Tackey & Tsubasa will make a special guest appearance on the "One Piece" anime series. While their song "Crazy Rainbow" plays during the opening, animated versions of the duo will appear together with Luffy and the other characters.

The song is being released on April 18 as a double A-side single with "X ~Dame~." A limited edition version of the single will feature a special One Piece jacket and a bonus DVD, which includes Tackey & Tsubasa's scene as animated characters.

:bleh:

Noooo! What did Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates do to deserve this torture?! :argh:

Oh well, I might as well skip the opening song and just head on to the story once I get to those episodes with the evil spirit in it. :hehe:

304 as of this coming sinday.

Thanks for the heads up. :) Time to check if there are subs available for those episodes. :mrgreen:

Dear K.T.Tran,
Oic, thanks na...
Im also think it's a short animation, 24 episode not too enough ne.. :mrgreen:
Yup, when i free, i'll try to find out this animation!!

Dear RkoCenaHolic23,
hi, i discover Your siggy since i come in this thread..
Juubantai taichou, HITSUGAYA TOUSHIROU kun!! :victory:
haha....he is my sister favourite character in Bleach.
I like him too coz he is very kakoii but i much more prefer Ishida and Byakuya, ne.. :naughty:

Ya, i agree that Kyo Sohma is in many ways similar to Ichigo, the only one different is their eyes colour..hahaa :hehe:

:rofl: i'm getting this one!

oh... i love BeeTrain. Moreover, i love overwhelmingly distracting orchestra music :smitten: :rofl:

thx for the recommendation (sort of :hehe: )

^
for Bleach, i also think it doesn't have a story. it's just fighting, you know, obsticles here and there and then you reach a near-death situation, but they can get through it.

and then the characters grow stronger and stronger by some sort of deadly training ("once you get in, you can never get out, yu can even die inside, and you might turn into a 'whatever-you-call-the-monsters-in-Bleach' forever") and saying stuff like, "but I have to become stronger, so i can protect the people i care about".

and the weapons gets upgraded and upgraded. the only thing i like about bleach is that it has so many characters and all of them gets attention

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

by the way, i've just finished reading One Piece, the part where Robin revealed her past. believe it or not... i nearly cried

sugoi...

I was one of left-behind nakamas - [K-F] finally closed the gap and subbed up to 223 now, from there I could finally watch Gerusama's 224-257, then ADC's 258-294 and 294-306 by Vegapunk. I first hesitated, because I got episodes from other groups before and they sucked, but to my surprise I think Gerusama's are my favorite subs, and Vegapunk is up on par with [K-F] even. So I watched like more than 80 episodes last week :crazy:

And this arc has been great, even though it's being dragged on like DBZ episodes, the Robin story is awesome! and the Water 7 characters are really interesting too. I love it how the mayor goes mmaaa~ and Franky is really cool.

my friend just told me that Sola is really good. and he told me that i shouldn't watch Bruja coz it has too much talk and rather boring, but he's gonna download the OST for me :rofl:

ROFL, there's too much talk? I couldn't hear anything cos I was distracted BY THE MUSIC! :doh: :hehe:

and yeah, I think Sola is interesting enough, though my opinion few posts earlier was after watching episode 1+2. I hope it's not turning into a typical "10girls try to hog 1 boy" show.

if anyone is into Neon Genesis Evangelion, Stikfas is coming out with some special edition Eva toys.

oh LOLs. well he said it was kinda like .hack roots

opens mouth->blabs->music comes up->music stops->open mouth again

lack of action.

but he didn't recommend darker than black to me, seems like he doesn't think i'd like it.

i'm getting Sola when i come to his house *i'm such a leecher :ashamed: never download anything myself except for mp3s :hehe: *

When I saw him in ep 34... i melted! he's so cool and cute... and he have this aura of a cold bad boy outside... but inside, he's a real softie esp towards Hinamori... i just LOVE everything about him... :victory: i've actually managed to spend almost 600 pesos buying everything that has TOUSHIROU's face in it in a shop here in the Phils. called Comic Alley... that's how crazy I am... :nut: hehe... I like Byakuya too... next to toushirou of course... very HANDSOME guy... :naughty: Ishida? hmmm... i dunno but there's something about him... that i dont like... :mrgreen:

about BLEACH well, i respect you opinions monta and terry :victory: i cant stop u from not liking bleach... but i REALLY LOVE it. regardless of all the facts that u just pointed out (like random sillyness and only 10% story... :bonk: ) Maybe I am silly to like it so much... but I just DO... :beaten:

Guys a subbed version of Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo (aka The girl who leapt through time) was released yesterday. The torrent is up, and I posted it to the newsgroups too.

Go get it :woot:

Was watching Hellsing Ultimate OVA volume 3 yesterday and it was very good. :good: As expected, the latest anime version of Hellsing is much loyal to the manga compared to the previous anime version. Can't wait for the next episode to be released. :woot:

Currently watching Basilisk and Atashinchi aired by my local tv station..

i've recently watched this anime called "KARIN"... dunno if u guys know about that... :sweat: not sure if its popular... but its a GREAT anime... :applaud: I LOVE IT! It's about a vampire named Karin who, instead of being a "blood sucker" like any other ordinary vampire, she is a "blood-maker"... whenever she don't bite people, she have this insanely oveflowing nosebleed... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I dunno but I really love any drama, anime, story or movie about vampires... and Im so loving Karin's onii-san REN! :muack: so kawaii! :naughty: what's more interesting about this is that Karin's love interest, REALLY looks like Ichigo... except for his hair color (it's sand-colored) :bonk: So i kinda relate it to bleach... :hehe: :nut: so this one is now one of my fave animes... but the DVD where i watched it doesn't have the full eps... so im still stuck up on ep 16... :grumble: anywayz, Im kinda liking THE LAW OF UEKI too... been watching it for more than a week now on one of our local channel..
