Bleach 417-now: Thoughts.

It's pretty interesting, though a little boring. Ichigo came back, and beat up Aizen pretty much. He used the finished Getsuga; however, it caused him to lose all his shinigami powers. I don't know whether or not he has his hollow ones. Kisuke came out of nowhere and Aizen was sealed. Kisuke put a seal in him so when his power was weakened he would be sealed.

I find it interesting that during Aizens sentencing they don't sentence him to death. The man who became very powerful and wanted to dethrone the "god" pretty much wasn't killed, it just makes no sense. He says a few mean words and they sentence him to a few more years. It's pretty anti climatic.

Ichigo spends the time sleeping and when he wakes up is surrounded by his friends, he says goodbye to Rukia who disappears as they look around at some sentimental crap. Ichigo lost his shinigami powers which means he can't see any of his shinigami friends.

He goes back to school and everything is relatively normal. He bumps into a guy who got his bag stolen, Ichigo fights the robber and gets the bag back. The man I believe also has a substitute shinigami badge and he knows about Ichigo. We still don't know who he is.

The most recent chapter wasn't all that exciting. Ichigo has a job and is working to make money and now there is a big fight going on and some mystery shadowy guy is suppose to come up in the next chapter, and probably beat everyone up.

Bleach 417

Summary:

Short one, since not much happened.

Ichigo  is back, he's extremely cool and calm. He's a little taller and his hair is a bit longer, probably due to the extended time, I'm not sure. Aizen says he's disappointed in him, for even if he was suppressing his reiatsu, to feel nothing is impossible. Ichigo request that they change locations but Aizen begins saying it's not necessary and that only a person strong enough to fight him can suggest such things. Ichigo grabs him by his face and flies him off to somewhere secluded, surprising Aizen completely.

Review:

I love the new Ichigo, calm and collected and rather cool looking. I can't wait to see an actual fight.

Bleach 416

Summary:

Gin talks to Aizen about past, Aizen kills gin, Rangiku remembers stuff and runs to Gin who is pretty much dead. He's glad he said sorry he says. Short summary, but that's all that happened. At the end, Ichigo is back in new bankai form! ooo

Thoughts:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I wanted Gin to be alive, I liked him, I liked his abilities. I am annoyed with that KT decided to do with Gin, it's so petty. I would have loved to see him just wanting power and overtaking Aizen for that reason alone. I wanted him to be a true psychopath, that would be cool; however, that's not the case. As far as Ichigo goes, yay. He's in a new form, hopefully the fight wont drag out for another month or two and we'll be able to see a dead Aizen and a flash forward.

Naruto and Bleach

Being as there is a festival the new bleach and naruto chapters will be out next week. Since I'm not actually reading much besides those two manga at the moment. I'll be posting next week. Perchance I should have timed my return a little better.

And I'm back

Okay so I'm back, hello. I took a bit of a hiatus from Japanese entertainment. I didn't read or watch much manga and anime. That's pretty much it. I'll be reading and watching again. Well reading, not so much watching. So I'll be talking about manga.

I need to do a review of Love Hina, one of my favorite harem. I'll be doing that later on this month.

That's all.

It's around that time.

So I'm on holiday, which is why I've yet to post my bleach 410 and naruto 500 review/summary.

Anyway, it's around that time that I stop watching the bleach anime. I only ever watch bleach when there is something major in the manga i really want to see, or when there is a really good filler arch, which is rare. Instead of doing bleach weekly I'll be focusing on another anime or two.

Bleach - Deicide 11 - 409 - Review/Summary

Computer trouble has left by blog inaccessible, but that'll be a problem no more.

Summary:

Ichigo is in this inner world but this time it's different. For one he's under water, and secondly Tensa Zangetsu, not Zangetsu, is there. Tensa is much younger than Zangetsu, looks about Ichigo's age. Because Ichigo entered his inner world in Bankai, he gets to meet Tensa. His father says again to watch out as Zangetsu may get violent and goes on to say his Engetsu was the same.

We go back to Ichigo whose saying he doesn't want to fight. He says he just wants to ask him something, but Tensa Zangetsu already knows what it is and says she can't teach him the final getsuga. Ichigo tells him that he needs to know so that he can protect Karakura but Tensa pretty much says he doesn't care about the same things Ichigo does, he says what Ichigo wants to protect isn't what he wants to protect.

Quick cut to Aizen whose walking through town. A drunken man wanders to him and falls due to his spiritual pressure. He notices Tatsuki, and the chapter ends.


Thoughts:

Good chapter. First chapter that didn't have much progressive fighting that I've enjoyed in a while. I find it interesting that both Ichigo and his father use the same attack even though Ichigo wields Zangetsu and his father Engetsu. I'd love to see the relationship between the swords in the future. This final getsuga better be something nice looking. Ichigo just doesn't have any flash ability. His attacks don't look very nice, he pretty much is ridiculously strong and beats things down, where is the style though?

Bleach - Deicide 10 - 408 - Review/Summary

Summary:

This chapter was pretty much an informative one. Isshin gets Ichigo to meditate so that he can commune with his sword. We don't actually get to that part in this chapter, that's on hold for the next. Instead we watch as two of Ichigo's friends make their way around town, which was been moved to somewhere in the mountains.

Isshin explains to Ichigo that time inside of the Dangai flows differently than outside. 2000 hours = 1 hour in the real world. With the Janitor gone this give Ichigo ample time to learn the final Getsuga Tensho. He goes on to explain that the Janitor picks up and spits people out at random times, sometimes at a century later, which destroys the body due to rapid ageing. Apparently when we saw Ichigo and his friends first arrive in soul society they were caught by the Janitor and spat out slightly ahead by a few days, thanks to Urahara's skills.

The current in the Dangai traps and kills people but Isshin can stop is with a simple technique. Isshin embeds 4 spike like things with ropes that are attached to his arms, into the current of the Dangai, with his reiatsu he can hold back the current for 3 months/2000 hours. Ichigo goes into his inner world and Isshin says "watch out, this time Zangetsu might get violent" and off to the next chapter we wait!

Thoughts:

Informative. I would like, when they do these informative chapters, if they just took a week and a half or two, to come out with a new chapter, so we could have the informative and the action.


Last week I didn't post about Deicide 9. Nothing much happened, so there really wasn't much to post about.

Naruto - A New Seal - 499 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Naruto's new seal relaxes him and he feels very calm.  He mother tells him she loves him and he feels "super happy". The chakras she used to hold the Kyubi wont last very long and Naruto acts quickly. He uses shadow clones, and goes in sage model. All of his shadow clones use rasengan. The new skill is called "Senpo Cho Odama Rasen darengan" Super size rapid fire rasengan. Naruto goes in with another rasengan and his clones begin pulling the kyubi's chakras. He absorbs it, but the Kyubi still has some power. He starts massing a giant black ball of condensed chakra. Naruto opens the seal on his stomach and a wooden cage captures the kyubi. Kushina says she can now go back to Minato, but before she does she's going to tell Naruto about his past. She then reveals she was the last jinchuuriki of the Kyubi.

Thoughts:

Pretty good chapter. I actually enjoyed this one. There was nothing annoying about it, except for the fact Naruto's mom is like Sakura and Naruto. I don't get why this series can't seem to have a female character that's more lady like but still just as strong. It's a little annoying.

Bleach - The Approaching Breath of Death, the King Who Rules Over Death! - 275 - review/summary

Summary:

Hitsugaya uses Hyouten Hyakkasou, it's a basic technique but it's very powerful. He can use it safely now though because his bankai isn't as powerful as it was, which is evident in the 1 and a 1/4 flower behind his back. Black clouds roll in and a huge hole opens  where mass amounts of snow falls, Harribel uses cascade but it's helpless, the water turns to ice and shatters. Snow falls and as it hits her and the ground flowers sprout, and she becomes encased in ice.

The second half of the show focuses on Soi Fon and Baraggan, who, after Ulquiorra, is my favorite espada. Soifon and pathetic Omaeda attack him to ill effect. Soi Fon's kicks are slowed as she approaches contact with Baraggan, as he has the ability to control time/age. They fight a bit, he touches her shoulder which leads to her arm breaking. They devise a plan and when it would seem it would work, Omaeda, pathetic as he is, abandons Soi Fon and runs to hide. Sure he was in danger of dieing, but it's for his captain and the better good!

Omaeda comes back when Soi Fon is obviously about to be killed. Baraggan says that they're prepared to die and decides to release!

Once he comes out of release he touches down on the building, instantly it begins to decay. He uses respira which is pretty much a black/purple fog of death. It's quick enough to keep up with Soi Fon and it braises her hand. The skin on her hand and arm begins to deteriorate. She screams for Omaeda to cut off her arm and he comes and does so. The arm falls on the ground and the bones deteriorate. 

Thoughts:

Great episode. I love baraggan, he's my second favorite character. I find him cooler than Ulquiorra when it comes to attacks, but I prefer Ulquiorra's personality. Baraggan is ridiculously arrogant and "superior". He speaks a lot of death and such but he's a bit hypocritical.

Naruto - 498 - Mom's red hair

Summary:

This is going to be pretty short, because well, not much happened. Naruto meets his mother! Who unfortunately is just like him. I don't like Naruto, so naturally I don't like his mother, who he is so similar to. She says dattebane instead of dattebayo at the end of her sentences. It just comes out when she's flustered. They talk about her past and how she fell in love with her father, and then Naruto stands. The next chapter is going to be when they fight the Kyuubi

Thoughts:

I'm not a huge fan of Naruto, but I've been reading it for so long I just can't 'not' read it. I didn't enjoy this chapter much. I didn't like his mother much. His mother is like Sakura as well, and I detest Sakura.

About the Drama I'll be reviewing in the future.

I wont just be doing Japanese dramas, despite this being a Japanese Entertainment blog. Korean dramas are big in Japan though. I'll be reviewing Japanese, Korean, Thai, Chinese, etc. in the future.

Zettai Kareshi (absolute boyfriend) and Hana Kimi I'll be reviewing later. Two of my personal faves.

Bleach - Episode 274 - Hitsugaya's Desperate Frozen-Heavens Countless Ornate Entombment! - Review and Summary

Summary:

The majority of the episode was focussed around Harribel and Hitsugaya. Harribel releases and fires some water at Hitsugaya, who turns it into ice. When Hitsugaya attacks back Harribel turns his ice dragon into water and attacks back surprising him, using her special technique, cascade.

Hitsugaya attacks again, Harribel turns his ice into water, then Hitsugaya appears behind her and turns the water back into ice and slashes at her. Encasing her in ice. There is a short break from Hitsugaya and Harribel's fight and we see Kyoraku and Spark who are pretty much fake fighting. Kyoraku gets Spark to use his cero, which is a nice deep blue.

Then we go back to the right between Hitsugaya and Harribel who uses her cero, which interestingly enoug she fires with her sword.

Hitsugaya shields himself using the wings of his bankai. When Harribel catches back up to him she tells him no more running. He informs her he knows they're both waiting for the area to fill with water but says after that he doesn't need to wait, just when it look like he's about to go all out, he looks down and notices all the injured and decides against it, instead he uses sennen hyoro and encases her in ice, but of course that doesn't work and she turns it all into ice and uses cascade again, except this one is much more powerful since there was a lot more ice to be made into water.

Hitsugaya uses ryusenka and turns the massive cascade into ice, which takes a lot out of him. He crashes down to the ground, his wings barely holding. Harribel comes saying he made a sacrifice but then cold air comes, his wings reform, black clouds roll in, and Hitsugaya says the heavens are under his control. Hyoten Hyakkaso!! TO BE CONTINUED...

Thoughts:

Great episode, I love Hitsugaya and it was nice seeing him fight with the majority of his abilities. Harribel is great fun to watch to, I like her character. I can't wait till next week, whilst I did read it, I really would love to see it.

Bleach - Chapter 406 - Deicide 8 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Isshin's huge getsuga tensho leaves Aizen bleeding but he has no real damage. He says to them it's time they understand his power. There seems to be a surge or reiatsu behind Ichigo, who looks back, and it's over for the trio. Instantly bested. Gin says some words that put Ichigo down even further, and Aizen shows up just when Gin was pulling out his sword. Gin says he was just trying to test him.

Aizen says the chrysalis stage is over, and for the first time in a few chapters we see his face again. Now he will be able to see the downfall of soul society with his eyes, he says. they open the gate and begin to leave. Aizen says he'll eat Ichigo.

Thoughts:

So Aizen couldn't see the whole time he was inside that chrysalis, interesting. I wish there was more of an explanation with Isshin's getsuga tensho, something on it, anything. Aizen seems so god like and Ichigo seems so pathetic now, it's kind of annoying. He's like a male orihime atm.

Bleach - 273 - Fury of the Shark! Halibel Releases - Review/Summary

Summary:

Very early in the show Yammy releases, showing that he's number 0, the strongest espada. He turns into this weird giant humntipede (human/centipede). He's extremely resilient in this form. He's the only espada that can increase his reiatsu by simply sleeping and eating, which is a little weird. We then go back to Karakura town where Soi Fon and Hitsugaya are having some trouble fighting. Harribel unzips her top to show she is number three. She begins attack Hitsugaya. She releases and attacks him cutting him in half, but really it's just an ice clone.

There is a small comedy moment when Soi Fon and Omaeda are against Baraggan. Omaeda goes on about how they need to release their true strength because when in the real world their reiatsu is cut; however, we find out that the restriction was never placed. The episode ends with Hitsugaya telling Harribel to not under estimate them.

Thoughts:

Well, I already read this. I wasn't really looking forward to reading this. I only really cared about Ichigo going full hollow. It's not bad though, just was pretty boring to me. Not much progression was made at all, I hope they don't start fillers soon.

Working!! - Episode 1 - Review/Summary

Summary:

It beings with the main character Poplar Taneshima greeting two customers. In the kitchen we find out that they need to hire and new cook. They send Taneshima  out to do the work. She asked all her friends at school but they all turn her down and she posted an ad but noone responded. While she was running through the street she bumps into the other main Character Souta Takenashi who Taneshima often calls Katanashi. He mistakes her for a grade schooler and ask where her parents are, she tells him and begins to tell him the family business, the resturant, needs a part time worker. He thinks it's a make beleive resturant. Taneshima pulls out her school ID which shows her as 17 and makes her Takenashi's sempai. Takenashi seems bothered at first that she's oldedr than him but so small. He thinks whether it's acceptable for him to like her being that she looks 12 but is really 17. He decides it is and begins work

At his first day of work he introduces himself to Taneshima and Shirafuji Kyouko (the assistant manager who's scary looking). Taneshima begins to train him but because she is so small she has to ask for help from others. When placing cups and trying to pick up dishes to put in the wash she's quite pathetic.

While in the back one day the other workers and the assistant manager tell him that if he has a love affair she'll have to schedule them so they don't work together.  Takanashi denies that it will ever happen because he simply love small things and he rather would think of himself as Taneshima's father. He then starts naming small things and equates Taneshima to a Daphinia, they decide he's really weird.

While Takanashi and Kyouko are in the kitchen he ask her how old she is. When she says 28 he says she's quite old. Kyouko gets pissed and makes sure he works 7 days a week. She teases him saying "you're quite young". Takanashi doesn't understand why she's doing this to him until he beings to speak to Taneshima who points it out. During that conversation we find out that anything above 12 is too old.  Later in the episode a couple boys are picking on Taneshima, Kyouko kicks one them in the chest. One of the cooks passes Takanashi her cell phone so he can bring it to her. She makes a call tellling whoever she is talking to, to take all their money.

The episode ends when Takanashi gets to work with Inami Mahiru, whose androphobic. She attacks Takanashi instantly. The whole time they never met because Kyouko tried to keep them separate but she apparently messed up.

Review:

Love it so far. It's funny funny and airy. It's been a while since I've watched an anime like this. I guess it's like chobits without the supernatural stuff. At least that's my first impression. It was a fun watch and I really look forward to watching more.

Character thoughts:

Taneshima: Funny, cute, oblivious, and naive.  It's just fun to watch her interactions with the other characters.

Takanashi is fun. He seems very kind hearted and seems to have a loli fetish. Since apparently anything above 12 is too old .

jun satou and Hiroomi Souma: Jun Satou seems the cool type and Hiroomi Souma seems fun and talkative. Didn't seem much of them in this episode so not much to say.

Kyouko: Easily one of my favorite characters right now.

Working

This week I will be watching another anime besides Bleach. Which will be Working!! It seems pretty interesting. Hopefully it will be.

Bleach 405 - Deicide 7 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Matsumoto is running to the fighting area to see Gin is how it starts, then we go to the main story. Ichigo is on the ground and Gin tells him he should run. Urahara attacks Aizen with a low level kido attack. Aizen figures out it's just a distraction as Yoruichi burst through the attack and goes after Aizen. Aizen grabs her hand and Yoruichi punches him using Shunko.  He says she can't defeat him. Urahara comes into battle and starts using some cool benihime attacks, that entrap and set him ablaze. Isshin appears behind him and uses Getsuga Tensho.

Thoughts:

I was hoping that his father would say Getsuga ----- something else, so it'd be like their zanpakutous are brothers or related vs being the same Getsuga Tensho is such a boring attack, powerful, but boring. I enjoyed it though. Liked seeing Urahara's attacks.

Bleach 272 - Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra, Conclusion! - Review/Summary

Summary:

Rukia, Sado, and Renji are cotinueing their fight with Rudobon. They come up with a plan and attack him. Sado and Renji attacked him, bringing attention off Rukia, who used frozen tree and froze him. Within moments of him being frozen Yammy burst out of from inside and pretty much smashes Rudobon in the process. Yammy is biggger than he was before because he's very upset. Suddenly Ichigo's cero burst through the ceiling. Rukia questions if this is Ichigo's reiatsu.

We go back up to the top and Ichigo is pretty much gone. Ulquiorra's body is in pretty bad shape. All that's left was an arm and his head on his torso. Ichigo tosses him and then walks over and gets ready to stab him through the throat. Ishida grabs his arm saying that he's not going to be himself if he does it. FH Ichigo gets pissed and throws his zanpakutou through Ishida whose knocked back. He then keeps repeating that he has to help them. Orihime starts blaming everything on herself.

Ichigo begins to fire a cero at Ishida but Ulquiorra comes back and cuts off one of his horns causing his cero to circle around and explode. Ichigo's mask also breaks and he passes out. A light appears above Ichigo and turns into a tornado and then dives into Ichigo's hole that's in his chest. Then he wakes up. He feels bad for what he's done.

Ulquiorra passes him his sword and says he wants to finish the fight but Ichigo yells for him to cut off his arm and leg to make it fair. Not to long later Ulquiorra begins to disappear into what looks like black smoke. His internal organs were all damaged and he didn't have much time left. A flashback begins of Orihime and Ulquiorra talking about her heart. He reaches out to her and ask her if she's scared like he did before. Orihime begins to cry and answers that she's not scared how she did before. Ulquiorra has some inner dialouge and says he sees where he heart was. It was in his hands. Then he fully disappears

Thoughts:


wahhhhh. I loved Ulquiorra. I know he died like ages ago becasue I read it but that doesn't make it any less sad. The anime was sadder than the manga. Why couldn't Ulquiorra be like Grimjow? We don't know he's dead and we're not sure he's a live! Overall I liked the episodes, even if the latter part was depressing.

Doubt - 5-9 Review/summary

Summary:

So I wrote a longer review and summary but it all got deleted and... I'm going to summarize my summary.

They are back to square one after the killing the guy that they thought was the murderer. Yuu beings tearing off the clothes from the man that died and uses his barcode to open a door and leads to the outside, kind of. The windows have bars on them. In the room there are some files and Haruka looks at them. She seems surprised by something she finds and instantly leaves the room. She goes to the bathroom where Mitsuki is and stabs her with a scalpel and locks her inside. Yuu hears her scream and goes to the bathroom and outside is Haruka standing.

She hands him the files for her to read and he is also surprised. Mitsuki who said that she wasn't playing the game apparently had a file on her. Haruka says that Yuu and Mitsuki are both wolves and are working together. She then ask about his barcode which of course he doesn't have. Yuu admits he's lied about having a barcode and they tie him up in the survalance room whilst they look for clues. They both leave the room, Hajime and Haruka that is, to continue searching. Yuu can see everyone on the cameras except Hajime. Soon he sees the murderer killing Eiji. He gets out of the room and goes looking for Eiji, along the way he runs into Hajime who unties him. There is a phone in the room and it's too dangerous for Hajime to do it so he has Yuu does it. Yuu brings back the phone with a little present attached, Eiji's cut off hand.

Yuu attacks Hajime and ties him up saying he couldn't see him when Eiji was attacked. He finds Mitsuki and patches her up a bit. They go back to the room lookin for clues and come upon a book that has a page missing, which Hajime took. Hajime said he was going to show them the page but Yuu attacked him before he had the chance. The page is a news paper article about a boxing gang, which Eiji was the leader of. A big fight broke out with many injured and one dead. The one dead person was found by "Shoujo-H" Which Hajime deduced to be Haruka. He says that Haruka killed Eiji because he inadvertently killed her lover. Yuu says he will trust his friends and they go off to try and find Haruka. They get to the last door, which is locked and yell outside of it for Haruka. Mitsuki gets a call on the phone and it's apparently Haruka who says "for the one I love" then hangs up. The door unlocks and when they go inside it's filled with bunny heads, nooses, and the axe that killed Eiji. At the end of the last room is another door, this one with wooden barricades, which are all open.

Thoughts:

Liked theses chapters, Haruka was annoying. Haven't liked her much since I started reading. If Hajime really isn't the killer he should try to be a little more human. If Haruka really is the killer, she's crazy. Shooting the guy you hate in an alley is way less conspicuous than building a game, locking people in a building, and killing them all off one by one.

Naruto 495 - Dark Naruto Destroyed - Review/Summary

Summary:

This is going to be short.

Naruto and Bee get along now and Naruto as usual has the ability to just lure people to him. They talk for a bit and rap, then they go back to the waterfall. Naruto goes back into his heart and speaks to dark Naruto this time.  His dark self speaks about how the people of the village were mean to him and how he should hold onto his hate. His dark self looks like he's going to attack him but Naruto hugs him thanking him for what he's done but that it's enough. Then he dissapears! Naruto comes back out and then Bee shows them behind the waterfall, where Naruto is suppose to fight the Kyuubi.

Thoughts:

Okay chapter. I wasn't terribly thrilled at all but whatever.

Bleach 404 - Deicide 6 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Aizen starts speaking to Yoruichi, Urahara, and Isshin, about how he's going to kill them pretty much. There is some mild comedy about Yoruichi's shoe which dissapeared wich much have been special because her whole leg didn't get cut off when Aizen countered in the last chapter.  Yoruichi waits for Aizen to attack and when he does she is surprised by it. A huge pillar of whatever happens when he hits her and we cut to Ichigo and Gin.

Gin comes up behind Ichigo telling him that he's open but that he should just relax and watch the fight, saying that since Aizen gone all hyogoku there is no hope.  Ichigo says that he doesn't know what'll happen to him with Aizen like that. Gin taunts him saying he's admitted he'll be dead and has given up.

Gin begins to attack Ichigo with his uber long sword which goes back to normal size in at instant. He uses a new attack which, if we go by it's name, extends multiple swords. This prompts Ichigo to go hollow. We then see Kira lying on the ground and Rangiku running to see gin.

Thoughts:

Slow moving but good chapter. Aizen didn't really say anything exciting or new to really justify the lack of action but it was still a good chapter. I'd like to point out that in my last post about the bleach manga, the last picture showed Aizen fused together with his sword. Exactly what happened this week? He's suddenly unfused with it with no explanation as to what just happened? Gin and Ichigo's fight was okay for me. I really love Gin and I'm happy to see him fight now. His personality is just fun. Kira in this chapter I don't mind but Rangiku I don't like very much. I haven't been much of a Rangiku fan since I first started watching bleach. I don't know what it is about her, but I don't get why she's so high rank when she really doesn't seem to be that strong. Then again I haven't seen many strong people from Toshiro's squad except for Toshiro himself.

Oh well. Next week I feel it's going to be a talk chapter with Aizen and Isshins crew, and Rangiku and Gin. Not really looking forward to it, unless there are some new revalations. Hopefully Rangiku doesn't go there and go all. "we were friends!" That'll really get to me.

Bleach 271 - Ichigo Dies! Orihime, the Cry of Sorrow!

Summary:

The first five minutes of the show go over what happened last week. Ichigo getting beaten up, Inoue and Ishida seeing Ichigo get a hole blown into his chest. Ishida begins to fight with Ulquiorra but to no avail. Ishida is easily bested. Inoue sat around saying "kurosaki-kun, kurosaki-kun, doushiyo, doushiyo" over and over. Really got to me. Eventually full hollow Ichigo pops up when Inoue says "Kurosaki-kun save us" and then bam! The action starts.

FH Ichigo is ridiculously strong, as expected. The first thing he does is shoot off a cero at Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra's cero is bested and he just can't beleieve it. FH Ichigo does it again and Ulquiorra is yet again in disbelief. He brings out his trump weapon, Lanza Del Ralampago, basically a nuke in spear form. His first shot missed and did a shit load of damage to the area behind FH Ichigo, FH Ichigo starts to really attack Ulquiorra who is in shock that he just used Sonido, the hollow way of quick moving. Ulquiorra beings fighting with his Lanza Del Ralampago which FH Ichigo destroys with one hand. After he breaks the spears he makes a slash and pretty much defeats Ulquiorra, then he does something not Ichigo like and fires a point blank cero to kill him.

Thoughts:

I read it but it doesn't compare to watching it! FH Ichigo is for the win! He's ridiculously powerful. I really wonder how strong he is in comparison with hogyoku Aizen. Maybe around the same? All I know is it's ridiculous. The episode was fantastic, I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time. Sure we got to see FH Ichigo during the last filler arc but it doesn't compare to the REAL FH Ichigo.

I feel sorry for Ulquiorra, but not reall. I really liked him, I like green.

So the next episodes, if there are to be no fillers, should deal with Fake Karakura. Can't wait!

FH Ichigo's beauty shot lol.

Claymore 103 - Review/Summary

Summary:

So this chapter starts where the last one ended. With Priscilla fighting Dauf. Fun fun, lots of action!

Priscilla is very nonchalant as usual, defending poorly, getting broken to pieces and even ask for a break. It was quite funny. While she is sitting down breaking to pieces she begins to remember her cutting off Teresa's head but she can't remember her face. She slowly beings to remember and she gets up quickly defeating Dauf.




Thoughts:

Enjoyed it. Was a great great chapter. I enjoy Priscilla's deadly, amazing, ridiculous strength and the story is well, enjoyable. At the moment the only thing that I'm a touch annoyed about is the fact it's a monthly release. I am very interested in the other part of the story, that being they are simply experiments and there is a real war going on. I want to know!  I can deal with waiting for now, but for only so long.

Doubt - Chapters 3-4

Summary

Early on in the chapter Eiji accuses Hajime of being the killer. His reasoning was that he doesn't like people who can see right through them. Interesting. Hajime insinuates that Eiji is the one that people should suspect being that  Yuu went missing when he went went to see where Eiji went off to. Eiji goes crazy and Mitsuki slaps him. Eiji prepares to punch Mitsuki in the face (woman beater!!), but Yuu sticks his face in the way.  The panel with Eiji's fist in Yuu's face is pretty funny. So he gets punched in the face and bleeds, then bleeds some more and passes out. Then we see that very Sawish panel of the bunny looking at screens.

When Yuu wakes back up he is in a different area. He was moved as everyone else began to explore. Eiji was locked away in a room after he didn't follow instructions and went off on his own and opened a door to a bathroom.  There is a little spat between the group over whether or not they overreacted to locking up Eiji. Yuu agrees but I do not believe he would have if he had a barcode like everyone else.

Yuu says that he has to go to the bathroom and when he does he begins to search his body for a barcode, which of course could not be found, because he doesn't have one.

They go off and find a room which Hajime opens. The room looks like a creepy abandoned hospital room. They continue through and find the man in the rabbit head! End of chapter 3.

So the chapter 4 starts off with where 3 left off, behind the man in the rabbit head! Yuu sneaks up behind the man and pokes him with a stick. He falls out of his chair and is unconscious. Mister Rabbit Head was shot up with lots of morphine. Yuu wonders what type of person he was and takes off his rabbit head. The man has a few scares on his face. Yuu begins to get paranoid when it is mentioned there is a door they would open with his barcode, which we all know doesn't exist.

The rabbit head man, who's now without his head wakes up and goes nuts and attacks Yuu. Yuu kicks him and he spits up some blood. Hajime discovers a thumbtack inside of the mask which he suspects had a fast attacking posion in the case the mask was taken off. Yuu begins to feel guilty saying he's killed the man but Hajime assures him it would have happened anyway being that one of them would have taken off the mask.

In the end the game hasn't ended, dun dun dun.

Thoughts:

Great chapters, good volume. I enjoyed it. Eiji is a bit annoying. He's just... stupid and reacts based on emotions too much. It wouldn't be so bad if his emotions weren't so out of whack. I prefer Hajime, he's probably one of my favorite characters. He's logically and calculated, reminds me of myself.

Later this week, or next week volume 2 will be reviewed.

Naruto - Chapter 494

Summary:

This is going to be a short one.

It's a flashback chapter. Motoi tells them about when he was younger. The 8 tails was put into multiple people; however, none of them could control it and it caused much death. Motoi and most of the villagers hated Bee for being the jinchuuriki. Motoi tried to kill him a few times but he was pretty pathetic at it so of course he never actually did.

There are a few same old flashbacks of Naruto as a kid being bullied and then one panel of them praising him. A giant squid appears and Naruto thinks it's bee but it's pointed out that it's a squid, and then bee comes to save the day. Motoi confesses to Bee and bee just says "Say what! You did?" and smiles.

Thoughts:

Boring and pretty annoying. The only good part about this weeks chapter was the squid which was funny for half a second. I'm not an action junkie, I like story, but this was just slow and boring. Some parts of it just seemed pointless to me. Like the giant squid, or Motoi confessing he tried to kill Bee. He was what, five years old?! That's a hell of a long time ago. I don't think he's going to throw out the friendship for something that happened eons ago. It just seems silly. Maybe it's just me but everyone in this chapter seemed overly dramatic.

Hopefully next week will be better and hopefully Naruto will finally make a move to master the Kyuubi.

Bleach - Deicide 5 - Chapter 403

Summary:

This chapters starts with the massive explosion of Aizen's own reiatsu. Everyone is shocked by the attack but Urahara tells them basically that, that's not all it'll take. Aizen comes back in his new weird alien looking fully Hogyoku and says that if  he wasn't his new self that he would have been defeated. Urahara draws his sword and Isshin attacks Aizen, who by the way, is of course very fast. They manage to get chains around his and race to either side. Aizen takes this as childs play saying "what mockery is this"! This made way for the entrance of YORUICHI!!! Who lands on top of him blasting him with what looks to be her signature, shunko. Awesome explosion, probably the best entrance I've seen. Of course nothing is over because this is Aizen we're talking about. He comes back and attacks Yoruichi taking some of the frabric off her foot. it ends with Aizen saying he's going to crush each one of them. Also he's still evolving, on the last page his sword is merged with him.

Thoughts:

Lovely chapter, love the action, and I loved Yoruichi's entrance. Easily one of my favorite entrances, and I'm not just saying that because I love Yoruichi. It was a very entertaining chapter. I'm just wondering when is Aizen going to stop evolving. Can't wait till next week.

Doubt - Chapter 2 - Game Start

Summary:

It starts with Rei's dead body staked to the wall, just how it ended in chapter 1. The boy with the glasses they figure out is Hajime. He was suppose to show up to the meeting in chapter 1 but the location was changed and he missed them, so he said. Haruka comes into the room and meets the group. She was behind a locked door in the dark, thanks to her fumbling around she managed to somehow scan her barcode, which was placed there by whoever took them, and opened the door. They all find their barcodes and figure out they're used to open doors. Yuu asked about everyones memories but no one remembers anything.

Yuu and Hajime decide to go explore a bit and run into a dark room with some stairs. As they go down they run into a very creepy looking Eiji who was holding a flashlight. Eiji was already down there and just happened to find the flashlight at the same time Yuu was looking for one. They attacked Eiji and ran out of the room. Once they were back in the room Eiji showed up. Who also didn't remember anything.

A text message comes in on Rei's phone and Yuu goes to get it, Eiji snatches the phone away from him saying he wants to make a call, but there is no signal. He opens the text message which says "game start". They argue for a moment with Hajime about whether this is really rabbit doubt or not and then the chapter ends with a very Sawish picture.

Thoughts:

I liked this chapter. I thought there would be more action but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it and looking forward to reading the rest of it.
