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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you're wondering why I don't post anything about Naruto Shippuden, the Anime.

I don't watch it. I never have watched it and I have little desire to watch it. It will be a long time before I watch it being that the things I want to see are happening in the manga now.

Music - Bump of Chicken

I was planning on doing a post this weekend about ZONE, and I still will but I've just got to mention bump of chicken. They're truly a great band. They do primarily rockish music, 1 or 2 of their songs sound pretty country.



Song above is a pretty great song.

Doubt - Chapter 1

Summary:

The manga starts by telling us what the game is. Rabbit doubt. The game consist of several people who are all rabbits but one of them is actually a wolf who kills rabbits. The game group decides to meet in person in this chapter.

Yuu and Mitsuki are the first to meet. Yuu seems like a pretty normal person with no particular outstanding qualities or odd personality traits. Mitsuki seems rather bubbly. When Yuu is rushing to get to the meeting spot he bumps into the tough guy of the seires. Eiji. He's rather rude and says things he really shouldn't he's a drinker and a smoker. Overall stereotypical bad/tough guy. Akechi Haruka seems rather laid back.

While they're all together Eiji starts smoking which prompts Mitsuki to go over and snatch the cigaret out of his mouth. Tell him "no smoking until 20!" She's the child of a cop and has been a class representative since elementary school, so she "has a high sense of seriousness." The last of their group, Rei, a shy girl in a wheel chair comes. Instantly Eiji goes and hits on her, finding her very cute. Yuu ask if he's seen her before and she says no. They all decide to go to a karaoke bar. Yuu ends up alone with Rei and learns that she's really Saimin Shoujo, a famous hypnotise. She doesn't want anyone to know about her past but Yuu was speaking too loudly and it gets out in the room. Eiji exposes her for what she did, which was apparently lying and using easy to trick guys. Rei says she just tried to run away from everything, when she did she got hit by a truck. Eiji leaves to go to the bathroom after having a few too many drinks. Yuu goes to look for him but can't find him, instead he finds a person in a bunny suite who hits him over the head with a wrench. When he wakes up he's in a room with Mitsuki and some guy. He goes to a room that has a slightly open door. When he turns on the light he sees Rei with a stake through her heart.

Thoughts:

I liked the first chapter. It was quite interesting. The action really begins in the second chapter I'm guessing since well, we've just been introduced.

Tekkon Kinkreet - Animated movie - 2006

I'm posting this just to let you all know I will be doing a review on this. I've been busy today so unfortunately, movie Monday didn't go as planned. I have watched the movie and working on the full review and plot summary.

Bleach - Deicide 4 - Chapter 402

So I loved this chapter. I love Kisuke, he's one of my favorite characters if not my favorite character. I've been dieing to see him fight and finally he has!

Kisuke appears and after a short talk Aizen stabs him. Kisuke; however, used his balloon replacement which Aizen thought he wouldn't use since it's a "cheap trick". Whatever Aizen! Being able to control all aspects of a persons senses is probably a cheap but deadly trick.

From here on we get to see some cool kido techniques from Kisuke. I really enjoy when characters fight like this. It's a nice little break from "BANKAI! SLASH SLASH"  It was pretty fun to watch.

Kisuke binds Aizen then attacks him. I really do enjoy fights where no draw of the sword is necessary! After the smoke clears we see a new Aizen! Doesn't seem to be fully complete. Aizen gives Kisuke one hell of a slap when he gets back. Kisuke tells Aizen that he's become careless because of his new power, and Aizen agrees. Kisuke surprises him informing him that he's just sealed off the reiatsu that flows out of his palms. Meaning he will be attacked by his own reiatsu. Overall great chapter, I can't wait until next week. Aizen will be alive and hopefully we get to see a bankai out of Kisuke, that would be quite cool.

Ichigo and Gin made no advancements but both seem taken aback by Kisuke's strength. Hopefully next week doesn't focus back on Ichigo and Gin I want to see more of Kisuke and Aizen! Aizens new form looks like some weird hollow by the way.
