BLEACH
This thread is all about Bleach. Not its (potential sequal)/continuation.
Yes, we all know (as fans especially) it's rumoured of course the anime might continue, but it might never happen. Regardless, I hope they will call it:
Warning: too much bleach may result in hollows in your clothing!
Some might know, but for those who don't: Bleach is (one of) the first proper anime I started watching, alongside with Death Note. At the time a friend of mine was watching it for quite a while, waiting each week for the new episode to come out. When I once saw a part of an episode (where Renji and Ichigo meet in Soul Society for the first time) it didn't really catch my attention by itself as a series, but I did enjoy the style. It was due to this I started to delve into watching anime (Bleach and Death Note, followed by many others for years to come).
You can safely state Bleach found a special place in my heart/mind, but perhaps most oddly enough a character of a filler arc of the anime is my most favourite. (Muramasa)
I intend to have all the manga for myself by slowly building up my collection on Bleach. Especially since after the anime ended, I found out the manga simply continues with so many questions I still have being answered in there, as I didn't feel the anime was explaining all points or characters with what was happening. It was sometimes confusing and often gave me the feeling of 'ooh well, let's just move on and ignore what just happened', which wasn't the intention of the story originally, as one can see if they would continue reading the manga.
ANYWAYS, all this fan-talk aside, I hope to find some Bleach fans on here as well o3o
I know of one person I convinced, which I'm very pleased with. I know with Bleach''s long episode-list and an even longer manga-list, it's quite the task, but... I feel it's worth it. I've been rewatching it now and can't wait for certain events to happen ^^ However, I understand if people like to rather watch shorter anime (or read manga).
Still, I really enjoy how much detail Tite Kubo put into this universe; He thought about there being an afterlife, how it would work, that after death there is still a fight to be fought, various worlds and enemies, a ranking-system, powers and abilities, how spirits don't feel hunger except when they have strong spirit-power (thus being capable of becoming Shinigami), a whole history preceeding when Ichigo and events around him occur, etc.
Some questions as suggestions for you to answer
- So who is/are your favourite character(s) and why?
- Which character(s) do you dislike the most and why?
- Any favourite/least favourite arc? How so?
- Which power or Bankai is the most interesting to you? Any reason for your choice?
- If you would be in the Bleach universe, what would you be and why? (Think of Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow, etc. etc.)
Curious to see if anyone out there also likes Bleach ;3
