Bleach is an anime that has been one of my favourite shows to date. The episodes I’ve been watching recently threaten to make it the worst, however.
It seems that the manga has not caught up with writing new content until episode 110 and I’m still watching episodes in the early 70s. Let me tell you that around the time everything in Soul Society wraps up the story gets really, really awful!
It’s livable, I suppose but just about everything that defined Bleach as a series other than it’s characters are different. They go on a murder-mystery esque kick for a while until we figure out who a certain trio are an what they’re up to. Then we’re assaulted with a bad vampire story where the vampires are called Bounds (or bounto or something…)
I can’t wait to get back to the Bleach I know and love…
At least the ending theme is fun and not as annoying as “Happy People.”
Ichirin no hana is my favourite intro so far as well.
