So, just to be clear, are all the haters raggin' ALL THE TIME based on a higher standard they got used to in Bleach a long time ago and it's just different now, or are people weighing it against a more general set of criteria of manga altogether?

bleach used to be really gripping, now it's just...super meh

out of all the manga im tracking, bleach is the one i'm least interested in, and i feel im only along with it because i've come this far

I highly doubt that the dog was just there for no purpose
Hey hey, don't go overestimating Kubo here.

Plot progression is still painfully slow. This is one of the few series where I enjoy the anime more than the manga coz it goes faster and, well, action is better animated usually. Here's hoping the story picks up.

bleach is just bad guy godmodes being crushed by
a) a tricky gambit
b) an even more ridiculous godmode/godmode attack coming from hard work and grit or
hidden because kubo didn't actually plan it
c) reinforcements arriving in time and performing a) or b)

pretty art though

New chapter's out, and I'm confused.

If their abilities are so unique, why did ramenloverleaderguywho'snameescapesme say that they all had the same ability in the last chapter? It might have just been a translation error on the last chapter.

Still, it was kinda ok. It wasn't good enough for me to be excited for Bleach every week again, but at least it showed that this arc has at least some potential. Some.

I wouldn't lift any hopes up too much though. We had more or less the same general feeling with the introduction of the Fake Karakura Town arc.

his story may not work well to the taste of many of us, but I certainly would not assume he doesn't plan the actual events of his series ahead of time


I, at least, am glad Chad is getting more attention

yeah i know that much, im just ragging on about how incoherent it sometimes is

if you look at the big picture it sort of resembles a plot

guise should read bakuman instead

I may play devil's advocate for Kubo from time to time, but goddamn, it's getting hard

Kubo needs to stop drawing such large panels. I'll let it slide for fights, but this is just too much.
Bleach is going 1/3 of the speed it should be going.
