Yay! I have access to the interwebz again!
Free time FTW!

Spoiler:

Anime:
I laughed at Omaeda, but for the rest nothing much happened...

Manga:
Ah Yukio is the rich kid. I wonder if he has a game room. Probably.
I was a rather sort chp. but it did started some events.
Ishida is back, Inoue is needed and Ichigo fights Ginjou.
Ichigo is now on his BanKai lvl, so maybe next lvl might resemble his hollow power. Or mugetsu, but that seems unlikely. Still, he is in his human body, so he can die take less damage. Not to mention, he (and others) can be seen.

Mhm. That. It depends on when you happen to pass the range. If you pass when a certain word is said, then you'd have to act out the lyric. If you pass during a gap between 2 words, then even though a line is sung, you'd be excluded.

btw, can I have the link to your Fullbring? :P

Do I get a cookie as a prize?

I see, hmmm....

No
I'll repost it, since I don't know where it's at.

Spoiler:

Fullbring Name: Radiant Aurora

Item: A small LED light

Activation description: I press the button and light fuses with my clothing

Ability Details:
When activated it will fuse/combine with me, giving me the power of light itself. It is displayed as an awesome light pattern on my clothes. That includes traveling at the speed of light (what would appear to be teleportation in the eyes of the beholder) and also the ability to focus the intensity of light; like focused high intensity beams of light or light orbs and such. It can be focused and have either an intense heat or brightness. This only works when the light intensity of the surrounding area is lower then my own or until the battery runs out. Since it is a LED light, the battery lasts for quite a while. The light itself is mostly just bright white, but it can be in all colors.

LED Light; The right one

Yeah sure, why not, Ilp and I just got some new ones. *gives cookies*
Just don't eat them near the 10th squad. Don't ask why.

I'm a huge Bleach fan and I follow the Weekly Shounen Jump online every week to catch up with the manga (I watch the anime relatively sporadically and I don't keep up as well with it as I do with the manga). So, I guess I'm the new member here? Hi guys! :P

Also, Keiri! Thanks minchan.

Welcome to the Bleach Fan Club, Zaspien! I am the lieutenant of the 12th Squad, Rasencero.

Nobody else voted on the battle between Squad 11 & 12? There are enough people. Besides only 5 more battles.
Sqaud 12 has 2 votes, Squad 11 none.

Btw, Binary, have you made a zanpakuto yet? Like Ilp said, depending on its abilities you might be invited to the 12th squad.

I can read your cookie comments you know... =P

I... really need to make a Fullbring. Maybe sometime soon... Not now though since I'm extremely... Uhh... What's the word... Well, I have writers block. And have had it since... Like... Maybe... 4 years ago, I think...? Yeah... It sucks, I know.

Spoiler:

As for Yukio, I sure hope he has a gameroom. So I can invade it and play games. I like games. Maybe if I win I'll get a cookie... Oh wait, I don't need to win a game to get a cookie. I already have cookies! YAY COOKIES!!! ...Seriously, I would not be surprised if Yukio had a gameroom. Actually, I wonder... How many actual friends he has. Because you know, if you play too many videogames you'll become a shut in. That sort of thing... XD

That was gold, pure gold.

What keeps you interested with Bleach?

Oh these answers will be good...
Also how is everyone?

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Is pretty good thank you. Yourself?

Personally I think the anime and manga story was only very good (8/10 level) up until just after the Byakuya Kuchiki fight/end of the rescue arc. So, it's not the story that has kept me reading, it's certainly not the artwork (I like backgrounds) so I guess it's the characters even if Kubo randomly ditches them in Hueco Mundo or ruins them with stupid over the top plots.

Oh, another thing that has kept me watching would be the OST, much respect for whoever does the music for Bleach even if most of it doesn't top that of it's closest rival Naruto.

Spoiler:

Although "number 1" sounds awesome in the show it's kinda naff outside so i didn't post.

 

[Binary]

Awesome, thanks. :D

The first 20 episodes of Bleach are my favorite episodes. And after the fight with Byakuya, it started to go a little downhill for me. And I really despised the Bount Arc. It was just... boring. The Arrancars held my interest for quite a while though; Ulquiorra versus Ichigo is in my opinion, one of the best fights in the anime. I really enjoyed it. And now there's this Fullbring plot, which I'm kind of neutral towards. The plot just goes up and down. So I guess it's the characters that keep me interested in Bleach too, with a few interceptions from the plot. Plus, OST. ^

 

[-Jared-]

I am doing pretty good. :D Thanks!

I keep watching Bleach because I like the characters and the story. As much as some people complain about how Kubo keeps "trolling" us and whatnot, I personally don't see it. :\ Maybe it's me being naive, but I honestly am interested in the story and the world he is creating.

I feel pretty much the same way.

Spoiler:

The only part where he really trolled was with Aizen fighting in FKT.
But once he they got out of there, it started to become somewhat reasonable again.

Plus I love the quality of the anime now.
Heck, the new filler arc almost seems like movie quality at times.

Plus the characters and abilities are great, imo. :)

 

[minchan]

LAPRAS. THAT... You sure you're not Ichigo in disguise? =P

Okay as for what keeps me interested... This'll be a long story... It may seem to go off on tangents but it's kinda important for my point... Just bear with me.

Well first off, I nearly gave up Bleach just before the Rurichiyo arc first aired in Japan. (Obviously I didn't know about that arc until I picked it up again, but just to give an idea, I literally gave up on episode before that. That one episode also happens to be the only one I've seen only in English and not in Japanese.) Anyway, at that point, I felt like the Hueco Mundo arc was going on FAR too long. (I think it was good timing, looking back, that the anime people decided to put a filler right there. If I'd hung in there for just one more episode, I'd have kept watching.) Honestly I'm not a huge fan of Spanish anyway. No offense to those who like/speak it. I just personally don't like the language, and that's just me. At that point in my life, I was being forced to take Spanish class at school, all while knowing my middle school friend who went to a different high school had a choice of many languages... One of which was Japanese, which she decided to take... Anyway the fact that I didn't like Spanish but it was being forced on me anyway, was part of why I didn't like the HC arc and part of why I kinda gave it up. I still kept watching on Adult Swim though, but obviously the episodes on there are very far behind. In November 2009, I realized I only had missed that last episode of the arc. Then they started just showing repeats for almost a year. I took that opportunity to go back and watch all the Japanese episodes from the last episode of season 8, to seasons 9-12, all the way through the then-current episode in season 13. I don't remember which episode I caught up to, but it was probably somewhere around the middle. When I did finally catch up, I found that I really missed Bleach, and I decided to keep following it wholeheartedly. It also made me really happy that around that time, Crunchyroll decided to finally start legally streaming it. (At that point, I already had a CR anime membership, so that made it even better.) Since then I've been following it ever since, not missing a chapter or episode. (It's true I've fallen behind a bit in the anime, but I still watch episodes whenever I can, and I'm only around 20 episodes behind. A lot less than I used to be! So I can probably catch up over the summer.) Anyway, I guess what brought me back and kept me here is... Well, a lot of things. I suppose a good part of it is the characters. That's one of the things that got me hooked in the beginning. Another thing is the plot. I dunno why, but Bleach has always pulled me in with its plot. Even the concept of the Soul Society is really intriguing to me. I dunno... I guess it's... A lot of things. There's also the cliffhangers. As much as I hate them (LOL) they do keep me wanting to continue reading the next chapter. And also, somehow... I just can't bring myself to "drop" the series again. Once I got back into it, I felt really bad about dropping it the first time, so I don't want to feel that way again.

Phew. Well that certainly was a mouthful. XD

On another note... Watching Bleach now... As it is in fact on as I type... I'm reminded how (IMO) Bleach is one of the few anime that has GOOD filler episodes. I mean, Rurichiyo is pretty funny in herself. XD (Yeah, it's the episode where Rurichiyo comes back to the World of the Living.) And come to think of it... Next week is the last episode before the Turn Back the Pendulum arc! YAY!!! I LOVE THAT ARC. It's definitely one of my absolute favorites. And... That has to say something, as neither of my two favorite characters are even in that one. I think it has something to do with the ending theme, though... I happen to really love that song, and I also happen to think it fits the TBTP arc very well.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Ichigo in disguise?

And i'll agree with the filler thing, I'd totally forgotten about the arc with the little blonde girl but I did enjoy that one. The current one seems good as was the rebellion arc.

 

[minchan]

I... need to catch up so I can watch the current one...

I feel so left out all the time... With the anime talk.

I HAVE TO CATCH UP!!! I WILL GO WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE RIGHT NOW.

 

[I like Pokemon (...)]

What keeps you interested with Bleach?
Part of me is incapable of reading/watching something halfway and not finishing it.
Another part is me wondering what Kubo will do next.
Another part are the characters. I really like some of them, and will watch almost just to see what they do next (Urahara springs to mind).
Another is because the animation and the music in the anime are superb.
And finally, but perhaps the most important, I wouldn't be able to keep active in the Bleach clubs, and would talk to you guys less D8.

 

[minchan]

Oh man yes the third one...

Spoiler:

Remember how uhh someone, I forget who, in this arc, hinted at maybe Urahara being the bad guy or something...? I mean I dunno I doubt it. But with his shady behavior we never really know... XD Even in the first arc he gave Rukia that gigai...

I actually agree with pretty much everything on your list ILP. =D

And I'm glad you mention the clubs. =D That's definitely important. Even though I don't know you guys IRL you're still important friends who I wouldn't wanna lose contact with either. XD (Though for my own sake I might wanna make more than 5 IRL friends because 5's about all I got right now... XD Maybe 10 but only like 5 I see a lot.)

OH OH OH BTW I WATCHED ANOTHER EPISODE. THAT MAKES TWO WITHIN 24 HOURS. I'M AWESOME. YEAHHHH

BTW... I get hyper when I'm tired. And I kinda-sorta just stayed up the WHOLE NIGHT.

You know what's coming... XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

I AM HYPER NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

*goes away before everyone is scarred for life... if they aren't already.*

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Oh God, Urahara

Spoiler:

really is the perfect Kubo villain. He's the smartest character in the series, he's captain level, he's well liked and not a lot of stuff has been revealed about him or his Zanpakutō, who's willing to bet that he has a God level Bankai?

 

[smile!]

^Aizen is actually one of Urahara's pawn, and Ichigo is just another key to creating the Oken. He cannot fight Urahara, because Urahara has already planted a device or something inside Ichigo. Yoruichi is on Urahara's side, so that essentially places Soi Fon (and the whole Onmitsukido) on their side as well. Plus, Tessai is a badass Kido master. The Vizards, due to their indebtedness to Urahara, are also with them. The whole Aizen thing was because Urahara wanted to analyze battle skills of Yamamoto, Shunsui and Ukitake (since those three are senior to him). There's actually another Hogyoku which is more powerful than the previous one. Even the previous one was an experimental Hogyoku that Urahara tested on Aizen. And he keeps a horde of Vasto Lorde in his basement. Howzat? XD

WIN. PURE WIN.

What keeps you interested with Bleach?
One is the concept of shikai and bankai. They're pretty cool, and it makes you wonder what are the sword releases for characters. I'd like to see the Captains' bankai, at least.

Second is Unohana. ^-^ She's cool, awesome, pretty, good-natured, calm, powerful, nice.... and anything else that's nice. While at the same time, Squad 11 outright fears her. THAT IS SO AWESOME :P

 

[minchan]

Spoiler:

OOHHHH DEAR GOD. Not a more godmoddy character than AIZEN.....

Oh but I wonder where that puts Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, and Yoruichi on the good-bad scale, IF Urahara was the bad guy. Just if. I mean, if Yoruichi is really one of the "bad guys" then what about Soifon? And all of squad 2 and onmitsukido. And the soul society in general... Unless they already replaced Aizen, Gin, and Tosen, they're still out 3 captains. If another one were to defect or something...

Just brainstorming. XD

Well anyway I just watched ep. 305. So that's 3 episodes in 24 hours, I'm tired and HYPER so I'm gonna go to sleep so I won't be quite as hyper (hopefully) when I wake up. DESUUUU. XD XD XD

 

[RASENCERO]

Lay off the cookies. Might help. *shot*

I can read your cookie comments you know... =P

OH SHI...

BTW... I get hyper when I'm tired.

Yeah me too. At that point I drive the other tired people crazy.

lol
What keeps you interested with Bleach?
Same reason I watched DBZ. Unless it becomes Bleach GT I will keep watching it. Either way, I finish what I start. I have never dropped an anime/manga (and I don't randomly choose anime). I am just curious what happens next. The plot twists keep it interesting. And it's fun to speculate, especially with you guys. Its even fun to be right. Though I am used to that. Also, good animation and since Velonica I've decided the music is good as well. Before that it was meh.

*Still waiting for Urahara to pWn some group of people, expecting it to happen soon*

While at the same time, Squad 11 outright fears her. THAT IS SO AWESOME!

About Battle 5; Since nobody is voting, again, I am scrapping the rule that you can't vote when you are a battle participant.

Spoiler:

You know, I wonder why they just don't use a garganta to go via Hueco Mundo to Soul Society.

Didn't Aizen kill the previous Central 46? Who made these people the new ones? They are as foolish as the previous one.

Rukia vs. Rukia vs. Nemu vs. Nemu + Matsumoto = WIN.
But Rukia being the fake one was so extremely obvious.

I really LOL'ed at the omake. XD

Which actually reminds me.

Is anyone here in England, and going to the London MCM Expo on the 28th of May? My sister and I are going (cosplaying as an Academy student, and Ulquiorra, respectively. Pics may be uploaded).

Oh God, Urahara

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Oh, definitely. Urahara is so clearly the most dangerous character in the show. And I think his Bankai is insta-death. Remember, he told Renji "my Bankai is not suited for training".

I know, it gets really fun.

 

[minchan]

*sigh* I wish I lived in the same place as you guys... But I live in NYC. And I go to two cons per year and one other cosplay event that happens annually. But hey if anyone comes to NYC we should meet up. =D Or something. HAHAHA... Seriously though, I think it'd be cool if you guys came to the New York Anime Festival and Comic Con which is in the fall... I told you guys I organized the Bleach photoshoot there last year right?

 

[Binary]

I've never been to an anime con before, and I've never been to a cosplay event, nor have I even seen anyone cosplaying before. ;___;
