The Bleach Fan Club

I thought that OM was the highest quality. Oh well. Thanks for telling me though :D

Well technically OM never actually "scanlated" anything. Their manga was by various groups.

The speed scans you saw go up on Friday were by Sleepy Fans, which are LQ scans. Then the were often replaced by Ju-Ni scans, which are (arguably) comprable to Binktopia scans in quality. (Mangastream has Binktopia scans)

If you look at a Sleepy Fans scanlation and a Binktopia scanlation, it should be clear that Binktopia has better quality, and more work put into it.

IMO, Binktopia scanlations are better quality than Ju-Ni, but Ju-Ni doesn't have giant watermarks, so that's one of their perks.

I still think Binktopia scanlations are best though, because they're much faster than anything else, and they're also very high quality. The one thing I like a lot better about Ju-Ni releases is that they have more accurate translations IMO. (I don't actually mind the watermarks since they're kinda transparent anyway.)

Ah, ok, thanks for clarifying :D

Anyways, I'm going to watch the Bleach episode now :D

Anime 283

Spoiler:

So the Starrk fight comes to a finish. I just wonder how short that fight might have been if any of the four captains class Soul Reapers that were fighting him, actually used bankai. I think Kubo could have done a little more with Starrk's fight, it just seemed a little rushed to me.

It looks like we'll get another look at Hallibel's back-story and what she looked like as a regular hollow.

That speed technique Aizen used in this episode didn't seem like Flash Step or Sonido.

And I'm guessing that when Starrk and Lilynette became two, they also became Arrancar?

 

[Charizard★]

Spoiler:

Did we even get a Harribel flashback before? And I still don't understand why Aizen killed her :/

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Aizen got tired of her fighting. o-O since Starrk and Barragan were already killed. So Aizen saved some energy for the shinigami and vizards and finished her off. Saying how he went through some much trouble to gather the 10 espadas, and how Aizen alone is stronger than them. (..Bleach Wiki) I would refer to the manga, but all the mangasites are closed D:

 

[Charizard★]

Still she could have been useful D:

And is it Halibel or Harribel? I've heard both ways :3

 

[minchan]

Not too sure about the spelling... I've seen it both ways too. I've seen a lot of names spelled differently...

I'm kinda angry that there's no Bleach manga this week... (Along with the rest of the WSJ manga...) But I guess the mangaka need breaks every now and then too. XD

 

[I like Pokemon (...)]

I believe Kubo/the Japanese version uses "Harribel" but the official dubs use "Hallibel".
Personally, I like using Hallibel, because... Well, it sounds more feminine imo XD. Idk, I just prefer the Ls.

Yeah, that's a shame... Though I think it's Shonen Jump themselves that are taking the break, no? I refuse to believe that the mangakas haven't already written, like, 50 chapters into the future.

 

[Charizard★]

No manga this week D:
This is my last week of summer! D:

 

[minchan]

Ahh my summer is "over" on the Third of September. First day of SENIOR YEAR. XD

I'm sure the mangakas didn't write that far, but they probably planned fairly far in advance. XD

Seriously, you learn a LOT about the manga industry (especially WSJ) from Bakuman. Read it, I recommend it... It's where I get all my inside info on the industry. XD That and my friend who goes by the username "Access Time" - I added him to a convo on MSN once but he didnt really say much. XD

When you say Kubo uses a certain spelling, you mean in actual Romaji?? Please provide a pic if possible - I'm really quite curious.

 

[Charizard★]

Is Tia going to get a flashback? Because I'm pretty sure in the manga she didn't D:

 

[Kay11190]

Yes everyone read Bakuman now, it's such a great manga. But anywho it does suck that there is no SJ this week. I was looking forward to hopefully seeing some Ichigo fighting Zangetsu.

 

[I like Pokemon (...)]

No manga this week D:
This is my last week of summer! D:

D8
I still have... 3 weeks, woo.

I'm sure the mangakas didn't write that far, but they probably planned fairly far in advance. XD

Exaggeration.

I'll read it after I get uptodate with OP.

I think so, yeah. Let me try and find the page... Spoiler for here release form:

Spoiler:

Here. I might try and find the chapter itself later. Harribel.

 

[Charizard★]

I've never read Bakuman, and I don't think I'll plan to. D:
Schools starting next week so only Naruto, Bleach and Rosario+Vampire if the third season comes out.

 

[minchan]

Never really got into R+V.

That pic from the manga is WIN. XD IN YOUR FACE, VIZ!!! XD

I'm lookin' forward to Ichigo vs Zangetsu too. XD

Oh, did anyone else see the interview with Ichigo's seiyuu? It's on CR. ...This is why I am buying all the manga and I have an anime membership on CR. XD

Anime:

Spoiler:

I just watched the new ep too. I love that color attack of Kyoraku-taicho's. XD It's epic. ...But I think he needs a new haori. XD

And just one more thing - even if you don't plan to read Bakuman I suggest you watch the anime. It's coming out this fall... So you'll probably learn a lot just from that... Just sayin'. XD

 

[Charizard★]

Spoiler:

Don't you mean Ichigo vs Hollow Zangetsu? 8D

I can't wait to see it either xD

...
I'm guessing you prefer Harribel to Hallibel?

SPOILER, PEOPLE, SPOILERS! >.>

I think he's had a few interviews... I've read one with him and Kubo together. Link to the one you're talking about, please?

 

[Charizard★]

Sorry ><
Whats a seiyuu by the way?

 

[minchan]

replies in bold. im tired and too lazy to do otherwise.

Spoiler:

Don't you mean Ichigo vs Hollow Zangetsu? 8D

I can't wait to see it either xD

yeah thats what i meant. its easier to write just one word tho. XD

...
I'm guessing you prefer Harribel to Hallibel?
well i dont actually have a preference but i'm not a huge fan of viz's edits so... yeah.

Spoiler:

SPOILER, PEOPLE, SPOILERS! >.>

uhhhh ok... XD

I think he's had a few interviews... I've read one with him and Kubo together. Link to the one you're talking about, please?

it's on crunchyroll. just go to crunchyroll and look through the recent news. and you should be going to crunchyroll to see the eps anyway. that or another official streaming site. (vizanime, etc.)

Sorry ><
Whats a seiyuu by the way?

seiyuu is the japanese term for a voice actor or voice actress. when people compare american and japanese voice actors they tend to say va (voice actor/actress) vs seiyuu rather than typing "american voice actor vs japanese voice actor" ...its a good thing to know if youre into any anime. XD so yeah, seiyuu refers to the japanese voice actor.
