The Bleach Fan Club

Anime

Spoiler:

Well that was an episode full of IchiRuki fanservice... XD Wasn't a bad episode though. I didn't know what they'd do for the ending credits video, since they kinda already went through the defeat Aizen arc, and they didn't use any fillers for the endings... But then they did an IchiRuki ending... LOL Like I said, it's all fanservice this episoce. XD Well I'm excited that the next episode will be the end of fillers... It's pretty much confirmed, with the cast being announced, Ginjou appearingi at the end, and the timeskip being mentioned as well... Yeah. Looking forward to seeing the new arc in anime form. ^o^

Manga

Spoiler:

So this chapter is pretty much all about Ikkaku's fight, with Shiro-chan's fight ending at the start of the chapter. Initially, with Ikkaku's fight, I thought when his zanpakuto broke, that he'd be the first to fail, similarly to how he failed to defend the tower in the Fake Karakura Town arc... Kinda nice to see I was wrong, though. Even if it's a little cliche that they're all owning the fullbringers, I can't say I dislike that result... LOL

As for the question:

Where do you read Bleach? And where do you download or watch the episodes of the anime?

I read the manga online, anywhere I can find it. However, I ALWAYS buy the chapters/volumes when they're available, be it in the North American Shonen Jump magazine, or the English volumes, or the Japanese volumes, or any combination.

As for the anime, I ALWAYS watch legally, on Crunchyroll. I have a paid subscription, but you can get the subscription for free as well. I am STRONGLY against fansubs, and anyone who will watch them IF they have a legal alternative. If they don't, I have a bit of sympathy, however if you can watch legally, but don't, I can't respect that. I'm not gonna hate on you as a person, but I can't respect how you watch the anime. If you do watch legally when it's available (on DVDs or just on TV) then that's fine... But personally, I try to support the creators as soon as I can.

This is why I buy Japanese volumes a lot, so I can immediately support the creator as soon as possible. And that's also why I invest a little money into watching anime on Crunchyroll legally.

And I'll say it again, you CAN get a Crunchyroll membership for FREE. You have to earn CR Bucks, but you can do that really easily by filling out surveys and that kind of thing. It WILL work with fake information, and there is NO NEED FOR A CREDIT CARD. This is how I originally got a Crunchyroll membership, before I convinced my parents to buy it for me.

MANGA

Spoiler:

Ikkaku, the luckiest shinigami.
^- T.V movie title anyone?
Anyway, the fact his fight was an ACTUAL fight, makes it better than what we have seen so far.

*Ignores Hitsugaya and Yukio*

So Rukia is up next...please, plesae let there be humor in her fight.

 

[Truality]

>Where do you read Bleach? And where do you download or watch the episodes of the anime?
Mangastream for the manga, the quality is best there. But since it doesn't have all chapters, I switch to mangareader sometimes. And I don't watch or download the anime. At least I haven't for a long time.

Manga:

Spoiler:

Wow if Hitsugaya was a member of PC he would be Spherical Ice. Anyway ignore this comment...

You can't be always lucky, that is shown for sure. Funny how Ikkaku wants to show he relies on luck but what he did is actually a rational plan.

Why, why do I get this feeling that Hitsugaya and Yukio look like siblings...damn, get out children

Spoiler:

YES. Kubo has set it up to be hilarious, so it damn well better be! XD

ALSO

I THINK WE SHOULD ALL WISH THIRTEENTH SQUAD THIRD SEAT LAPRAS A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

So Happy Birthday Lapras! :D

 

[I like Pokemon (...)]

Spoiler:

And actually a little bit glad that Hitsugaya chose to USE him instead of just killing him. Like he said, he doesn't know if the powers will reverse if Yukio dies, and at least this way he gets both info, and he can get Yukio to do what he wants.

On this page, I have to say, I really like that look in Yukio's eyes.

Ahaha, I love the beginning of the fight. "I'm not flying, I'm just standing." And he's saying it with such a straight face as well XD.

I also quite like Sushi's response "I'LL BEAT YOU TO A PULP LIKE A MAN!". It just shows the fighting spirit that they both have.

And the fact that Houzukimaru was broken? That means we get a melee fight. We rarely see them, but I definitely enjoyed this one. I don't know what it was, maybe it was the different shots (that animated nicely in my head), but I really like this fight.

What I really like is that Sushi is learning about his powers. It shows the kind of experience that he's had (not many long fights), but it means there's less chance of "This is what my power does!" that everyone SHINJI says. And it's nice to see the point of view of the villain; these are all his thoughts, not Ikkaku's. Might be one of my favourite fights, and Sushi is one of my favourite (if not my most favourite) Fullbringer.

K.O. FATALITY.

I wonder if Ikkaku will do his lucky dance?

Where do you read Bleach? And where do you download or watch the episodes of the anime?
I read Bleach either through Mangastream or Mangareader (depends which comes out first).
My sister downloads the anime from... I dunno. And we watch it as a marathon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAPRAS!

 

[Truality]

You know what, I really miss Ikkaku's lucky dance. And his bankai. (yeah already released so no spoiler for you)

Also you should go wish -Lapras- happy birthday to the official thread ;(

Oh, and something else. I've made five pages for our fan-made manga so far, do you guys think I should start sharing now or should I save up more pages? If yes how many?

Anime

Spoiler:

...
The IchiRuki shippers will LOVE this episode.
...The artwork seems a bit higher than normal.
...Anyone hoping the fullbringer Arc will be better animated?

Oh, and something else. I've made five pages for our fan-made manga so far, do you guys think I should start sharing now or should I save up more pages? If yes how many?

I say make us wait for 5 pages.

*Ninja poof*

 

[Zameric]

Gah, this is confusing. And impossible.
Kubo, enlighten us.

...*looks around*
...

Spoiler:

Profile: All who see this must be Captain class or higher otherwise...

Name: Akio (Glorious Hero) Masanori (Model of Justice) [Nobody has promission to call him by real name.]

Codename: Norio (Man of Law)

Eye Color: Black

Hair Color: Black

Appearance: Oval shaped head with a square jaw. Body type should be lean yet muscular, mostly tone. Skin tone should be between hisagi and Yourichi's completion. As for his uniform. He wears the corps uniform, with his sleeveless Captain's robe on top. He also sports a domino mask over his eyes and mask that covers from his nose down to his neck. As for his hair, he has it pulled to back of his head.Both fore arms have a Flame tattoo

Personality: Is a Ninja, nuff said. Cool, calm, collected and analytical. Fiercely loyal and holds his duties in high regard. Workaholic yet can play just as hard with people he knows well enough.

Aren't there a few things missing in that character profile?

Until now, who has the most awesome Ban Kai? (canon)
Of the few canon ones we've seen so far, I think I'd have to say Kamishini no Yari.
Maybe because it reminds me of my shikai a bit.
Not even gonna touch Tosen's bankai...

Where do you read Bleach? And where do you download or watch the episodes of the anime?
Mangastream for manga. Source of anime varies.
I would love to be able to pay $10 a month for CR, but I have a fixed income that I can only use for school.

Edit: Meltyshard, I've linked your zan next to your name in the first post.
And I've added you as 5th seat of Squad 5, congrats! :)

Latest Manga

Spoiler:

I like how Hitsugaya is fighting smart instead of just to defeat his enemy.

Ikkaku's fight against Sushi-boy was a change from the norm.
Though, I think it's a bit ridiculous how flimsy Ikkaku's shiki is.
Sushi-boy's abilities aside, Ikkaku's shikai breaks in almost every fight he's in.
But I like the fight overall. I think it would be a shame if he didn't do his lucky dance.
But I doubt Kubo will waste anymore time on this fight.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

Anime

Spoiler:

Anyone hoping the fullbringer Arc will be better animated?

They BETTER do >:D

Where do you read Bleach? And where do you download or watch the episodes of the anime?
Mangastream, and Bleach exile for the older chapters.

The episodes I get from nyaa.

^2

I already promoted Melty to 4th seat for being a Mudkip fan. =w= And it's the 10th squad. You're getting the clubs confused. XD Might wanna change all that, yeah. =P

But that image is epic. XD

^3
Did I appear yet? If so, I wanna see, to make sure you drew me right. =w= I mean, I won't make you change your style or anything, but the features, I want right. XD (I'm sure we'd all agree...)

Can you start sharing them? I don't think it's a big deal for those who don't want to see them just yet, because frankly, you could put it in a spoiler, and thus nobody would HAVE to see anything. ^o^

No you haven't appeared yet. You probably won't appear for a few pages to come, either.

I would start sharing them, but then I hit this little snag: My manga is rated as normal Bleach comic is, which isn't allowed in PC's Art Gallery. So I want to discuss it with the mod there but she hasn't logged in for a while. So I'll just keep on drawing and wait.

Also I'm glad Kubo stopped trolling us a few chapters now (manga-wise).

 

[minchan]

You can just as easily upload to Photobucket or a similar image hosting site.

I don't think it should HAVE to be hosted ON this site... I know I never upload to the forums I post in, I use a different host because it's easier for me to keep track of things.

As for my character, is it possible, that when you do get to drawing her, that I can see how you do it...? I really wanna make sure she's perfect and stuff... LOL

Is that too much to ask? I mean, I designed her pretty specifically... So yeah...

Also, the info from the SPPF profile that Zam apparently sent you is 100% separate... There are similarities but I'd rather this be a different character all together.

BTW she does run a bakery. It takes up the whole front of the 10th squad barracks, and it's the most popular place to get sweets in the seireitei. (Serious stuff like training, meetings, etc. are handled in the back. LOL)

I mean, you didn't think I'd have my character's name mean "flavor" and NOT have her own a bakery... Right...? XD

Cookies FTW. (We also sell cakes, candies, and other sweets. Discounts to squad members and awesome people!)

Oh man... Now I'm soooo tempted to make a fake flyer/sign/advertisement for my bakery... XD

BTW, it's called "Awesome Bakery"

 

[RASENCERO]

Zam and I will be redoing them, yes.

I like how you explained the balance thing, but I am curious to see if it really works. I'm probably gonna blast your head off.

Oh, and something else. I've made five pages for our fan-made manga so far, do you guys think I should start sharing now or should I save up more pages? If yes how many?

I say make us wait for 5 pages.

*Ninja poof*

I agree with the vanishing cloud, make us wait 5 pages.
That way we have more to talk about.

Cookies FTW. (We also sell cakes, candies, and other sweets. Discounts to squad members and awesome people!)

Cookies FTW! To add, Truality, Me and ILp steal borrow cookies from time to time from the 10th squad. Though Capt. Ilp only reluctantly stood on watch. Btw, since you are my Lieutenant, I am gonna have to teach you soon about the cookie business.

Where do you read Bleach? And where do you download or watch the episodes of the anime?
Mangafox and Animecrazy. Animecrazy is still the fastest and Mangafox usually has Naruto and Bleach at the same time. I have list of secondary sites for manga/anime. I think most of us also use those.
So....


Filler ended! Yay! Though it wasn't bad, was starting to drag on.

Manga:

Spoiler:

Good guys don't just kill people, especially if they are this weak. Kenpachi doesn't count, he would kill his own reflection if he could. I expected Yukio to be saved, but Hitsugaya had a good excuse. XD I really liked the Sushi vs Ikkaku. This better be animated properly!

 

[MeltyShard378]

Where do you read Bleach? And where do you download or watch the episodes of the anime?

Well, I read it on Tenmangas, just because I like the layout of the website. (I like how they list all of the recent updates, regardless of popularity, on the home page, so I can go a few days back and right-click/open-in-new-tab a series update without having to find it first. Most sites list the most popular ones, which are usually not shoujo, the genre that makes up 50% of my favorite ongoing manga)

I should probably start watching the anime... I want to, but I have to finish Clannad so my friend doesn't kill me... XP But I have heard one of the ending songs, "Life is Like a Boat," and I start randomly singing it when no one's around.........

 

[Zameric]

Oh, awesome! I'm able to get on PC now from home.
I reset my laptop to it's factory image settings because it's been slow lately.
I guess that got rid of the problem keeping me from PC, incidentally.
Although, I thought I had tried to get on PC with other computers at home, and failed.
Whatever the reason or circumstance, I'm happy to be able to get on now.

I already promoted Melty to 4th seat for being a Mudkip fan. =w= And it's the 10th squad. You're getting the clubs confused. XD Might wanna change all that, yeah. =P

Actually, I put her in Squad 10, just had a typo there.
Unless you want to take over Squad 5. Sousuke's been gone for a while.
But I'll go change her to 4th seat of Squad 10 now.

 

[I like Pokemon (...)]

Awesome pic.

Also I'm glad Kubo stopped trolling us a few chapters now (manga-wise).

I consider all the Fullbringers to be one big troll. Especially with how the recent fights are going That was worded ambiguously enough, right?

I like how you explained the balance thing, but I am curious to see if it really works. I'm probably gonna blast your head off.

Thank you.
I haven't started on them yet though XD. I'll try and see if I can get through them all over the weekend.
Blast my head off?

I need not steal cookies.
I have already created bacteria that GROW cookies that are genetically identical to Min's!

...This isn't Bleach related, but HOW CAN COOKIES BE GENETICALLY IDENTICAL TO ANYTHING? They don't have genes! And even so, does that mean you are eating living creatures? 0__0

 

[minchan]

No thanks about changing, Zam. (Though I wonder why she hasn't logged in for like, a year or something... LOL)

And about my cookies...

MELTY. YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST JOB. GUARD THE AWESOME BAKERY AND EVERYTHING IN IT WITH YOUR LIFE. DO NOT LET PEOPLE STEAL THOSE COOKIES!!!!

Also... COOKIES ARE RELATED TO EVERYTHING. EVEN BLEACH. =w=

Yay.

You know, chart-wise. I think my balance will be in that direction. I didn't mean you personally. Unless you want a go at it? :P
Btw, If still possible, can you use this data? As a captain, I made a few changes.
Offense:90
Defense:70
Mobility:70
Kido:70
Spiritual Power:80
Intellect:100
Physical Strength:80
Stamina:80
Total:650
You someday gonna do that chart comparison thing again? I read it when I was catching up on what I missed in my absence. Btw, I assume you mean A*B/4 -> (A*B)/4?

Borrow!

But... Those were experimental. Between the profile thing and my promotion we didn't have the time to do human testing. Or did you switch batches when we last raided the 10th squad? They always eat cookies, so its a good test to see if it tastes differently. *evil laugh*

Although, I thought I had tried to get on PC with other computers at home, and failed.

Maybe your house got banned. XD But seriously, try Hotspot shield. It blocks IP and gives a temporarily one. Also useful for site content outside your region and perfect for bypassing Megavideo time limit. Turn on when needed, turn off when done. :P

...This isn't Bleach related, but HOW CAN COOKIES BE GENETICALLY IDENTICAL TO ANYTHING? They don't have genes! And even so, does that mean you are eating living creatures? 0__0

They aren't. Lets take bone cells here for example. Basically, the absorb nutrients and stuff, produce intra-cellular certain materials with help from specific enzymes and proteins and deposit the substance around them. This goes on until they are enclosed in the substance and become dormant. For mass production bacteria are used to make, for example, medicine, vaccines but also food products and such. Bacteria have circular DNA so its relatively easy to manipulate them and build in codes for what you want. And bacteria are on everything. So you Always eat them!
Class dismissed. XD

MELTY. YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST JOB. GUARD THE AWESOME BAKERY AND EVERYTHING IN IT WITH YOUR LIFE. DO NOT LET PEOPLE STEAL THOSE COOKIES!!!!

Ah. Truality, this is a good opportunity to teach you. This will be your first lesson. I'll go easy on you, all you need to do is distract that guard while I use my magnetism to load the cookies. Unless, that experiment of Capt. Ilp works, then this will also be your last lesson. XD
And I said Borrow!
