Anime-Beta TNG

I cannot believe how awful the Bleach manga is right now.
Maybe they should have just ended it. If it keeps up like
it is, I am going to have to throw myself out the window.

On the flip side, though, I have a feeling that Naruto is about
to start rockin!!

I agree, Bleach is BAD right now. I hope things pick up.

However, I really liked the Akatsuki, so I'm a bit annoyed with the direction the manga is taking.

I mean, really? Zombies? WTF?! Attractive men should NEVER be turned into zombies. Ever.

You know though:

That all stems back from the Oochimaru vs. 3rd Hokage fight, where Oochimaru brought back the 1st and 2nd Hokage. I agree, though, it is a little far fetched, and I can't believe he is headed that direction.

Yep. Gonzai beat me to it. That goes back to the Orochimaru battle with the 3rd. I actually had a feeling it would come to this although I had thought way back when that it would be Pain using the bodies of previous characters like Jiraiya. Guess I was close. Instead of Pain doing it, it's Kabutomaru. I gotta say that Kabuto's new form really creeps me out. I so hate snakes.

Be careful,.....Tite Kubo may take that as a challenge!

Since the last arc ended with a fizzle, maybe the bad taste is still lingering... the latest story feels a lot like the beginning.....More humor, especially with the combo of Orihime and a gutter......(I thought it was funny at least).....

*shudders* I agree!

Here I am again, eternal Bleach defender for my sins ! In defence of Bleach it's gone into this school stuff again purely as a break from what would otherwise perpetual fight scene (which would in some ways kind of rule). It also serves to remind the viewer of how rad Ichigo was, but also may just be an extension of the current Aizen arc.

My theory (and I hasten to underline those words) is that Ichigo's battle hasn't actually ended and that he's actually being manipulated by Aizen to do his dirty work for him, because Aizen realised Ichigo'd suppassed him in strength. By this I mean he's conjured an elaborate illusion which will ultimately end in Ichigo facing off against the 0 squad and would be similar to the first story arch all over again (which would be exceedingly cool). Of course they'd bring him round and all pile after Aizen again who by then would have got infintessimally buff. Perhaps this is more what I'd like to see and may just be wishful thinking. Again just a theory...

I'm worried he's going to pull a Yuu yuu Hakusho, where this former Shinigami representative turns out to be super strong, and a threat, etc..., but if you liked the Shinsui arc maybe you have something to look forward to.
