Bleach Recap #2: Enter Soul Society

I remember thinking when I first watched Bleach that the Soul Society wasn’t very believable. It was this authoritarian run place where the rich elite did whatever they wanted while the poor suffered. No branch of government seemed capable of communicating with other branches and half the people in leadership positions were basically sociopaths or … Continue reading Bleach Recap #2: Enter Soul Society →

Chapter Twenty-Four – The Elven Blacksmith

This wasn’t Cobal’s first time in a smithy, but the ones he used to visit in the capital catered to the rich and always looked very well kept. This place was an utter and absolute mess. There were unfinished and finished weapons strewn about the floor and occupying several tables. There was a barrel with … Continue reading Chapter Twenty-Four – The Elven Blacksmith →
