Bleach Episode 11 – Everything but the rain

If I’m right, this is the penultimate episode of the first cour of Bleach’s new anime. Time flies when you’re having fun. We’re getting a solid introduction to this new arc with some cool fights. I think the squad zero part so far has been disappointing, but we start this episode off with some very … Continue reading Bleach Episode 11 – Everything but the rain →

Bleach Episode 10 – The battle

I remember this scene feeling like a fever trip in the manga. I felt confused about what was happening at all times. It seems a bit more obvious what is going on this time around. The fight between the kenpachis continues. Both Unohana and Zaraki are absolute freaks when it comes to the joy that … Continue reading Bleach Episode 10 – The battle →

Bleach Episode 8 – Everything happens all at once

The battle has ended. Time to take in stock and see what the current scenario is. Both Rukia and Renji managed to survive their surgeries and are stable. Kurotsuchi summons Ichigo shortly after to check on his broken Zanpakuto. It turns out both Zaraki Kenpachi and Kuchiki Byakuya have survived. I wasn’t a fan of … Continue reading Bleach Episode 8 – Everything happens all at once →

Bleach Episode 7 – Born in the dark

The original Gotei 13 We start off with another look into Yamamoto and Yhwach’s last fight before hopping to the opening. The vocalist from this song reminds me a little bit of Kenshi Yonezu, especially in the first little bit. That’s a big compliment, for anyone not familiar with Kenshi Yonezu. We stay in the … Continue reading Bleach Episode 7 – Born in the dark →

Bleach Episode 5 – Full scale war

It’s time for Bleach! I’ve got a raging headache and a ton of other work and writing to do right now, so let’s dive into it quickly and not waste too much time. We continue where we left off last week, with Ichigo headed to Soul Society. At least that’s the message being spread, they … Continue reading Bleach Episode 5 – Full scale war →

Bleach Episode 4 – Bankai no more

Episode 4 already starts out with a recap of the first three episodes. I think that might be better than recapping just the previous episode. Speaking of which, remember how that one ended? Things got pretty hectic in Soul Society and Kira got murdered. It is an almost three minute recap though. Are we back … Continue reading Bleach Episode 4 – Bankai no more →

Bleach Episode 3 – Soul Society Invaded

It seems like getting access to new Bleach episodes on Monday is going to be tough, especially to then also review them. So instead we’ll move this show to Tuesday. With that said, back to Hueco Mundo where Kurosaki Ichigo and Nel confront Quilge and his men. Ichigo also instantly recognizes his teleporting techniques as … Continue reading Bleach Episode 3 – Soul Society Invaded →

Bleach Episode 2 – Hueco Mundo in Turmoil

I can’t believe it’s once again time for a weekly Bleach episode. It’s been so long since I experienced that weekly that it feels strange. We see Ywach talking to one of his subordinates who’s on the ground writhing in pain. From there we jump into the opening theme which is very pink. Not that … Continue reading Bleach Episode 2 – Hueco Mundo in Turmoil →

Bleach Recap #12: The End of Aizen Part 2

We’re in the final stretch of it all now. If Bleach ended with this arc I would have probably rated it a lot higher than I currently do. Like many though, I still have hope that Kubo makes some serious improvements to the final arc. A lot of the issues people had with the Thousand … Continue reading Bleach Recap #12: The End of Aizen Part 2 →

Now you feel like number 1! Bleach Episode 1

It’s sure been a while, hasn’t it? The final episode of Bleach dropped in March 2012. Over a decade ago. I was still studying business economics at uni, not even the slightest hint of an idea that I would one day become a teacher. At that point in time I knew about my autism for … Continue reading Now you feel like number 1! Bleach Episode 1 →
