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 →

I have to say that although I am still definitely enjoying myself watching this, it’s not nearly as cool as the Soul Society arc or even the early Arrancar Invasion where the Visoreds … Continue reading Bleach Recap #6: Storming Las Noches →

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 →
