Bleach Recap #6: Storming Las Noches

When people talk about Bleach, they often mention the Hueco Mundo arc as the point where the story started slipping in quality. 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 →

The Gotei 13

One of the biggest reasons for the massive success of Bleach is the structure of its different groups.

Each squad is led by a captain and a vice-captain with several seated officers ranked by … Continue reading The Gotei 13 →

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 →
