is bleach the best anime you have ever seen?

**chambers** · Sat, 10-29-2005, 06:22 PM

i have to admit, this thing just never stops, straight from episode 1, every single episode has left me ready to kill some one so that i can find out what happens next (too lazy to read the manag thought! ^^). i love all the main characters, its funny, very violent, pretty gorey, has a nice way of progressing from arc to arc and i even enjoy the (what i presume are) fillers with the bwhahahaha guy in them.

this anime is the shit....

or am i just hallucinating because there hasnt been any real naruto for months?

Well, it's a very fine series, but not the best on my list. It might, however, be the best of the long running series. Time will tell.

However, with series in general, shorter stories can be more intensive, artistically stronger and bolder. While watching and even awaiting the next episode of Bleach certainly has the potential to make me excited, it isn't quite capable of making such a deep impression as shorter series like Berserk, for example, or Elfen Lied or Haibane Renmei, to name a few. Well, this is just my opinion. I do have some conservative tendencies, though, and thus long series have their own special place in my heart, but I don't think the number of episodes is of decisive importance (meaning the longer the better).

trigun IS the very best. but the trigun manga is better. "sigh"

IMO trigun was too short, killed the whole series in 2 days lol, the ending was predictable and wasn't that great, but nicholas d wolfwood kicked ass

Then you guys will love the movie.

Trigun is a favorite, but I wouldn't call it the best. Especially since it had so much filler.

Bleach is a very entertaining anime, although I really don't think that it's a far cry from being the best. I really think that trigun is overated. I'm surprised that no one mentioned Evengelion but then again I guess mentioning that would be like beating a dead horse. Bleach definately has it's moments but overall there haven't been to many momoments that have really resignated with me as a viewer. There are many badass characters yet I don't find many of them to be too compelling.

Take for example the famous rock lee vs. garra episodes from naruto. I found that to be very moving, Rock Lee resignated with me deeply. It took the whole underdog theme and brought it to a new level. There are elements of this touched on but not really fully exploited in bleach. There have been some interesting flashbacks but none have really had a great impact. Although if there is one thing I have to admit that Bleach does rather well like other Shounen anime is that it gets you hyped up and excited for the various confrontations between the powerful characters like so many shounen anime have done before.

Also the so-bad-it's good-humor also helps define it's personality. Another problem I had with bleach initially was that I just didn't see the hollows as compelling villains. They seemed so generic, although I do admit that the manga addresses this problem latter on. But with naruto in the crapper looks like it's time for me to fully jump on the bleach badwagon, I can't help be feel afraid considering that the anime really isn't that far away from the manga. It'd be a shame to see Bleach fall under the naruto syndrome. And on another side note.

its been out and subbed for a over a month now

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND EVERYTHING HOLY PLEASE GIVE ME A LINK! I've been dieing to see the movie since FMA is one my favorite all time animes. I thought I would have to wait until April when the movie would be released on DVD to get a subbed version but if it's out now I would GREATLY appriciate it if someone could guide me in the right direction to dl it.

heh if you think bleach or naruto is the best anime ever i think you havent watched very many good animes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

my favorite is FMA, though.

**Phoenix20578** · Sat, 10-29-2005, 09:22 PM

I wouldn't say the best, I can't say that about any anime. It's deffenitly up there as one of my top ranked animes.

**The Heretic Azazel** · Sat, 10-29-2005, 11:03 PM

I used to think so until I started watching the dub of BOBOBO.

**Splash!** · Sat, 10-29-2005, 11:11 PM

i think its too early to say, i mean this anime keeps on going on and on. Until it ends, you cant really judge it

**aznroyale** · Sat, 10-29-2005, 11:47 PM

bleach is good but not the best one i saw

Ive watched plenty of animes, including FMA, and I still say bleach.(Dont get me wrong, FMA is still an amazing anime)

**Honoko** · Sat, 10-29-2005, 11:58 PM

as a long running series i'm watching now, yes, it's the best. but the first long running series i ever watched was kenshin and that'll always have a special place in my heart =] up until ep 65, anyways.

**mage** · Sun, 10-30-2005, 12:35 AM

the first anime i watched was NGE and was extremely impressed. i'd say it's definately top 5.

**AltonDS** · Sun, 10-30-2005, 07:47 AM

Well, to be honest I haven't watched any episode Bleach.

I kept saying to myself that it would smth like FMA and at episode 51-52 it would end.

WRONG!

I decided to read the manga and after 1 day I reached chapter 199.

The result.....?

I watched the whole f****** serie (until Bleach 54) in 3 days![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

However, as mentioned before the are other series deserving better acknowledgement (NGE, Cowboy Beboy, G.I.S, Berserk..definitely). I hope the serie live up to our expectations and won't become tiresome. Of this means the TV serie will follow the pace from the manga.

***Terracosmo*** · Sun, 10-30-2005, 01:12 AM

Well it's the best one I'm watching right now, but the best one ever for me is a tie between Ranma 1/2 (nostalgia!), Gundam Seed and after that Trigun, Berserk and others.

**el_boss** · Sun, 10-30-2005, 04:36 AM

It's the best "action" anime I've seen. Haven't watched that much anime yet tough.

**Dionysos** · Sun, 10-30-2005, 04:57 AM

I think its the best series running at the moment. But my favorite anime is FMA
