Yeah baby. Recliiiiiiiine.
I donno man, I think Chaoskiddo's got some issues. I mean, I see two guys sword fighting and I see an awsome fight taking place. CK sees two guys sword fighting and apparently sees guy on guy sex. *shrug*
I wasn't counting Bleach time, have you not noticed that a month has passed since they started their fight. I can't believe just because I didn't like this episode, I'm getting shit from all over the place. And I don't get why everyone is so in love with Bleach now that they don't even see any flaws anymore. I just don't like the way they have build up the Ichigo fight, the idea is basically that Ichigo has gotten insanely strong and will beat Byakuya. It had pontential to be really awesome, but in my opinion they pissed that oppurtunity away. Bleach has become a *here it comes* anime as you call it, and that's what I don't like.Originally posted by: The Heretic Azazel
Sure everyone's entitled to their opinion...
But you can't like anything if you're so bored you can't stand to wait like 3 episodes for Ichigo/Byakuya. That's not really a long time..
And also why is everybody always picking on the Dragonball series as if it was the worst piece of shit ever made, I'm sure there are plenty of animes out there that are much worse. And face it without Dragonball, Bleach wouldn't even had excisted. We all know that all the "action" manga/anime writers masturbated to Dragonball when they were younger.
I liked this episode. Pretty good. Not the most action packed, but the conclusion to Yoroichi and Sui Fong's fight was good what with the energy attacks (big thanks to Knives for spoiling [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) and Sui's breakdown at the very end. Very good. Short haired Yoroichi and young Sui Fong [img]i/expressions/heart.gif[/img] I love good flashbacks.
I also think it's really cool that they finally explained that Ichigo releasing that energy blast is his Shikai's ability. Everyone else has had some special power along with the release up 'til now and I was wondering if Ichigo's Shikai did. It's a pretty basic power, but it's damn cool, and apparently really powerful. Nice.
I don't see what people are complaining about this episode for.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Because it wasn't perfect. Duh.
There's certainly a lot of shit getting flung over this episode...I would like to add my 2 cents and just say that overall I thought the episode was a good balance of back story, character development and action. I agree that Soi Fong's back story makes her a better character than before; I can understand more of her motivation as both a Captain and as Yoroichi 's former subordinate. At first I thought the scene between Ikkaku and Tetsuzaemon was needless, but after they started talking about how and why vice captians are picked (specialists vs generalists) it give more credence to how a 3rd seat can take on a vice captain. Not to mention I liked the little jab by Ikkaku about how Iba only was a vice captain for is mother...haha! Lastly, we got to see a little more Ichigo vs Byakuya duel...nuff said. I am still wondering about Yachiru, Gin/Hitsugaya , and of course the battle between Yama/Ukitake/Kyouraku. Can't wait 'till next week! Only 6 more days to go...Originally posted by: el_boss

this ep was awsome!!

Every anime has high and low points and also flaws but good things to balance out (well in the good ones). As a younger kid, hell I couldn't get enough of DBZ, and for Gundam Wing, etc etc (not bashing any of them, but you gotta admit as a young kid those series rocked =D).
That being said, not everyones gonna like the same thing you do. I liked the episode just because of the background story, character development (who really saw Son crying at the end of this battle .. she got pwned and went down .. woo), and also that background. Heck they even threw in that side fight which imho should be how all fights are faught ... battle all out, rest and drink sake, when you run out get mad and fight again! The world would be a better place if this happend ... haha
Bleach has its slow points but I like tha anime overall, always throwing a few twists in here and there that you dont even suspect. Not to mention the character history and development is really cool (learning about Yo and urahara for example .. I thouhgt he was important but never thought he was a captain until they revieled it).
Anyhow, Bleach is a bit slow at the momment but it balances out with other stuff and in the end, its just a sit back, grab a drink and relax good time =D.
Eh......the problem I have with these episodes is that I'm too anxious to see ichigo's bankai to be interested in all the other stuff that's going on. No matter how good an episode may be, until I see ichigo's bankai, every episode leading up to it will just leave me dissappointed.

I'm just gonna use this opportunity to remind you people of one big annoyance here in GotWoot:
http://forums.gotwoot.net/mess...4910&enterthread=y
So please, stop bringing up freaking DBZ in every discussion... be creative, and use something else to bring up your opinions...STOP DOING THESE:
DBZ references
Fucking stop it, you morons! I'm sick and tired of hearing about how many similarities you found on each episode. Nobody cares...
This is not a thread for discussing Dragonball. The title clearly states "Bleach 57". I'm curious though, is anime a title an animated show gets after it is granted by some jury somewhere? I was under the impression that anime was what you called animated shows from japan, guess I was wrong. So the latest episode of Bleach wasn't an anime? That must be why it sucked. Thanks for clearing that up.Originally posted by: Inazuma
DBZ isn't even good enough to be sorted as an anime
C'mon guys. Stop flaming Bleach because of one lousy episode. All in all, out of 57 episodes so far, this is definitely not the worst.
Episode 50, now that was a disaster. They gave us Kon and that silly Don Kanonji. It wasn't even that funny, especially since two episodes of Bwahahaha is more than we can stand.
Anyway guys, don't grate our dear Tite Kubo just because of one or even a few lousy episodes. Most likely the studios are dragging the story a bit longer to get people to watch longer.
At the risk of getting flamed, the worst anime i ever watched was Gundam Seed Destiny. Now that was a waste of time, all 50 episodes of it, not just one, or two, or three, or four or even 10 episodes and 7 recap episodes. It was the whole bloody series.
(Note: I love Gundam Seed. A masterpiece)
Why am I bringing up GSD? Put it this way. In the past few episodes, we've all complained that we're itching to see Ichigo's Ban Kai but instead have been given a lot of backstory of other characters. The most interesting ones in the last few episodes is of course Yoruichi and Soi Fon. We also get a bit of Ukitake, Shunsui and even General Yamamoto. At least we're given even more additional backstory from which the story can be further developed and the fan fiction writers get a wealth of material to base their fiction off.
GSD, do you know for a series with 50 episodes, there are no less than 5 recap episodes? 5/50 that's 10% of the series my dear fellows. And do you know when the recaps happened? In Episode 41 and Episode 46. My dear fellows, it wasn't giving any new material. They're just replaying the same old scenes again and again from the past 40 episodes, hell, even from the previous series from which it was based, Gundam Seed.
Now that, is bloody bull shit and a waste of time.
Remember folks, at least we're given new stories and revelations the past few episodes, NOT USELESS RECAPS to educate new viewers of the show.
Anyway, THEY GAVE YORUICHI AN UNDERGARMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] that's what ticked me off in this episode. Sorry, the hormornal male has taken over my fingers and making his feelings heard.
I think it's really sad that some of you guys let your anxiety of seeing Ichigo's bankai cloud the fact that there are other, lots more interesting, things going on.
A series isn't all about it's damn main character...
I personally can't understand how some people found this episode bad, but if their motivation simply is "I want to see Ichigo's bankai", then I just find it laughable.
10 New people now have downloaded the Magna just to see Yoruchi without undergarments. =POriginally posted by: naruto22

DBZ being brought up in a list of animes is not referencing it by the way its stated here. I'm under the impression that it almost like saying "OMG when Ichigo is charging up it looks like hes going Super Sayian!!!" or something of that nature. Don't think Listing it with OThER animes is really considering bad because obviously A LOT of people has seen at least one episode and can relate. You could always use another anime, less or more heard about and some people might get it, but a lot might not just because they arent familliar with the anime itself. I think thats why poeple refernce DBZ, not saying they should but its like a common ground people use. It's allright as long as they dont start overdoing it and comparing every single attack or speech to something that happend in an epsidoe =P.Originally posted by: Budweineken

Plus if i'm not mistaken, it hasn't been mentioned in a while (other than the last few posts) so people are pretty good about the rule in general.

What I'm interested in as far as Ichigo's Ban-kai is how he finally managed to learn it... I was sorta hoping they'd do an episode with him and Zangetsu right before the time limit... but they just cut to the execution and him flying in to save the day. While I am curious as to see the Ban-kai, I think it's more interesting to learn HOW he acquired it.
And, speaking of interesting plot elements: Where is Hitsugaya and Ichimaru Gin? What happened to the plot to harness the Soukyoko (sp?) power to coup Soul Society? Who the fuck killed Aizen and why? Where is Shiba Kukaku and her Valley of the Gods? <-- now those are things I'm really looking forward to seeing (as well as the end of the Yamamoto VS 4 Swords and what Byakuya's reasoning is all about)
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
he aquired it by completing the training just in the nick of time....no mystery there. And if they hadn't cut in to the execution scene then it wouldn't be as dramatic when ichigo pulls out his bankai against byakuya.
