Regarding Bleach manga status, has anyone find the recent development got really stupid....
Kubo spent this much time for something so.... gah. It is stupid no matter how you look at it. Blargh, Kubo rally has lost himself in drawing fights that lacks ubstance. Kenpachi and Nnoitora's fight already looks stupid, I was already surprised to see RPG physical button smash can be drawn in a manga fashion, and the new plot twist makes evrything looks stupider.

New plot twist ain't horrible. Kinda...uncreative. So at least there's a unifying theme! Though I did like "Rar...KENDO!"

Unifying theme? Are we talking about the same twist here?

All Bleach developments have been stupid. It's slightly above Dragon Ball Z for writing quality.

Not entirely true. Bleach had a stretch where it was doing pretty damn well for itself. I'd call it the end of Soul Society (I'm one of the few that liked the Aizen twist) to Isshin and Ikkaku and such. It started to get repetitive around the second invasion and started just plain sucking at Hueco Mondo.

And yes, Ultradude. Captain Bravo wins on many levels. I'm a total Tokiko fanboy though.

It was a close call between avataring Bravo or Tokiko. I went with the one who's more MANLY since it fits my love of such things.

Bleach was actually pretty good around then. I liked the Aizen twist as well, it was probably one of the better twists in a SJ manga I've seen. Anything involving Squad 11 tends to make me happy, and Renji by extension since he used to be in it. Though Ikkaku is the frue winner of my adorations.

That was the same arc that, like all the others, the day was saved by the main character showing up and swinging a sword around a lot while everyone else stood there and talked about how great he was, non?

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #330 on:** March 13, 2008, 09:22:08 PM »

No, it was the one that ended with the main character getting his shit utterly ruined by the bad guy (and his bankai getting stopped by his FINGER) and allowing him to escape unscathed.

The anime is even funnier about it. Nothing like having the main character's ass-kicking theme flair up, watching him power up and charge, only to hear TING and the music utterly stop, and the main character explode with blood.

EDIT: My fanboyism wins out.

Ahhh yes another old discreditted trope instead. The twisting plot!

I think it is going to get worse. The entire Heuco Mondo arc dragged this long only for something so trivial. I have this feeling that Kubo is actually running out of ideas, filling up with dumb fights and reusing characters over and over so he can avoid coming up with new fighting skills for those who haven't fight yet, which happen to what the readers really want to see.

Yeah, brilliant, now Ichigo got stuck in Heuco Mondo while Aizen is out to destroy Kakra Town. Now Kubo has the perfect excuse to get rid of the daddies and Vizards without letting them having a single fight. Aizen wnt away, Ulq'll probably stay to keep Ichigo bussy, which would be another Ichigo fight in the already overdone style, then after Ichigo got back to Kakra Town, daddies and Vizards are all dead already. Wonderful, you are so going to do this Kubo, I know you'll.

Niu, we all know whats wrong with it now. Thanks for reminding us >.>

*Just learns that the remaining captains are heading for Karakura Town too

Like shock, so the captains are going to get wiped out too? Wow, Kubo is really pushing it to lessen his work load.

NotMiki · « **Reply #335 on:** March 14, 2008, 06:07:12 AM »

Gee, I wish I had some decent, smart shounen manga to read. gee, I hear Hunter x Hunter just started up again. Just sayin', y'know.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #336 on:** March 14, 2008, 08:09:07 AM »

Feh. They all suffer from the same stuff now and again. Some more than others. My case in point... Two words, Jim.

Greed Island.

Niu · « **Reply #337 on:** March 14, 2008, 09:05:11 AM »

You know, that sounds a lot less horrible compare to the news that X has restarted. Ah, imagine the failure and the pain.

Grefter · « **Reply #338 on:** March 14, 2008, 09:09:29 AM »

Wait even Niu associates pain and failure of a high enough degree to note it from CLAMP? I thought the lengths you would go to for the Yaoi were endless.

Niu · « **Reply #339 on:** March 14, 2008, 09:31:33 AM »

Exactly why it is painful and fail. I cannot stop reading it despite the thing is total garbage due to all the bishies.

Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth and a potato? Baby, you got a stew goin'.

That's because of the authenticity of it. CLAMP's X was emo before emo existed.

Also, Kev, what's wrong with Greed Island?
