REVIEW: Bleach Season 19 DVD

Strictly speaking of the manga, this is some of the strongest material for Ichigo. Besides the anime just... being the anime, I've heard few complaints about it.

... And by that I mean "complaints about how the anime handled manga material." Obviously, there is the one scene that changed the English-speaking fandom forever.

I want this anime to continue sooo bad. I actually thought it sucks when it finished because it left more plotholes than any other anime series. but then I started reading the manga for the lulz and almost every missing plot gap has been filled. I was so impressed by that kind of storytelling in the current arc, that I feel bad now that I judged the series so early. It just didn't get the chance to finish.

I hope the Juha Bach arc gets animated asap. Then I might consider buying the series on dvd because its not a bad story at all. Nothing too complicated but nothing stale either.

You're not talking about the "Bite me!" scene by any chance, are you?

The true glorious scenes come later in the quincy arc (not sure what its name xD )

Now for the reason it got cancelled. I actually looked up and it looks like it was cancelled because it had a 56 episodes filler arc before the cannon fullbring arc, which was only 40 episodes long. after that they would have to make another filler arc which would be ridiculous. the anime couldnt follow the pace of the manga for whatever reason.

I'm pretty sure that scene doesn't come in this set since it happens a lot earlier in the series. I could be wrong though, since I don't watch the dubs and only know of the (in)famous Bite me and it's alternative translation because I've heavily shipped GrimmjowxUlquiorra for a LONG time

But I too would wish to know what scene that was. The only thing that particularly bothered me about this batch is how they tamed down spoiler[Ishida's wounds in the fight (in the manga he literally lost one hand, whilst in the anime it just appeared a little burnt)]

For me, the Ichigo and Ulquiorra fight was one of the highlights of Bleach. So awesome. IMO, starting with this set, the series goes full steam ahead until the next filler batch.

I pretty much agree with most of opinions above. Bleach had a solid start then it just gradually went downhill. I think it was at it's final peak at around the end of 272. The rest of the arc and the eventual Aizen fight just really didn't do it for me.

The filler arc after this arc had potential in the first few episodes but they ended up rehashing existing characters with predictable real vs. fake fights... but the villain did have a really cool zanpakuto. The only plus with this arc was that it the first filler on the actual Bleach timeline since all of the others were assumed to be in an alternative timeline (with the exception of the Bount arc of course).

I personally liked the Fullbringer arc as I felt Ichigo kept overusing his powers and that a powerless Ichigo actually felt more interesting to read about. spoiler[Sadly we knew that wouldn't last for very long.]

As for the current final arc, I won't comment much on it since this post is already long enough as it is but I say it's still relying on Kubo's previous style of writing which will probably end terribly. I think the ending may determine whether or not if it gets adapted into a new anime or not.
