BLEACH anime!!
Oh, time to celebrate! There is going to be a BLEACH anime! *cheers* It's going to air in Japan October 5 on TV-Tokyo. Well, this is happy news for me since this is my current favorite series. For those who don't know, BLEACH is originally a manga by Kubo, Taito and it's about this guy named Kurosaki, Ichigo (strawberry and the number 15...the guy in my avatar) who your average high school guy. The teachers despise him because of his orange hair color and this automatically makes him one of those "rebel" kids. That's why he's always so grumpy and cranky. He has a special ability; he can see the dead and this causes him more trouble. One day, a young shinigami (god of death) named Rukia comes into his house and has to transfer her powers into Ichigo (the reason is unknown). So now, Ichigo is a shinigami and has to destroy all the monsters in the world (called Hollows) and other problems with the Soul Society.
Alright, obviously I don't know much on the plot, but I dunno...I really like this series and there's 13 volumes so far. Hopefully this won't turn out to be another Samurai Deeper Kyo otherwise I'm gonna be very angry.

If you want to read the manga, the English versions are supposed to be out at your local bookstore or comic store. I think volume 1 has been released with volume 2 coming out soon.

The anime has aired in Japan on October 5...there's the official site if anyone is interested in checking it out:
Bleach TV Tokyo The voice for Kurosaki, Ichigo is Morita, Masakazu, the same guy who did Tidus' voice in the Japanese version of FFX. The voice for Kuchiki, Rukia is Orikasa, Fumiko the girl who did Seras Victoria's voice in Hellsing. The animation production is Studio Pierrot, the ones who did Naruto. I hope the anime is good...I wish I could check it out.

Well first off the animation is really well done. It is not spectacular, but the series are well done. There is a little bit of cging in certain parts that is hard to catch but it is there. Usually when I judge animes I look at how well they animate a fight scene. In Bleach the first one was well done but extremely short. I probably give more details when the seconds episode is aired. Voice wise I wouldn't of picked better. I swear I've heard some of the voices before but the point is they fit what mood is presented. If its a funny chaotic scene, you'll definately get the point through the voice acting. Same goes for a serious scene. It is well done and I will be looking forward to seeing more.

I watched the first episode a little while ago and thought it was pretty good. The premise seems interesting enough, I just hope it doesn't desolve into typical fighting show ilk, although if it has a 26 episode run I don't think it could afford the time to do so. I know the first episode was meant only to introduce the story and I'm curious to see the direction the show could take.
What aspects of the manga did you like a lot, meryl? I'm curious to see what kind of anime it will be. The animation was pretty good. It was clean and consistent but not really anything remarkable or new. I hope the show doesn't take the pretty standard second episode dive in quality. Anyway, I'm going to keep watching this because it seems like it could be a good one. I got some of the manga but I couldn't find the first bunch of volumes so I haven't started reading it yet. Because I don't know the characters too well yet the voices seemed alright. They fit and that's the really important thing, I guess. |

For Ichigo, I imagine the typical loud teenage kid...slightly (and I do mean slightly) similar to Kyo from Fruits Basket and Midou, Ban from GetBackers. Again, I hear it in my head. One more final thing I've forgotten to mention: there's a character later named Kon, which is a stuffed animal "turned to life" (you guys will see ) and the voice actor for him is the mangaka himself, Kubo Tite!

I watched the second episode a few days ago and it seems that this anime could be pretty interesting.
I understand now where you get the Kenshin comparisons from, meryl. The show seems like it could be pretty compelling but for me, it could still really go either way pretty soon. Luckily, there was no major decline in animation quality. It was pretty much the same as the first episode, which is a good thing. Consistency is a plus. I'll keep watching it for now at least. It's at least better than much of the other Fall series. |

Well, I managed to get the first two episodes (had to buy them, as always) and all I have to say is: Yay! I'm so glad the voice actor for Ichigo is perfect! Rukia's is pretty good too...and the rest of the cast is terrific! They did change some parts in the anime from the manga, but it's not too bad, done rather well. I'm so happy...becoming all addicted, hehe.

meryl, I started to read the manga and you were right about it. It's pretty good so far. I've read up to Volume 5 and so far it's quite a bit better than the anime.
The thing is, the manga has a really, really neat art style that the anime doesn't really do justice to. The storyline is pretty neat too. Once it gets going there's some interesting stuff. I really liked the story arc about Ichigo's mother and the fact that there's a Hollow he can't defeat right away now. It adds something more to the story and I like that they portray the characters as having real motivation and such. Anyway, I'm going to keep watching the anime as I'm curious to see how it will continue to adapt the manga. I'm excited to see Kon animated as well. His origin in the manga was really neat and hearing the mangaka's voice as him should be entertaining. |
