Bleach 193
RAMBLING SECTION
Holy crap a new review I am flabbergasted yes that was a big word and its spelled correctly so I am proud of myself sorta anyways. There’s quite a few different reasons why I haven’t been doing reviews lately such as a slight Heroes Myspace app addiction. Well addiction isn’t quite right more like I play that while waiting for new anime/manga and now I’m level 102 and growing FYI I am Anime Reviewed obviously. I have no idea why I am playing that as much as I have but don’t worry I am back to my reviewing so everyone stay calm. You probably wonder what happened to the bleach 191 and 192 reviews well there’s a long story behind that so don’t expect them to come before this post since I have a weird picture problem.
DESCRIPTION SECTION
This episode is all about Renji and Uryuu fighting against Szayel Aporro the 8th Espada who uses some very underhanded attacks when he fights. Renji and Uryuu have finally figured how to defeat their clones but then Szayel pulls a even dirtier trick voodoo dolls. Yes you heard right he uses voodoo dolls where he can hit you where it really hurts, your organs. That’s almost all that happened in this episode besides a small recap and Renji and Uryuu trying to take down their clones wow almost wrote clowns sad huh.
REVIEW SECTION
Well this episode is all about Renji and Uryuu not my favorite characters but they are pretty good at comedic relief which isn’t bad either. I happen to like laughing its another reason I enjoy bleach, for the laughs so this episode wasn’t bad in my books. I would have enjoyed more action but I am sure that real soon there will be plenty of action coming our way. There wasn’t anything new with this episode but I did find it funny why Szayel put pants on pesche and got rid of whats his faces spots. Overall nothing spectacular plot wise hell was there much plot progression I don’t think there was really but there will be next episode but not this one. I guess I have to give Bleach 193 a 3.5/5 because there was no plot progression,cool fights,and not much humor but wasn’t terrible.Watch it if you want to see goofing off and other random hi-jinks by Renji and his gang of misfits.

Bleach 190
RAMBLING SECTION
Hey everyone welcome to me saying stuff that you guys don’t care about but since you are here reading this lets talk about nothing. Ok some people might enjoy reading this so lets start with some news Bleach is no longer in filler, Tokyo Game show just ended, and I’m still waiting for fallout 3 to be released. I know Fallout 3 has nothing to do with anime but it will be something that will occupy my time for a while. You might notice that I wont be doing reviews for about a week since that’s when i am going to rent it and play it. Then again I might not do that and just watch some anime not sure which yet. Well apparently I am also doing anime reviews for animesanction.net now but don’t worry everyone is basically getting the same reviews because that would be way too much reviewing to do.
DESCRIPTION SECTION
Well this will be one of the easiest descriptions because half of this episode was a recap of what happened before the filler arc. Don’t be sad I said only half of the episode is a recap and the rest involves Grimmjow,Ichigo, Orihime, Nell, and a surprise visit by Nnoitra who decides he wants to have a piece of Ichigo since Grimmjow lost. Also Renji and Uryuu are trying to get out of the room that negates their attacks but guess what it keeps dragging them back like in some sort of horror movie. Also starting with this episode there’s a new opening and ending so yay but i kinda miss the last one but whatever in with the new out with the old.
REVIEW SECTION
I bet everyone’s happy that the Heuco Mundo is back and unfortunately most of episode was a giant flashback/recap of what happened before the filler arc. Which is a good thing since some people might have some sort of short term memory loss and forgot what happened before the filler. Well after the Flash back Nnoitra makes a appearance and decides that its his turn to take on the already injured Ichigo. I liked the second half of the episode because I was rather upset that there was a flashback but as I said before its not always a bad thing but what is bad is when it takes up half the episode. They don’t need to see the Ichigo and Grimmjow fight again in my opinion but someone might have somehow missed it which all I can say is go back and watch it. I was happy that there was a new opening and ending but the opening wasn’t as good as I hoped but I did enjoy the ending. The opening is “Velonica” by Aqua Timez which i don’t think is one of their best but it does have its moments that make me like it. The Ending is “Hitohira no Hanabira” by Stereo Pony which I actually enjoyed even though I knew it was the ending halfway through watching the raw when it advertised them. All in all the music of this episode was pretty good not fantastic since the opening didn’t thrill me and I am strangely liking the ending. One thing that is good is there’s a slight improvement in visual now that they aren’t saving money with the filler visuals. Don’t get me wrong I didn’t hate the filler but its just too predictable and the villains usually aren’t as cool in my opinion. Overall I enjoyed the episode but the overly long flashback/ recap brought down the score so I give Bleach 190 a 3.5/5 because I really really dislike pointless stuff. Ok its pointless for me but to other its useful so it would be scored higher if you liked the recap. I would have given it a 4 if it the first half of the episode didn’t disappoint me however the next episode does look like a good one though. I have also included the episode embedded just after the more button so let me know if you think I reviewed this one correctly and give your opinions on the episode.

BLEACH 189
RAMBLING SECTION
Hey everyone guess whats back besides me well….. its Bleach yep it seems they decided to take 2 weeks off to do whatever it is they were doing over those two weeks. Also you wanna know one awesome thing about this episode of bleach is that its the end of the filler season and the main story line starts again next episode. Man why does the fall anime season have to start right now heck there’s so many new anime that I should review. So many anime but not much time to actually review them and that’s just the brand new series and not the season 2 anime that are appearing out of the wood work. While I am in the complaining mood you guys should check out the forums since the only new person was a spammer which is very very annoying. I guess I might as well stop adding the link since nobody actually clicks the link to go to the forum so click the link on the left column somewhere. Okay, we here at anime reviewed are still looking for any volunteers to do reviews for the site if you are interested in doing reviews or something like that just comment this post or email me at katimusha@animereviewed.info or katimusha@gmail.com whichever one.
DESCRIPTION SECTION
Okay episode 189 is the continuation of the fight between Ichigo and Amaigai which obviously ends in this episode since its the last episode of the filler and the next episode is the main story so 1+1=2 and obviously Ichigo wins. Sorry that I spoiled it but if you couldn’t figure it out then there’s some things you need to know about fillers. Fillers are episodes in which the main character cannot be killed since its not in the main story line and well fillers aren’t that good for the most part. The good thing about these filler are that they don’t suck too much and they aren’t nowhere as long as the Bount arc which is all filler as well.
REVIEW SECTION
Well well well we meet again bleach my old friend I see you are pretty much the same as always you have a couple days of fighting and 1/3 of a episode of plot. Guess which episode happens to have that 1/3 a episode of plot thats right this one but guess what the plot doesnt affect anything so thats a bad thing. It seems the filler writers just wanted to end the filler as soon as possible that why they gave this episode the ending that it had. Well I guess its better than how most of this fillers bad guys lose hey look the Bakkoutou kills most of the people that use them so I guess it must have been getting old. So why I sound so negative about this episode well that I dont know fillers have never been good and now that its coming to a end I really should be happy.
Well I do have to say that Bleach 189 wasnt that bad but still it wasnt good I guess it was average I guess. Well my favorite part of the episode was the preview of the next episode which I found hilarious in its own weird way. I give Bleach 189 a 3.5/5 yeah I gave it a 3.5 because the fight wasnt that awesome so I was a bit dissapointed but like I said average and thats pretty much a 3.5 I think.

BLEACH 188
RAMBLING SECTION
Okay okay I know this is late but I actually had no idea this episode existed until Biggity aka Burt told me about it. Yeah I bet you guys are all asking how can you have no idea a new bleach episode came out well I have no answer for you because I am wondering that as well. I am just glad that I found it so i can review it before Heroes comes on today because I enjoy me some heroes. Then after heroes I will be watching Gurren Lagaan so I will be enjoying this monday so yay monday boo saturday nothing good comes on saturdays anymore. Oh yeah make sure to go to the forums and do stuff like discuss anime or whatever you feel like discussing really. Oh yeah a not so important announcement I will be hanging out in the chatroom around 1 pm Eastern time so if you would like to chat or whatever click on the anime reviewed chat link either right here or on the main page. Oh yeah we are still looking for anyone willing to help witht the site too bad you wont be paid but if you are interested in volunteering email me at katimusha@gmail.com since I dont think my animereviewed mail doesnt seem to work. Well I think that I am done with my Rambling since I really have no idea what else I could ramble on about sooooo description time.
DESCRIPTION SECTION
Okay this will probably be the shortest description I have ever written but here it is Ichigo fights Amagai and you could say things begin to heat up for Ichigo. Yeah that was a pun because Amagai uses fire to attack so well of course things will be heating up for Ichigo. Ichigo has to go to his hollow form to be able to use any of his zanpacto’s attacks becauses Amagai’s bancatou’s ability is able to nullify a shinigami’s reiatsu but not a hollow. Holy crap why is everything on that last sentence so hard to write I should have just said Amagai’s sword negates ichigo’s soul reaper powers but ichigo’s hollow side is unaffected now thats better. Well thats basically all that happens in this episode no plot really well just a tiny tiny bit but mostly just ichigo fighting Amagai.
REVIEW SECTION
Well looks like its time for the main event the spectacular review section which seems to be the only reason you guys would even want to read this. Well Bleach 188 is a interesting filler episode in that it isnt terrible like those naruto fillers but bleach 188 doesnt do much for plot. But then again you really cant fit plot in a episode designed for nothing more than a huge fight between Ichigo and Amagai so I understand the lack of plot in this episode. The fight scenes in this episode arent that bad but not espada quality in the awesomeness but its definately watchable. The only bit of plot that shows its head in this episode comes in the form of Amagai’s flashbacks which is the ultimate attack which leaves whole time periods in a slight black and white state. Not even ichigo is immune to Amagai’s flashback attack which really didnt advance the plot at all but just shows just how much Amagai wants to kill captain commander Yamamoto. Well there really wasnt too much to review in this episode but at least the fire looked cool ok i expected a fire dragon from the Amagai but nooooo I didnt see any fire dragon’s how dissapointing. Well overall I give this episode of bleach a 3.5/5 so its watchable so go watch it already well just in case you havent already watched it I have a surprise for you can you guess what it is well click the more link below this somewhere probably right below that last picture.
Bleach Movie: Diamond Dust Rebellion
BiggityB:
Its 1am in the morning here in Oregon. What else better to do than watch Bleach. Trey (Katimusha) just sent me the torrent for Bleach Diamond Dust Rebellion. Now while I do enjoy anime and writing I don’t post as much as I would like to. I do a lot of the boring back end stuff (programming,upgrading scripts, installing needed plugins,etc). It is days like this where I just feel like writing about something good I am watching.
First off I wanted to thank our newest reviewer Momo for the excellent Bleach Captain Guide she has put together for all of us. I’ve already used it (instead of Google). Also,I hear some excellent ideas that she has in store for us. Look forward to your next contributions.
We all have many new things in store for you. Stay tuned to our site for more information. Please sign up for the forum when you get a chance.
So yeah its time for the review I promised.
After watching a few dramatic scenes I do gotta say one thing: I don’t like the Captain Commander Yamamoto very much (Gramps as Ichigo calls him) at least not yet. He hasn’t gave me much of a reason to like him yet.
Well I had started the second movie ambitiously at 1am in the morning only to fall asleep 1/3 into it. So I finished it the next day promptly. Do not let this be a sign the movie was boring. I was quite intrigued by it. I actually enjoyed this movie far better than I did Memories of Nobody. I also must say I am looking forward to the 3rd movie.
Well the tagline for the movie is Bleach the Movie: Diamond Dust Rebellion, Another Hyorinmaru. I already suspected the the plot some what. I was some what close. Toushiro is one of the more popular Captains on Bleach. I really liked them filling in many of the blanks in his past.
My favorite Captain, Kenpachi, has a nice appearence in the movie. I was thrilled to see him fight. Also some Bleach Trivia. In the movie this is the 3rd time he has removed his eye patch.
So the plot was quite good. Worth the watch. You can find the movie downloadable here.
The theme song is Hikari No Rock by Sambomaster. You can see clips of the movie and hear the song. I am embedding a video for you.
This movie will appeal to you if you are a fan of Toushiro. I give the movie a 4/5
Katimusha
Yep I have snuck into this review like a ninja in the shadows but I have decided to help review The second Bleach Movie Aka the Diamond Dust Rebellion dum dum dum.
I know nobodies really shocked at my appearance or are you now if only i can see your faces I can tell whether or not you are shocked to see me. Well guess what I am going to pretend that you are shocked because what would be a surprise appearance by me without people being shocked and maybe leaving some people in awe.
Just as Biggity said which is the guy right above me posted you should go to the forums there you can discuss all types of well stuff.
Just in case you didn’t know when Biggity mentioned someone named Trey well heres something to help you out a bit Trey = Katimusha well now that that is out of the way let me get started with my review.
Well as you know its a bleach movie which means one thing the animators put alot of effort in animating the characters and you can definitely tell because everything is so pretty. The soundtrack is classic bleach with some interesting music to go along with it and it fits the movie well. The characters are as lively as ever as well especially Kenpachi who is very entertaining in this movie. As you should all know Toushiro is the secondary main character of the movie, since well the story involves his back story and stuff like that. Basically Toushiro is charged with protecting the kings seal and unfortunately it is stolen by someone who has the same Zanpacto as him. He then proceeds to go after the culprit alone which gets him in trouble with the rest of the Gotei 13. Okay there isn’t 13 captains at the moment since a certain person decided to hang with the bad crowd and is now the leader of the Arracar. If you don’t know who I am talking about you haven’t been watching much bleach that’s for sure. Well here is what I give The Bleach Movie The Diamond Dust Rebellion a 4.5/5 don’t ask I just don’t think it deserves a 5 but I did like the movie. I highly recommend you watch this movie because its pretty good but the other reviewers might have other more detailed opinions on it.
Momo
This movie was amazing! I’ve been waiting a very long time for this one to become available amongst other friends who have asked “when will this be available?” since they know how I tend to keep track of stuff like this. First off, I love Toushiro Hitsugaya, he’s amazing for being such a young kid and handling a division, not to mention his Lieutenant..anyway, it’s nice to get more backstory, rather than he grew up with Momo in Rukon, loves watermelons, etc. Seeing his back story and how there are two Hyourinmaru’s and the laws in Soul Society on the existence of the same Zanpakutoh. I like how we finally get to see Central 46 in action governing decisions on such matters, given how during the first arc, they were very much dead.
It was also nice seeing how Ichigo, even though kind of shunned by soul society as a soul reaper yet not a full soul reaper, he still cares enough to take care of a captain and help solve their issues. I liked seeing him find common ground with Toushiro on how Shiro dealt with this return of someone he called a friend and how Ichigo dealt the same way with the loss of his mother, both became loners and didn’t want to share their grief and anger with anyone, and how both realized people were there for him and not willing to give on letting him know that. Ichigo with his sisters and father, and Toushiro with his Lieutenant and the other captains and lieutenants from soul society standing there for him.
The only thing that really confused me, was that this friend of his and the girls that followed wore what looked like hollow masks and appeared to possibly be Vaizards. So how did his friend decide to come back and attack? Was it just a random I want revenge thing or did he meet up with Aizen once reborn in Hueco Mundo and ask for Aizen’s assistance and how did they have the power to bring forth hollows from Hueco Mundo anyway? ahhh! Too confusing! LOL
I have to agree on the animation, it was really top notch. It always seems to me, that the animation in a movie is better than it is in the series. Kudos to the animators who brought this to life! It’s an amazing movie with an amazing story, I’m also going to give it a 4.5/5 because of that one confusing part to the story I mentioned above.
I can only imagine the next movie will pack a punch as well. The next movie being released in japan in December is called “Fade to Black..I call your name” looks like we’ll see Rukia focus in that one.
as for what was said above, yes, look forward to what I’ll provide next! Interviews with the VA cast of Bleach and Con reports!! First interview that will go up soon will be LA based voice actor Kyle Hebert, voice of Ganju Shiba and Captain Sousuke Aizen!!
Rock Musical Bleach The All and Live Bankai Show Code 002
ok, so it’s not the anime series itself, but the two new bleach musicals “The All” and “Live Bankai Show Code 002 are up online to view!! for those who don’t know, Bleach Rock Musical is a take on the bleach series done live action with musical numbers, that covers from beginning to end the Soul Society Rescue Arc.
Them throwing together a full musical to cover the entire story when they had done that piece by piece already, worried me, but watching it proved me wrong. A brand new stage gave the entire show a new look, the actors behind the characters of the Gotei 13, and Ichigo and Rukia really stepped up and the musical felt new, the acting has improved 10 fold and the singing only got better.
The live bankai show was also very amazing, the new songs like Ichigo’s “Where is my body?” and the Lt.’s song and the shinigami women’s association song were great! with funny moments with the big bad three doing their own thing, Momo fangirling over Aizen’s new look and if you watch the backstage portion, Renji asking Ichigo to imitate a few of the captains, and each character being introduced to each other. Renji and Aizen playing keep away with the glowstick in a re-enactment of the Sokyoku Hill scene, and Ichigo and Momo realizing they are peach and strawberry.
with performances so entertaining and great music, it’s truly sad to see such an amazing musical performance of this series end. This one definitely gets a 10/10 from me. Below are video links to check out these new performances! hope you enjoy!
Stark is a powerful espada?
Though little is known of Stark’s true abilities what you can be sure of is that he is in the top three ranked of the espada. His powers are rarely used due to his extremely lazy personality. His careless attitude often causes him to be reprimanded by his own fracion. Though his fracion, Lilinette, looks more childish than Stark she seems to have a more responsible attitude than her own superior. Stark seems less evil than the rest of the espada, but that may be a simple lack of motivation.
Another Bleach Character: Yammy
Yammy is the lowest ranked and weakest of the espada. He is not very intelligent and therefore relies on his brute strength to fight. Always eager for battle Yammy utilizes the bala form of cero and his skin is stronger steel. His special ability is to inhale the souls of people with little reiatsu. Yammy is useless without the guidance of a higher ranked espada.
A Bleach friend of mine named Ulquiorra Schiffer
First of all, I have to say this is the first character review from Bleach. I wanted to review a character with some flavor, so here you go. In Aizen’s army the Espada are the generals, and the fourth most powerful is Ulquiorra. He was given the task of protecting Hueco Mondo whilst Aizen schemes. Ulquiorra is also given the task of guarding a certain time denier that I am sure we all know. If you dont know what Im talking about then dont read more. You have been warned. Ulquiorra prefers to kill his victims by thrusting his hand through their chest in the same spot where his own soul seperated. He can also shoot green Ceros from his hand with ease. Woe be to those who defy Ulquiorra Schiffer! His personality is unpleasant and patient. He is probably the most devoted to Aizen sama of all the espada.
Bleach: Re-Review Part 2
Yes, if you read the title before reading this than you already know this is part 2 of the Bleach Re-Review so you should make sure to read the other review before this one. Don’t worry I will wait for you to get back from reading it…. Ok are you done yet well you better be because this will contain Massive Spoilers to the MAX!!! So if you don’t want spoilers don’t read this review so while you wait for the next review why don’t you wait in the Forums because they are just wonderful. Also while there make sure to let me know what you would like me to review or you could just let me know what you think bad, good, or neither but just let us know. This review may be delayed sorta been watching E3 and keeping up with some gaming news which appeals to the nerd within me. Okay well I am going to do something a bit different but here is what my next review will be on and that review is a review on the Vampire Knight anime. Well I am going to skip the description for this review if you want the description just read part 1 its right there.
Last I left you was with Aizen’s plot to do whatever whenever he wants. Not really, he got what he wanted and left. He went back to Hueco Mundo with Gin and Tousen. Well Ichigo and friends head back home without Rukia and life returns to normal or does it? No it doesn’t because Orihime is kidnapped by 3 mysterious baddies who turns out they are just mod souls.
Oh yeah before I get too far let me tell you this is filler not in the manga so the story doesn’t really affect anything really so back to the other crap.
Okay it turns out Kisuke set up the mod souls as a test and Ichigo and the rest failed except for Uryuu but he lost all his powers back in the soul society. It also turns out that there is a new enemy known as Bounts which is basically a vampire (a list of the Bount is here). Ooh scary but they don’t turn you into a vampire they turn you to dust. Well its up to Ichigo to stop the Bount from killing innocent people and also stop whatever it is that they are planning.
It seems the Bounts need a Quincy to fulfill whatever nefarious goal they have so they come after the powerless Uryuu.
Well some fighting ensues and Ichigo decide to take the fight to the Bounts and their leader Jin Kariya. It turns out he wants to go to soul society to get revenge on the people who created them aka the soul Reapers. Well after some more fighting the Bounts make their way to the soul society where the captains of the Gotei thirteen go against the Bounts. The captains beat them because this is a filler season and the main characters always win in filler seasons most of the time unless they decide to kill the story. Well all that’s left is Jin and he and Ichigo have a final Climatic fight at the execution grounds which Ichigo wins sorry filler bad guys. Overall I give the third Season of Bleach a 3.5/5 because this filler wasn’t half bad much better than the Naruto filler which were pretty horrible. Season 3 had some decent humor and some interesting fights.
Here is one of the best Bleach ending songs for the Bount Season 3, My Pace by Sunset Swish. I warn you its catchy.
Now here is season 4 which is not filler so you guys don’t have to worry about some random strange stuff happening in this season. In this season marks the arrival of the Arrancar which are bad guys you don’t want to mess with because they are hollows who have gained soul reaper powers. The Arrancar are not alone they are being created by Souske Aizen former Gotei 13 captain. They first encounter Arrancar when two of them come to the human world and begin sucking out human souls. The two Arrancar that appear are Yammy and Ulquiorra which also happen to be Espada. Espada basically are the top 10 Arrancar in order of strength 1 being the strongest and 10th being the well the 10th strongest. well Ichigo ends up confronting the two Arrancar and he ends up fighting Yammy but due to Ichigo’s inner hollow acting up he loses to Yammy. He is saved by Kisuke and Yoruichi who beat Yammy and the two Arrancar retreat. Ulquiorra tells Aizen that Ichigo is trash and that he poses no threat but Grimmjow another Espada disagrees with his decision to let Ichigo live. So Grimmjow decides to get some Arrancar buddies and go and kill Ichigo because he thinks that he might become a threat. All of Grimmjow’s subordinates are defeated and Grimmjow was able to beat Ichigo but Tousen brings Grimmjow back to Huecto Mundo. Ichigo decides to go to Shinji Hirako a Vizard which is a Soul Reaper that gained Hollow powers basically the reverse of an Arrancar. He wants to be trained so he can control his inner hollow in order to beat Grimmjow and the other Arrancar.
Well he goes thru the training and during that time the Arrancar decide to go on the offensive again. This time there are Yammy,Grimmjow, Luppi, and Wonderweiss arrive to cause a little trouble. Each one of them are Espada except for Grimmjow who got demoted because Tousen decided to hack and slash his arm and then he blew his arm up so poor Grimmjow has only one arm and is no longer a Espada. Luppi took his place as the 6th Espada but Grimmjow decides to go search for Ichigo his rival, leaving the other Espada to take on Hitsugaya Toushirou and some lieutenants and some lower class Soul Reapers. I can’t spoil too much. I am just going to let you know that a certain female gets kidnapped. Once again Ichigo and friends go to save the day. I personally liked this season mainly because I thought Grimmjow was pretty interesting and the fights were really cool. I am going to give season 4 of Bleach a 4/5 because its a slight step down from the soul society but quite a step up from the Bount arc. Also the fourth season was pretty funny at points mainly once Ichigo goes to Hueco Mundo because he meets some interesting characters.
I’ve added a video with the ranks and names of the known Espada below.Note the music is the opening for Season 4.
I know many of you are pretty disappointed that the review contained so many spoilers. This is mainly for those who have already watched the season. I apologize if i spoiled anything for you.
