Yup. I did say "coldest" for a reason, heh. Although she's been overdue for a nice W for the entire series, too.

Last arc is pretty good, though rushed at the end. So far the show is enjoyable, but it doesn't seem like it's going to fix/flesh out anything as much as I was hoping they would.

Now if Kubo comes back to do the Hell arc, then I'll be excited

I quit Bleach after Soul Society, and literally came back to it because a clip of Shinji vs Bambietta came across my Twitter and the soundtrack/everything else was so good, I've been hooked ever since.

It's actually surprising how easily I've been able to follow everything with only knowing Soul Society/TYBW but it's kind of like Kubo had this stuff planned while writing Soul Society in the first place.

Also what a crime against humanity it is what he's gonna do to Bambietta Bestgirlbine

The finale to Ichigo/Aizen is the biggest whiff in all of shonen. Kubo's the master of setup and a total novice when it comes to payoff. He just likes to draw cool stuff and design characters. Which is fine.

I was just about to say the best thing about Bleach is the OPs and EDs. It's a shame the characters, plot, and fights couldn't live up to those- at least they couldn't at the time I finally quit watching it.

Characters eventually become so many and varied you are pretty much guaranteed to get attached to someone. The plot is rarely that exciting but like say JoJo its not really the point, its more about the style, characters and whatever crazy BS abilities the author can think up next. The last arc of the original anime is good plot-wise though. The fights get muuuuuuuch better, especially in the current arc. The animation and pacing are leagues above the old anime, and the source material with a lot of the fights in the manga is better too. This set of 13 episodes should end on a really crazy fight.

It depends where you stopped really. I think if you have a rudimentary understanding of the setting and characters you can probably just dive into the new show without watching the other arcs before it.

Yup. Like I said, hadn't watched a single episode post Soul Society and I jumped right into TYBW no problem. It helps that these battles seemed set up FROM THE BEGINNING, like I knew about the Quincy/Shinigami stuff from Soul Society. Ichigo being part EVERYTHING was also plain from the beginning.

It also helps that most of this arc animated has been absolute fire.

It's just too bad the arc ends so poorly, but basically Bleach drops the ball on its climaxes all the time anyway.

He's basically 1 to 1'd everything from manga to show, but is there not a chance for him to make changes in the ending since the feedback to it was so negative?

Why didn't he just end every arc the way he did Soul Society that was literally perfect. Satisfying conclusion that opened up so many more questions and made the intriguing world of Bleach much bigger than we had even thought.

Because Soul Society wasnt really an ending it basically just sets up a larger threat and so doesnt really have the weight of wrapping everything up. The actual ending of the Arrancar arc was great it just dragged to get there and the fight in the manga felt a little rushed. The Fullbring arc has a pretty good ending but a lot of people just ignore it entirely.

The problem with the ending of the last arc is that it just drops everything and ends very abruptly. From the current pace they are going at, the last season of this arc will probably be largely new material (and probably material from the novel) to fill that out. So I think they can resolve it.

I feel like that's putting it lightly. It took so many years to reveal very basic shonen plotting. Aizen is the most bad guy of all time and he just gets beat by the mc training one more time than he expected.

Ginjo didn't have the build up but iirc he got ohko'd as soon as Ichigo stopped freaking out

Yeah Arrancar is easily the worst arc and a classic example of something getting too popular for its own good (Kubo extended it because the arrancar themselves were so popular). Would be great to see a remix of the old anime with the current pacing though as there were some high highs.

Dang if they made this episode (which in the manga was mostly just transitional chapters that went on too long) that good I am fully confident they will pull off fixing the end of this arc. Love how the pacing has basically gone one big character moment per episode since the third one.
