I do like the HM arc, but I do agree that it's been dragging on and it's very similar to the SS arc in structure, with Orihime taking Rukia's role and the Espada taking the Soul Reaper captains'.

It's not as good as the SS arc or Arrancar arc, but I'm enjoying it and I know things are gonna get better with the next arc, I think Kubo is using the current arc to make time, but still, I think the newer characters like Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Nel, as well as Aizen keep it interesting.

Also, while you may be right that Kubo dosen't have it all planned out, I wouldn't say he's making it all up as he goes either. Artwork for Shinji appeared in the first issue of the Bleach manga, so he at least already came up with the idea for the Vizard when he first started the manga.

And yeah, I just started reading the manga.

EDIT: Just watched the last Bleach ep, the Kenpachi-Nnoitra fight is getting interesting.

Do you read it, too?

Or just watch it?

I just started reading the manga from the start.

So far it's great, still prefer anime over manga, one reason being because reading from right to left is just freaking annoying.

Really? Hahaha, I've gotten SO INCREDIBLY used to it.

I've started backwards by accident in normal novels.

For some reason, I feel like the anime is extremely repetitive at the beginning. I couldn't get into it.

I don't get that, from what I'm reading in the manga, everything has been translated directly into the anime, save for some of the more adult content. Unless that's what you meant.

I love the first season, though the show certainly reached it's height with the SS arc.

The first season provided the backstory, fleshed out the main characters and so on. Ichigo had to start somewhere, killing small fry Hollows before he could take on the Soul Reapers.

ug...
i think bleach had a really really strong start and continued that way until the end of the SS arc, but then after that it just kinda fell apart slowly and now i have trouble reading it.

Whatever, this argument is going around in circles, to each his own.

I personally think the Vizard and Espada are a great addition to the story, and it's getting progressively more interesting as it goes along.

Isn't this a general Anime & Manga thread?

^_^

I like Angel Sanctuary.
