i wish kubo had just started in on this arc instead of the awful fullbring arc. this arc, although not great, is much much better and would have made for immensely better shows even if just for the fights and ability reveals. i do however have no doubt that this arc will get animated at some point. hopefully in a condensed 64 episode series. the only question is how long we have to wait for it. possibly until the manga ends which is unfortunate.

i once thought that too. bleach's premise was very promising indeed even if it bore a lot of similarities with yu yu hakusho. i don't doubt that in the hands of a great manga writer it would have become one of the more interesting shonen series there is. it's just too bad that kubo doesn't have the writing chops for it. bleach is one of the most disappointing series i've ever read. i guess i expected too much from kubo.

the fullbring arc should never have happened. it was a waste of time! if kubo's purpose was to get ichigo's powers back then he could simply write it in this arc. all he needed was a reiatsu-charged sword from his shinigami friends anyway. the quincies had always intrigued me and this angle should have long been explored. he should have delved more into this matter earlier. and more importantly, he should have given us some answers regarding isshin's identity. that is so long overdue!
