Just finished season 3 of Bleach today when they return to the land of the living & I've loved it.

Thought the first 3 seasons have been awesome...no anime since I first watched DBZ has had me this hyped.
I couldn't wait to see the next episode & I was just like a little kid getting all excited when we got a fight or Ichigo did something cool.

I'm easily pleased with my Anime & this really ticked all the right buttons...great characters, awesome action, stupidly funny & easy to watch.

Going to have a break for a week or so to watch something different but I can't wait to get back to it.

Started on Highschool of the Dead yesterday & my god it's all T & A :thud::thud:

Don't get me wrong it's not a bad thing there is just a LOT!!!!
I hadn't expected quite as much as there was to be honest.

Only finished up to episode 2 but it's got me interested.

Only issue so far is my Blu-Ray has terrible audio.
The Jpn audio is SO quite that you can hardly hear it & the Dub is just SO LOUD!!! that I have to turn the telly right down.
Bloody thing...the only way I can watch it is with the English dub & I hate that :monkey2 :monkey2

OMG tell me about it. The english dub I have to turn the volume almost completely off because it's so damn loud! HOTD is great though and I really hope we get a second season.

Lol yeah I know I normally have the AV Amp at -40Db & that's perfect for most viewing with this I'm at almost -55Db to get it to a reasonable listening volume.

It really sucks that they seem to have purposely ruined the Jpn Soundtrack as I hate Dubs...they always pick the worst voice actors who really don't suit the characters (Bleach is just about the worst for this...Ichigo & Yoruichi as the Cat spring to mind as the most obvious worst casting ever from that)

But yeah it's pretty good...enjoying the gore so far & the story seems ok.
Animation is quite nice but the CG mix does take some getting used to.

I think they are working on season 2

That would be good if they do.

Still soldering on with Highschool of the Dead

Watched Episode 6 today...Blimey!!!!!!

It was almost like Hentai in the bath scene's :thud::thud:

There were ****s & bums everywhere...I'm not complaining but I'd never really seen an anime with this level of Fan Service that wasn't hentai or had Tentacle's so wasn't quite ready for it.

Still that aside I'm enjoying it.
Good level's of gore, story is good & it's really well paced, plus I actually feel for all the characters...including the cannon fodder characters like the Police in Episode 6 & the Mother/Child scene was a little grim, but worked.

Half Way through so high hopes for the rest.

Ep 6 of HOTD is my fave. I love the comment about Sarah Palin in the English dub version and yes tons of ****s and butts in that ep.

Lol yes there was a considerable amount of ****ies & bottoms :)

I missed the Sarah Palin comment as I started watching the Sub instead but I might re-watch it now.

Episode 7 was pretty good as well.
Another large dose of ****ies :)
Quite like the way it handles itself with regards to peoples downward spiral & what they will do to survive...the father/daughter bit was pretty moving & you really felt for them.

Hopefully get it finished up in the next few days as it's really got my attention now.

Still ploughing through HOTD

I have however picked up 2 new series this week...

Hellsing Ultimate (rude not too @ £3 per volume...entire series for £12.00)
Strike Witches

Not seen either but heard good things about Hellsing & I enjoy the Strike Witches shooter on PSN so was interested to see what the Anime was like.

Bleach anime will come to an end on March 27th in Japan and Kubo has started writing the last arc of the manga, although he did say it will be the longest arc yet. It is unknown at this point if the anime might return once the last arc is completed in the manga.

I'm going to cry :monkey2:monkey2
I love the Bleach Anime...I know it's mostly filler lately & the story has been done to death (Ichigo fights, not strong enough & loses, trains, gets stronger, wins etc. etc.) but nothing gets me quite so warm & fuzzy as this does.
So I'll be very upset when it comes to a close :(:(

In other even sadder news it appears the Warner Brothers have bought the rights to make a live action movie...

Can't begin to fathom just how downright awful anything live action would be.
It just wouldn't translate at all.
