Bleach Hell Verse
this movie opens up with a fight betwen Ulquiorra and Ichigo (makes no sense i know, i just think the
animators were so pumped about the whole ordeal they couldnt resist throwing it into the film), it leaves you feeling confused and boggled, but things soon clear up as we cut back to Karakura-cho, where Ichigo is reenacting his glory days of ghostbusting. he is beating up some bullies who knocked over a vase you see, much like in the first ever ep in the series (they seem to be doing a lot of recycling in the story so far). then Renji and Rukia come along and tell Ichigo about a new mission they have been assigned. being the attention-seeker he is he offers to butt in, but Renji retorts and says he is only a Proxy Soul Reaper and that he should stop interfering with their work (or rather thats what Byakuya wished for).
a----, wait why am i telling you what happens in the story? i should be expressing my feelings more!
i have to admit that i wasnt very pleased with how they portrayed Hell. i understand how it couldnt be completely Hell-ish otherwise there'd be no story to tell, but when me and my sister were watching it we were just guffawing the entire time at how stupid it was. there are palaces and secret dens for the baddies to chill at, large reservoirs of fresh crystal-clean water for anyone who needs to cool-off, lavish pillers and a huge area full of apartment blocks where all the sinners stay. there are these massive giant-things which eat the evil-doers again and again, but it doesnt really seem all that painful, and if you have spiritual power you can outrun them anyway as many of the criminals have learned to do.


for someone who may have murdered, kidnapped, stole, bombed and much much more, i think they get off quite lightly in this place. for those who feel prison isnt enough and when they go to Hell it'll be true justice... well, they got it aaaallll wrrooooong (in Bleach-world anyway)*
it truly is a beautiful place! i dont think anyone that goes there would be missing out, at this rate id be
disappointed to be sent to the Soul Society, it seems harder to make a life there then in Hell, apparently. and no one seems to be really affected by the fire, its probably just like getting a mild burn when your cooking. and the gatekeepers are pretty clumsy (so moe!) considering the amount of sinners able to escape -_-

as if that wasnt bad enough, when Ichigo goes vasto lorde on us and lets a huge flame of hell into the WOTL no one really seems effected. buildings steadfast, humans carrying on with their daily lives. they could've at least showed a large portion of the town incinerated, especially since they dont mind doing that when Ichigo uses Mugetsu and stuff. im not asking for much here! Ichigo could still find a way around it if they insist, but as for the other people condemned their, they could've made it seem more painful and torture-some, and make that it isnt as peaceful and have such breathtaking architectures. they really had no limits on this movie since they discarded every one of Kubo's idea's to begin with  -_____- 

thats another thing which made me annoyed with this movie a bit more, knowing how excited Kubo-sensei was for it because he couldnt cover the whole Hell idea in the manga, how he attended meetings and made promotional art for it and then what'd they do? just ignore them all and go with whatever they wanted! he even wanted his name taken out of the credits, how sick is that!? people these days!


BUUUT besides the whole rubbish portrayal of Hell and betrayal to the creator of Bleach i think overall it was good. really awesome animation and the storyline is interesting enough. i also think some of the fights are quite cool, specially Renji's. there were some interesting characters, but the three minions are really retarded and disturbing, i felt kinda queasy at one point xD
but overall i enjoyed it, and im sure i'll watch it again! just could've been better is what im saying. i think id give it 3 stars.
thats it for now, stay tuned for more posts like this!

*but who really knows what the true Jigoku in Bleach would've been like had Kubo done it himself, maybe it was meant to be more frightening, we'll never know!

Are You The Perfect Brother Quiz

are you a piece-of-crap brother, not worth much? or a real diamond, always looking out for your little (or older) sister? take this quiz and find out!

Question one: When you ask a favour of your sister do you
A: expect her to carry it out, no ifs and's or but's.
B: know she's a dear angel and will do it for you no matter what, but still add a ''Please'' and ''Thankyou''
C: wouldn't ask her to begin with, rather, you'd be doing the favours for her.


Question two: It's a great occasion and your sister has dressed up, how do you complement her?
A: wait, she dressed up?
B: you say something she's wearing looks cool, but you dont directly complement her.
C: you are speechless for a moment and then you breathe ''You have such beeaauuutiful hair!''

Question three: You are dropping your sibling off at her friends house (or anywhere really, you decide), do you:
A: speed ahead and occasionally fall a street behind in the hopes no one will think your related
B: walk companionably side by side with her.
C: walk a few steps behind so if anything happens you can protect her with your very life.

Question four: You just found out an attempt of kidnap has been tryed on your little sister, she is in danger and the suspect is on the loose, do you:
A: try and play hero by coming home for a minute or two, b-but, your friend has been expecting a lift from you, so you abandon her again after barely knowing if she's safe or not.
B: you stay home for the rest of the day, but mind your own business (and occasionally throw a joke out here and there to help her forget the trauma)
C: you assure her everything is okay now, get dinner on and never leave her side, going as far as to guard the bathroom when she needs it.



Question five: Your sister makes you lunch to take to work. do you:
A: you leave it at home and dont offer a thankyou.
B: when you get home you make a quick joke revolving around it.
C: you cant stop talking about the fabulous lunch, and insist she should become a real chef it was that good!

Question Six: Your parents have gone away for the day, how do you spend this time with your sister?
A: you are glued to your phone the entire day, barely exchanging a word with your sibling, and at night you rush of with your mates.
B: you do some competitive video gaming together, then in the evening you nip out to get you both a good old takeaway and settle down to a horror movie.
C: you discuss feelings and emotions with one another, occasionally adding how your life wouldnt be complete without her.

RESULTS!
Mostly A's: you are the worst bro anyone could ask for, truly rubbish. not only do you never make any attempts to be her friend, you also couldnt care less if she passed onto the next life. 


Mostly B's: your the perfect bruv! you strike a good balance, you can live life without being attached to her- and yet you have some good memories together.










Mostly C's: i wish i could say your perfect, but unfortunately you seem a wee bit obsessed. your love can be a tad overwhelming, and though you mean good you should tone it down a little. other then that its all great!

Bleach Bount Arc

hello, this is my second post in the ''Filler Reviews'' series i was going to do. this time is the 4th-5th season of Bleach, The Bount arc *shivers*. i get the 'eebie jeebies just thinking about it.


  • Bewar, this is going to be long
  • bewar this may contain spoilers
  • bewar i do not own Bleach or Tite Kubo...
  • or any of the characters in Bleach.
  • bewar the actual plot wont be explained
  • bewar this is just a mass of complaints.... you have been warned

BOUNT ARC

MY LOOOOOOOORD! MY LORD!!!! this arc is so terrible! to start of with, Vampires? need i say more? since when did the Bleach Universe ever go hand in hand with bladdy vampires? the whole idea is just a complete disgrace. i dont know what was going on in the producers minds.  the first part to the Bount arc (the bit with the mod-souls and all the challenges) i actually found quite interesting. the tasks they were set were quite funny and i didnt mind that it took so long to get over and done with (even though i didnt mind this part they still spoiled the part about discovering Uryu lost his powers as the WOTL cast werent aware of this until the Arrancars show up, but im willing to excuse that factor). the real problem begins with when the Bount characters get involved in the plot. it starts with Yoshino, a female Vampire-person using a weird power to lure a human towards her, then she starts breathing down his neck (which is the apparent technique for soul-suckage.) she also has a really retarded power called doll or summat, which she uses to ''defeat'' Ichigo, but then Rukia shows up and saves the day. 
another thing is, not only are the Bounts powers retarded but the characters themselves are also. i didnt warm to any of them or think they looked cool. the only one within their group i thought was mildly amusing was Maki Ichinose, who isnt even a Bount, he's a Soul Reaper. 
i hate the fact that Ichigo loses to someone as pathetic and weak as Jin Kariya, and also the fact that Jidanbo gets defeated by a batch of powerless Rukon-District trash. he may aswell give up his post as Guardian of the Gate seeing as how any old Tom, Douche, and Harry can defeat him. the worst is yet to come, Uryu Ishida. OH MY DAYS BLUT!! its just so terrible! he gets his powers back sooner then hes meant to ¬_¬ by the help of Mayuri but they completely destroyed him with the clown outfit they made him wear: ------>
i mean, reeeally!
not to mention it was simply too disgraceful how they made him care about the gay bounts. he is a proud Quincy, and one that doesnt burst into tears for no one, but then they go and make him collapse on the floor and lose all hope just because Yoshino dies? she means jack-all to him and he bloody loathes her guts- i'm telling you its just out of line. he doesnt even do that for his dear Grandfather who means the world to him, he barely brings himself to do that when he realizes he almost wiped out an entire town with his bait, and yet we are meant to believe he is this distraught over a flipping enemy who on a normal day he'd kill with his own hands? Yoshino (the girl bount) is like a reincarnation of Senna in the sense that she is v desperate. she is extremely annoying and is always trying to rape Uryu left, right and centre. what is it with Bleach girls and this obsession? no kidding, Ishida is just lying vulnerable on the couch and Yoshino starts molesting him in various manners and starts going on about her past which no one cares about, and she also attacks Uryu again on another occasion when he's asleep. she is always trying to be really mysterious and get cosy and it is just such a harrible, haarrible (Nadine from Girls Aloud quote) thing the creators of this arc could put Uryu through.
 they continue on their journey to degrade him in various manners throughout this arc which is one of the reasons why its so terrible.complete and utter rapi`ejj of his character its unbelievable. he behaves like an out-of-character nut-job and i shall never forgive the producers for that. that is the main reason for why this arc is the worst of all fillers. i like to pretend to myself that it isn't even Uryu, just some imposter (which it technically is considering its a filler, but its still unforgivable nonetheless).
they also destroyed Chad in the eng dub by changing his voice actor to the worst thing you can imagine. i literally had to block my ears most of the time (thank goodness he doesnt sound as bad in the Arrancar arc). though it isnt the Arcs fault i still hold it against it. they also destroyed Byakuya, making him have trouble against a lowly bountoo.
most of the fights are extremely boring, there were some that were more bearable then others, but most of them put me to sleep. 
The on good thing about this shizzle is that where the enemies aren't involved it's extremely hilarious. i wish this arc was a comedy rather then having serious villains because they did an epic job on that side. I'd even consider buying the boxset if it was just the funny and un-bount-related bits. but the hilarity is the one and ONLY good thing about this crappy arc-  new characters, plots, scenes, fights, powers, EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING I SAY!!! ALL OF IT WAS RUBBIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSH!!!!! and im sure most people will agree with me on this. overall id give the Bounto arc half a star, for humour. other then that *shakes head sadly*. but the good part about it all is that its filler! the fun thing about fillers is if its a really good one and Kubo helped alot with the production of it you can consider it canon, but if its terrible you have the reassurance that none of it really happened, it was all just a bad dream. 
thats all for now! tune back for more!

Bleach Memories of Nobody Review

a couple of few days ago i was watching some random clips of the Bount arc in Bleach when i was reminded of how terrible it really was. and it really got me thinking, so i thought why not make a series of Bleach filler reviews?? and of course to kickstart this series i'll start with the two worst (full length) fillers in all of Bleach history! first up is Bleach movie (1), Memories of Nobody. Bewar, this is going to be long
bewar this may contain spoilers
bewar the actual plot wont be explained
bewar this is just a mass of complaints....

Bleach Memories of Nobody.



this movie.... *shakes head whilst clutching bridge of thine nose* i was so disappointed in it! not as much the overall plot but more the lame characters. let me start with Senna--- OH MY DAYS!!! she is such an annoying tart i cant even explain!!!!!!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGH! i go insane just trying to start somewhere with her. lets see, i like her Zanpakuto idea, the whole autumn feel is great, and if given time it could have been developed into something more bad-assery. also i think the way Senna looks is good. the big let down is her gay personality. she always tries to act really chirupy and playful and it gets really annoying. especially when Ichigo has to keep an eye on her and she starts trying to play hard to get and starts running off (not at her full speed of course because she really likes the feel of being caught). and also she has the very typical ''im not going to be a burden'' motto but ends up being the biggest darn burden anyone could ask for. its really annoying how she tries to behave independent and strong in the beginning, but as soon as Ichigo is ordered to hang on to her she suddenly becomes weak and frail and her traumatic past starts seeping into her fighting styles. and even though the thing that would helps with burdens is to just be killed on sight or save herself, she has to go and turn into the damsel in distress thats always wailing Ichigo's name, and then when he comes to save her scream ''ITS NOT SAFE, FORGET ABOUT MEEE-E-E-E-E-E!!!'', pretty counter-productive. but thats not the worst, the side of her character which really makes me want to punch the screen is her motherly side which comes into play when Kurosaki has to keep an eye on her. it seems like she's trying to be a really well-rounded kind of woman Ichi can settle down with, and in order for that to happen she has to be a nurturing mother who can bear all his children without hassle, yet at the same time still be free as a bird and able to have a little fun in spare time. and also she has to do the cliche thing of acting really uninterested and unaware yet always being mistaken for his GF and cuddling up in his bed without realizing that that isnt the thing to do when you've just met this person. the list of irritating things about her goes on and on endlessly, but thankfully she does die in the final battle. she tries to do the heroic thing by sacrificing herself, saying ''i cant imagine a world without you Ichigo, dont worry its for the best, FORGET ABOUT MEEE--E-E-E-E--E-E-E'' yet even after that she insists on clinging on to life even though it would have been easier to just die right there. but no no, she had to make Ichi's life hell for a bit longer. she clings her fat arse to him and starts whispering in his ear about how wonderful her marriage with him was and can he pleesh do a last favour of taking her to her to nonexistant parents grave. ichi does this begrudgingly. 

and since she refuses to give up and pass away until she see's the grave he lies to her and pretends her parents name is scrawled onto the tombstone even thought it clearly isnt. at long last she perishes....

or so you think. a few days later Kurosaki see's Senna stampeding down the tracks with her friends. ¬_¬ but she loses all memory of he past life so i suppose its good enough.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH *deep breath* besides Senna's incredible annoying nature the battles in the movie were actually good. the plot was same old same old, revenge and all, and all the enemy characters were really stupid. i think the only thing that made this movie worthwhile was the soul reapers play in it. i find this movie very tricky, i would watch it again but Senna's role in it would make me cringe whilst making my blood boil at the same time (not to mention id be pausing it at every interval to complain to my sister about how disgraceful each scene is). i still have so much more in my system to let out but i have to force myself to stop....
overall id award this movie 1 star (for good battles and soul reapers).    over and out!

    --- btw i do not own Bleach or Tite Kubo (xD) or Shueisha  or any of the art above.
--- i just realized i was going to start with Senna and then explore the other characters but i ended up talking about her up until the end.
