I just watched 19/20/21 this morning.. The Chuunin exams have been mentioned.


Regarding Bleach though, This current arc I am enjoying aswell.. I really like the new Captain, quite funny, But I have a suspision he gonna turn heel by the end of the arc. Even though I do like the princess arc, I was very eager to find out what happened in Heuco Mundo, So I read the manga... and its made me excited to see the series of it!

So they're going to cover how they got back from Hueco Mundo then?
It really annoyed me how in one episode people where dying and big fights where happening and then the next episode they where all back in the real world, without so much as any explanation to it all.

I think they just 'Expect' us to take this story as just a story on its own, and not as part of the other arc. The Princess arc definately cant be before they went to Heuco Mundo, and I doubt it will be after.

Never really been an anime fan except for Macross Plus and was sucked into Dragonball Z for a while. But gave Fruits basket a try and loved it and Chobits has caught my eye so I think that's going to be next.

At the mo...watching The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya. Bonkers is not even close. and who would have though an episode set around a baseball game could be so important to the story?

Also, Mysterious Cities of Gold, and Karas part 2.

Just got the first two volumes of Death Note and blitzed the first over the weekend... I absolutely love seeing Ryuk moving and talking! And laughing. A lot. There's even a commentary on episode seven, which is both awesome and funny -- Manga seem to have been treating their DVD releases much better of late - especially what with releasing twice the usual episodes in one set and all...

I've just finished volume two, which if anything is better than the first, as the story gets more complex and interesting with each episode. Pity it ends on such a big "WTF?!" cliffhanger, and the next volume isn't out till October! Still, I just ordered the first live-action film, that should tide me over for a bit...

I was tempted by both -- as the live-action version is meant to differ pretty greatly from the manga/anime, but I was lured by the buy-vol.2-and-get-v.1-for-a-fiver deal in Play, so my fate is sealed for the next few months...

The live films do differ greatly, but they do capture the story well. The second part is better than the first (better direction, production and extras). It's all good though.

Just finished vol. 1 of Guyver (the remake). It was ok. Good animation but the story was a bit meh. Anyone know if it gets better? If it doesn't don't think I'll bother getting the other volumes.
