Magus

Honestly, even though not much happened in this chapter I have to say that this chapter was pretty good. Ichigo just had that dominating pressence (sort of like the pressence that Byakuya, Itachi and Hiei gives off) where he's like, "you don't want any" (he just don't have to say it). He have a calm demeanor. Had a hint of humor still left in him. Heck, it eve seem like some of his arrogance has returned. (That time where Renji first came into play and Ichigo took a swing at him in the middle of a sentence) And then there's the face grab. People have been saying that Aizen's face was priceless during his slaughter against Soul Society. I didn't see anything special about his face during those times. When he got his face grab, THAT was priceless. I used to be a fan of Ichigo especially in the earlier chapters. He slipped off quite a bit during the Hueco Mundo arc. I was even at the point of not liking Ichigo at all during those times, but now I'm a fan again. His pressence just amazed me. If he's like that throughout the rest the of the manga he would definately be favorite protagonist in shonen (or 2nd to Yoshina Ageha) that are still running, or at the very least, give me hope in male protagonists again. But like I said, nothing happened but I enjoyed it.

Then, because I'm a hypocrite, I called him today at 4:45 a.m. his time to tell him about my carnivorous tendencies. We both laughed until our lungs gave out. I don't even know why we found it so funny... Sleep deprivation, most likely. Speaking of which, I pulled an all nighter and felt awful the entire day... It seems that everyone was vehemently against me sleeping. QUARP! [/quote] Yeah, I'd cuss both of yall out, especially with my ringer being so loud and sometimes I'd be in those good sleeping positions where you just don't want to get up. They want you to stay up so you can sleep the entire night.... (Sometimes that don't work for me) But I can't say I'm really awful when I don't get much sleep. Half the time I am awful/cranky and the other half I can be just as random as the next person.

The latest chapter was a little hard to follow in a sense.. Kind of hard to tell who was who (Junas and Oboro). I didn't figure it out until the last page with Oboro on it. Anyway, who the heck was the girl, or rather, the "it"? People are speculating that it's the meteor/ite itself. And seriously, the mangaka is really something else with this series and the rankings. There seemed to have been a huge leap from 3 to 2. Now the jump from 2 to 1 is crazy, and rightfully so. (Grana can control just about everything... Hard to believe Miroku actually beat this guy) On a side note, I try to not pay this stuff no attention but Marie's boobs stick out farther than I've ever seen for any female in shonen.

Foam plates, cups and plastics are the way to go. I'm anti-dishes.

They'd be getting cussed out if they were to call me so early in the morning.

It's always sad to hear about someones death. I've only seen Perfect Blue, but unfortunately I didn't really care for it. I do appreciate his contributions to the community though.

My thing with the DC movies is that they're expecting you to already know who these characters are. They don't give any background, and that's a bad thing if you don't follow the comics. Crisis and I believe it was Public Enemies had that effect on me, but I still enjoyed those movies though. Now I want to see Under the Red Hood. Anyway, I'm looking at a lot of these cartoons that everyone have listed and I have to say that my taste is almost completely different compared to everyone else. I can't stand a lot of these series that were listed. But I won't dwell on that... It would be taxing if I listed every cartoon I like so I'll just list a few. (Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, and Animaniacs are still great, but Mighty Ducks gotta be tossed in there as well) Justice League/Unlimited Spectacular Spider-Man Looney Tunes (Anything dealing with Bugs and Daffy) X-Men Evolution Gargoyles The Batman Avatar the Last Airbender I pretty much like all DC cartoons that came out in the 90's. While I'll always remember X-Men and Spider-Man 90's hits I just can't say I like them anymore. Trying to watch them now is like a chore because of terrible voicework and action. They just don't age well. Spectacular Spider-Man, while it has some quirky artwork, and it definately took a long time for me to get into. The action made up for it big time. Looney Tunes (Looney Toons? It's been so long) will always have a place in my heart. If they put it back on right now I'd have it on my tv. I know some people have issues with the school settings with X-Men Evo but I didn't mind it. The character interaction was the main attraction for me. And honestly, I didn't even know about a shipping fanbase (which I don't support at all). Heck, I didn't find out about a shipping until recently thanks to the internet... (I'm starting to regret ever getting involved with message boards now lol) And then people also had issues with The Batman, but I'm an action man and I liked it. I don't think I need to talk about Avatar. And just for old times I'll throw a mention to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because I grew up on them. That was my addiction. I collected the toys.. I probably still have those things in a box somewhere in the attic.

Ouch. I'm hearing a lot of mixed opinions about FFXIII. From what I've seen of the game it does look a little off-putting (in terms of the battle system) but I still wouldn't mind trying it out. @NeedMoarRope (Your name, I swear it has me thinking I'm seeing something else) - Hmm.. Too long: didn't read... Err.. I rather just type those words out. I suppose everyone here know what "smh" means as well? I've been seeing that a lot too... (Of course, in the back of my mind, it's like ________________) @Lilt - I completely forgot about Age/Sex/Location. It's been so long since I've been in a chat room where people ask that question all the time.

Actually, I think I'd like to see Renji face off against Hisagi one time. Mainly because Hisagi handles almost all of his fights without releasing his soul cutter. I definately do think Renji's the strongest of the VC's because he has acquired bankai, but given how others fight, I'd definately wouldn't consider him as the strongest (probably top 3) if he didn't have bankai.

No one knew what I was talking about.[/FONT] [/quote] I definately need to start learning these lingo's... I just came across "td:lr" or something like that and it got me all twisted in the head.

I'd still get lost in trying to attempt something like this lol. Great tutorial. Epic banner

ASL? O_o...

So I'm currently reading the earlier chapters. (Soul Society arc... I can't stand some of the events in the beginning chapters) It's a shame at what happened to Renji. Grimmjow is what Renji used to be. He lost that bad boy persona and turned into some form of comedy relief. It's a shame, too, because I used to like Renji. He was my favorite amongst the vice captains. Even with a bankai it's like he's just a worthless character because other vice captains (and lower seats) are making him look pitiful. His fight with Ichigo was so great to read (I hated it in the anime), and to see what he is now one has to wonder what the heck happened? Reading some of these chapters haven't lost its steam either. Ichimaru's appearance at the gate was as great as ever. And then there's the comedic moments that happen in serious situations that Kubo once had a knack for. Ichigo vs Ikkaku was a nice little slug fest, but yeah, I'm currently reading Ichigo vs Renji (chapter 96). I still appreciate Bleach, and prefer it over both Naruto and One Piece, but there are lots of questionable stuff that Kubo's been coming out with. Originally I had planned to read from the very beginning to see if any of Aizen stuff matches up, but like I said, I didn't feel like reading Orihime's or Chad's part of the story, nor do I feel like going through all that Don Kanoji crap.

[quote name='Gavin' date='21 August 2010 - 08:35 AM' timestamp='1282394135' post='699685'] [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]I have to admit, the only interesting reveal in that episode was that Arrancar Adjuchas > Vasto Lorde in terms of power, given how easily the shark guy was owning Halibel in their fight.[/size][/font] [/quote] If Kubo had anything to do with that episode that would also explain why Nel was so powerful. Curse you Toshiro for overhyping Vasto Lordes.

Lol. That's been established as soon the Raikage and Sasuke's fight took place. But I have to admit that it felt a bit refreshing seeing someone else fight for a change

[url="http://ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1114418p1.html"]No-kill Game[/url] [quote]The Metal Gear Solid series has always allowed players to stealthily make their way through the games without killing a single fool. The upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Rising will continue this proud tradition when it is released next year. At Gamescom today Konami confirmed that we'll be able to slice our way to the end of Rising without killing a single human. Metal Gear Solid: Rising is all about slicing stuff up with your katana. People, cyborgs, buildings, sushi -- nothing is unsliceable. Surely the ability to cut the crap out of everything will be very temptingâ?¦ Maybe there will be achievements/trophies in it for those who exercise restraint and make it to the end without ending a human life. Konami says you will never be rewarded for killing humans in Rising. When you encounter human resistance you can slice their weapons in half, causing them to run away in fear. If you accidentally slice off a hand or two, well, that will be forgiven, we are told. There are plenty of enemies you can kill and still achieve a no-kill game. Rising is full of cyborgs and mechs, so feel free to slice them to your heart's content. The character you control in Rising, Raiden, is almost the total opposite of usual MGS protagonist Snake and his style of stealth will be quite different. Raiden is a very acrobatic ninja. While Snake would wait patiently for an enemy to walk by, Raiden won't be standing around twiddling his thumbs. He can move undetected and easily sneak up on enemies while remaining in stealth mode. Konami calls this "hunting stealth." This is all in line with Konami's attempts to make Rising a friendlier game to pick up, hopefully making it more attractive to a wider audience.[/quote] This game is getting more interesting with each new piece of information that comes out. I won't jump the gun and say that this might be better than playing as Snake, but it's definately sounding quite nice.

Outside of Hachibi, I'll never come to like idiots. Unless they're like Mugen.

I have to admit that I liked this chapter despite me not caring much about characters from the leaf (Kakashi being the exception). Whoever the guy with the shades is from the leaf pretty much summed up my thoughts about just about all of your strong characters in this series... Idiots.

I thought that was a pretty decent episode. I had just stated in the manga thread that I still enjoyed Aizen's character (but not as much anymore). Even when reading the manga I found Aizen killing Halibel to be low. Seeing it in motion made me completely despise the guy lol. He's definately like Light Yagami. Started out liking/respecting the guy up until he did that. When Aizen meets his death I will have no pity. I find it odd that Ulquiorra doesn't get a flashback though. I would think one of the most popular espada's would get a flashback. Didn't you know Gavin, filler always messes up a characters credibility.

I have to admit that I do still like Aizen but not as much as I used to. The "just as planned" can only go so far, and by the time he used it on Ichigo with the whole "I knew about you since the beginning" I was beginning to grow tired of Aizen. It's a shame too, because I used to like hearing/seeing Aizen talk. It revealed most if not all of the plot points. Now it's just coming out as random jumbo. Anyway, yeah, Gin. I was beginning to take a liking to Gin. He's like Toushiro and Sasuke to me. (Don't trip Gav ) I never had anything against his character, but I was never really a fan either. (Neutral) But, yeah, shame to see him go. [IMG]http://i37.tinypic.com/30kat84.jpg[/IMG] Let's just hope he's smarter. (That pic looks bad### though)
