Bleach volume 21: 1st post-Soul Society arc

[rachelmanija]

Very interesting! About the only things I can say without spoilers are that I found the revelations about the underpinnings of the universe to be very... interesting.

And that I can't wait to read more!

Ryoken Ishida: TOTAL dick. Also, that explains a LOT about Uryuu.

Uryuu makes total sense after that, doesn't he?

So, NOBODY dies after all those battles? I had forgotten that. Tite Kubo should kill some characters occasionally. It's not like he doesn't have any to spare.

Yes, but if he killed someone, it'd probably be someone you like...(that's what always happens to me)

I need to catch up on Bleach...I've read ahead on scanslations, so 18-20 have been sitting around neglected for a while.

I don't think you should get too excited about reading more.

Isshin: I don't recall any significant follow-up to this bombshell. What I really want to know is, how does a Soul Reaper become a human?

Rukia: She finally shows up. Yay! But she still doesn't get to do much. Boo!

Tatsuki barely shows up.

As you've heard, the anime has a huge filler arc. That's also somewhat soured me.

I had unfortunately managed to get spoiled for Isshin's Sekrit Soul Reapertude

When?? I've been tying myself in bloody knots around you not to mention that!

P.S. If you get a chance, I'd love to see your thoughts on the Giant Gin Post over on my LJ. The spoilers I mention from Bleach are pretty much all in the Soul Society arc, despite my caution in the note, and the spoilers for Samurai Deeper Kyo are all in Kyo's motivations, not in the plot, which is probably what will convince you to actually read the series: the promise of depth. :)

Plus meganbmoore and I fangirl over fights in Blade of the Immortal.

It wasn't from you. I don't recall the circumstances, but it was mentioned in someone else's LJ comments a while ago.

[telophase]

It wasn't that, it was all the conversations we had that were cut short! Remember on the plane and various other times in Japan, when you'd ask a question and I'd start to answer, but then say "Well, I can't talk much about that because it logically leads to a really big spoiler"?

THAT WAS THE DAMN SPOILER.

Pfui.

Huevos Grandes is totally its new name. (But the old one is Hueco Mundo, which just means Hollow World.)

Ah, soon I will be able to poke you to read my Bleach fic!

Word on Uryuu's dad and Urahara.

I like a lot of the stuff coming up, but the most recent chapters have left me more bored than words can express. Le sigh.
