Bleach

I just caught myself up on the Bleach manga. I used to check the websites daily to see when new chapters were released, but I got a bit lax over the summer. I checked few nights ago and found I had several waiting for me to read. Great fun. They recently stopped releasing new episodes on Adult Swim, not that I really watched the anime in English so much, so I can't really talk to many of my friends about things that have happened recently. I'm not a jerk that reveals spoilers against people's wills...mostly. I heard they left off where Ichigo gets his bankai in a killer battle scene. That's unfortunate. I would recommend watching the subbed episodes which go much farther, however some people just don't like the whole "reading what they are hearing" deal. I would also recommend reading the manga which goes even farther than the episodes...but no one wants to put any effort into reading. Am I so strange for enjoying hearing the gibberish with a translation?

Anyways, it's an excellent manga/anime with epic fights, nifty weapons, humorous...humor, but not a one of the main characters uses an axe...wah. Ah well, it's still terrific and it's quite popular, so it's probably all over the YouTube. And because of its popularity, there are several good AMVs floating about. I look forward to more chapters being released in the future.
