Bleach Club

[Xeim]

I also watched the second movie recently, and enjoyed it. I liked the first one a lot better, but it was nice to see something focused on Hitsugaya.

I'm also quite pleased that the horrid filler that has been airing in Japan is finally over, and we're back to the Hueco Mundo arc!

Also, it's really great to see you again Suzu! It's been forever. As Andro has said, the Rp is still going. We've only got four or five people writing for it, but it's staying alive. We're getting our zanpakutos right now, so if you'd like to join back up (And you're more than welcome to) now might be an exciting time to do so. You'll probably want to make a new character,though, since Andro is writing for Kagashi now. Send me a PM or find me on MSN if you're interested in getting back into it. I'd love to have you writing in it again. ^^

[Azuteor]

Haven't seen you around in forever Suzu. The RP is plugging away still we are getting our Zanpakutos now, so we are past the class stuff. So it is getting to be more interesting. Your character is still running around though albeit a lot different than when you were playing him I'd imagine. But I didn't have a lot to go off when I had to pick him up.

You coming back like Rika?

Woah, awesome! xD Too bad that I got off too early to even get past the class part of the RP and I apologize for giving you the burden of having to control another character to keep the RP going. I've been keeping an eye on the club since I'm becoming more addicted to Bleach ever since the Hueco Mundo Arc is back and getting caught with the current story in the manga.

I was planning on doing a Bleach manga, but I have this curse of not getting past the first page, bwaha.

Yup!

Gahd, yes, that filler! Aren't all fillers horrible? Haha, the Bounto arc wasn't as great either. The interesting part during the arc is that Rukia finally gets to see Ichigo with a hollow mask, but hasn't she noticed that before? I don't think everyone, except Orihime, has seen it since the gang is separated into another battle.

Spoiler: sources: Diamond Dust Rebellion movie, Bleach 223 The Scarlet Creation Anyways, this might be a topic that could create a discussion, it may be a short-lived discussion, but it least it would generate some ideas about the upcoming plot twists that are gonna come in the future. In Diamond Dust Rebellion, Sojiro Kusaka uses the King's Seal in order to become more powerful. Do you think that this item will have ties to the Oken and Reio? *Oken is the key used to get to the dimension where the King and the Royal Guard resides in. Former Captains who are promoted become a part of the Royal Guard. *Reio or Spirit King

I would love to get back in with a new character!

[Andromeda]

Its alright Suzu, I managed to keep Kagashi alive. Though he has undergone a number of changes that make him probably completely different from when you envisioned him. He just ended up tagging along side Steph since I was more focused him my own character than writing a second one that needed to be of equal importance. So Kagashi shrank and became extremely underdeveloped. But I found him something now, though it does end up still tying back into Steph. Kagashi doesn't have much since things are ceased between Haruka and him, so I needed to do something with him so he wasn't just always doing his own thing like Steph.

As for fillers you have to admit that the Bleach filler arc is superior to Naruto's fillers. Be glad that the people doing Bleach actually gave us a whole arc and story rather than so many small little arcs that are completely worthless and terribly done. So I say we should be grateful for a solid and complete filler arc even if it is weaker than the main story. Though with the way Bleach is right now they had no where they could go to put in a filler arc. The whole Arrancar issue and Aizen has yet to come to any sort of stopping or completion point. So they are only going to be able to find really bad spots to stop the story and make incontinuities in them. Oh well, at least it was shorter than the Bount arc. I'll be interested in seeing what they end up doing when we get there, though that'll be in two years time since that is almost 80 episodes away till then.

And you are working on a Bleach Doujinshi? That is cool, you could almost consider the Bleach RP here one as well, though naturally it is not drawn. But it cool be. ^^;

[Victoria]

Yeah, the RP is actually my future project to be a doujinshi. Already talked about it with Xeim, and she said that it'd be cool.

I just have to practice drawing and stuff. =P

[Azuteor]

@Andromeda

You could have killed my character off haha or I could when I get back in. I'm all for it so you don't have to have to control two characters, but it seems that everything is being handled well. *thumbs up*

You have a good point there and I appreciate that Bleach didn't do what Naruto did haha.

I'd probably be doing something like Kon's Shinigami Golden bits at the end of the Bleach episode. Other than that, I'm not sure about getting into the story just yet. I'm trying to get Tite Kubo's style down... =w=;

I think I will leave the Bleach RP to Mistress Sheena to have fun with.

@Mistress Sheena

Awesome! I can't wait to see the manga version of the Bleach Rp!

[Andromeda]

Yeah, I could have killed him off, but that would be a little extreme. Not to mention at the time Kagashi and Haruka were a couple. So that would probably have devastated Haruka, would have been an interesting character development though I guess.

But yeah, figuring out Tite's style will be the most challenging part since it is not your style. But also long as they look pretty close it should be fine if you are not perfect with the replication.

Kagashi did a lot of changing in my last post I made if you were interested, but keep in mind it is very long to read. I don't know how much of the RP you have read if any since you came back. There is a lot of stuff to read there seeing as I have 140 pages of my own in there and who knows how much for everyone else.

[Evangel]

Wow, lots of action going on since I last showed up, no? I need to be more active -_-'

Anyways welcome to whoever is coming back and any new people -I'm kind of lost in this area in what is going on- To Azuetor: Welcome back? I looked at your DeviantArt and I am really impressed by your work. I say keep your own style, instead of using Tite Kubo's. Having that unique look to a Bleach piece would be pretty cool, in my opinion. Having the RP be a doujinshi would be amazing, seeing our characters in color would be absolutely spectacular. Speaking of which... could you draw mine? Lol, jk.

Hopefully I'll get more involved after Holloween is done and over with. Chances are I will noticibly get more active mid next week, or at least the weekend. I just got the best idea! Being a Hollow for Holloween! Wouldn't that be aswesome? Hahaha, I know, that sounds kinda corny. Now I'm off the the RP!!! *flies away*

[Victoria]

Haha...

I'll be drawing everyone's characters eventually. As would be evident at some point in the RP. I hope you'll like the style that I eventually come up with.

I don't really have one right now, as I've been slacking with my drawing practice. ^_^;

Haha thanks for checking my deviantart out! I bought the latest Bleach manga (23 and 24) and art book, All Colour But The Black. Replicating Tite Kubo's style is pretty difficult even with references because my art style would always get in the way, but I guess it's not such a bad thing if my style is influenced by Tite Kubo, right?

Mistress Sheena is gonna do the manga version of the Rp. I'm just gonna draw my own manga pages for my own posts. oAol|l

I was planning to be an unknown vaizard along with a custom made hollow mask, but the project resulted in failure. I screwed up the mask after each attempt of fixing it. It's too late now haha. I'll just dress up in my usual clothing, grab a scarf, and carry my wooden sword. What are you planning to do for Halloween other than dressing up as a hollow? I'm gonna play Dead Space and Order of Ecclesia during the night.. *shivers*

[Secret Weapon]

I've been meaning to show my face for a while but just never got around to it. But, I've been watching a couple new episode's and now the developing of the story is unraveling itself.

I've finally seen Renji's Bankai (cause I didn't get to see him and Beyahkuya fight) and might I say I was pretty impressed tho I thought he was a goner for a while.

Rukia somewhat has shown her true (Soul Reaper) self but I can't help but be tempted by Shoenin not displaying her zanpakuto's power. Anybody care to tell me when can I expect this happening?

Also, Kahreya explained to Ichigo the true purpose of the Bounts mission and why they needed the power they desired. Pretty much, it's getting kinda close to what I've seen fast fowarding this and I would love to see how this turns up.

There are some other things I wish to discuss but, I'll let these ride out for you guys.

[Sinister]

I'm still on the bount arc...it just reminds me that English dubs are awful. Why does it seem to be stuck!? The manga is still going strong, but it's all so...draggy. I'm frustrated. It's been a while since a nice strong plot point/twist was used and I KNOW they have some good ones left.

Anyway...

Which one of the characters would make a good President?


-Sin

[Zardoch]

I suppose I'll join as well, though there is something I want to say.

Bleach is pissing me off. The anime that is, because from the start of the newest arc, I feel like I'm watching reruns of DBZ. Not only that, but I am VERY TIRED OF WATCHING ALMOST EVERY SINGLE MAIN CHARACTER CURRENTLY IN THE ARC BEING PRACTICALLY TORTURED! Seriously, this whole 'let's overdramatize and beat the shit out of the main characters' is getting STUPID. **** man, it's getting ridiculous to a point where I would've stopped watching if Zaraki hadn't joined in. This constant dragging of fights/story is making this anime hard to watch. The creators need to wise up, but I doubt that'll ever happen.

[Xeim]

Welcome, Blacksmith. It's good to finally see some posts in the club again.

I have to agree with you on the quality of the anime. Even so, I'm not quite ready to switch to the manga. (Not that I could even get the pages to load with my current connection -_-)

I'm a few weeks behind on bleach now since I lost internet for a while, and my current connection is waaaay too slow to be downloading things with. It may be another couple weeks before I download them, and then longer before I'm caught up. =/ But it'll get there eventually...

I must say, I was happy to finally see

SPOILER!!:

Nel's true form

in the Japanese anime. Though, their abrupt switch to Ishida and Renji not long after pissed me off quite a bit. -_-

Well Blacksmith, I'll add you to the members list right away. Also, feel free to join the RP if you want.

[Azuteor]

This constant dragging of fights/story is making this anime hard to watch. The creators need to wise up, but I doubt that'll ever happen.

The manga is ahead of the anime, so a change in the way that the story and the fights are presented in the show probably won't happen. Noriyuki Abe and Studio Pierrot are following the manga that Tite Kubo creates. Talk to him since many of the viewers are having problems with it.

You gotta cut him some slack though since Bleach is the reason why he is making a living and becoming popular. His previous creation, Zombiepowder, did not do as well as Bleach did. It is pretty difficult to come up with new ideas after so long, right? Instead of watching the entire the episode, just skip around and you'll get what happened.

>_<; If only somebody else animated the manga. Endure it just a bit longer. I don't think the anime will be done yet since there are a lot of things that haven't been covered yet like the Royal Guard or the King of Soul Society. *sighs* The series will most likely hit the 500s and not finish.

I must say, I was happy to finally see Nel's true form
in the Japanese anime.

Neliel was pretty cool, but I would've expected her voice to be more mature than remain kiddish. Haha. xD

[Zardoch]

Well, now they FINALLY move to some battles, and what do they do? 'LET'Z MAKE ANZ EPISODEZ WHERE DA BAD GUY SITS THERE TALKING FOR MOST OF IT AND THEN END THE END OWN HIM, LOL!'

Give me a ****ing break. They've been doing this since EPISODE NINETY TWO with the Bount arc and I am so very sick of it now. Now, we're at 197 and it's taken them THIS long to get to a fight. Don't get me wrong, anime that are one-dimensional without any story development suck, but most modern anime seems to stick to this mediocrity and OVERUSED comedy-relief characters. Also, it's these characters that have become some stereotypical retards who can't even get the looney toon comedy right.

The other problem with Bleach I've mentioned before is the fact it has TOO MANY CHARACTERS. It's no longer about Ichigo, but every single trendy character that's just so 'darn cool' and usually 'emo-ish'. I've been waiting for Bleach to wise up for MONTHS, but I'm seriously losing hope that the people producing this anime will ever get their heads out of their asses.

[Andromeda]

Well I picked up Volume 25 of the Bleach Manga so I got to the Visoreds and Ichigo dual his inner hollow for control as well as fully hollowified Ichigo. It was all pretty cool stuff, but it seemed that the whole thing happened and went so quickly. But I guess that is just because it was done in like 2 or 3 chapters though it felt like only one chapter. But still it is nice to see them doing things and then Hitsugaya at the end got some page time with the true goal of Aizen being told at that point. It is going to be fun seeing this animated when it comes out on AS.

The last episode was Episode 90, so we only have about 20 more episodes to go before we get back to the manga episodes and the start of the ever so long Arrancar Arc that never ends. ^^; Yeah, I know that they are still doing the Arrancar Arc even now even if it is broken up in to Heuco Mondo and whatever the new stuff that is taking place above Karakura Town is being called. Wikipedia and curiosity are a bad thing for me. ^^; But it all still about the Arrancar, but I guess they could be calling it something different for a sub-arc or whatever. Either way it is still the same thing of stop Aizen and his army.

Welcome to the club Blacksmith. It should be refreshing to have a vocal member. I can't speak to the new stuff coming out since I haven't seen or read it just seen summaries from different sources. But you should at least be glad that Tite doesn't drag out fights and the anime doesn't seem to do that either from what I have seen. They are a little longer, but not to the stupid proportions that we have seen in other shows. Most fights are resolved in a handful of chapters in the manga. But I will admit it does have a very large cast of characters. Which are no doubt hard to keep going all the time. He seems to play favorites I think a lot of times, probably the ones that are fan favs so that people stay around. I doubt many people are interested in seeing Squad 1's Vice-Captain fighting. They'd rather see Hitsugaya or Renji or someone like that. Even if Ichigo did one hit knock out the guy.

The Bount arc itself has been interesting to watch and while not as fun as a manga episode, simply because in the manga episodes you see something new from the character each fight generally while here they are very limited in what they can do. So most fights get a little old since the characters are not really allowed to advance like they do in the manga. But I'm looking forward to seeing the Arrancar arc that I've been reading the last few months. Just wish that they would catch up on the manga like they are doing with Naruto.

One point that you make in there about it not being about Ichigo anymore but the others. I like that, since I get tired of it always being on the main character and I am afraid of it being Ichigo in the end saving everyone. I don't want it to be like that. Because I've seen in DBZ and Yu yu Hakusho and Inuyasha. In the end only the main character is allowed to win because they are the strongest. I like that in Bleach Ichigo is certainly not the strongest of the good characters, he is certain high on the list, but if he went up against some of the other captains he probably would lose even if it would be a hard fought fight. Pretty sure Yamamato would clean his clock faster than he could blink if Yamamato really wanted to try. Means that Tite doesn't have to rely on Ichigo to save the day he can have others do it sometimes, so its not always the same formula.

If you only just got to episode 90, you're about to be berated with drawn out fights. Not only that, but even AFTER that arc, it practically becomes a soap opera with the typical anime comedy with most of the members taking SO MANY EPISODES to enhance themselves and what not. AND THEN they decided to create a filler arc RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUNDO ARC, which was an utter waste of money. And NOW they're finally getting back to that arc, except for the past 8 episodes, it's been nothing but 'let's kick the shit out of the main characters'. Not only that, but it took them FOREVER to put one simple fight in one episode. Just a bunch of bad guys with egos and "i gotz godmodding powers, lol" while the main characters struggle to do ANYTHING at all.

That's not bad enough, besides the 2 minute intro, they also add a 3 minute flash-back of the episode that ultimate makes each episode only about 15-17 minutes long, WHICH IS BULLSHIT! If they didn't waste so much time with the flashbacks, they could actually add more to each episode and ultimately make them more satisfying despite the dragging torture of characters and fights..

I actually agree here. It would get stupid with Ichigo basically going all SS at the end of every arc and saving everybody, and I honestly don't like Ichigo all that much. In fact, I hate most retarded-yet extremely lucky-powerful main characters that seem to pull as much shit out of their ass like an RPB noob who's afraid of losing. But the problem is that there is simply too many characters that need to be developed and trying to interact them with each other like they are is extremely difficult and one of the reason why episodes drag on for so long. I just wish they would throw some episodes on the back-seat so that they can flesh out other characters WITHOUT resorting to stupid flashbacks that are pretty much boring episodes. In the end, with what they have, most of these flashbacks are predictable too.

Now, there is one other concept that could save them, and it's the concept based on George R.R. Martin's series, A Song of Fire and Ice. The book has so many characters that it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with them all, but George found a different way to solve that problem. Instead of writing in second person or third person, each chapter is based on the view of one character. Then one character interacts with most of the characters he's grouped around with. So each chapter there's always something going on with each of these characters, but they're all able to stay interlinked storywise. If Bleach could do that, I would shut up right now.

[Andromeda]

Wow, I've been gone from the club for a long time. Things got a little busy for me in the last month or so and well December is hazy to me. Either way, I've been keeping up on Bleach as usual. I don't think a new volume of the manga came out yet, but they are getting close to wrapping up the Bount arc. They aired episode 101 this last Saturday. And they only have like 8 more to go and then we get back into the good stuff. So I'm getting pretty excited about that since I've been reading about it.

I figure I'll probably be posting a little more when the new arc starts up since it will be focusing on the manga's story again. Anyone seen Fade to Black yet? I've been curious about how good it is. I just know what I've found on the internet, which is that it is about Rukia and everyone forgets about Ichigo or something and so Renji doesn't have his Bankai.

[Xeim]

Hey guys. It sure has been quite a while. ^^; I've been pretty busy with life, and haven't really had a lot of time for foruming. I hope that'll change sometime soon, but we'll see. Sorry I sort of disappeared out of the blue.

I'm really just dropping in to let everyone know I'm not dead, especially those of you in the RP. I don't really know when I'll be able to come back "full time" and contribute to the RP again, but I don't want to give up on it either! Keep posting please. =3 Or at least keep it in your thoughts until I get back, haha.

Andro, I haven't seen Fade to Black yet. I'm not quite sure that it's been released as a DVD yet, so I don't think anyone's been able to sub it. I'm keeping an eye out for it.

Also, the Japanese anime has gotten to the Turn Back the Pendulum Arc (is this the proper name?). I'm enjoying it thoroughly so far, it's certainly amusing. I don't really want to go into detail unless someone brings up something specific, as I'll probably sit here for a while spewing irrelevant nonsense. Whee!

Well, that's all for today. I hope to talk to everyone again soon!

Take care,

-Xeim-

[Andromeda]

Well who knows it is the internet someone could have sneaked it in or something. But I'm really curious about it, but I want to see Diamond Dust since it is about Hitsugaya and it look really cool. Yeah, I know that's pretty silly, but its Bleach and I enjoy it.

But it is good see you up and about. I haven't seen you in a while and was wondering what was up. I've been eagerly waiting to finish up my other post as well as get working on what I talked to you about. I figure that when we get to that point I'll let everyone know about what is going on. In the meantime I'll just sit on my next post until, well I think I'm the last poster so until someone else comes along at least.

And Bleach is up to 104 tomorrow, which means that after that they only have 5 episodes left before the Arrancar Arc. Unfortunately, Adult Swim's schedule does not make it clear if they will be going into or taking another hiatus like they did near the end of the Soul Society Arc. They don't have numbers after 109 so I'm fearful that I'll have to wait like 3 months or longer for new episodes of what I really want to see.

I have volume 26 of the manga now, which was a fun read since Ichigo gets to fight Grimmjow again this time with his mask. He does a good number on him, but still fails with his mask disappearing so quickly. He managed to get in some good hits and did the right thing in saying that I don't have time to talk. Tite could have easily made those 11 seconds drag out if he wanted. It still felt a tad long, but it wasn't bad. And Urahara is on the field again. I can't wait to see what does. I wish he would use his Bankai sometime so we could see what the talk is all about. He says it is not good for training and Renji's is? Though I guess of all of the Bankai's it is probably one of the safer and tamer ones. Poor Renji.

[Azuteor]

Hey Xeim! It's nice to see you drop by! It has gotten a lot quieter here in TFF. I haven't forgotten about the Bleach manga and the Rp. I hope you come back for good!

I haven't been watching a lot of Bleach lately. I sorta lost interest in the anime because I read ahead into the story by looking at the recent Bleach manga chapters, haha. As soon as the Turn Back the Pendulum Arc is finished, things will get interesting and at that point, I might go back to watching the anime. I was certainly surprised when I found out that the Vaizards used to be ex-shinigami!

[Andromeda]

Spoiler: I'd be cautious about spoilers. I already figured that they were shinigami since it made sense. Otherwise they would have been random people that gained shinigami powers and then gained hollow powers. I just was a little amused to find out that they were captains or vice-captains, but if they weren't then they would hardly be even a challenge for Ichigo and the Arrancar.

I'm just waiting to see them do something more than just sit around and train Ichigo. They seem uninterested in actually aiding Ichigo's fight in Karakura town against the invading Arrancar. The Vizored have to be at least as strong as Ichigo or any other Captain if not possibly stronger. So they should be able to take on the higher class Arrancar without much trouble. Bet they could show Grimmjow a thing or two. I figure that Tite is waiting until they are desparately needed or something, but apart from Aizen they could probably deal with everyone else that Aizen throws at them.

Tonight I believe that Ichigo is going to be getting close to fighting Kariya or whatever his name is. It should be coming soon since Hitsugaya beat up Koga pretty easily. It was sort of funny how easy it was for him to beat Koga's doll with minimal effort. There's not much left.

[Sinister]

Hurrah, the RP! Also, it's great to see you back, Xeim. Hope everything is going well.

Also, the Pendulum swings back is now in episodes and they're out of that horrible arc. Yet another hurrah, imo.

I can't promise that I'll be on here all that much as of yet, but I'll try and I'll try.

-Sin

[Secret Weapon]

WOW... it's been almost forever since I been in here posting but I'm still with the same interest in this anime.

I've been trying to go down to Indianapolis' Public Library and brush up on the very start of Bleachs' manga books but they don't have enough of them there. Can anybody feel me in where I could find some? A website would be nice.

But yeah, I've been tuning in to the weekends of Bleach we get over here and things have turned up a bit more then the usual recap intros, pick up where we left off scenes. I'm just wondering why is it that Kariya hasn't shown his doll until now. At the start of this Bunto arc, I had thought from the start when Rontao gave him the charm that he had merged with his doll and once a Bount merges with their doll, the fusion couldn't be reversed. If someone has any prior knowledge of this, I'd appreciate the feedback.

Other than that, I'd like to get into some magna too because watching weekends of Bleach isn't cutting it for me. I tried to check out some DVD's of it and I don't have the funds necessary for my obsessity.

I'll be trying to read from the start up because I haven't watched all the episodes of Bleach from the start probably around the episode's where Shoenin had stopped airing episodes here when Ichigo arrived at the Sokiyoku to save Rukiya.

[Andromeda]

I think the reason that Kariya didn't show his doll is because when you merge with the doll you can control whether you use it or not. So he just always had it available to him, but kept it away. What's her face at the beginning merged with her's and needed the power immediately to fight with Kariya. So that is why. I don't think it is permanent always on sort of thing even merged. That is my thoughts anyway.

We've got 2 episode left before the Bount Arc is completely finished. The new season of Bleach is supposed to be starting in Japan soon. They are going to have a new OP I would imagine. So I can't wait to see what it is going to be like. And Adult Swim has it marked for two episodes of Bleach starting in three weeks. So I don't know what they are planning and if they are going to be going to new episodes or not. I hope they do, I want to see the episodes that I've been reading in my manga.

[Secret Weapon]

They started with new episodes (not the Japan series season) but I've got to say that they started to wise up on how I like my filling of Bleach. They're showing two new episodes each weekend (when epi. 110 & 111 came on I was like about time! ) I'm not going to spoil it for newcomers but, things have got MOUMENTOUSLY interesting. There are a couple of things I would like to point out.

First off, I'd thought that Uriyu's dad had abandoned his powers? He still had them & is now trying to make Uriyu completely turn away from Ichigo to retain back his Quincy powers. I wasn't really surprised like this because he stated in the Soul Society when he was fighting that female Bount that he wasn't WITH (alongside) Ichigo & the gang. They just had a sole purpose together at the time. I'd like to see what his decision will be & how this scene will turn out.

Second off, why did Ichigo's father hide his powers all this time for? I mean I can understand him being that powerful & his ranking but he could've been helping Ichigo all this time!!! He's pretty bad ass to me... I just hate it when they introduce a new Soul Reaper to me & don't show their zanpukto's true form or their Bankai. I guess I'll just have to sit in temptation...

Lastly,why are the Vizards, Arrancars, and Menos Grandes all showing this sudden? Have I been late on this (I haven't seen much of the earlier Bleach episodes) or have all of this been going on? Shouldn't have the Vizards been here a long time ago, trying to initiate Ichigo into their clan? I mean they were Soul Reapers before so why take so long? I haven't seen that blonde Vizard before so that's why I ask.

I want to get my hands on some MANGA ! Can anyone tell me where I can find & buy some? A website would be nice...

I get all of my Bleach manga from Borders, but any bookstore that sells manga should have Bleach, its popular enough. As for the Vizards and Arrancar showing up, this is their time and pretty much what the rest of the show is going to be about, more so the Arrancar. But they are getting their introductions now. And I'm pretty certain that neither of them were Menos Grande they were all Arrancar, really weak ones, but they were all Arrancar.

But yeah, I'm excited about them finally airing two episodes as well. Only problem will be if they end up going on hiatus sooner because of it. But it doesn't really matter to me it means more Bleach for me. So I'll be happy. We've got about 60 episodes of manga episodes before filler again. So we got a good stretch of time. Fortunately, the next filler is only like 20 episodes long as a single season. Though the anime is closing in on the manga with only like 30 chapters away I think. But I also think that they are stretching out some of the episode a touch to make it last longer knowing that they can too easily catch up. I'm actually surprised that they are doing another season before filler.

Speaking of which, who's seen the new opening for the new season. >< I don't really like it that much. I like the last one because it made me feel like I was watching the first season's opening, but I know from a story point of view it was a little strange since what they are doing now makes more sense for the opening that they showed. Though after the filler arc that they had the openings have been more random and less getting you pumped about the story for the current arc. I think they could have done a really amazing sequence with the stuff that is going to be happening. What are everyone else's thoughts on the new opening?
