Your knowledge can't be any worse off than mine. I only watch the Adult Swim episodes of Bleach. So if you do that you are in my boat. Most of the people here do watch it as it comes out in Japan, but I'm pretty sure that there was at least at some point someone else besides me that watched the Adult Swim episodes only. Either way, there is plenty of material on the show on Wikipedia if you want to brush up on your Bleach knowledge. I do that fairly often which gives me a more equal footing with the rest around here. Though I still am over a hundred episodes behind them.

On that note I was looking at the Bleach wikipedia page today to see how many episodes of the Soul Society arc we had left. I thought it was longer, but either way. I noticed that the new filler arc with the new Captain is starting up in like two weeks or so. So I am wondering how long that is going to last seeing as they need to give Tite more time to get out ahead of the anime. I would have thought that they would have planned it a little better though seeing as stopping in the middle of the arc is a little awkward. They should have just stopped before the Heuco Mondo arc started up knowing that they would be getting close to Tite.
