Well for those who care, Bleach is on chapter 181 (182 should be out tomorrow sometime I think). The "rescue Rukia" arc is FINALLY over! That was probably THE longest arc in manga history. Even Kenshin's Jinchuu arc isn't nearly as long as this arc was. But now that this arc finished I know the next one will probably be pretty long, if not just as long. I wonder what strange things await this series. It still rocks though. I've also been getting into the Bleach "B" Station radio shows that air every week in Japan. They're kind of funny. Even if you can't understand everything they're saying, it's still hilarious just to listen to them talk. I think it's a different voice actor guest every month. First month was the woman who does Rukia (and boy she sure sounds way different when she's talking normally), second guest was the one who does Renji (he sounds similar, if not the same), and this month is Kon (who sounds different). With them every month is the voice actor of Ichigo, who sounds about the same (and is ALWAYS laughing). Hilarity ensues. Example, first episode they were discussing what the "B" in Bleach B Station could stand for. Ichigo's VA was also finding every sponsor he could that started with "B." In the most current ep the voice actor for Kon was describing how he auditioned for Kon, starting with this really high-pitched cutesey-voice and progressively getting into the way he is now. It's hilarious. Anyway, if you're not convinced, check it out for yourself. This website has them all.

I just saw the Bleach OAV, entitled "Memories in the Rain." I believe that this OAV actually came out before the series started (might have been one of the reasons Bleach was picked up to be a series, but I don't know that kind of information for a fact). It's basically all of volume 3 of the manga (except for the last few pages)--that is, how Ichigo's mother died, Grand Fisher and that.
Unlike the anime version, the OAV follows the manga extremely close, only varying in a few spots (for the better, I thought). All the voice actors are the same except for Kon, who was voiced by Kubo Tite (sp?), the creator and author of Bleach. He only has a couple of tiny lines though, so it's hard to tell what he sounds like. Even still, I thought that was great [and I remember hearing a rumor that he was supposed to have been Kon through the series as well, but due to complications or something he had to drop out].
Anyway, there won't be any fansubs of it (apparently, at least for now) because they feel that it's easier just to tell people to read the manga (even though, as I said, there are differences). Anyone who is a Bleach fan should check it out though, it's well worth the 20 minutes.

So I just finished episode 37 (raw). The ep is entirely about Sado (Chad). If you're a Sado fan you're going to love this episode. If you're not, you probably won't like it much. Ichigo only appears in flashbacks. No mention of Ishida/Orihime/Yoruichi/the others. Looks like the next episode will be back to Ichigo vs Kenpachi though.

38 was cool, but episode 39 will be awesome.
Also the OAV was finally subbed, though I'm starting to dislike how much liberty Lunar takes with their subs. I mean, stretching a few things here and there is good and all (to help it read better) but it's starting to sound more like the old DBZ fansubs where every line has cussing in it, when in truth there's very little to none of that going on. Ah well.

I wanted to do this chapter yesterday but work had me so mad that I just couldn't think straight. Today I've calmed down quite a bit. Anyway, it's there.

Bleeeeeeeeaaaaaaachhhh SPLASH!
This thread needs more Bleach. >_>
So anyways, even though #50 was a filler episode it was still awesome. (On par with the last filler episode, #33)
I can't wait to see the next adventures of the Karakura Super Heroes (if they ever decide to make another one.)

Yeah, we need more people to comment on this great series. And I'm sure there will be another one. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) They're catching up to the manga too quickly so I wouldn't be surprised if there's another Karakura Super Heroes ep soon.
