 You know, when people complained about Bleach being worse than Naruto, I didn't believe them.

I do know.

It's like everybody is fucking Sasuke.

Everyone is also super dumb.

This is the worst rescue I have ever seen in my life.

The only good part was when Rukia and Ichigo finally meet. That was awesome but the rest just made me want to stab someone.

That, and Ishida continuing to be The Girl.

Seriously, for the past fifty chapters it has been nothing but Sasuke  Ichigo getting stronger. It's boring and unbelievable and makes me hate him and hate his enemies for not killing him and hate everyone who isn't just sayin grab Rukia and make a break for it and hating Rukia for being weak after a month in prison and just in general it's hate hate hate.

Also, cracky random ideas for Naruto.

So, correct me if I'm wrong but Sai's older brother is light-haired and older - could he have been crazy-weird-name-guy who went to Orochimaru of his own will and was buddy-buddy with Juugo?

Also, there is only ONE situation in which I would accept Kakashi dying.

And that is if Sakura got his sharingan.

Wouldn't it be epic? Fucked up and tragic yet epic.

Also, I really miss the team of Cloud Nins who were going to deal with team motherfucking snakes.

Kakashi never dies. 60 years from now he's sitting in his apartment at the table, wheelchair nearby, and a ninja jumps into his window, so he throws a fork into the intruder's eyeball. Then he moans and clutches his old arthritic hand and demands to know who is the foul tyrant who sent the guy to steal his precious books at his vulnerable age.

Well, that crosses Bleach off my list of manga to read. It was already in the 'intimidatingly long' category, but now it goes in the 'idiot world plot' category as well.

Oh, god. Sakura getting Kakashi's sharingan. EPIC WIN.

And word on the Cloud nins. I liked them.

It's starting to look like Bleach is not worth it. I need to find some manga that is, I feel like I'm woefully under-read.

You mean Kimimaro, or whatever his name was? Er, uh, I don't think so? They look pretty different. It would be a fun idea, though.

And that is if Sakura got his sharingan.

Yeeeeees this this this. Isn't there a fanart of her with all of "her boys'" memorabilia, and she's got his eye? It was pretty awesome.

Although if she does, we won't be able to bitch about what a cheap technique the sharingan is. Like, it's cool in theory, but with the way Kishimoto writes you know she'd suddenly become all god-mod like she never would have been powerful with out a super-special borrowed bloodline limit. And yet somehow still get shafted. He'd find a way to do it.

I tend to hear the opposite: that Bleach is better than Naruto. Which I’ve never understood, because, granted, Naruto has its (many, many) flaws, but at the very least the plot keeps moving forward, the fights aren’t as horribly formulaic and have some modicum of strategy involved, and at least half the characters are likable.

Ugh. Ichigo. The worst possible combinations of both Naruto and Sasuke’s traits. I can count on one hand the amount of times in the manga I’ve found him even vaguely interesting. (For the record: when he was dealing with his mom’s killer, and when him and Rukia were doing their supernatural/spirit buddy cop routine.)

And yeah, Sakura with a Sharingan would be pretty badass.

Sakura gets Kakashi's Sharingan? OH HELLS YES! Except then Sakura would be a victim of the Mary-Sueing of any and all Sharingan characters... but then Kishimoto's scorn for the ladies might balance out his love for the Sharingan... THIS WOULD BE EPIC.

Oh Bleach. I am thisclose to dumping Bleach. When I keep hearing that Kubo is no better, possibly worse, than Kishimoto with the ladies, it is not encouraging! Plus the stuff you mentioned, which I haven't even got to that part.

Sorry...But I couldn't help commenting...

My personal opinion of Ichigo has always seen him as one of the more traditionally noble characters out there. In any fandom. Yes, he always seeks to get stronger, like Sasuke, but the difference is that Sasuke always has himself in mind, where Ichigo has other people in mind. The basis of his character always reminded me more of Harry Dresden (Dresden Files) or Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer.)I just kind of wrote off the powerups and such as a genre tradition (Naruto has those too, I might add).

*cringes* Not trying to argue or anything, just supply a different perspective, that's all.

SO SO glad I don't read Bleach. I barely keep up with Naruto. I read like the first eight volumes or so in my freshman year of high school, but the interest faded because a) Ichigo and Rukia both bugged me, which is a bad thing because they're basically the main characters and b) I stopped liking manga enough to follow more than like three series at a time.

Light-haired guy as in Kimimaro? whoaaaa then wouldn't Sai have that same bone-stabby bloodline limit thing? (Is that even a bloodline limit? I have no idea.)

On the topic of Sharingan!Sakura: Yes. Yes, that would be very tragic indeed. ;_;

I could have warned you. (I was going to protest the Sasuke/Ichigo comparison, but since I want into my brain and realized that they are each my favorite main characters of their respective series, I no longer have anything to say, and will sit in my corner of fail.)

So, correct me if I'm wrong but Sai's older brother is light-haired and older - could he have been crazy-weird-name-guy who went to Orochimaru of his own will and was buddy-buddy with Juugo?


Kimimaro. And no, Sai's brother has a name--we were given it by databook 3. It's Shin. And Kimimaro's history is pretty much spoken for. I would have loved that, though. :[

...that is if Sakura got his sharingan

YES. THAT. THAT WOULD WIN SO HARD.

Also, I really miss the team of Cloud Nins who were going to deal with team motherfucking snakes.

*agrees* I GOT ALL EXCITED FOR THEM! REMEMBER THAT? YOU WERE THERE! WASN'T I EXCITED? I want my dorktastic Cloud team with more than one female NAO.
