  yeah i never understood why EVERYONE had to have a bankai. then again, a lot of the minor characters have gotten a big fight so giving them bankai out of nowhere is just....
  
  and most of those characters started out as lowly members of the squad so they shouldn't even have a bankai unless they have been training for hundreds of years for it. if i remember correctly, it takes a long time to achieve bankai, correct?

  Yeah, it should take that long or even more to achieve it, but Kubo trolled us. The best example is Ichigo where strong emotions are better than a thousand years of training. XD

  Well Ichigo is like super special or something because he's [SPOILER="Spoiler"]half human half shinigami (I think)[/SPOILER] right

  I like the first half of the manga was great [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Invading Shinigami world to save Rukia[/SPOILER] then the rest of the manga just went to s**t (in my view) I still read the manga but every new chapter I read, I never get the satisfying feeling or telling myself "reading this chapter made my day".
  
  Reason is I hate Ichigo's character setting. All the other characters are great but his personality and his soo called "special powers" just irritates me [SPOILER="Spoiler"]
  - He faces soo may powerful opponents, gets his ass kicked/ or dies and unleash his super secret hidden power
  - Things he say makes no sense "scene when Ichigo said he will fight fair by cutting his arm and leg off to dying Uliquiorra (spelling?) after losing to his super secret hidden power
  - Every major fight Ichigo has a different look and you will never see it again (maybe to increase the fan's attention?) Why does the looks have that "overated" feeling?
  - Fight scenes doesn't last very long, some end up dying in one hit.
  [/SPOILER]
  
  At the end I love critiquing Bleach, but after reading that I go enjoy my cake (Beelzebub and One Piece)

  So... Anyone read the new chapter? S*** just got real. I could care less about Ichigo's Full Bring being completed, [SPOILER="Spoiler"]when apparently the new antagonist is his cousin[/SPOILER]. I didn't see that coming... I can't wait for the next chapter.

  A plot twist it indeed is. But I'd be coughing up blood if I said it was a good one, even if I was lying. And I would be lying. Kubo's got a thing for introducing new twists but hoping the reader doesn't remember a single detail established in the past (read: turns their brain off for the entire story). Which is why I shall continue to name him Style-Over-Substance Kubo.

  I get the same feeling, like I just read it for the sake of finishing the manga. After all, as you said, the beginning was good (it was what hooked me xD). I totally agree with most of your points (who wants to see him in new clothing every fight? I want moar bath scenes, like when the cat girl was training him....lol), except the last one. If I remember correctly, some (or most) of the fights last several chapters. Not that it is a good thing though.
  
  My number one thing against Bleach (aside from plot holes) is that some pages are completely black, have a foot, or something else that doesn't add anything to the manga. It's a waste (to me, at least).
  
  But yeah, after reading it comes One Piece (Beelzebub is awesome too!). Ah, nothing better than Thursday nights.
  
  
  @Tarvos.....That came out of nowhere. I swear, there was nothing, absolutely nothing, about them having a cousing. O_O
  
  
  @eraparx Not sure what you mean. No one has forgetten him since they got their arses kick by him (or maybe someone else and he is the good guy?O_O).
  
  
  @truefire After thinking about it, is there any reference to a cousin throughout all the story? I can't think of any so far. Guess next chapter there'll be an....."explanation". "Style over substance" totally describes Kubo, did you come up with it? xD

  I feel really bad for not being able to drop this Manga.
  
  I mean, its not even Bleach anymore. I was looking forward to see him with his Shinigami clothes again, but then he goes and gets that derp outfit with that hurr sword which makes him look more of an SinX from Ragnarok than anything.
  
  Its REALLY bothering me to see him in that form, changing the main character basically you're creating an entirely new manga.
  
  But I just am curious not to stop reading it. :c

  There is no direct reference to Ichigo having such a cousin in Bleach. Just like there's no one who knew Ichigo's dad was not just a Shinigami, but a powerful one. I have no idea if Ichigo's dad ever revealed himself to Ichigo, but if he did, it strikes me as odd that he would not have brought up a detail like that. Just sayin'. As for the name, yes, that's all me. :p When I first started using it, it was more so what I expected from Bleach. Trash talk, cool poses, big attacks, standard fare shounen goodness with a Spanish twist, but no depth (even for a shounen series) and a glossing over of key details. Of course back then, I wasn't using it with the negative connotation I do now.

  no duh, Ichigo's dad was strong
  he had a captain's robe
  
  anyways today's chapter smells like Aizen.
  new protagonist, mind****s like aizen
