Bleach (Eng dub)

  Kenpachi never meets his zanpaktou, he doesn't uh.. "unlock" it or anything. Can't remember very well, but I think he doesn't even know its name. It's like he's just using any old regular sword..
  
  Also, english dubbed is just... no... I'd rather watch all the fillers three times and naruto fillers too before I'd even go near dubbed. It's just a pathetic imitation of the original version, imo.

  By the way though...
  
  Since filler arcs are essentially side stories, is it critical that I watch it in the order that it's presented, or could I, for instance, continue with the main story just to find out how that goes then go back and watch the filler arcs (side stories) after I'm done? Or... will there be important information referenced in them that is mentioned later or something? I mean, 38 episodes is a lot...

  The reason fillers are made is because the Anime is catching up the the Manga too fast or anything along those lines. If the Anime passes the Manga, chances are it'll end up taking a different route in the story. A good example would have been Full Metal Alchemist. A 30+ episode filler means 30+ more chapters in the Manga, thus meaning they can keep following the original plot/story. Movies are pretty much fillers too. There will always be fillers for long going series, 1 Anime Episode = Multiple Manga Chapters.
  
  Anyways, fillers aren't needed to watch, the won't ever effect the main story, the character(s) will never obtain something they'll use in a future arc. For example, Ichigo's power level didn't increase at all during any of the fillers.

  First names being used is sometimes rare even among friends.
  
  But, seriously, the only filler I regretted watching was the Bount arc. Which we can ALL agree on, yes?

  
  
  Obviously I disagree, seeing as to how I mentioned I liked it.

  Yes, I understand the point of fillers. But it's different for the dub than the original production. All they have to do is voice act.

  well in Japan Culture

  
  
  Yeah yeah. I know all about Japanese culture. It's just a weird transition is all I'm saying.
  
  And how they keep saying Vice-Captain instead of Lieutenant and some of the skills are actually worded with their actual meaning instead of the words themselves. It's just weird and unsettling.
  
  edit: Okay, starting at 230 (Season 13), it's not so bad. It was just the remaining 3 of Season 12 that were weird.

  I gotta say... on episode 249 I wanted to punch Orihime in the face. Not only was she useless, but she..!
  [spoiler]Healed the ****ing enemy!!! He was about to die! WHAT THE F...
  
  How retarded can you be!?[/spoiler]
  
  Anyways, I'm on 254 now. Nearly done with this filler arc. It's been a pretty good one so far.

  Only because...
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]it was so tragic. :T_T:
  
  But then, that's often how these filler arcs go. The added (non-canon) characters either disappear into the void of farewells, or die.[/SPOILER]

  Am I forgetting something? :what:
• TA wrote on 2011-09-06 23:44
  Yeah. Princess Rurichiyo Kasumiōji.
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]First when they cut directly out of Hueco Mundo to do filler with those living sword thingies that eat people, then the next time they cut out of Hueco Mundo just as the big fight was about to happen in Karakura Town, with the one where everyone had to play that stupid game because the Princess and her little bodyguard guys were fighting over her policy-thing.[/SPOILER]
• whocares8128 wrote on 2011-09-07 00:04
  Ah, yeah, I forgot about her second appearance. I didn't really have a grasp on what was canon and what was made up for the anime when I watched it. Her second appearance is clearly junk filler. I guess I still think of it as an almost "Oops, we didn't do enough filler! Here's some more..." type of thing.
  
  At least, I hope that's what it was. I would be perfectly happy if she never shows up again.

  I finally finished the filler... Onward, tallyho!
  
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]I've saved 45 Tuesdays already, or... 11.25 months so far.
  
  Hell yeah.[/SPOILER]
  
  edit: P.S. Episode 271... omg... so cool...

  Well, I got up to 310. Looks like it's done for awhile. Onto other things then~
