Huh. No wonder Onizuka used to collect them in both languages.

Personally my least favourite thing about the Viz releases is the alterations to the covers. Okay, I could do without that ugly Jump Comics logo, but the often ridiculous and generally dramatic titles contribute greatly to the atmosphere of each volume, if you ask me. And where would the delicious gayitude of #31 be without that wonderful pink lettering? :D

They're not bad, except for the second one (which admittedly isn't helped by the badness of the original art), it's just I really think that the camp titles were part of the paintings. I don't see how the one with Szayal is going to look right without the title that matches his hair. And book thirty will lose its emotional impact. I know they preserve the titles on the back cover, but it's not the same.

And seeing as I just bitched about the FAKE translations, I think I should point out that I prefer the English covers to the Japanese ones, and they're substantially altered. :D

I like the original covers for Bleach. They have a lot more personality

Oh, I love them! They're nearly identical, but they have the titles sprawled across the cover in big colourful letters too! I'll dig up a few of my favourites after breakfast. :D

Oh yeah, the centring and stuff of the characters is sometimes off. Rukia on book two looks awful in both editions, but worse in the US print, because she's been enlarged to fill the space better.

*beats head repeatedly against desk*

Why oh WHY can't they consistently make Ulquiorra look good in the anime? GAH! He looked so good last week and then I saw this weeks episode...

*rocks and whimpers in corner*

Aww, :hug:

Maybe because he's so awesome they can't accurately capture it so sometimes they just wimp out. :scratch:

Sid,
I'm sorry, but what are you talking about? :P Sure, in 161 Ulqui got rather a lot of attention in terms of budget, but he looked pretty fantastic throughout 162, and he was never once off model, as far as I could tell. Do you want me to show you some seriously bad character art that actually aired? Because I can do it. :Wooper:

Oh yeah, and that was a fucking awesome episode. :blackeye: It pwned the last one into obliteration, and was one of the most exciting and well-done ones since the group first came to Hueco Mundo. :D

Poor Hime-chan! :(

*~Pips~*

Yeah, I got grief from other Ulqui lovers for saying that too. I don't know...I think he looked pretty off in some parts of the episode. But since everyone says he looked awesome throughout, I guess I'll give it another looksie. XD

I totally agree that the Hime part was awesome...POOR Hime! *sniff*

You know, now that I think about it, I think reading the manga is ruining the anime for me. >< Cause I KNOW if I hadn't read that scene like a year ago and then repeatedly read it throughout the year, I would have adored that episode through and through. ><

Shoddy direction absolutely ruined what should have been two of the big fights. (Rukia/Kaien!thing and Chad/everyone). Apart from that though, I do think watching the manga first helps. Was this week's episode really a year ago? I'll be relived if that's the case, because I really can't take much more filler and heel-dragging.

Also, I read the only mpreg fic I've ever enjoyed last night. Does anybody want a link? :LMAO:

I need a good screencapping program now that Szayel is actually in the anime.

:love:

I say mpreg, you say Szayel... wow, it's like you read my mind. :D

All I can think about when I watch the anime is fat, angry Szayel, eating ice cream and bitching at people. :LMAO:

*goes back to writing epic MGS3 fanfic*

*~Pips~*

Seriously, I really didn't need that thought.

Especially tonight.

Nah, it's cool. Seriously. I like Szayel rather a lot - you'll find enough character elements of his that I used a long time ago in the design for my OC, Hideki! ^^; Both of them are thin-faced, with long noses and effeminate features. Both have dark yellow eyes. Both have impossibly gay-looking hair, probably without dying it, and tend to put it up in rather gay ways, ostensibly to keep it out of their faces. Both are scientists by nature, and very skinny, but with a lot of muscle. And - and this is the weird part, which made me notice the other similarities - both have releases associated with butterflies. Szayel in his released form greatly resembles Setsunai, Hideki's zanpakutou, right down to the three antennae markings curving gracefully down each cheek. Very, very weird. But the similarities kind of end there, I guess, because Hideki's personality is somewhere between Yamada Hanatarou, and beneath, a sort of pent-up Sam Vimes wit (Discworld). Also, Hideki quit science and joined the Eleventh. :damnfunny:
Sorry about the squick though. I didn't mean to gross you out. I was just surprised at how well the fic was written - how fitting everything seemed. (Everything happened in the name of science. Also in the name of Aizen dominating the crap out of the Espada). I can't get it out of my head.

Actually, I must just be in the mood for ficcing, because I've been reading a great Ishida/Kon one. Sid, are you interested in a link? :)
