One of my favorite episodes from Evangelion! My jaw dropped the first time I saw unit 01 crawling on all fours like an animal. Even though it is teased before, this was the moment it’s confirmed the EVAs are not just some robots. Not just my favorite anime, but one of my favorite shows of all time!

Todd Williams

thats in the west. in the east white doesnt stand for good. it stands for rebirth and by extension death as you cant have rebirth without first dying

rickie woodson

Could you guys please react to OP 3 for Bleach? The only spoiler in that whole OP had to do with the reveal of Captain Kuchiki's Bankai, but now that Ichicgo's battle with Byakuya is over, you've already seen the full extent of his bankai. And Suraj and Rana accidentally saw it in a #SundayRunDown from a few weeks back. I think the fan who told you to wait until episode 61 to watch was severely mistaken, which seems to be the case with many fans who watched the show years ago and misremembered details about the show.

Gangster Gastino

They've literally been saying this for the past 3 weeks dude. This isn't the first time they've brought this up.

Gangster Gastino

What are you on about the Netflix dub has been complete ass. Especially Shinji and Asuka VA's. I honestly hope they switch it up if they do the Rebuild movies.

Gangster Gastino

Yeah if they think Soul Society is dragging at points then upcoming parts are going to be rough. All things considered I don't think the pacing in this arc is bad at all for a long running early 2000s shounen. There are cuts to what other characters are doing but for the most part it is important stuff. The issue here is that they have made it clear that they don't care about just about anything that doesn't involve Ichigo. But anime has changed over time and tastes have changed so I get it. These days people are more used to shows that really just get to the action and that isn't a bad thing at all.

Tyler

Didn't even know there was a gameshark for the DS XD

Benjamin Donahue

It's probably more difficult to get into this series as an adult and a lot of the enjoyment of this anime is nostalgia based. I've tried to get into this anime several times in recent years and every time I would get to random points early on leaving me with thoughts like "why do I or should I care about the Bleach universe?".

Chaos T

If some of y'all aren't enjoying this anime at what is probably the second best arc of the anime so far then you might want to just drop it now. I've never seen anyone so confused at this anime and it seems to be because [some of] y'all just don't care. Chris acts like everything that happens in the show is pointless even though he's been confused since the beginning of the arc and y'all do the Sunday Rundown and apparently don't share any of the information that we give y'all with everyone else on the couch for Bleach because y'all still be lost lol

A. P.

Does anyone know if they plan on watching the Bleach movies too? If so, Memories of Nobody can be watched after episode 63

Quelz

The name has been explained to them on multiple occasions

Douglas Kelley

Chris and Mickey and maybe the rest aren’t gonna enjoy Bleach. There really isn’t a lot of depth to the plot and characters and world Most of the notes they’re taking won’t be relevant either. Should have watched One Piece

space colon

Other than Fullbring Arc and TYBW, this is the best pacing bleach will have, I feel sorry for you guys now lmao, y'all are close to being in the trenches

accelangel

nah even in the uncut versions it feels like they are hate watching 😂 😂 but hey to each their own

Olope

Byakuya vs Ichigo is goated. So much nostalgia. Byakuya bankai reminds me of Gaara the way he moves his blades like Gaara does his sand. This fight gives me Rock Lee vs Gaara vibes because of Ichigo's speed, plus Naruto and Bleach are animated from the same company, Studio Pierrot. Now you guys are seeing more and more inspiration from JJK. Evil Itadori inside Itadori just like Evil Ichigo (White/Hollow Ichigo). Next episodes are gonna be insane. One of my favorite moments.@Mickey the ost is called Never Meant To Belong

Kayso

MICKY CAUGHT ON! The irony of villains being white and heroes being black is a big thing in "BLEACH". Also, in Japan, white is generally the color of all things spiritual, and specifically in Buddhism, of things related to death. - By the way, if you haven't gotten there yet, episode 64 is mixed canon/filler. Starts out canon, and transitions into the filler arc. Interestingly, the after-credits segment is also canon. It introduces a small detail that's not very important, but knowing you guys, you'll probably notice it and be confused if you don't watch it. 😝 If you let the credits roll, you can listen to the preview without watching it (the character banter doesn't spoil) then look back as Kon introduces the segment.

Nabeshin

The link for episode 59 is not working again

Mige Delonge

Man Byakuya really is such an interesting character. Also about the black and white thing, hopefully somebody else here can point out things I am getting wrong or misinterpreting but I believe in Japan the color white is meant to symbolize death. What I so know though is that Tite Kuba personally has a tendency to assign the color white to his antagonists. We see this with Byakuya's powers being a light pink before becoming pure white as he charges his final blow and the bone white masks of the hollows. This is contrasted with Ichigo's pitch black power and reiatsu at his peak and his Bankai even giving him a pitch black cloak to contrast the white haori the captains wear. Even if you look at his non Bleach works he follows this color theory which I won't put examples so there are no spoilers.

Annah Suarez-Domit

Yup honestly if you watch a shounen and you worried about seeing something then that's just weird because if you watch an action anime and you know some characters are eventually going to fight then why be shocked it's in a opening even though it was bound to happen. I've never skipped an opening to an anime and have never thought it ruined my experience.

Kage Uzumaki

So do they know who the main antagonist is for Bleach already by this episode? At the end of the ep. When Toshiro ran into Central 46 Surge yelled out "Aizen". That's like one of the most Iconic twists in Anime history.

Bastion33

Gangster Gastino

Have they reacted to the third Bleach opening yet?

Dspade

Now that you've come this far a key thing to help understand about Bankai is think about it as not always simply just a power up but a major expansion in scale of the zanpakuto's concept. For example Senbonzakura at Shikai breaks the blade into 1000 small metal blades that are freely controlled, at Bankai it becomes countless blades that each break into thousands of blade each allowing for way more versatility in fighting. It can obviously deal more damage at that scale but not specifically because the blades were stronger. Byakuya talks shit on Ichigo's Bankai because they are typically enormous in comparrison to a plain katana (like Renji's big snake, Kaname's sensory deprivation chamber, or Sajin's armored giant.), which is also why they specified it typically takes 10 years of training after attaining Bankai, to generally get used to fighting with one.

Benjamin Donahue

Yeah, that's gonna be rough. I haven't watched it in a long time but I have no doubt it's gonna hit just as hard

Sean Mumford

are you new to shounen anime?

Edgar

Another fight ichigo has no business winning but plot armor strikes again. The mc that plot helps the most is ichigo it’s crazy. My two favorite captains and there’s no way they should have lost.

Sonicluis

Funny thing about the game shark joke y'all made is I actually used a game shark back in the day to unlock every character in a bleach game for the ds

CodePhoenix13

Jesus christ... the Patreon community is even more degenerate than the Discord community.

MarkyO

I'm trying to be Mr. Kaji watering plants while the mech robots fight for humanity around me. That's a certain level of peace right there lol

MojoJojoGojo

Ichigo is a whole human so in some ways it does make sense that her giving him power results in these consequences, interfering and completely changing his life. Also guys, the show was originally gonna be called Snipe because Kubo wanted guns, then he was gonna change it to Black for the Soul Reaper outfits but it was too simple, then he chose Bleach because it makes you think of the color White in contrast to the Soul Reaper outfits.

BlakStatik23

Okay to be fair, I don’t think they have an hourly schedule where they promise to deliver by a certain time of the day. Yeah we are getting more mistakes per usual but a lot of creators on Patreon are even more erratic about their release times than they are. It was fixed within 2-3 hours. Some constructive criticism is always helpful but most of the comments seem to be exaggerating too much. The quality of their content is already so much to be thankful for relative to most of this space. Easily enough to overlook hiccups every now and then

peetskeet

They really thought one bar Byakuya would fall 😅

Kollie123

Fixed now, think I had to refresh the page 😅

MrTinyTeddy

The cut reaction link is still the same for me unfortunately.

MrTinyTeddy

The links should now be fixed!

Pavi

You literally have till the END of the goddamn day and oh, look, the link is already fixed!

Brakthir

You're more than fine good Sir'. Don't let the comments get to you. Thanks!

Sir Albertson

ugggh normies suck we are paying for premium - this is not what is expected :(

akiro somp

link has been updated my b for being an amateur!!

The Normies

Thanks for the 2 cents. The normies can buy 1/344 of a coke can with that donation.

Sir Albertson

I couldn't be more excited for the End of Eva!

Stephen husuc

same its 58 both

abc

Just my 2 cents: The missing/wrong links don't bother me particularly, but comes off as amateurish and screams of half-assing it. They aren't working on a fixed timetable, they can take their time to double check before posting. Once or twice it's understandable, but it happens recurrently, which is why some people seemed to be overly triggered by it.

João André

Are you sure?

Sir Albertson

Reaction link for episode 59 is the same as for episode 58

Illia

LMAO

MackXi

Can I speak to your manager sir. I don't like your tone.

Sir Albertson

Guys they're aware of it and are working on fixing the links. Its already been stated in the comments.

Brakthir

Yeah :(, was looking forward to it but I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer. What a sad life :(

Sir Albertson

This is no bueno for bleach 59. Can someone please contact HR. Or is there a managers number?

Sir Albertson

So the 2nd link is just the same episode

William Potter

why amazed? this is peak Bleach and its still full of insane levels of padding, boring sidecharacters and sideplots and a ton of exposition. Of course they're going to forget shit, especially when all they want is to go back to the hype battles that keep getting interrupted by dumb shit

Brakthir

The manga version of the bankai scene was a special chapter of bleach I think the panels had orange borders and it was in color if I remember correctly. Every single panel was beautiful I highly recommend checking it out it’s honestly more hype in the manga. Also yes that comedic scene wasn’t in the manga there wasn’t any comedy inbetween the ichigo vs byakuya fight. I’m honestly amazed you guys asked where Toshiro and rangiku were going when they literally said it. The ending of ichigo and Byakuya was built up since ichigo heard about mod souls being destroyed. Ichigo saw that as in humane but rukia reaction to it was more about a law the soul society made. Ichigo saw this blind following as odd you see more of this the more you learn about soul society. You see captains and some lieutenant even find it odd this execution is even happening. the point of Ichigo continuing to fight byakuya and not killing him when he had a sword to his throat was to prove a point to byakuya that these laws and traditions of soul society shouldn’t be the end all be all. If ichigo didn’t show up despite the some people not thinking Rukia’s execution was necessary they still would have allowed it. The anime left out showing the Kaien who Rukia killed as Byakuya looked at ichigo he saw them as similar. In the manga what makes Byakuya understand ichigo is the similarities they had in personality. Not a spoiler they just cut it. Also the point of what Byakuya was saying about his bankai is that his sword is condensed with speed and power. Carrying a smaller sword doesn’t just make you faster he does the same thing in senkei condensing his power.

Karma

You make it sound like they are two different groups lol

Askaron

Bleach fans competing with Naruto fans as to who are the most unbearable, entitled condescending people ever lmao

Brakthir

Which version are you guys going to use when you watch the Evangelion Rebuilds? I just checked out the English dub on prime and it doesn’t sound super great to me. I don’t think they have the same voice actors from the Netflix version. Maybe you should switch to the sub for Rebuilds since it’s like the series is starting over anyway.

Green Ranger

It's fixed the same day dude. Chill out. You are still getting the same product you're paying for, the same exact day. You can always watch it over on YouTube for free. You don't have to pay.

AttackRunRepeat

Getting mad over YouTube videos is weird but getting mad over Patreon links constantly not working is justified. This is a paid service, it’s not free content like YouTube. They charge us every month regardless of their product not being delivered as intended quite often. Ya say we complaining over videos… well no duh we paying for it lol

Gremmy

Agreed I’ve done the same multiple times

Shafiq

im here for the comments

Kage Uzumaki

🍿🍿🍿

UnluckyN

Ah the comments are never a disappointment, I'm also bummed about the bleach thing but I just never care enough to complain about it, so I get where people are coming from this has definitely become a bit of a trend with the normies. I'm subscribed to several Patreons so it's definitely noticable in comparison to some of their peers. Idk to me it's never that big a deal, but for those who are continually disappointed might I recommend unsubscribing for a while and just coming back later, I do this all the time with the normies where I'll unsub for like 2-4months when a particular show is in a lull then resub when it's at a better pace. Works for me

Antonio Bacon

They are aware of the issue with the links and are working on getting it fixed. Just remember sometimes the hyperlink cannot be changed but the reaction link text will be adjusted, so just copy/paste instead of clicking on the link in that case and it should work.

Pavi

I am dreading End of Eva

Renan

Your life must be SO devoid of substance bro. It's literally just a fixable duplicate link, not a personal offense to you.

iJashin

Missing as always with them

rudolph

Where is episode 59?

Mige Delonge

Since when were you under the impression that the Normies wanted to give you both Bleach links today?

Faction Paradox
