We're back with our in-depth spoiler discussion for TYBW episode 2, featuring some awesome new scenes (and some sadly cut content).
In the video, I also talk about the discussion to move to 2 anime videos a week from 3, which hopefully makes sense to everyone.
Enjoy the video!

Episode 2 is here and I've got really high hopes for this one! I'm expecting them to really begin getting into the meat of the story here...
Join me for my live reaction, and then I'll be back later this week with the spoiler-free review, and the spoiler talk discussion!
Enjoy!

We're nearing the end of our Gotei 13 series as we enter the double digit divisions!
The 10th Division is extremely popular, with its child prodigy Captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and they feature a lot in the story itself.
Let's take a look at this fan-favourite company!
With the dust settling on the first episode of TYBW, it's time to take a deeper look into spoiler territory.
How'd this episode stack up to the source material? What did they change? And crucially, did it work?
Also, I make a few predictions for how the structure of episode 2 might play out! Enjoy!

Here we go, the first ever TYBW anime episode review!
This video is suitable for anime-only viewers in that there are NO spoilers for the manga - but we are looking at the episode in full.
In it I discuss everything I loved about the episode, plus a couple of gripes and concerns I potentially have, as well as give it a final score.
Enjoy!

WE MADE IT!
The first episode of the TYBW anime is finally here, and of course to mark the occasion, I had to do a live reaction! This was a lot of fun to make and naturally, the episode was crazy.
Stay tuned for more coverage over the coming days as well! Let me know what you thought of the episode too. Thanks!

Well, it's (supposedly) the eve of the anime's release, though as a fan in the UK, it doesn't really feel like it to be honest!
But I wanted to react to, and discuss, the three individual short trailers released for TYBW - there's one for the Karakura gang, one for the Wandenreich, and one for the Gotei 13!
So let's take a look and see what new scenes and info we can glean before the anime arrives - enjoy.

Hey everyone!
I apologise for being silent for the last week, but it was for a good cause! I've been slaving over this video and I'm so happy to finally have it done and out.
Catch up on Bleach in time for the TYBW anime next week with a full recap of the story from chapter 1, to chapter 479, carefully curated by yours truly to include the most important plot beats.
Enjoy!

Today's video is focused on Kisuke Urahara and his part to play in the final arc of Bleach!
Finally, Kisuke really steps up to the plate and plays a consistent role throughout the entire arc, really highlighting the gravity of the stakes here. Also, annoyingly, I was trying to scout a good image of him from TYBW to use as a thumbnail but...well there just aren't any really, despite him having this larger role.
Alas, it is what it is - I hope you enjoy the video!

Hey everyone!
First of all, I apologise for this video coming out at the same time as it will on the channel - time really got away from me on this one somehow. But I hope you enjoy it - someone posted that I should create an introductory video of sorts on The Quincy, and it sounded like a good idea - so here it is!
Let me know what you think of The Quincy as a race in Bleach - this video is non-spoiler for TYBW too!

Our Bankai theorycrafting series returns! What better place to continue, than with Ichigo's old man himself, Isshin?
Isshin and his zanpakuto, Engetsu, aren't seen much, but that just means we'll have to speculate a little more! What do you think Isshin's Bankai could've been?
Enjoy the video!

Thanks again for 150,000 subscribers!
It's been a really long time since I ranked the captains in any capacity, and people have been asking for it for a while - so I figured this was the perfect time to do so.
What do you think of my list? Let me know yours too!

As promised, next up in our Character Analysis series is the runner-up on our last poll, Soi Fon!
This is a character I'm aware I've neglected a bit on the channel, so it feels good to finally dedicate a sizeable video to her. She's an interesting character, with a few really key relationships.
I hope you enjoy!

Gin's Bankai initially disappointed me - a lot. It was only as Kubo slowly teased the truth of Kaminishini no Yari, that I began to really appreciate it for what it was.
It's an extremely clever Bankai, but honestly, the presentation is the smartest thing about it.
As always, enjoy.

We're back with another look at a division of the Gotei 13! This time it's the ever busy 9th Division - whether they're defending the Seireitei or delivering the Seireitei Communication Magazine, they're always on their feet.
This division features popular and interesting characters like Shuhei Hisagi, Kaname Tousen, and Kensei Muguruma! While not the most important division in the story, they are a crucial foundation of the Soul Society itself.
Enjoy the video!

We've done the live reaction, now it's time for the truly fun part - dissecting the trailer piece-by-piece to see exactly what it's giving us.
There's new scenes here, new story beats, and manga material being adapted slightly differently - it's a fun time for sure!
What did you think of the trailer, and more importantly, how are you feeling about the way the anime looks so far?
2022-09-13 12:31:45 +0000 UTC View Post
Well, well, well - this is amazing.
Here's my live reaction to the brand new, and potentially final, trailer for the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc's anime, and it looks phenomenal.
Enjoy.

I've seen this debate a lot before, so I decided to wade in myself. Could Yamamoto have defeated Aizen during the Fake Karakura Town battle?
It's an interesting question for sure. Yamamoto might seem like he has the raw power to pull off a victory, but Aizen and the Hogyoku are such wild cards.
Let's dive into what I think of the match-up that nearly was, but not quite!

Well, this was unexpected - it caught me a little off-guard, so I've whipped up this very quick news update to help get everyone on the same page.
But the anime is literally around the corner now and it's time to get excited. What do you think about the choices for the OP and ED songs?
Here's hoping those of us outside Japan hear something soon...

Hello everyone! How're you doing?
A new week is upon us, and we're kicking this one off with the first of our two new series coming to the channel - Bleach: The Best Scenes. These are short videos designed to look at one specific, impactful and memorable scene from the manga.
I really want to get the community involved with these too, so let me know what scene you'd like to see discussed next - if it's picked, I'll shout out the winner too. Thanks everyone, and let me know w...

We're back with another Bleach Battle Analysis! These Schutzstaffel fights are a lot of fun to talk about but man are they long.
This one was particularly enjoyable however as many consider this to be the best of them all and for good reason - the character work and choreography are both great, and it makes fantastic use of an...unorthodox enemy, let's just say.
Enjoy the video!
Hey everyone! Thanks for the amazing reception to the last video looking at Cien Granz.
That video was intended to really be a 'part one' - and it's here, with this video on Roka, that we can wrap things up on these guys for now. Thanks so much for the support, and as always, I hope you enjoy.
Let me know your thoughts on Roka Paramia as a character, and SAFWY as a whole!

Hey all! Apologies this is coming out to you so late, but I've been rushed off my feet trying to get it finished. But it's here now!
With the arrival of Cien Granz and Roka Paramia into BBS, I thought now was the perfect opportunity to finally do a deep dive into each of them (so no prizes for guessing what the next video is either).
I hope you enjoy it! What do you think of Cien as a character?

I don't know why this didn't upload here until just now, something weird's going on with that - my apologies!
But today we're looking at the Queen of Hueco Mundo herself, the Third Espada - Tier Harribel. Truly a character with a ton of unused potential, particularly where her awesome and unique water-based powers were concerned.
I hope you enjoy!

This month, we're looking at the party-loving and hedonistic 8th Division, led by Kyoraku Shunsui! (Or is that the strict and hard-working 8th Division led by Nanao Ise? I forget...)
The latest instalment in the Gotei 13 series is here - I think we've probably given up on getting all these out by the time the anime launches...but still, we're over halfway through the Gotei!
I hope you enjoy.

Sorry I'm a bit late to this topic, but let's address the rumours, leaks, and speculation that indicate the new Bleach anime is coming to Disney+.
We'll look at both the bad, and the potential good, that can come from something as big as this.
Enjoy.

We know very little about the mysterious, deity-like being known as The Soul King. But, thanks to TYBW, we do actually get to spend a fleeting amount of time with him - and as such, we get some insight into how powerful he actually was.
Is he really the most impossibly powerful character in the Bleach universe? Is he stronger than his son, Yhwach? Let's see what we can work out!

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally time to try and rank my favourite fights from the all-out war that is TYBW.
I couldn't limit myself to 10, so we've got 13 different battles to examine here! Let me know what you think of the thumbnail too - tried something a little different, but I can't tell if it's maybe a bit much, or if it's good.
Thanks, and enjoy!

The Bleach anime is right around the corner, so it's time for an introduction!
Let's take a (mostly spoiler free) look at the Wandenreich's Sternritter - who are they? What do they want? Why do they fight for their king?
In this video, we'll at least try to go over those questions and more - enjoy!

It's time to fulfil our monthly Aizen video quota!
All jokes aside, this is something I've been meaning to talk about for a while now. Aizen had a totally unique battle within the series, in that he was evolving in real-time effectively throughout.
Let's take a look at that process and the evolutions he undergoes!
