Bleach latest anime and manga episode discuss

1 year 8 months ago

"You know what I'm curious about?

Btw, ep 165+ spoilers below

SPOILER (click to view)

I wonder how Ichigo and the other Captains are going to get out. Because Aizen said he closed off all the tunnels into the real world. But Kenpachi said something about them getting Urahara to open a few more hidden tunnels. So I'm not sure how that works.

But also, on another note, to me, it seems like Ulquiorra is really, really strong. But since he's only 4, I wonder how they're gonna handle the rest. I mean, Ichigo could barely lay a finger on Ulquiorra.

SPOILER (click to view)

I'm guessing Halibel, Stark, etc are numbers 3, 2, 1, but I'm just not quite sure which order.

But I hope Gin and Tousen play a bit more of a role soon. This is getting super boring for them. I WANNA SEE SOME GIN X MATSUMOTO!!

Will Rukia and Ichigo get married ?

1 year 8 months ago

"Well. This is a shounen-type anime, so I doubt any major romance occurances are going to happen at all. I mean, there's obvious hints (made by Kubo Tite) about certain pairs, such as Ichigo x Rukia, Yoruichi x Urahara, Yoruichi x Soi Fong (blatantly obvious), etc. But judging from the past behaviours, I doubt that anything like marriage is going to occur.

I think the best way to end it is by having Rukia return to Soul Society and Ichigo staying in the human world as a substitute shinigami.

But anyway, why am I talking about it ending? Not sure, myself. "

What will happen next after Ichigo kills Aizen?

1 year 8 months ago

"I doubt Ichigo will die. Seeing as how Bleach doesn't deviate from generic endings (but is great on many other levels).

Humm. After Aizen dies, I would think that another enemy comes in to play. I was hoping that the whole Soul Society thing would be expanded on more, like how it works, what happens to people when they die in Soul Society. I HIGHLY doubt the series will end after Aizen dies. I'm guessing it will probably follow in the footsteps of Naruto and One Piece (and many others), continuing onto 300+ episodes (not that I would mind). "

Hating Orihime?

1 year 8 months ago

"I don't really find her annoying, but she's not exactly interesting. She's the generic female character I suppose.

Well the problem is, Orihime would've gone to Aizen regardless of whether she wanted to or not. Let's be honest here, Ulquiorra could've forced her to come. In both cases, the end result is the same; Ichigo and his friends come to rescue her.
But in the end, Orihime is THE plot device for the arc. (If you've read the manga, you know what I'm talking about). Without Orihime going, this arc would not have worked.

SPOILER (click to view)

Hum. I have to say that I thought Orihime would play a bigger role in Aizen's plans, but apparently not.

Kakashi wall

"So, it's been a while since i've taken a shot at a wall.
Note, the kakashi in this wall was drawn by someone else, i'll link her/him when i'm done.
Here's my predicament, I've got kakashi half nekkid. But he doesn't fit in with the background. <_<; at all. to me, it looks like i kinda slapped it on (which is partially true ahaha). so, i need some ideas and gimme some good techniques =)
kakashi was originally line art (black/white), so i vectored the base colours (you can tell), and did some brushing/smudging (not done yet).

p.s. sorry about the bad quality, still in progreess of shading/smudging kakashi's clothing so i just took a screen cap.

btw, the artist that drew this is just amazing. i'll dig out the link sometime to share with everyone.

Final Fantasy wall

2 years 3 months ago

"You have to understand that there's a big difference between wallpapers and signatures, in addition to the size. One thing you can't get away with for wallpapers is just doing a bunch of filters.

Currently, to me it just seems like something you whipped up in an hour. I would suggest taking the time to consider the background and how Cloud would fit in it, fixing the extraction (and the graininess of the wall) and try to find a good composition for this wall.

yet another Death Note wall

2 years 3 months ago

"A few things, not sure what the green thing that is detached from Light is. To me, I can't find any significant relevance to this, so I'd recommend removing it.

Extraction is a bit messy in a few areas, try doing a feather so Light blends into the background. I see pieces of white in Light's hair and various other places.

I would also suggest removing the words, they seem to detract from the wall. I would suggest the words go in the upper right as your wall is a bit empty right now. Either that or not have words at all.

Lower the brightness and saturation on Light a bit, he's too green and bright (uncomfortable on the eyes).

How does it look?

"Oh, sorry, perhaps the way I conveyed my words were misleading. I meant, the quality of the background (it's grainy and stretched) doesn't fit with the quality of the scan (the scan is smooth and clean). While, I think it is a good idea, I think you should either vector (or some how clean up the background to make it seem "higher quality") or find a different scan, maybe with a similar type of background.

I would also suggest vectoring the words, GunslingerGirl. "

Bleach Wallpaper

"Wow this is amazingly awesome! I would actually suggest without the spray can, since it kinda feels like a distractor from ichigo. Either that or try different placements of the spray can.

All in all, amazing work!
I'll definitely be looking forward to this wall, whichever one you pick. "

Haruhi wallpaper (first try!)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

"My two cents, I thought the book ended well. Many authors do not end books well (The Giver is one) and leave the reader hanging. But I think that JK Rowling has gave us a good conclusive ending. I still hope that there will be more books, considering the monetary benefits to the company (and herself), maybe that will be a persuasive factor in writing an 8th book?
I was...

SPOILER (click to view)

I too was upset at the death of Lupin and Tonks.

But I laughed...

SPOILER (click to view)

I laughed when Severus died. What a fitting end for that guy. Genius ending actually.

Anyway, there were tidbits of romance in there and I felt the romance was "rushed". I know that this isn't intended to be romance but you know, if you're going to include it, give it a little more depth. I felt the whole Ron and Hermione thing was just somewhat...fake.

But anyway, that's my two cents. All in all, really enjoyed the book but I hope there's more. "

"Huh? I don't see the wallpaper. =/ Either that or it's my browser messing up again.

Edit: nvm. I see the link now.

Is the background from a screen cap? I would suggest finding a scan as a background (the character and the background aren't "fitting" in). =/

"All in all, nice background brushing. I love the text and I think it's pretty much ready to go. Only thing is, maybe a bigger resolution. =/ Also, try what it looks like without the grids. I find it a detracting from Ed/Al. One last thing,I'd try lowering the brightness of the wall to make a little easier on the eyes."

A Suikoden V Wallpaper

"I like the simplicity of this wall, very effective. However, I do feel there needs a little more than just a black background, perhaps brushing the background a bit.
I'd also suggest softening the edges a bit (using feather). Since there's such a contrast, it might make it a smooth transit.
But other than that, it's a good wall. "

My wallpapers... Hope u LiKe it

2 years 4 months ago

"Hi there. I agree with above poster. Put your efforts into one wall at a time.

Death note wall
I like the idea of Light and L facing each other, it's somewhat symbolic.
But I felt the text and grid lines were too intrusive into the wall. And as said above, the picture looks blurry. I'd like to add perhaps lower the saturation of the picture as it is slightly too bright (for my me at least).
But anyway, it's a good start and keep working at it. I'd also suggest a higher resolution. =/

Jigoku Shoujo wall
I like the concept of abstract and black/white here. However, I feel it's too cluttered (I don't feel Ai is the "main attraction").

Anyway, hoped that helped."

Ergo Proxy Wall

"Hum yeah. I've attempted to make a new wallpaper. It features Vincent Law, who looks really bishie and cool if he didn't tie his hair up. Yeah, so for those who watch Ergo Proxy (Paragon + Nanashi ftw!1!!1!one!!1eleven11!1), in the opening, you see Vincent being all crazy and wheeoo. So, I decided to vector him in one of those scenes. Then, I tried to have uh..that grunge-thingy border (mine doesn't look too great. I'm hoping someone can help me with this.) Then, I vectored a crow. I stuck it so close to the bottom so that it would look like the crow was perched on your taskbar. XDDD Aren't I a genius!? buwhaha. Okies, uhm. Right. I added the clouds, I made the whole theme of the wallpaper yellow. Because it's what it's like in the opening. Comments, crits, flames are all appreciated all towards the goal of making my wallpaper better. :< So, please help me. xDD

Also, I need a good font for the title. I also know I didn't add my signature. <_<; Oh well. I'll do that later.

"If you want to use a screenshot for your wall, make sure you download the 720p. Anything above it is upsized. So, that's what you should get. You should be able to vector from there.

But, all I suggest is just improving the quality of Lil/Ril/Real. I would also, add more of those grunge type pictures you see in the opening to the left side of lil's face."

"The quality of the pictures of the characters are REALLY BAD.

1. Vector it

You need more of a background. It's just a radial blur, with shades of gray and some buildings (?) in the back. "

It's New! it's Cleaned! Waooow what do you think?

"The text needs to be higher, so that it has some space between the taskbar. Most of the time, people put their signatures at the bottom, so the taskbar hides it. Also, I don't see Lil anywhere. You could try vectoring the actual words, "Ergo Proxy" but leaving the effects like that. Keep working at it, it looks pretty good right now."
