Weekend Watch: My Thoughts On Vinland Saga (Part One)
(Spoilers ahead, by the way…) In what is both an attempt to not completely lose my mind with my intended yearlong Bleach recap (love the series, but it is hard work), and an attempt not to completely typecast myself with the aforementioned project, I’ve decided, for starters, to make some additional posts over the weekend,ContinueContinue reading “Weekend Watch: My Thoughts On Vinland Saga (Part One)”

‘Such bothersome things’Rukia Kuchiki To anyone that’s really been paying attention, the central (yet underlying) conflict of the story of Bleach so far hasn’t been Ichigo’s unexpected transformation or the tragic past that spurred it, nor the ‘Hollow of the Week’ format the show has been following somewhat up to this point. What it hasContinueContinue reading “Rukia on the Run: The Bleach Blog – Day 16, Episode 16”
