5 and 6?

5. worst ending of an anime you’ve watched

Oh heck I don’t know?

I’d say I have pretty :/ feelings about the Bleach ending, but not really because of the end game pairings, which fans tend to aim towards most, but the events leading up to it (the TYBW arc devolves into a trainwreck not gonna lie). The biggest points for me are:

Obvious character bias: fan favorites such as Byakuya and Toshiro more screen time than they really need, while underdeveloped characters like Unohana and Ukitake are just. Killed off.

The unstable pacing: the fact that the last few chapters were rushed Did Not Help, and resulted in many unanswered questions. Although many of them would be answered in the CFYOW novels, it just doesn’t feel that... satisfying.

Soul Society never changes: The beginning of the SS arc establishes that Soul Society is actually incredibly flawed; there is a huge class gap, with most of the Rukongai being poverty stricken because of the government huge bias for the nobles, to the point people will sacrifice themselves by becoming just so they can afford necessities. They are then manipulated into believing that Soul Society is actually a pleasant utopia to prevent uprisings. Anyways, after the SS arc it’s never addressed again, and Soul Society is never viewed in a negative light afterwards. The end of the series gave an opportunity to depict some drastic changes to Soul Society, but instead there are just new captains. Everything is the same again.

I actually have a lot more to say about it but I’ll probably save it for another time since I already wrote a lot asdkjalkd

6. favorite opening sequence

The 6th opening of Bleach, “Alones” by Aqua Timez, the song’s A Bop, and I get a lot of nostalgia listening to it since this season was airing on toonami when I first got into bleach about a decade ago.

Anime Asks!
