Bleach 3rd Movie - Fade to Black - Kimi no Na o Yobu

I push the rock aside, ahhhh I've not seen the sun for so long now! (pun) I didn't know BLEACH 3rd movie is out! And its a year ago! Crap. The story looks good, well having everyone losing all memories of Ichigo means Ichigo gets to fight everyone - all the captains again! Hoo hoo! It is another great anime plagued with fillers. Yes fillers are a disease. They spread within the most popular/epic shows. The production studios all too often fell prey, to this simple (and wrong) way of prolonging an anime, while slowing its tempo for the manga. It is the stupidest idea ever. PPL should take a leaf from Gundam 00. I don't know the real reasons of it spliting into 2 seasons, but the spliting is very nicely executed. First, it keeps the fans anticipating, it could generate more buzz. I would rather wait than to have crappy storylines and fights. That said, Shippuden is getting everyone fired up! It has taken a novel approach of 'inserting little fillers' by slightly altering the storyline. (wahaha Jiraiya arc!) What we get, manga fans don't get too bored, now with a little twist from the original storyline. It has pros and cons, as with everything. It may be shunned by the 'purists'. But overall, its a good step in the right direction. NOT ENTIRE FILLER SEASONS! ( But in fact, I get turned off with just ONE episode of filler! ) We are at the famed fight of the show! Jiraiya vs PAIN! SENNIN MOD-DO! WOOOHOOO! Shippuden Anime made lots of minor changes to the fights. A bit prolonged, but still acceptable. Who knows, they might even scrapped away Jiraiya's death!(OK, thats a bit impossible..) Watch Naruto Shippuden at crunchyroll !
