[quote="zitagirl"][quote="Edward Falcon"]Totally Spies. I have known about it for years, but it was only last year I decided to start watching it, and it really grows on you the more you watch it.[/quote] I used to watch that when I was a kid. I'm not exactly sure if it did any good to me though :lol:[/quote]

Reread some chapters and ended up reading a manga-exclusive part where Ichigo gets his true Zanpaktou. Let me just say... it's brilliant. <br /> <br />A quick summary to what happened before this, so you can get why these 2 chapters hits hard: Quincies started to attack Soul Society Ywach as their leader, heavily damaging the shinigmais, including Ichigo as they break his bankai (if a bankai breaks, it remains broken and weakened forever unless 0. squad's zanpaktou creator forges you a new one) and since he was not fitting to understand the asauchis (long story, but basically they are the basis for zanpaktous: artificial souls that become a part of the shinigami's soul that represents the wielder's power and personality. Ichigo did not have an asauchi, since his zanpaktou was never created in Soul Society but rather as he awakened his powers under the training of Urahara. It's bit weird, although him having both hollow and quincy powers do explain this extraordinary case) so he was sent back to the Living World where his father told him who and what happened to his mother. <br /> <br />Long story short, his mother was a pure-blood quincy who got attacked by a white hollow created by previous big bad guy, Aizen and in order to stop the effects of the hollow, the father had to connect his soul to hers (father was a Captain level shinigami) to keep the hollow inside of her at bay. But because the hollow still being there, Ichigo inherited it when he was born (because eventually the 2 fell in love with each other), along with both powers from the parents (nice hybrid we have here). <br /> <br />His mother died though as Ywach awakened and took all non pure-blooded quincies' powers to strengthen himself and due to the hollow attack, she became inpure as well (hollow is like poison to them actually) and when the hollow Grand Fisher attacked her and young Ichigo, she died while protecting him (Ichigo actually blamed himself for her death till he found out the truth and this is the real reason he wants to become strong: so he can protect people and never have him or anyone experience this again). <br /> <br />After this, he goes back to the Soul King Palace via some help (0. squad are basically guards of the Soul King and lot more powerful than ordinary captains) and starts to work on his Zanpaktou, but before that it turns out who he thought to be Zangetsu (that's how his Zanpaktou is called which means Moonslayer and bankai is called Tensa Zangetsu which translates to Chained Moonslayer) is actually a fraction of Ywach who represents his quincy powers and all this time he tried to suppress hollow/shinigami powers in order to keep Ichigo from danger). <br /> <br />Rest is told in the 2 chapters, but damn it's just so well done. Not only we get to understand "Zangetsu" even better than before, the way Kubo represents Ichigo's emotions and thoughts (they are in his inner world where the buildings represent his hope and faith and cloudless sky shows him being fine emotionally. When it rains and slowly turns the world into an endless ocean it shows Ichigo being in true despair and hopelessness as the buildings crumble (it was raining when his mother died as well, so you get the connection)) it's just touching. Just looking at Ichigo's face in chapter 541 makes my heart aching and want to hug him. <br /> <br />And chapter 542's ending... just brilliant. Despite all the emotions dwelling him from all the stuff he learnt within hours, Ichigo is not angry or mad, he's only sad and slowly accepts reality and finds out that all this time both the inner hollow and "Zangetsu" were all along not only his power, but himself as well and thanks them for everything while claiming from now on he will fight on his own (accepting them as being him basically). <br /> <br />You can watch the chapters themselves here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXpu2nRqxOs" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXpu2nRqxOs</a> (sorry about the long explanations, just rather gave some info to show why I find this so good). <br /> <br />I know both Bleach and Kubo got tons of criticism over the years and can understand why. Neither are flawless and rushing the ending of the manga didn't do much good either, but moments like these reminds me why I got into it and still love Bleach and even look up to Kubo. <br /> <br />I just hope we will get the last arc in anime (and potentially fixing some stuff such as the rushed ending) because I so want to see moments like these adapted to animation, with all the music and voice actors giving in their heart and soul.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Princess of Agrabah</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2019 1:30 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Smallville is probably my favorite TV show ever.

Supergirl is the only one of the lot that I'm currently up to date on, and is probably my favorite right next to The Flash. Legends of Tomorrow is pretty fun too! It's a ton to keep up with. I haven't seen any of the Marvel ones except Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, but I've heard good things! <br /> <br />Burden of Truth is a Canadian legal drama about this big city lawyer coming back to her small town to help out with a case that involves an environmental crisis sickening these school children. It's really good, I highly recommend it! Anne with an E is on Netflix and it's also Canadian--it's based on the Anne of Green Gables books, which I haven't read, but so far it's very good. The Good Wife is another legal drama--I'm still in Season 1 because I've seen bits and pieces of it over the years and wanted to watch it from the beginning, but I'm enjoying it so far. It's about this politician's wife who returns to practicing law after her husband has an affair and loses his job. <br /> <br />Thank you!</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Meesh</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2019 11:01 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>zitagirl wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">If we can add anime here as well, I would like to mention Magi, Madoka Magica and Seven Deadly Sins (manga).

They are kinda cheesy, but are also good fun when you want something kind of low stakes and light to watch. Merlin, in my opinion gets better from season 1, but then declined after series 3 because the show runners didn't build up to anything in the end that made watching five seasons of it worth it. It ended up being a "spot the Arthurian legend reference" game instead of watching how any of those characters become the literary icons we know them as today. Robin Hood has three seasons but I only acknowledge the first two <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Preacher and Misfits are both really cool (and very dark/black humor) takes on the comic book/super hero mythologies, which I have no interest in but those managed to catch my eye. Preacher I believe is based off a DC comic, and Misfits is about a storm that gave everyone super powers based off their personalities but you follow the series through five people doing community service. It launched the career of Robert Sheenan who stars in the Umbrella Academy (another show I've been told about but might watch some day). <br /> <br />If I had to recommend anything from that list, though, it would be Killing Eve. It was the most critically acclaimed show of 2018 and is one of the most solid pieces of television I've watched in a long time. <br /> <br />How To Get Away With Murder and Elementary are in the same boat if you want to watch lots of episodes about murders and criminal cases and how they're solved each week, but then also deal with a larger plot in-between for each season. So there's ups and downs like any series with 50+ episodes would have. <br /> <br />Luther is very similar to Sherlock, but way darker, more serious, and became infinitely more frustrating as the series went on because Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson's dynamic took over the show in a way they weren't anticipating (in a good way). So of course the writers had to ruin it and break it so they can go back to talking about what they wanted to talk about, which prompted very odd narrative choices that frustrated audiences, only for them to go back to their dynamic again anyway but it wasn't the same and omg I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> But it starts off as a solid show for the first three seasons and the acting is always great so idk what to tell you. <br /> <br />Sense8 is the sorest spot on this list cause I'm still mad netflix canceled it, but it's amazing and I recommend it but it's not G-rated in the least so proceed with caution <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> People were so mad it was canceled they brought it back in a special to close off the series, though, so it won't leave you hanging. <br /> <br />My Mad Fat Diary is also a really good show that I believe is based off a book, but some of the subject matter can be pretty heavy as shows about teens can be. But it'll make you laugh and break your heart at the same time.</td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />So I'm gathering that I should check out Killing Eve and Sense8, and the others are at least worth looking into?

So of course the writers had to ruin it and break it so they can go back to talking about what they wanted to talk about, which prompted very odd narrative choices that frustrated audiences, only for them to go back to their dynamic again anyway but it wasn't the same and omg I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> But it starts off as a solid show for the first three seasons and the acting is always great so idk what to tell you. <br /> <br />Sense8 is the sorest spot on this list cause I'm still mad netflix canceled it, but it's amazing and I recommend it but it's not G-rated in the least so proceed with caution <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> People were so mad it was canceled they brought it back in a special to close off the series, though, so it won't leave you hanging. <br /> <br />My Mad Fat Diary is also a really good show that I believe is based off a book, but some of the subject matter can be pretty heavy as shows about teens can be. But it'll make you laugh and break your heart at the same time.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>zitagirl</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Jun 09, 2019 9:47 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I also like several seasons of Power Rangers, although I need to catch up to current season.
