Bleach news: Fillers ahoy

[Funkatron]

Found this link, which a translation of a Japanese Mag scan:

For those who don't want to be spoiled by the pic, here is the translation:'

Spoiler:

'
Shinigami in high school! Yes, the arc that follows from the SS arc will be animated. BUT! Not so soon. First, the anime series will go into original scenarios, as already mentioned plenty of times on this comm. After the manga has progressed enough, the series will go back to following the story. The original scenarios will take place in the human world, not Soul Society. But, will shinigami still appear? Wait and see!

(Yes, that means that the above image is purely fan service for this article.)



Upcoming anime schedule:
12/20 ep62
12/27 break
01/03 break
01/10 one-hour special (ep 63-64) * end of SS arc
01/17 original scenario begins

Lastly, the Bleach movie is confirmed for release in December 2006. Still no further details for now

[ichigo fans]

so fast change to orginial world =(

[Desti-Fate]

Hmm, bad news all round. A year until the movie and an arc coming which will not be worse than the manga arc, but will be followed by it as well.

Might feature Momo though so I'll be watching with sleepless eyes.

Maybe will have 24 episodes of Don Kanonji Filler

I have faith in the filler season. In my opinion the comedy and the characters from Bleach is the main reason to follow it. The fights are usally pretty crappy compared to other shonen-fighting animes.
A filler season could give the characters that's been neglected during the SS arc more screentime.

[Souzouryoku]

Mmmm..I agree. Besides, I enjoyed the first couple eps. of Bleach. Maybe the fillers won't be so bad. You never know. The reason the Naruto fillers are so crappy is

1) The animators make the episodes so pathetically "sad" that its stupid
2) The animators replay the idea of "being lonely oh boo hoo my life woe is me" over and over again

Bleach has always been a funny show...as long as they keep it light I'll be fine. But..just not Don Kanonji light -.-

[Midnyt]

So far Bleach has only had one filler episode, and I felt that was done quite well. A filler season is the best way to go right now, just so much as they dont hire Naruto's Filler writers ^_^

[CorpMazral3]

haha..I'm not super worried..just a little bit. I don't think people are so open to the idea of having fillers...which is what worries me. imma give them a chance tho..if they don't improve within a few episodes, i'll just stop watching for a while and only continue with the manga.

[JOJOS'STAR]

Hmm I have no reason to think Bleach's fillers could be better then Naruto's..

Anyway, I don't see what so "spoilerific" about that poster exept if you consider the character featuring in it as a spoiler. But I'm quite glad my favorite captain will be in it.

The only diffrence so far with Naruto (fillers appart) is the constancy in the storyline. The way it never focus on a side-line story for more then an episode or so. The past is also much faster. But you are right that Naruto is getting quite boring. In fact I've stopped watching it lately cause it was too damn boring. I decided to start again once the fillers end. If they ever end that is. ><

Dude you had better be joking. Oh god I would rather smack myself with a hammer repeatedly.

[NaNash|]

Maybe they should stop the anime after the hour special.

This can bring a clean cut and end it with grace. Rather than having another *sigh* Naruto.

And use the movie(if there is one) to act as a kick start to the new season.

[NoSanninWa]

Oh dear. I was really hoping for reruns or an end to the series.

Now we have to hope that they have good writing. I am not opposed to filler per se. I am merely opposed to badly written filler. Unfortunately the amount of filler in anime which is NOT badly written is quite small. Naruto is merely one example in the horrid lineup of badly written filler.

At least that one filler episode featuring Don Kannoji was well written... perhaps there is some small hope that episodes 65+ won't stink like spoiled fish.

[Itachikun]

I actually agree with most of you. If they can create the fillers to be comedies with everyone, yes including the Gotei 13, then it will be a good filler.

Lol @ Kenpachi x Ichigo racing or Ichigo x Byakuya playing chess.

Also Yachiru x Inoue ...kya

WHOA. That picture was so freaking cool. Matsumoto....*nose bleed*

Yes well it was a good episode, but it also was a single episode. I fear its not the same game when they alsmost plan an entire season like for Naruto. They have to plan stories several weaks ahead that bind togetter so it dosent look too cheezy. My point is, I've rarely seen such bad fillers when its a single episode. Maybe cause I can see a light at the end.(the preview) Just kidding but I tolerate Short Side story like Don Kanonji.

BTW I Also like the idea of reruns but frankly I havent seen that in a while.

[Thewanderer]

I don't see what's so wrong with anime-only episodes. Especially if they're gonna do what I think they're gonna do at Ichigo's high school. I wish there'd be MORE things like this in anime, where characters take time off from fighting/mainstream things and just have some fun.

[Kurz]

I personaly hope they expand on the Girl who reads from her book as she walks. She seems to be a interesting character

[Yachiru]

As long as they don't hire the same filler crew from Naruto, that's fine with me. ^^

[Itachikun]

Um, isnt it the same studio? Pierrot?. Though I dont know about script wise, I think Pierrot is the animation studio, if Im not mistaken.

Lol, it took me almost a minute to realize wich character you were talking about.

But yes, the school gang certainly deserves an episode or two.

I want an episode or two about that guy who only dated "mature women", he ruled! And what about Orihime's best pal (the girl with blue hair), hopefully she'll return in the filler season.
