The idea that people are comparing how long it takes them to read Bleach to how long it takes them to read other manga is flawed because perception of how time passes easily changes depending on what you're doing. Saying the time it "felt" like means nothing unless you're actually timing how long it takes you to read. And if you're timing yourself, that probably means you're already trying to prove a point, in which case more likely than not, the results will match what you've already convinced yourself the case should be. Whether they realize it or not, simply believing the idea that "Bleach chapters are always too short" is enough to cause most people to change their reading pace to support that fact. Quote:
Anyways. Excuse the rant. It's just something I wanted to get off my chest and I've done that so I'm fine. I'm officially over it now.

All we really know about Tsukishima is that he is the bad guy. That is it. Nothing else was explained. You are suppose to dislike him because you know he attack Ishida, Orihime and Chad (and apparently his family, other friends and boss in recent chapters). There are no motives (explained to the audience) of why he would want to do this, except for and stated by felix, his apparent crush on Ichigo. Has Tsukishima been stalking Ichigo his whole life as Aizen did? No one knows because Kubo hasn’t explained a damn thing. All we’re supposed to do is go along with the fact that he’s evil.

Yea but did u see the color spread. I am glad Kubo hasn't forgotten about them after all. Kubo you were #1 this week now bring Rukia, Kon ,and Yoruichi back. Show that there was a reason for the color spread.

memory alteration? looks like mind control to me. if tsukishima merely altered their memories and forcefully included himself in them, then why do they follow him like dogs? even while he was boasting about his powers they didn't realize what he was doing to ichigo. he has put them in a sort of spell. this is what you call screwing with people's minds. lol

When it comes to reading Bleach and how little content there actually is in each chapter, I end up comparing it to Naruto since that is the only other manga I read on a weekly basis right now.
When I read Naruto I take my time. I sit back, read what each character has to say because it is almost always important to the plot, and study the art. When I read Bleach I feel like I'm skimming. There is very little text on each page that would require me to spend more than 1.5 seconds reading it. The art is nice, but at this point it looks the same as everything else he's ever done so I don't feel the need to sit back and appreciate it from week to week. But that's just me. Kubo would do well to put more thought into his dialogue. Everything said should serve a purpose, whether it's character development, plot development or humour. I don't always get that from Bleach.

Ichigo's fullbring powers at the moment seem exactly like his old shingami powers(super-speed, agility, etc.)...except less. Gotta admit, I did think the Spiderman pose last chapter was pretty cool. Uryuu, Isshin and Urahara need to arrive soon.

Aren't we all hoping it has something to do with a new arc, but I hope Isshin is really trying to make Ichigo a full shinigami. Remember the future comment. I hope that happens next.

That color page reminds me-- whatever happened to Kon anyway? I don't think it's ever been explained, he seems to have just dropped off the face of the earth. Shouldn't he still be at Ichigo's house, unless he left for some reason? I guess Kubo couldn't figure out what to do with him.
