BLEACH IS FINALLY BACK!!! ...And well, the big return was rather uneventful, for the most part. The final battle is starting, which is big news... That we already pretty much knew from the previous chapter that you all may have forgotten because it was over a month ago. The Quincy do reveal the secret to how they have been able to invade the soul society, despite its' defenses, and that was both interesting and important, as it sets for just how the Quincy have been able to find all the Soul Society's weaknesses and to gain so much power.
I think Bleach has been suffering for a long time from an overabundance of characters. Like in a lot of the previous chapters, there has been so much jumping around back and forth that it feels like nothing is really getting moved along in terms of the story and conflict. While I understand that everyone has their favorite captains, Quincy, etc, Kubo really needs to narrow it down a bit in the interest of moving this narrative along. I expect that once the ball gets rolling things won't be so slow, but these "down-time" chapters seem to drag down the entire narrative when they hardly go anywhere. It has still been an enjoyable series, but it feels like we've been in the same place for months, and after this long hiatus, I was expecting a stronger return. However, that doesn't mean that it won't pick up in the coming chapters, because the battle itself is starting at the end of this chapter. So stay tuned, and stay nerdy, my friends.
