[@PogMcDog]

DBZ, original FMA and Bleach are some of the few shows I watched in english at first even though I prefered japanese because they were actually easier to find back in 2004-2005. I don't even know if "Number One" was used in the japanese one because I dropped the show and only read the manga after about 100 episodes, but that was iconic.

[@melinadesh]

@@PogMcDog oh hell yeah they used it!! there are some REALLY epic scenes with that ost especially in the soul society arc.. i love kubo's manga art style but i think bleach anime is worth watching since they use the right ost in the right scene and believe me it adds SO MUCH emotion to the scene.

[@PogMcDog]

@@melinadesh Yeah I think the reason I dropped it was because filler arcs. Did you know Bleach is like 45% filler? 164 of 366 episodes are filler. 😶. Poor Kubo was young when Bleach blew up. He felt rushed and had to write something he was dissatisfied with. I am really hoping that we'll get a really good ark from the show's return. I actually dropped and read naruto just the same. But I did come back to naruto to watch some of the important fights. I never did watch every good fight from Bleach, just read them. I should go and watch some highlights before the new season comes out.

[@melinadesh]

@@PogMcDog i just skipped the fillers but then i was curious and watched them after finishing canon episodes. and most of them were pretty good actually. but you know i had no problems when i skipped them. sometimes they just show or mention filler characters in canon episodes but i just ignore them lol also i'm pretty sure you know the good fights since you read the manga but my recommendations would be grimmjow vs ichigo, ulquiorra vs ichigo, nnoitra vs kenpachi and ichigo vs aizen

Rabu no Melody remains my favorite opening for Bleach. I just feel like the song perfectly captures the feel of that time in the series. I also love the animation style of it, from the early scenes showing what the war must look like to the non-spiritual energy(?) civilians, the visceral art-visuals transitioning between the characters, to the final scenes showing parts of Ichigo's past going backward--reminiscing how it all began.

[@Kokomi552]

Same bro, I will forever say that it's my favorite bleach OP

[@OnyxANZ]

It's my second favourite opening personally, but for that period of time? No other song would be able to replace it. It is simply perfect. I'm just a weirdo who loves Velonica, even if it's not the best opening.

So happy to find someone who appreciates Rolling Star!! I know all Bleach openings are praised for being amazing but I feel Rolling Star is not talked about enough, it makes me sad because it is one of my favourite openings in Bleach I think it's unique when compared to other Bleach Openings. Yui's songs in general are really good but even among them Rolling Star is my favourite! It has everything, dynamic music and rhythm, amazing vocals and fluctuating moods. Listening to the whole song feels like you are going through an entire story from start to finish!

That first OP has long been my fav. Not only is the music great, but the art really captures some of Tite Kubo's style. It gives a great glimpse of how Kubo would go out of his way to design some damn stylish outfits for his characters when they aren't in their school uniforms or Shinigami uniforms. Seriously, he could have been a teen fashion icon if he had wanted to be. Even the credits themselves are a nod to his covers and colored inserts.

[@Arthur-io4ey]

That's kinda for the same idea that I like Shojo S, I think about all the pages between chapters in the maga with all the characters getting a thousand of weird outfit and themes, and this opening is here to show that.

[@NinjaTyler]

It's funny how he caught the "wait, they fly now??" That came out of nowhere in the anime as well, Arrancar arc started and everyone started flying.

[@AbyssalMerc]

Technically they are standing and running on the air, not flying

[@AbyssalMerc]

According to what I believe is the canon explanation, they use their spirit pressure to stand in the air and treat as a surface they can walk on. So they walk, run and jump in mid-air otherwise they would be falling to the ground like anyone else. You only ever see those comparable to lieutenants and higher doing it though because it is an advanced technique. If that is mistaken i'd love to know the correct explanation.

[@MaxIronsThird]

@@AbyssalMerc there is no canon explanation. The Fullbringers are shown to be able to create platforms in the air(in the human world), no one else does it though, not even the quincy.

[@SuikoRyos]

They actually only "fly" in the World of the Living and, maybe, in Hueco Mundo. Once they are in the Soul Society they can't fly. There was an explanation, I just don't remember it. Something to do with spirit particles or something.

[@MaxIronsThird]

@@GOTGames to complete : this anime is about a normal 15 years old guy named Ichigo (the redhead guy) who, due to some circonstances, will be given Shinigami's powers (japanese gods of death) and from that point he will be involved (and some of his friends) in their battles on earth or in the Soul Society (Shinigami's realm). Every shingami has a japanese sword (a zanpakuto) who hold a power and an ultimate form called Bankai (now the most exciting thing in this anime is to wait to discover every Shinigami Captain releasing his Bankai, which for some of them will take hundreds of episodes to finally do it). The sensei guy is Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Captain Commander, and the most powerful shinigami in Soul Society.

Bleach is still one of the most stylish anime/manga ever produced. Probably the most stylishly, impeccably dressed cast in anime history. The music is bangin' and every intro is beautifully put together. They all paint the theme of the arc without spoiling anything major. The anime is lighter in tone, but still not gentle; the manga is unflinchingly brutal. Number 1 is also probably one of the best "shits about to get REAL" songs in Anime history. I still get chills every time I hear it. Its Pavlov'd into my brain.

[@Dragonk116]

Number 1 might as well be the national anthem to bleach.

[@JeppeBeier]

To me the Bleach soundtrack is much more iconic than the opening and endings. The soundtrack from throughout the show is really amazing and has tracks that can evoke all kinds of emotions from dread, to sadness, to empowerment. Truly holds a place in the top soundtracks of any shows I've seen for me.

[@VoidedEmptiness]

Some of the greatest battle soundtracks were produced by Shirō Sagisu, a well renowned music artist in anime. To note Shirō Sagisu has been creating music for a long time, if I recall he is in his early to mid 60’s now and he still makes anime music that slap really well. As for other artist with that epic style of battle music with a choir and orchestra or those elements mixed with rock would be Yuki Kajiura and a couple other artists. If I recall Yuki Kajiura has done music for the Fate series and SAO. There are some other smaller artist make music that could chill the spine when used right for a fight scene like Suilen, with her song Zakuro used in the fight between Seras Victoria and Zoren Blitz from Hellsing Ultimate.

[@JeppeBeier]

@@VoidedEmptiness One of my favorite tracks from the show "Nothing Can Be Explained" which is by Mike Wyzgowski.

i'm glad you enjoy this! personally, op 13, ranbu no melody is hands down my fav opening from bleach! i still listen to it regularly today. the anime is basically about our human main character, a whole bunch of shinigami (death gods) and how they interact basically lol. i haven't watched it in a decade so i don't remember much of it hahah

[@lucariomew365]

That last intro always throws everyone off, even if they don't say it, the face says it all😂. Incidently, as both a long time manga reader and anime watcher, it does gets the strongest emotional response to me. It's bittersweet, because the title cards that flash across the screen, as Ichgio walks forward, represents multiple arcs and chapters/episodes.

[@assgrabberpremium]

I agree with the “gets me emotional” thing. Bro the title cards going by gives me the same feel like when you’re remembering your sweetest memories through the fuzzy mist, that you see in flashbacks in movie or anime scenes. And especially paired with the music. It never ceases to bring a tear to my eye

[@nickvanachthoven7252]

the best thing about it is. spread out over all the openings that season, all the title cards of all the previous episodes flash by once. quite frankly. its a nice farewell to all the viewers.

[@elinfame8572]

It also summarises Ichigo's character developments over the arcs, ahhh the feels

[@revboyx]

I watched BLEACH a while after it came out ... and kept at it till the end ; many argue that it lost it's touch at the end, but your video reminded me of how much I enjoyed all the opening songs the anime used

[@kalavashstormbringer]

D-Technolife will always be one of my all-time Top 5 You should hear the main character Ichigo's theme, that slaps. The 5th OP us Rolling Star by YUI, she is also the artist behind the 1st FMA: Brotherhood OP Again. Aqua Timez did a few of them, so did Scandal. Each Arc has its own Vibe, but it all ties in together in the end.

[@WyldTenshi]

OMG I am so happy you did this one! Bleach has always been a favorite of mine and I am (like many others) so hyped that this show is finally returning to finish the final season after all of these years. If you ever do decide to check it out on the channel, I definitely wouldn't mind. 😁 I never really thought about how difficult it is to try and guess what the show is about just from the openings alone as this one kind of is all over the place. They do make sense if you know what's going on, but yeah, I can see where the confusion comes from if you've never seen an episode before. Anyways, I hope you also do check out the endings as well as those are really awesome as well. Can't wait for the next one! 💜

[@taikisaruwatari5148]

One of the things confusing you are the filler seasons' opening. During the release of the anime there were seasons where the manga (source material) wasn't far enough for them to adapt a full season. So they created full seasons themselves without much of any input by the author. That's why you feel like the theme suddenly change

[@aizensama9141]

Looking back now the openings really mirrored what was going on each season. From the artwork to the music, everything flowed wonderfully.

The show is 200 Episodes minus the filler. You can definitely watch it since the conclusion to this anime is going to get aired on October 10 this year. The graphics are movie-level for the final arc. Small details in this show are very important that's why a lot of fans actually like it better after rewatching because you'll miss a lot of the details on the first watch. I guess you can always ask your fans and Patreon viewers for clarification while watching the series.

If you decide to watch then I think you won't be disappointed. Listening to you try and put together whats happening in the show just based on the openings was great because you were and weren't wrong in some of your assumptions. With the final arc about to air in like 4 days its not a bad time to get into it.

After just having finished the entire series yesterday. This is so nice to see someone vibing out to these amazing intros. What a blast this series has been!

So much nostalgia. Some of the songs that kinda felt out of place are filler seasons. But even the filter eps were mostly good. Bleach is my favorite anime glad I lived to see it come back.

[@Hinton_418]

They did a phenomenal job making the openings. Each of the openings for each arc does a amazing job at setting the atmosphere for that arc/season.

[@tomclanys]

Some of my most favourite openings overall, and the anime itself has a special place in my heart, since I've grown up together with it all the way to the last episodes, it shaped my character somewhat and gave so many emotions. It's a lengthy and not always the greatest quality anime, but it's a classic.

[@Icaroae97]

There's a lot of nostalgia involved. I love every op, but I know it's because of the feeling. As a child, I marathoned all 350 episodes non-stop, watching the openings every time. So imagine the feeling it is to hear these songs more than 10 years later. It's almost indescribable. Thanks for the content. Good job.

Oh man I felt so much nostalgia watching your reaction; Ranbu no Melody will always hold a special place in my heart. I think you might really get a kick out of the openings and endings for Fire Force!

[@MidnightEden]

Just for reference, the anime adaptation that we've seen so far has been somewhat sensored from the original manga! Bleach can get pretty dark, but a lot of it is fairly tame compared to the new stuff that's going to come out: Thousand Year Blood War. With a name like that, well, you can imagine what happens lol

[@unfilteredandnevacensored3664]

love how you managed to figure out half of what's going on and the flying part was...well you are half right lol. The "flying" isn't technically flying but its them basically having the ability to be in the air without having to worry about gravity messing with them. The "flying at high speeds" part is just them moving really quickly. Think of the Pokemon move Quick Attack or Extreme Speed without the first priority always go first tac. The high speed movement is called Shunpo and the dark skinned lady with Purple hair in a long ponytail and orange looking clothing is very good at Shunpo if anything she's a pro. little info on BLEACH. its an anime show about a high school teenager named Ichigo Kurosaki (orange hair guy who see mostly in each themed opening) who ends up becoming a Soul Reaper (the guys in black garb clothing and swords) after meeting a young women who goes by the name Rukia Kuchiki (raven haired girl who was in white sitting back to back with Ichigo in the second them opening) who was trying to save Ichigo's family from an attack by an invading monster known as a Hollow (the monsters with single hole in either chest area or other places on they're body) The Swords the Soul Reapers have are called Zanpakto and each has two stages of modes: Shikai and Bankai. Shikai half awaken. Bankai fully awaken. In order to be a Soul Reaper Captain (guys who are in white and black clothing) you most display you can go from Shkai to Bankai. There is only one Captain who can't go Bankai and he's the only exception due to his battle prowess.

[@chon4k]

Opening 13 just unlocked something in me that was dormant for a very long time. So excited for Blood War part 3.

[@valla7644]

The first episode explains the rules of the world of Bleach and the next 4 episodes flesh out how things functioning. Honestly it is refreshing how fast they give you the context while also being interesting.

[@No.One.30]

Back when Bleach ran on Adult swim I was not interested in the slightest and then I caught the episodes in the soul society and Ichigo was fighting Kenpachi and it just so happened that they had to catch the dub with the sub so the reran the entire series, won't lie and say I enjoyed substitute soul reaper arc but in hindsight it's a pretty simple and solid introduction to the series and I enjoy it more now than back then.

[@lordomacron3719]

Bleach's First Ep is almost perfect it does everything it has to. I was hooked from ep one.

[@kira0080]

That 2nd op really brings back the nostalgia. The reason some openings have new characters and feel completely different is because some of those are for filler arcs.

Hearing the old bleach songs still gives me goosebumps. You should definitely watch this one especially now that they are reopening the anime as it never caught up to the manga. By the way this anime was the one that started it all for me. Now I've watched over a 100

[@zhenelp3398]

You DEFINITELY need to watch the show... Granted the first season is slow paced to set viewer into the universe bit by bit, not to mention how old season 1 is, so the animation might not be as smooth and fluid as we see today, but once you make past the first season, I am sure you would get hooked, coz everything kicks off like an explosion after that (more or less). And you were SOMEWHAT close to some of your theories of what the show was about whilst watching the openings, but without spoiling anything... Know that you will see how the main protagonist (Ichigo Kurosaki) evolve in a way that potentially might make you fall in love with the show. P.S watching your reaction made me want to rewatch the whole show so badly!

[@HD_tempest]

Every single one is an amazing op I get chills every time I hear them the nostalgia hits so hard this was the first anime I ever watched. Staying up late and catching it coming on adult swim

[@n1mr0d82]

All the Openings as well as just all of the Bleach soundtrack is PHENOMINAL! The story is absolutely amazing in my opinion and I will say the openings that seemed random or from leftfield are from separate arcs, with such a long show there are a few different story lines they go through. Personally I cannot recommend this show enough, yes it is longer but it is so worth it. Also its perfect timing because after 10 years they are bringing it back this October to do the last arc and it looks AMAZING!

[@DJofSparta]

Just saw this in my recommendations and decided to check it out. It's interesting seeing you try to piece the story together. Bleach would have a main arc that would build up for so many episodes, and then they would throw a random side arc at you. So that could explain the openings where all the characters changed or they're on a beach now. lol Glad you liked it and hope you got started on the show. After 10 years there is a new arc showing on Hulu now, and the opening for that is really good too.

[@brandonnowakowski7602]

Each one of the Big Three (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece) is absolutely worth a watch, hands-down. They're all big in more ways than one though, so be prepared for a long journey. You can reduce the size somewhat by using a filler guide (many exist for each show), but some of the filler is actually enjoyable, so it's all up to you whether you skip them or not. Edit: Also, if you were considering reacting to more ending songs, Bleach has good ones.

[@majoratwili7312]

Naruto's filler is a very mixed bag imo. Some of it is practically canon (or IS canon but animated from novels or other things Kishimoto has stated are canon) and some.... some is just an absolute bore. Bleach's filler.... Fuckin' *yikes.* The Bount Arc alone is enough for me to want to shoot myself-

[@QuantumFishFTW]

I think with shounen in general it's sort of a mixed bag. For people who watch when they're younger they gain alot of values watching these shows and so it can mean alot more for them. Of course, I'm including myself in it. I love Bleach, Naruto and Dragon Ball etc, but I'm not sure I'd have that same love today for them if I hadn't watched it when I was younger. That's not to say they don't still have the good stuff but there's many more options nowadays to choose from.

[@frozenfury0]

Bleach doesn't even have an overarching plot or explore any themes all it is, is constantly rescue the damsel in distress and save my friends much like Naruto did later on when it became bloated.

[@brandonnowakowski7602]

@@frozenfury0 That's simply not true. It regularly deals with themes of loss, grief, trust, revenge, tradition vs progress and more besides. It might not say anything NEW about any of those things that any other Shonen doesn't, but to say these themes aren't there shows you either don't understand the narrative, or are just being a troll. Or I suppose you could just be talking about Ichigo himself, which is fair. Side characters get more emotional development than he does a lot of the time. As a few examples, Byakuya explores duty to society vs duty to family/himself. Aizen is in many ways a tragic character when you realize he actually feels isolated and trapped by the confines of the world he lives in. Chad's VERY POWERS come from the fact that he's learned to be proud of who he is as a person and overcome the punk he used to be.

Bleach is great if you make sure to skip most of the filler episodes. Which there are entire arcs of. (Filler episodes are not part of the source material, made specifically for the anime adaptations. Usually used to give on-going serializations time to produce more content so the anime doesn’t catch up and run out of source material). A lot of shows are made of 35% or more filler episodes.
