A Decent end to a Decent Season but...
So this dvd has the end of the New Captain Arc. That is not exactly a bad thing and I actually found the season to be enjoyable. It wasn't as good as the main story line but I did like it more than the Bount Arc. There is a lot of action and parts of it remain funny too. They've struck a nice balance between serious and light-hearted, so in itself it isn't a bad season. If you wanted to you could skip over it of course but...
Episodes 190-193 are not part of the New Captain Arc!!!!!!!!! They are the continuation of the main story line!
The last four episodes in this set are the beginning of season 10. Now one could always say that Bleach does enough recaps during the episodes that one could continue the story when they come out with uncut box set 13...but these are not filler episodes. They are quality great episodes, and shouldn't be missed.
Bottom line: decent season, but if you want to follow the story you need to see the last 4 episodes on this set. I...
Great Set/Series, but....
I love the series and have bought every set up to this point, but the aspect ratio disappoints me on this one. From episode 190 onward, these episodes should be in 16:9 format, and why no blu ray? Even the extras for 190+ have widescreen, but they choose to crop to 4:3 for the episodes themselves. Why is this now being produced as though it's 2002? In 2012, just make a 16:9 release in HD.
The filler gets really good.
The best Bleach story arc yet is what you get if you buy box set 12. The story about Rurichiyo gets hotter. The new Captain of squad 3 is actually the mastermind behind Rurichyo's assassination attempt. He has a grudge against Head Captain Yamamoto. Ichigo goes after the new captain to stop him from killing the Head Captain. This is a very cool story arc. We get a little bit of insight into the past of Yamamoto and a good look into the man's character. This is not a box set that you want to miss.
