User blog comment:Avolling/Fullbring - The Detested Arc?/@comment-44061-20111216051022

Well to answer your post. I dont think your making good points. I love Bleach myself, though i make it plain that I wont just take something a face value and be like I love it. If I dont like it, then I basically say it and why I dont like it. As for this current arc, I would agree its sub-par in comparison to other arcs. I feel about it the way I felt about the bount arc. While I appreciate knowing the background of Chads powers and seeing new characters with new powers, I just personally dont like where the story went. Everything was alright for me until they gave Ichigo a fullbring with no real explanation as to how he even has one, right after they explained the only way someone can have one. Then Kugo is another issue, his powers are so bunched up on top of one another you dont know whether he is coming or going. Then we are supposed to believe humans (regardless of having some type of spiritual power) can take on experienced and powerful captains/seated officers, with little to no real effort. Why give Ichigo a fullbring if the entire point was to get his shingiami powers back, it just didnt make sense in the storyline for him to ever even have one. Whether the fullbringers are interesting characters is on a preference base. While some of the powers are interesting, most of them had small reflective personalities of existing characters, they also didnt have much going on of interest or personality. They didnt have enough going on for me to feel anything for them. Also human characters in my point of view are so boring, what can they really bring to the table. For reference look at Chad in the entire series his power is basically second to last offensively (uryu) and last defensively and supportive (orihime). Majority of the time he could barely hold up against various powerful foes. Could this been different if he knew more about his power, sure. But in general how do we justify fullbringers. Well there are those that like human characters. What I say to that is, they fulfill their part by being ichigo's anchor to humanity, need they have another purpose, no, why? well how useful are they in a fight? They arent they are at best victims in a series about fighting. I feel you have to sometimes question whether something makes sense or seems off or dislike something that you feel is disrupting the story.
