Manga beats anime just as much as Book beats movie. ALWAYS. Especially with series in which the artwork is as amazing as Bleach (and any CLAMP manga). The anime is good, but the animators can never hope to reach the same artwork level as the manga (and we have cases of very dreadful drawing in the anime, such as episode 273. AWFUL!!). Not to mention that they mess things up, they add up to fights to make them longer, change things (Rukia vs Rudobon and Ishida vs Yammy was completely ruined in the anime) and, well you get the general idea.

I'm not saying the anime is atrocious, I love it to death. Seeing my favorite characters in full color, moving and clashing swords, and hearing them speak! Bleach has amazing, top class seiyuu. The BG music is incredible too and the OP and ED are to die for. But nothing beats the manga.

Glad to know I've inspired someone to read the manga. That's awesome, everyone should read the manga and be up to date with it!! And to know that there are now some people that actually read my blog before reading the chapter. That's totally crazy!

On a random note: I just saw that I had '69' comments and thought of Shuuhei. It's like an automatical connection now.
