[Xeim]

This is a club for members who are fans of the bleach anime and/or manga. If you've never watched/read either then, please don't ask to join.

Rules

-Follow the rules of the Forum

-To join, you must have 150 or more posts

So, here's how it'll work. In bleach there is the Gotai 13 (or 13 protection Squads). To add the spirit of bleach to this club, we'll use that system as the ranking system. But, because 13 is such a huge number, we'll start off smaller. If, the club becomes to large, we'll expand the number, but it will never go beyond 13. This is NOT character based, so, if I lead squad 1, that does NOT make me Yamamoto, and if a member leads say, squad 11, that does NOT make them Zarakai.

I'm open to suggestions, and so if you see any way to expand on this let me know.


Current club activities:

Character Equivalents- Compare BLEACH characters to characters from another anime/manga/movie/Tv show etc.

Vs.- Pit two bleach characters you would like to see fight against each other

zanpakuto appearance- Theorize on what the physical form of characters' zanpakuto look like.

Memories of Shinigami RP- explained in OOC. Link is below.

Shinigami and Zanpakuto- This one almost goes hand in hand with 'zanpakuto appearance' sometimes. Compare zanpakuto's attacks and personalities (if available) to their shinigami counterpart. You may be surprised at what you find.

Doppelganger- Ever thought you looked like a bleach character? Now is your time to share!

Filler Arc- Currently without a name, we are designing our own filler arc. This arc will be everything a fan could want from filler...even though such a thing will never truly exist.

Rasler's Character Strength Rankings- A list complied by Captain Rasler. Read it here.Have suggestions? Post them up in the club.

Contests

Make Your Own BLEACH Opening! This contest is not yet official. We do not know if enough people have the software or materials to make their own openings. If we do in fact get enough people, and we don't need tons, then we'll definitely kick this contest off the ground.

Also, we always have some sort of active discussion taking place. Though, you don't have to post about each activity in each post. If you want to, then Kudos.

New ideas for activities are always welcome and appreciated.


Memories of Shinigami
We have organized a members only RP.

This is a link to the OOC.

Ranks

You're ranked according to the number of posts you have in the club. This doesn't mean you can needlessly spam to get that 3rd seat ranking, because I'll subtract all those spam posts from your total number. -_- The member with the most posts in their division gets third seat, second most gets fourth, and so on.

When you reach 50 posts, you have the option of becoming a vice-captain.

Captains are hand-selected by myself. You must have good quality posts that show knowledge of the show, and I prefer that you watch the Japanese subs (or raw if you can speak Japanese). If the need arises for another captain, I will PM the most eligible member.

When you join, you are put into the Shinigami Academy until you reach 25 posts. This is to root out members who are simply going to join and then decide not to post.

If a member falls inactive within the club and RP, they will be placed in the reserve force.

Note: Posts in the RP contribute to your post count.

*Sigh of relief*. A new beggining. Yeah the old one was getting stressful and kinda crazy. Anyways once again, I would like to join this club. I would love to be second captain, if that's okay with you.

Edit:For some reason,Xeim I feel bad for leaving Bangaathief waiting for so long.So maybe we should give him some sort of a position?

[abarai renji]

yay, i'm in finally. as for my squad, i don't know enouph about the show to be a captain, so can i be the 1st squad vice captain or something?
also, i think a rp would be awesome. we should totally do it once we have more members

[Xeim]

In the post it states that vice-captains will be selected by their activeness (is that even a word?) in the club. So, I can make you a member of 1st squad, but otherwise just stay active!

So, ok, Doughboy, bangaathief, you're in.

[abarai renji]

yay, ok i'll be very active. and to keep this thread from becoming spam, who's read the manga? i have the first 4 volumes. until recently i wasn't that obsessed with it, but as of late i've really started getting into it.

[Xeim]

I have watched all 108 episodes, but I have only recently gotten into the manga. I read the first chapter of the first volume. I own the first two.

Its refreshing to read the manga after watching the show. It reminds you of how the show used to be, or of the little detail that your mind didn't quite retain.

[Omega OwA]

Hey, I'd like to join the club. I just got intrested in the anime when my cousin showed me a random episode. Even though I didn't understand what was going on it got my attention. I haven't read the manga yet but I've gotten up to episode 23 on Youtube but I'm stuck there since youtubes going wierd on me. Anyways, hope you'll let me in.

[Yuuki]

Oh good I was plaing to join the old one but it was closed and stuff.
I've seen alot of episodes but probually no where near as much as there are. I've read the manga more then I have seen the anime. I have been watching the anime on youtube lately though.
Well I hope you will let me join this club.

[Xeim]

Ok, Omega OwA, Yuuki, welcome! Please go ahead and choose your sqad, and I'll add you to the member's list. Please try not to go for the same sqad, we want this spread out a little.

Omega: I hope you tube works itself out, its no fun being stuck at episod 23!!! That's torture!!


By the way, there's a BLEACH movie coming out. BLEACH: Memories of Nobody. If anyoneone knows anything about it, please share!!!

[Yuuki]

Thank you for letting me join the club.
So, then I think I'll go ahead and join the first squad with Xeim and bangaa thief. Also I found A site for the Bleach movie, BLEACH: Memories of Nobody but i won't do you much good unless you have the language translator thingy. I also found this one at wikipediabut I'm fairly sure some of the data is wrong...so that one might not be very good...

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

I got the ok from Xeim via PM
So can i be in the first squad with Yuuki and Doughboy?
Go Bleach Club!

[abarai renji]

ok, i've got a few questions. are the soul reapers born in the soul society or are they humans that died and went over? also, how come some of the people would get older like rukia, but some would stay the same age, like the bird kid's friend?
also, for this club, if need arises for more squads, then how will the captains of the new ones be decided?

[Xeim]

Soul Reapers are humans that died and had a high amount of spirit energy in their afterlife (in soul society). You don't HAVE to become a soul reaper, even if you meet the requirements. We see that Rukia and Renji don't become soul reapers until there is nothing left for them in Rukongi. If they choose to, they enter a school and are usually, eventually, drafted into a squad.


Bird kid's friend?? hmm...I'm not quite sure if I remember who that is but, if he died at the same time as the bird kid then you wouldn't see a difference in growth. Same principal as with you. You aren't going to look 20 years older tomorrow. Rukia grew over a passage of time. Though it seems that once you become a soul reaper, your growth slows

The captains of new squads will be decided by how much they know about the show. Basically, they had to have watched all the released episodes, and have a general understanding of Soul Society and its inhabitants. Also, I don't want them to be rude, because that would make those who haven't watched all the episodes feel uncomfortable.

Also, welcome Kurosaki, good to have you in the club.

I hope that helps!!!

--Xeim--

[Omega OwA]

Thanks Xeim, even though I didn't ask anything, that information helps
Anyways, I'll be in Squad 3 then. As for the Bleach Movie, I couldn't find anything decent, or in english "-_-. Ah well. I've gotten to episode 32 so far and things are getting intresting. I only wished I could go through the episodes faster. Also, for the RP, if we are going to have one, how far would it go into the storyline?

[Xeim]

bangaa was the one asking the questions, lol.


For the RP: I think it would be would be a stand-alone of us taking over soul society and running it instead the characters. Or we could just be substitute soul reapers, and in terms of storyline, it would probably be post 'bounto arc,' which is where the show is right now. Maybe something about us fighting the 'bad guys,' who should be returning to the show soon. I haven't quite worked it out because I wasn't planning on doing it unless we got a decent amount of members.

[abarai renji]

yup. thx for clearing up that for me. I'm on ep. 34 now, and i was just confused w/ the flashback and some of the details.

Go Bleach Club!

About time you join!!!! Welcome to the club. Anyways earlier this morning I was watching Episode 37 of Bleach in Japanese and then I wondered if they had any ones in English. I searched for one on Youtube and I found episode 1 so I watched it in English. I must say I don't speak Japanese or understand it but it sounds better in Japanese then English. Maybe its just me but yeah.

[Xeim]

Well, if you have any more questions, please ask!

Doughboy: Yes, I fully agree with you on that. Last I checked they had about 10-13 episodes in english. The thing with Japanese shows is that when they're translated the meaning is often times lost so that the dialouge fits the movement of the character's mouth. Also, I just love listening to how fast they talk. Once, I zoned out listening to the japanese and missed dialouge of an entire scene........



So that we can get started, who is everyone's favorite shinigami (soul reaper)? and, if you don't feel that you have a decent grasp on soul reapers, then, who was your favorite overall character??

For me it would have to be Hitsugaya Toushiro. He's smiled once in the show, and even then, you could barely call it a smile. Being so young, I find it quite funny how much respect he commands. I still don't quite get how he ended up a captain. I mean in a flashback he says he never wants to become a shinigami and then......

Anyway, I just love the way he acts. Always serious no matter the situation. And the way he interacts with Matsumoto. Matsumoto's laid back outlook perfectly compliments Hitsugaya's serious outlook.

His zanpukto is quite different from others seeing that it always remains in its blade form, and rather he summons....well...ice.
Shikai: a dragon (made of ice)
Bankai: well pretty much a load of ice O.O

EDIT: I just recieved a PM from Yuuki requesting that she's moved to the 2nd squad. Therefore, well, what to say besides, she will be.

[Yuuki]

Well my favorite shinigami (soul reaper) is Rukia.
Mainly because she can be random and strange at times to the point where it freaks out Ichigo. (Well at least in the episodes I’ve seen) Sure she lives in Ichicgo's closet and doesn’t have all her powers but she’s still my favorite. Ichigo is a close second even if his name is strawberry but still he’s cool. As like Xeim said Toushiro has a great personality but to me he's a little too serious.

[Asch]

Ahhh yes a bleach club I would like to join. Im still on episode 79 but im gonna watch some bleach now lol. Hitsugaya owns all of course. And Least favorite character for me is Aizen...that bastard xD
