Bleach Complete Series 12 - Zanpakuto: The Alternate Tale (Episodes 230-265) [DVD]

Now I know 'filler' is annoying for some anime/ manga fans BUT this one in Bleach was actually really good and I enjoyed it immensely! In my eyes how 'filler' arcs should be done plus the mangaka actually designed most of the characters himself which is always good

Thank you so much

Arrived quickly. Was in excellent condition. Kids love the Bleach series. As a side story they rated it 5 stars.

I very much enjoyed this filler season. I was lucky that when I came to Bleach it had already aired so if I wanted to I could skip the filler episode's and season's but i choose not to.The idea of the zanpakuto manifesting was a pretty interesting one and this filler season delivered some great episode's. we learn more about the charters and there zanpakuto and I can honestly say that 99% of the episode's are really encaging. I was always eager for the next episode and never board. As a filer season this was a pretty good one.This season even poke's fun at a few plot holes which made me snigger somewhat. The zanpakuto themselves are pretty funny themselves and there are some pretty intense moments between zanpakuto and master.All in all this is a fun season and a nice break from the intense story arc it break's up.

As of this bleach season it is the best sub story there is, seeing thre swords come to life was great

After yet another long wait Bleach has finally decided to grace us with another complete box set (why such a long wait??) And I'm sure many fans will be disheartened to learn that this whole box set is filler, HOWEVER there is some good news here, despite the horrible cutting off of the main story arc (yet again) this filler is actually largely enjoyable.This filler arc is all about zanpakuto manifesting in human form which in and of itself is an interesting idea, the concept alone hopefully intrigues you.The first couple of volumes of this box set are great with the zanpakuto manifesting and rebelling against their masters the fights are plentiful and surprisingly well animated (by filler standards)Main bad guy Muramasa initially strikes up a lot of intrigue with his power to manifest zanpakuto and it's made clear quickly that he really isn't a fan of most soul reapers.I enjoyed the way the story progressed to begin with. All the various soul reaper captains have their own moments in the spotlight and for the most part they do a good job of keeping things interesting.The zanpakuto themselves are all pretty interesting with Zabimaru and Kazishini (sorry if my spelling is off) being my personal highlights.The problems start ... well... at the end.... ends. The filler closes off with some rubbish animation and some very uninspiring "plot twists" to make matters worse, when the story ends... it starts back up again for another dozen episodes with the animation being worse than ever. The final final ending is very "meh" with little care being given to storytelling and is just wholey disappointing.Overall I give a 6 out of 10. There are moments where this filler is good, arguably even great. But it all falls apart in the end (in typical filler style) My advice is to either wait till this box set drops in price or just skip it in its entirety. It isn't a total waste of time but you could definitely spend your money in a better way. Thanks for reading!

If this filler arc wasnt as good as it is I would have been livid. However, it is great. I just hope the next few seasons do not take forever until they are sold as one set...such a rip off otherwise.

Bleach is always brilliant (except some filler seasons), and while this is a filler, it is very good. Just watch them for a bit, they can drop by a tenor or more easily.

excellent!!

Wieder eine tolle DVD Box von Bleach, die ich einfach haben musste.... hier auf dieser DVD Box befindet sich eine Filler Arc... die Zanpakuto Arc. Auch, wenn es eine Filler Arc ist, gefällt sie mir sehr sehr gut und bereue den Kauf keineswegs!Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!
