Catching up with Bleach, Naruto and the new Gundam 00 season.

It's been a while, but whatever, Bleach is moving ahead, pretty nice. It looks like we are finally going to see the real fights, Espada vs. Captains, should be exiting. I did like the matches, except for the Halibel vs. Toushiro match. I think its a joke, really. Halibel might be the 2nd or 3rd Espada, and Toushiro IS a Captain, although he is rather too pathetic to be one. So, I don't know how he will be able to fight or keep up with Halibel, that looks like she plays no games at all! Toushiro was barely able to beat one of Grimjow's cronies, and now facing an Espada, and not just any Espada, this espada is stronger that Noitora, whom Kenpachi had the hardest time beating, she is also stronger than Ulquiorra, Ulquiorra beat the crap out of Ichigo and looks to be scary strong. And to add to it, she could probably kill all these named espada's! So I don't understand how he is going to come out victorious, but after all, she is evil, she must die. I was exited to see Stark unsheathe his blade, and also exited about Kyokary taichou taking things serious, (he looks serious). Soi Fon and Omaeda has some cleaning up to do, before facing Barragan, who might be the 1st Espada, so it's also a hard battle ahead for them. So its good to see that Bleach is moving in a good direction. Naruto has been getting good as well. Killer Bee the 8th tail was captured, only to find out it was some sort of a fake, and he's out there still. Pain has invaded Konoha, all seven or six of him. One of his bodies has begun a fight with Kakashi, it should be an excellent one! Naruto completed his Sage training, and Tsuande seeing the deteriorating scenario in Konoha wants him back, NOW!!! So Naruto is entering into a decisive phase, we might see Sasuke vs. Naruto, Tsunade vs. Pain or Tobi, who knows.

The new Gundam 00 season began last weekend, October 5. The episode was nice, and a bit more violent in look than the other season. It looks like the characters are no longer kids, in any way. The first episode was more of another introduction to a new world, without gundams. I can't help to ask why it looks so familiar? The story and feeling sounds and feels like Gundam Wing! the so called A-LAWS and ARROWS sound a lot like OZ, and act like them as well. Setsuna is a bit weirder than Heero, Heero could blend in nicer, but Setsuna stands out like a sore thumb. Setsuna is first seen entering a colony and helping out Saji escape enslavement. Then Saji learns that Setsuna is a gundam pilot, much to his dismay. Setsuna still piloting Exia enters battle against the new mobile suits, he loses. But is saved by Tiera Erde in his new gundam seravee. The second episode begins with Setsuna talking to Neil Dylandy's (Lockon Stratos) brother, his twin. He tells him that Neil was a Gundam Meister, and so on. Setsuna also finds Sumeragi Lee Noriega, living with Billy Katagiri. She is apparently drinking excessively, as seen on the table she is sitting next to. Billy is shocked to know that she belongs to Celestial Beings, and apparently picks up drinking. So it ends with Gundam 00 piloted by Setsuna entering the battle, Libbons shocked to see it, and Setsuna whopping ass! At the end Sumeragi is back with the group, and the group is shocked to see Lockon, especially Feltd, but he tells them he isn't Lockon, just his brother, END.
The first two episodes look good, and as to where the story might go, is too soon to know. We still don't know if Graham Aker will play the role of Zechs Marquise or a Char. And what about Ali Al?? We have to wait.
