-Eisen: Himmel we need to defeat the demon king asap, Why are you wasting your time washing your ass, just wipe it.
-Himmel: if I'm gonna beat the demon king, I would like to do it my way. I would want to be clean.
-Heiter: AUfdsfa-fodshfaeoojnmbg (he is drunk)
-Frieren: Corrupt Priest, Also I have a spell that just cleans your ass entirely after a dump. You want me to use it?
-Himmel: No, that's not the point, I would like to make a change, to the people I saved. I would like to make a difference, that's the hero way.

-Frieren 50 years later: You made a change (crying)

Great ... series, if you are not some hobo who wants every second to be action-packed, go watch MHA if you are, this is the best anime I watched in a while. I would best describe it as a "fresh air". Calm, sweet, its really like that breeze you feel in a spring morning. Tho some characters are a bit plain, frieren and fern just carries the show with the help of some unique faces they met on the road. I would recommend this to everybody, literally.

6th episode will be the famous "6th episode" after next week and probably will hold the "best bleach episode ever" title until the end of time.

I really can't understand the viewpoint of the people who give mid scores to this anime and say it's cutting a lot of material from the manga, as a person who watched the old bleach and read the whole manga I am really enjoying this "fast pace" on the early episodes. It brings this arcs shock effect to the maximum and plus Tite Kubo is in this adaptation people, it's probably the writer's choice to give bleach a fresh, jump ... start after loads of fillers and silly fights lasting like 5 episodes. Personally, I am really enjoying it so far.

So if we are done with these gibberish arguments I would like to point out the things that are going crazy in the anime right now. I am writing this review and only 5 eps are out right now. 5th episode was crazy and like I said 6th episode will be the famous 6th episode after next week and probably will win the "best bleach episode ever" title until the end of time. I don't wanna spoil anything., just holding on to your chairs, maintain your blood pressure throughout the episode, and hopefully finish it before dying from joy would be my advice.

Soundtrack-wise, I am speechless. Shiro Sagisu was always great but making this soundtrack this good in his sixties is a crime. The way he gives Quincies their brand-new menacing imperial themes, bringing old soundtrack with a new taste and adding his "epic theme collection" new tunes every single episode is just.. like I said, I am speechless. I was waiting for a good OST but this one blew my mind and I hope after the first break this season he releases some of the tracks cause I can't wait 2 years to listen to this masterpiece.

The animation- is good. I can't say I lost my mind over it, definatly doesn't have the vibe of the old episodes but a new taste of its own and I think that appropriate to the situation Bleach is in right now, like after what, 8-10 years you are animating the last arc of an anime and it looks different. Tho to be honest even in manga the distinction between the TYBW arc and the rest is very clear, at least it is to me. So animation and color palettes are different from old but I don't think they are bad but fitting to the situation at hand. I am sure some will say old was better drawn and some will say new has fluent action, I will say I love both and am very pleased with the animation quality for this arc.

Gotta add something about the voice actors real quick, I have 4 issues in mind, first,
-Yamamoto's voice actor passed away and the new VA nailed it so that's a relief.
-Ichigo's VA has grown old I think, his voice is more crispy, and especially the Getsuga-Tenshou sounds a bit different but I am okay with that right now.
-I don't know what happened to Hitsugaya and Byakuya tho. Both have the same VAs but Hitsugaya sounds very deep and Byakuya is just not the Byakuya, he doesn't have that sound in his voice anymore and speaks very casually. I guess the only thing I dislike about the anime at the moment is how they butchered Byakuya's sound with the same actor.

Final notes--
Watching Bleach with this new look and fast pacing really is a lecture on "how you bring a 10-year-old shonen anime to life" and i think we will be seeing this formula for other old animes in upcoming years. Loving how Bleach proceeds right now and I am very satisfied with the outcome, cant actually wait for the new episodes, it's that good.

You can waste 7 hours watching the rebuilds, or you can spend 10 hours rewatching the neon genesis Evangelion. I favor the second one.

Evangelion rebuilds fall short against its predecessor in almost every aspect other than its animation quality.

-1.0 and 2.0 were both recaps, the only difference is the fact that 2.0 had a different ending than the anime, and let me tell you this, even though I loved that ending %90 of the things that came after are straight garbage.

-3.0 is a matrix knockoff with a foul plot line and pace and it kinda tells the same story with Kaworu only worse. ...

-3.0+1.0 tho tells a much more unique and complex story, Starting with a great sequence and continues with probably my favorite arc of the rebuilds "the village arc". Exploring the meaning of life with Ayanami, learning, and blending in with people was great. I think the end for the village arc was pretty solid too but after that rest of the movie just goes bat shit crazy. There was so much happening in that last half of the movie after watchIng that for like 20 minutes i just stopped thinking because the more I try to solve the complexity of that last part the more it seemed like they just had 2 days to write that script and they just poured everything they knew and imagined about Evangelion to the paper but done it impeccably bad.

Did I regret spending 7 hours on the rebuilds?
Probably no, 1 and 2 were fun but not great, 3 was straight terrible and 3+1 had a great first half and a very bad last half. If I were you I would just watch the neon genesis Evangelion and when Kaworu dies throw the village arc to the watch order for fun and then continue with the rest of the anime + The End of Evangelion.
