Something I've Read: Bleach

 Bleach. Oh Bleach, Bleach, Bleach. What should I say about Bleach?

Well, I was shown the anime by a friend back in...year 10 or 11 I'd guess, so getting on for five or six years ago now. It was one of the things that really got me in to the genre as a whole (Next month I'll be focusing on one of the others). I still read it when it comes out, but I wouldn't say I'm so much a fan, as I am a reader...

Something I've Read: One Piece

Around...five years ago now, my brother began to try to convince me to read a certain series about pirates. I was already into some manga, and in particular it was around the height of my enjoyment of Bleach, so it wasn't that big a leap, but I will admit, I just couldn't get into it. While it was sort of fun at the beginning, the pacing of the arcs was pretty slapshod, the art style was pretty dull and all the fights ended with the main character Luffy curbstomping the villain. After about thirty chapters, I gave up on it and didn't read it again for about six months.

Classically, it turns out I quit right at the wrong time.
