Ichigo is getting a new sword. From the way it looks it would look like Bachs, or the Master Sword.

I hope it's the latter.
Ichigo's Sword Beam is frigging awesome.

Still waiting on the possibility of a third season for the anime. First two i hear were relatively successful. Sigh... Ti's both a blessing and a curse that the anime and manga market in Japan became so bloated. On one hand, we get more stories published than ever, on the other hand, it kind of stifles creativity as mangakas have to stick to what's tried and true and appease the Otakus, who are the only thing floating the boat for most studios, as many of the animes don't even make a profit until figurine and expensive otaku stuff is sold. And what that means is that great series aren't getting a continuation. Which, you know, i'm pretty damn sad about.

Such a third season is airing right now. As in, the first episode came out on Monday.

Madoka Trailer again

This one is translated, and probably won't get taken down since it's the official Aniplex channel.

Watching Natsume Yuujinchou... All seasons. Up to third now.

Pretty decent anime, if not one of the best i've watched... Portrays Youkai in a very different light than usually done, which is welcome, but it's also a bit repetitive and tries too hard to give life lessons.

Been watching Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin good series but I really hope the protagonist's name isnt a spoiler for the end of the series.

Totally forgot about this thread.

Bleach is in a month and a half break while the Author takes suggestions on how to end the series. Naruto on the other hand is still arcing upwards. First Madara starts pwning the crap out of the Kages, then Nine-Tails-Mode Naruto goes Super Mode and beats Obito leading to the whole Ten-Tails summoning which has a bajillion forms. Then the Hokage show up and you think they'd finish things but nope. Obito is now the Ten-Tails host. They are damn near fighting on a Captain's level in Bleach at this point and seriously we can't assume it's the end of things because they just keep going.

Edit: Holy crap there is a lot of hits for Ichigo vs Naruto. Just so I know who all I'm dealing with here, anyone think Naruto stands a chance against Ichigo?

He's been closing the gap in speed as he levels up, but would still get one-shotted if Ichigo hits him and not a clone. I'd actually give Sasuke the better chance since he can actually defend himself pretty well and Ichigo has no "I win" button against illusions that I can remember.
Hmm.

Heh, the Mary Sue of the King of asspulls vs Sucks the master of asspulls and plot fortune.

Such a fight would be nothing less than a parody of it's self. Viewers would laugh as each one miraculously survives and is healed back to full health no matter how dead they were a moment ago.

I used to frequent a forum where we did a lot of "Who would win in a fight" matches, personal favorite is matching over hyped characters against mid tier pokemon and watching the fanboys/girls cry as their favourite character is brutalized by a Pidgeot or a Gengar.

First, we have to establish if Naruto can even SEE spiritual entities, which Ichigo in Shinigami Mode is. Assuming we concede the point that yes, he does, so that the fight can even be somewhat "fairer", i'd imagine the fight would go on for a pretty long time, with Naruto going all the way to summoning the entire might of the nine-tailed fox, and Ichigo still has the upper hand by then. I'd think that at some point Naruto would lose consciousness or otherwise break too hard, and the Fox would take control. Would that mean that Naruto loses? I don't know if Ichigo can handle the fully-released Kyuubi.

As far as I am aware Ichigo is ridiculously stupid fast (like mach 8+) whereas naruto in sage mode is no faster than mach 2 or so. I will see if I can find where they did the calculations.

http://outskirtsbattledome.wikispaces.com/ is a good site for this kind of stuff.

Of course Ichigo has an "I win" button against illusions.

It's called "massive area attack".

Failing that, unless we consider that Naruto's illusions possess spiritual energy, Ichigo would be able to sense where Naruto is at any given time and bitchslap the hell out of him.

Heck, let's make this interesting. Instead of Ichigo, let's put... Byakuya up against Naruto.

Give me internets. Now.

This is apparently the fourth measurement that says Ichigo at the Aizen level is Mach 10. Since then he was powered up in the Fullbring arc and we've learned that undertrained Quincy manifestation has been actively suppressing his Shinigami powers this whole time. The newer numbers would probably be insane.

On this season's anime, Kiniro Mosiac is just...pure adorable. Had a stupid grin the whole time.

Bleach is finally back. Yeahee.
Also, interdeminsional teleporting and sharing the same space? Clearly flashlights will block it. >.>

In other news. I want to have our very own, mostly serious, Bleach vs Naruto discussion. We skirted around it before, and I really wonder who'd win out.

Tsukishima vs Sasuke!

Rules
* The arena is Naruto style woods that is new to both combatants.
* Anima filler material excluded.

Current Sasuke as of Chapter 640ish is to be used. This means, he has his Eternal version of the Mangekyo Sharingan but no Tsukuyomi. Ch478 Danzo comments on it's lack of time alteration making it on par with standard genjitsu, and it probably was. Similarity Izanagi is noted as requiring Hashirama's cells through Izanami apparently isn't. And it's almost the same with Tsukishima. He is however alive and breathing rather than an invisible spirit. Since Ninjitsu and Nature Transformations are learnable traits Book of the End can teach Tsukishima every single Ninjitsu, Yin-Yang, Sealing, or Genjitsu technique Sasuke knows. Like Death Battle, there is no outside help. No Summons and no TO. Sasuke doesn't awakened a Rinnigan during the battle and Tsukishima doesn't insert him self into Sasuke's training days to learn new tricks from Orochimaru.

Who do you think would win?
