Bleach the 3rd

I bet you were expecting this post to be about BLEACH The 3rd Phantom, right?  Well, it’s not.  It’s about the 3rd season boxset of BLEACH.

I couldn't find a good pic of the boxset itself, so enjoy this one

The boxset contains episodes 42-63, “original & uncut.”  These episodes finish off the Rukia Rescue Mission and start off the Bount’s Blasphemous Fillers and Aizen’s Atrocious Arancar Plan.  Also included are the “Next Episode” previews and Kon’s extra Soul Reaper Guides that weren’t shown on [adult swim].

I’d suggest picking up the boxset along with a copy of the newest BLEACH manga.  OR, wait and see if they’ll release the boxset as a limited edition with an extra goodie like they did with season 1 and 2.

According to Otaku Dan, the boxset doesn’t include the happy stickers that you get by buying the DVD volumes separately, which makes me kind of sad D:

Reach out and Crush Someone

Shonen Jump has updated their site.  Those who subscribe or buy the mag in the newstands should be getting their newest issue soon.  But I found all I needed on the site:

A Change in Plans

Happy 4th day after the 30th of June! (Although technically it’s already July 5th)

This news might be a little too late (heck, it was too late for me, too), but BLEACH has been pushed back to air at midnight instead of 12:30 on [adult swim].  Moribito is also a half an hour earlier, but CG and the others are still at the same time (this was all caused by Star Wars being moved to a different time).

It looks like this change is here to stay, as the [a s] website shows that next Saturday’s schedule is the same.

They will still be airing 2 new BLEACH episodes.

Resolve – Monochrome Factor 3, BLEACH 24

TOKYOPOP claims Monochrome Factor 3 will be released September 9th.  Needless to say, my trip to the bookstore today resulted in me buying one extra, unexpected book.

No, it Can’t Be! Is That a TV-MA Rating?

Coffee?  What’s that?
